I don't see it as a necessary evil, nor more than I see any operation as a necessary evil. I have no problems with abortion. The only reason people do is cuz they've had it hammered into their heads by religious people that it's somehow wrong. It's part and parcel of the whole anti-sex movement. People have to be punished for having sex for fun. If you are careless or have an accident, you need to spend the next two decades taking care of another human being. Hell, you don't even go to prison for that long for raping someone.

I understand what you mean, when referring to the fundamentalists who are militant pro-life advocates. They're close-minded and ignorant about the issue.

But there are pro-choice people who, even though they allow for some circumstances when abortion is morally acceptable, they still cannot find it in themselves to reduce a fetus in such degrading terms as "lump of flesh."

I'm pro-choice, but I don't support all-out, free-for-all abortion. My pro-choice position is based on what a woman's circumstances were/are.

That raises the question.

If it isn't a person, and it isn't a lump of flesh, what is it, Mr. Fun?

[Alexander's Horse]

wouldn't it make more sense for the Florida legislators to spend more time on helping the local economy and running the government?

Eh, I believe he meant "just a lump of flesh". Clearly, all people are lumps of flesh.

It's called the "Wag the Dog" effect, only instead of a war, they point to values.

So Mr. Fun believes unborn children are persons too?

That's an interesting take.

People < subset of < lump of flesh

C'mon Ben... we love ya!!!

[Ben Kenobi]

nah, I'm happy.

I'm finally moving again!

Well, it seems Mr Fun, thinks that there is an intermediate between 'people' and 'lump of flesh'.

[Agathon]

Cool

DId you buy last month's Maxim. Mariah all over it!!!!

[Ben Kenobi]

I didn't even see it.

But there is a corner store down the way.
