By Michael Cook, published 27/10/2008

Victoria's Abortion Law Reform Bill decriminalises abortion and forces doctors with conscientious objections to refer women to doctors who will do abortions.

pro_abortion activists often express a view that a father has no rights to feelings for his unborn child. Also often expressed is view that a mother to be should only consider her unborn child to be a potential human being, rather than a real life unborn child, a boy or a girl. Otherwise she might inspire guilt in those who consider that abortion is merely a 'termination'.
My beliefs are not based on religion. The question of God is irrelevant.

Michael sums up the ideals of the Secularist. He writes
'There is only one bright side to this shameful law: it has exposed "pro-choice" to the world as a rigid, profoundly undemocratic, totalitarian ideology'

I am surprised that it has taken you so long to see that social engineering from this God and man hating lobby have never believed in democracy.

Runner: How is a public vote by our elected representatives not democratic?
Do you believe you would get a different result if the general public voted on this, all evidence says otherwise. Then again reality never stopped you from making stuff up.
To the Author, get of it you lost we won. So what if Vic is the first, I hope that many more states and countries for that matter follow Vics example.

It's a lot better than the situation when the God-botherers had police arrest and charge doctors who carried out terminations, and forced the whole thing underground. This was much to the detriment of wiomen who were then forced into unsafe "backyard" operations by unqualified people.

I take it you thought it perfectly okay for our Government to send our troops to Iraq? I take it you were repulsed by the violent protesters who took their anger on the streets opposing democracy in action. This of course was in contrast to the peaceful protests against legislating the murder of the unborn. So by your logic Mr Howard's policies on immigration is perfectly okay!

wadaye - nobody is 'pro-abortion'. But most of us are pro-freedom and pro-happiness and most of us have the common sense to recognise the enormous difference between the happiness and health of a real live human being and the continued survival of a small cluster of cells.

Why is the Catholic church and its supporters so reluctant to specify exactly when -- according to God -- a single cell becomes a 'human being'? Let's have it out in the open so we can debate it seriously. Or could it be that they know that when they state their case clearly the absurdity of it will also become clear?
