maracas,

Is it a support of other women to choose or is there more?

There is more or otherwise you would'nt be getting shall we say all emotional. I do hope it is not a sense of regret. That would be awful indeed.

I for one enjoy your posts. They are rational.

But how do we reconcile the women’s right to chose with gender equality? Is gender equality merely an equalisation scheme, where women get to legally do whatever they like to men, in some strange reciprocation for perceived historical cross-generational injustices instituted against them?

I see no difference between the genders when it comes to raising offspring. If women have the right to terminate post conception, why would men not have the right to opt out? Anything else, tends to support the idea that gender equality is a social engineering sham that will soon have to fail.

I fully understand that the majority of people want abortions on demand whether by suction or RU486. Good luck to the majority.

What I don't like is this abortion pride business. Why can't women do all this stuff in dark corners where it belongs and then the so called "God squad" such as myself wouldn't start preaching.

Rebecca Huntley writes about "consumers" as if it's like buying flowers or bringing joy into the world.

I wish I was one of the majority who don't have a conscience, that way I could take the easy way out on a daily basis instead of having to face up to life as it is and not the way I would like it to be.

aaah, Such is life Friedrich.

The assumption that pro-life people have no understanding of the complexities of this issue, and what women go through, is false. Personally, I have spent hours upon hours studying all the difficulties associated with this issue. I have met people who have been through abortion. Many of my fellow workers in the pro-life movement have devoted countless hours to pregnancy centers. We know how compelx it is, becuase that is why it is so difficult to solve. When trying to assist women and address the root causes that lead to abortion, the complexity of it is simply overwhelming and it is hard to know where to start. Perhaps that is why most people prefer to repeat tried and true mantras like "its her right to choose". It is easier than trying to address what would cause her to feel she had to make that choice

Sherrin Ward:
Are you saying a woman should not have the right of choice ?
You refer to i as a Mantra........ It is the bottom line.....!!
