Dear Big Al,

Sounds like you are pretty unsupportive of women.
Perhaps a lack of REAL midnight faces in your immediate vicinity has lead you to fixate on this issue a little too much?

Hmmmm?

The Embryo is Sacred
The baby can be adopted, its just a minor interruption to a woman’s life.
The forever torment of wondering where her adopted child went - happy or not? - The embryo is sacred.
Too many children already, not enough to feed them – the embryo is sacred.
A husband watches the swelling belly of his wife, not his child – his wife was raped – the embryo is sacred.
Interrupts her education – the embryo is sacred.
Interrupts her career – may be that promotion – the embryo is sacred.
Too emotionally unstable for pregnancy – the embryo is sacred.
Hormonal imbalance, post natal depression – the embryo is sacred.
Millions of abused or starving or exploited children across the world.
The embryo is more sacred than anyone.

DavidJS and Emily Maguire don’t seem to understand the basics of abortion in this country. Abortion is federally funded, but governed by the laws of the states. So pro-lifers in a national abortion debate are naturally going to talk about funding. Its one of the main things the Federal Government can address. Pro-lifers sensibly leave any talk of abortion bans for debates in state parliaments.

The real question is doesn’t everyone believe that it would be better to help women avoid unwanted abortions? Doesn’t everyone believe it would be better if abortion was rare? If so, how are we going to help women who would prefer another choice to abortion? That’s where an inquiry would be helpful.

Ringtail: The unborn are sacred, the unborn did not ask to be where they are in a womb. The unborn did not vote or agree to a painful undignified death and to dumped in pieces somewhere, probably a rubbish bin.The unborn would like to live and grow experience life just as you have. The unborn, if asked, would love to eventually have a family of their very own. YES! the unborn are SACRED, they are pulsating with life no different from you and I, they would want to fulfill their destiny whatever it is.
Woudn't it be better if there were a system to give ALL mothers ALL the help they require to give birth. Then a system to allow adoption. A sad, painful life as an adoptee would be better than just to be thrown away as a piece of stinking garbage surely!! Regards, numbat

Thanks, numbat, I knew I'd reel in at least one G.B. I find it extremely perverse that you believe embryos are more important than starving, abused or exploited children.
Regards
Ringtail
