[QUOTE="loudshirt, post: 2858661, member: 10585"] I was talking with a friend at work the other night about abortion. He is what I would classify as very religious, and is anti abortion for the most part. We both agreed about health, incest, and rape as cases where abortions should not be restricted. The discussion went on and we talked about all sorts of things like what point it should be illegal to abort. We both had a hard time defining "late term" abortion. We talked about, as others have here, certain groups of women wanting to be able to go out, party and have no consequences of their bad decisions. We talked about getting consent from the father, however we ran into a problem with that. All she would have to say is "I dont know who the father is" and that would be worthless. Then I said something that really made him think. What will happen if you make a woman carry an unwanted baby to term? Will she take care of her body? Will she go to all the Dr. appointments? If she does not want the child why would she? I think it is a really interesting ethical and philosophical discussion about when exactly individual life begins. Not just life starts at conception, but when does that life gain individual rights. [/QUOTE]
