And your incessant whining about people having more than you speaks volumes about you med.
Bro, I've been in medicine for over 20 years and saying that an abortion is "just a medical procedure" is pretty callous. One day you may have kids of your own or have to deal with the death of a child. I once felt much the same as you Pad..............until I witnessed an abortion for the very first time. I've lost count of the number of kids I've responded on who died, some in most horrific and tragic ways. I once responded to a trailer fire in which 2 young boys were entrapped. They were alive and screaming when we arrived on the scene. We desperately tried to make entry so we could save them and as we were advancing their screams stopped. We didn't make it in time and they fucking burned alive! I hope with every fiber of my being that you never have to experience anything like that. Children, be they in the womb or out, are not "just medical procedures" and "parasites"! For crying out loud, have your opinion, that's fine, but don't demean the life of something so precious and valuable!
what could concern anyone more than the ethos of the nation? those whose liberalism gives them some illusory moral high ground tell us time and again that we are all responsible for the well-being of our neighbors, but on this subject we are to merely remain silent because we are men and will never have the procedure performed on us. what hypocrisy is this?
as is vivisection, but i certainly wouldn't condone the use of the procedure on anyone i know (well, maybe a couple of folks. any takers?). even the most indifferent of us is not purely a rational being. our emotions tinge even our most scientific endeavors and cannot simply be severed from any issue.

Your sperm is no more a potential life than the hundreds of thousands of skin cells you slough off each day. It is a single cell that performs a specific function. It only performs that specific function under very specific conditions. Medman said he was being humorous in bringing it up. It seems you are being serious in bringing it up. Please don't even go there Pad. This is a serious topic IMO and I don't joke around about it. Some abortions are necessary. Just like nearly everything in life it's not a black and white issue. Ectopic pregnancies happen all the time. This is where the fertilized egg doesn't descend properly from the fallopian tubes into the uterus. If left unchecked, not only is there virtually zero chance of survival for the fetus, the danger to the mother is pretty grave. Of course it should be aborted. Not even a question in my mind. On the other hand, the 19 year old woman who has graduated from high school who is on her 3rd abortion because she can't keep her legs closed or be bothered with birth control, yeah, I think it's wrong. I still don't think she should be denied an abortion if that's what she chooses. Even if it were outlawed people would still seek them out and the practice would descend back into back alleys with unsterile conditions and unqualified practicioners would be butchering women. I don't want to see that either, but I would like to see better steps taken to educate women and curtail what I call "medically unnecessary" abortions.

what a horribly antiseptic world you must dream of, with people capable of turning off that which makes us human.
