Message | Darnussian law already permits abortion in cases of medical emergency. Any further relaxation of the laws would be a slippery slope towards abortion-on-demand. |
Date | 00:25:23, May 10, 2014 CET | From | Liberal Democratic Union | To | Debating the On Abortion |
Message | First of all, a fetus is not a child, and is only living because of cell development. Since cell development has not been completed, as the baby has not been born, it is incorrect to assume a fetus is a child. Second, Darnussian law grants the right to abortion in an emergency, but still does not grant a woman the right to her own body. Restricting this to emergency prevents unready females from aborting to save the fetus/baby from a painful and unsupported life. |
Date | 01:43:33, May 10, 2014 CET | From | Hosian Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the On Abortion |
Message | In Hosian teaching, life becomes life from the moment of conception. Terminating human life like this is not acceptable. There is always a better alternative than abortion. |
