There are plenty of FAQs out there which people like ed can be directed to if they are truly interested in these "issues" they raise.

Your scrutiny of her actions and the resultant judgement thereof shouldn't have any purchase on whether she is able to acquire an abortion if she feels she needs one. <br /><br />The use of the word "child" in your comment is quite disingenuous as well. It is also rather unnerving that you would value allowing a cluster of cells to continue dividing over the ability of a free-agent in the world to make her own decisions about her life, body and circumstance.<br /><br />Finally, you mention when you're "all for abortion". I'll provide you a convenient paraphrase here:<br /><br />"I'm ed and I think women should only be allowed to have a legal medical procedure performed if I approve of their reasons for doing so because I don't trust women and don't seem to have a problem with my deep misogynist streak."Cat in the Creamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807503049047019989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977722860251289885.post-43020184337122514702010-01-23T15:33:45.545+08:002010-01-23T15:33:45.545+08:00Wow, that really is a lot of sweeping generalisati...Wow, that really is a lot of sweeping generalisation in 3 paragraphs. <br /><br />At the end of the day, it's the woman who, and her body which is carrying the foetus. I just believe she ought to have both the option of terminating the pregnancy and the option of carrying it to term. It's about a woman having autonomy over HER OWN BODY. <br /><br />Oh and a foetus? Isn't a child. Colour me confused over here.<br /><br />Not entirely sure what you mean to say in your 2nd paragraph other than the fact that you seem to be blithely compartmentalising possibly universal characteristics by gender.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977722860251289885.post-77302989201516971212010-01-23T14:16:00.961+08:002010-01-23T14:16:00.961+08:00I see. So you don't believe that human beings...I see. So you don't believe that human beings, and especially within a socio-economic system such as this, aren't generally compelled to do what they do by self-absorption, selfishness, self-centerdness and so on? <br /><br />Personally, I wouldn't trust the women of these days as they seem to be worse than the men of those days. They seem to embody the worst traits of men and do it far better than them as well. And in a confucian milieu, they serve as the 'party whip' keeping men in line for the government by their 'pragmatism', etc.<br /><br />And where does the choice of the child come in mate? I thought you were pro-choice? I'm all for abortion, but that is provided that the women's life is at stake, or under extreme psychological duress. <br /><br />ededhttp://according2ed.comnoreply@blogger.com
