Where's runner?

Runnerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It's the easy way out Dave.

What gets me is when feminists bang on about 'reproductive rights'. For a start it's quite an exercise in Orwellian doublespeak to call aborting a fetus your 'reproductive right'. Why don't they call it their termination rights?

Secondly how is it an equality or feminist issue when women hold ALL the cards when it comes to unwanted pregnancies. If any party should be looking for equality in reproductive rights it's men.

It's a funny world.

'The fact that there are doctors and nurses who will abort a baby and watch as it struggles unsuccessfully to live'

I agree. They shouldn't watch.

I think the Article says it all.
I watched a news bulletin on the march the other night. Some people were carrying a banner which said,
" It's easy being pro-choice if you are not the one being killed"
I could add, or being left to die!

Wow! That is so sad to read that there is more legal protection for Australian fish than Australian babies in the womb. I am a student midwife. Midwives & doctors know very well that the babies being aborted are living human beings & that there is nothing magical about birth that changes a fetus from a 'non-human piece of tissue' to 'beautiful & precious little baby.' Any doctor or midwife who tries to claim that an unborn baby is not a human (and therefore worthy of basic human rights) should probably re-sit their Biology exam.

>>If any party should be looking for equality in reproductive rights it's men.<<

I agree but we have to be careful about which men we mean. If it's men who would become fathers without a termination I agree they should have same 'reproductive rights' as the mother to be. If it's men like Cardinal Pell - who shouldn't be fathering children in the first place - I don't see why their love for the Bible and Jesus should give them some special licence to pry into the personal business of pregnant couples. That would be like giving 14 year old twi-hards who've read Twilight like a hundred times and think Edward is dreamy 'equality in reproductive rights' with those couples: unwise and inexplicable.
