Uhm, WTF Britain?

I'm not sure what bearing that has on the issue.

You can't see why it could be rather traumatic for a 13 year old girl to go through the physical and mental traumas of childbirth just to have her kid taken away anyway because she's not mentally competent enough to raise it?

You can't see why it could be rather traumatic for a 13 year old girl to go through the physical and mental traumas of childbirth just to have her kid taken away anyway because she's not mentally competent enough to raise it?

But an expert [consulted by the court] said allowing her to give birth might be the less-damaging course.

"If the pregnancy were terminated I believe that this would cause considerable harm to this young girl, who would see it as an assault.

"Continuing the pregnancy...may have a less detrimental effect on her given her current circumstances," the expert said.

Others disagreed, which was the point of having a court hearing about it. If this kind of thing was just a rubber stamp based on what one person says then wouldn't that be worse?

As is usually the case with me and abortion, I can't think of a particularly good reason why abortion is a better option than adoption.

When you grow a vagina, we'll care about your opinion on the matter.

Man, Dinodoc wins another thread.

With your intellectual backing as well as his own prodigious powers ?

Does this also mean you should grow a vagina, so then we can care about your opinion?

Does your lack of balls prevent you prom posting in 99% of threads on Poly?

[Lorizael]

When you grow a vagina, we'll care about your opinion on the matter.

So you don't care what male OBGYNs think about abortion?

[Sava]

Not any more than I care about your opinion or approval for any number of other civil rights. That's what you ****-eating morons don't get. Women's civil rights aren't up for debate. Get with the program and shut the **** up.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Women's civil rights aren't up for debate.

Of course they are. WTF is wrong with you?

[dannubis]

I'm not sure what bearing that has on the issue.

You don't see the problem in having a child going to the process of delivering a baby ?

[dannubis]

Of course they are. WTF is wrong with you?

Depending on what it is you want to debate...

[Sava]

Of course they are. WTF is wrong with you?

I'm pro-woman?

Nerds need to learn their place. Nobody cares about your views.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Civil Rights by their definition are debatable things. It's rights bestowed by the civil polities. They are always subject to debate because we live in a democracy.

Furthermore, the rights of the unborn are also considered "civil rights" FWIW.
