You've been accusing WhateverDude of things and suddenly now you're innocent? I have seen you do this so many times and it's really boring. How about posting like a normal member, not just coming here to create drama where there was none.

And I don't see what makes it strange. Abortion is a common issue. Are only women supposed to discuss the morality of it?
For the record, I am far closer to pro choice than pro life - but I feel as though my suggestion fulfills a bit of a compromise. I guess not.

It's our bodies though, it's not a mans right to tell us whether having an abortion is lazy/unnecessary.

They're the promise of a person. I mean I can't really think of a fetus without also thinking of a baby or a child. So I can understand people letting that get in the way of their logic when talking about abortion.

I agree that there is definitely an emotional part of having an abortion, but scientifically it's just cells up to a certain amount of weeks. It's down to the woman to make the decision, whether or not someone thinks its morally right or wrong.
