Originally posted by Krill View PostThe interesting point about the personhood timing is exactly how you then classify exactly what crimes the mother can commit against the foetus. Is a miscarriage murder? Manslaughter? What if she intentially tries to self abort? Using a coat hanger? Attempts suicide or puts herself into a position where her life is at risk unless the foetus is aborted (drug OD etc)? Self harm to herself, does that count as assault on the foetus? The fact that a doctor takes part in an abortion procedure can be viewed as protecting the womans health, not just as enabling the abortion itself. I'm pretty sure Imran and I discussed this in the last abortion thread.
Whichever way you cut it the mother comes first, and the more people fight against giving women control over their own bodies the more danger the foetuses are going to be put. Abortion with a cut off at 24 weeks (late term abortions after this only legal when risk to mothers life etc) is pretty much a reasonable compromise.
I just pity the women in the world that can't have this.
I think most pro-life Americans in this thread would be happy to bury the issue if this were the case in the US.(\__/)

We have this discussion at least once a week,
No one ever has anything new to say about it,
And no one is ever going to change their minds.

It is actually a serious question.
People do change their minds. People's positions do evolve. If they never think about it, neither of those things are likely to happen.
To me people have made thoughtful, useful posts in this thread.(\__/)

Failing that, you could do what I did and make up a dumb fake porno as a joke. Then draw attention to it for a pity-laugh.

That won't do; I'm pretty sure Dinner does that already, at least when he doesn't get properly cooked hamburgers.
