56 replies, posted
This subject is almost guaranteed to cause a shit storm, but i'm still glad people can be informed about safe abortions.
Joe's Pizzaria and Abortion Clinic, your loss is our sauce.
But seriously I want to hear their advertisements, they are all going to start off serious but sooner or later they'll start to be funny.

Humans are not capable of asexual reproduction.

I rather expected an anti-abortion site or something.
"Have you had an accident in the last 9 months that wasn't your fault?"
I do not see the issue with abortion at all, even if it is as late as 40 weeks.
I see abortion as wrong. If you don't want a child, be [i]fucking[/i] careful. Use three layers of condoms, I don't know.
Unless rape or similar actions made the mother go pregnant. It's still sad about the unborn and killed baby, though. And of course the person who got raped. The rapist can go rot in jail for all I care.

You didn't explain WHY you see it as wrong.
I'm not sure why this is even a debate. It seems that the pro-life side seems to have forgotten that choice means they can choose one way or the other. Abortion being legal doesn't mean they have to get one when they have an unwanted kid, they can still choose to carry it and adopt it out.
Idiots.
[QUOTE=The golden;34325935]But it's not my body nor is it my bodies resources going into making the child.[/QUOTE]
But it is. Aside from the obvious, the work you put into obtaining the funding necessary to raise it counts. You may not be hooked up to the umbilical cord but your body still expends resources for that child, albiet indirectly.
Or at least it should. There's plenty of dads out there that don't give a shit and let the woman do everything. Including make the money it costs to care for the kid.

[QUOTE=Chekko;34328635]I see abortion as wrong. If you don't want a child, be [i]fucking[/i] careful. [/quote] That doesn't mean it should be illegal though. Let the people who think it's wrong carry and adopt, let those who don't abort, debate over.[quote]Use three layers of condoms, I don't know.
[/QUOTE]
More likely to fail that one layer due to friction between the condoms.

Because the baby is basically alive (after six weeks or so). I don't really see abortion as "murder", but it's close.
I'm all for abortion being an option for every women, but I'm not sure how I feel about advertising it.
Unless it's just along the same lines as those "Think" adverts or the ones the NHS has about strokes, heart attacks and the like. But then it should be called an "Awareness campaign" not "Advertising".
[QUOTE=FalconKrunch;34325227]She's got a point, although I don't think the effect is going to be so big that you should worry about it.[/QUOTE]
Surely there's going to be consultants and people talking to them and it won't be as if a woman'll walk in, they'll just give her a pill and she squats down and produces a pile of sludge.

If we can kill sentient animals and not consider it murder, killing an unborn embyro (Which, oddly enough, has a very low cognitive ability) should not be considered murder either.
The way I see it, species is irrelevant - Nowadays anything to do with something being "Humane" or "Inhumane" is to do with an individual's sentience and the pain caused in the process.

You can pick up brain-waves on a foetus after about 6 weeks.
[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;34325308]I don't understand what's wrong with abortion anyways.
If a woman gets raped, why should she have to live with having a child from it?[/QUOTE]
Why should a child die because their father was a rapist?
I doubt the commercials will be anything shocking, like some people think.
I am against abortion, for reasons I argued about all too many times, so I won't bother. However, if there is any legislation passed that is pro-life, their needs to be major overhauls to the adoption system. There seems to be a mentality of the baby needs to be protected until it's born, but when it is out, who gives a fuck you're on your own. If a mother can't take care of a child, there needs to be a proper way to make sure she doesn't have to suffer for it that doesn't take the child's life, or else she may get some shady back ally abortion or the child will be born into a not-so-nice life.

You also don't see the problem with a fascist state that exacts total control over its citizens so really that doesn't mean much.

Because a woman does not want a kid born from rape. Is it really that hard to grasp?
For something to die, it has to be born first.
Nadine Dorries spoke at our school once, and everyone thought she was a massive bitch, lol. Trust her to pull this shit.

From a very technical standpoint, something has to live in order to die. It doesn't have to be "born".

I sincerely doubt that, a much more likely alternative is that they just feel that legalizing it is permitting murder.
