Anti-life? Suppress?
There are people here who said they'd commit murder on a grown human to protect nothing more than potential and you've said that's justifiable because you BELIEVE it's "a life". You have no place calling anybody anti-life.
Throw at me all the over-gorified info you want, I still don't give a shit, I'm not shying away from, nor suppressing, anything.

Before all you pre-hormonal teenagers spiral wildly out of control and spiral wildly out of control with stupid an ill-formed opinoins, IDX (as this medical procedure is actuall called; PBA was a term made up by anti-abortion groups to make people think this fetus was actually being born) was a very rare procedure and is still legal in the US given that the mothers LIFE (different from HEALTH) is at risk.
So yes, I would be infavor of IDX provided that the mother's life or the fetus' life was at risk.

People will have opinions on science, medicine, and their respective ethics regardless of layperson's status with regard to science, medicine and/or their respective ethics. It's just a way of the world.
No, its not really. Unless you are endorsing uninformed opinons...
Ethics can be realtive...knowledge cannot be so.

I believe Ashtar asked you if you believe taking a life is necessary to save one? Presumably being aware of his WELL documented stance, you said "Yes, I do.".-AC

Alliance, many people here could pick apart at your posts, and correct all your grammar mistakes. Plus, you're like what 21? Get a grip mate, you're not exactly a wizened, old academic.
Would have added a few "you pretentious cocky *******" and "****ing arrogant yahoo"'s though.

I didn't pick apart anyone's posts and a rarely call people on spelling or grammar. I did neither in this case. And you're like what, 18? Get a grip, I brought up an entirely relevant dimension to this problem that no one else is addressing between their screams of horror. I asked for a little bit of damn sensibility when addessing this issue. This is not a question of whether or not you like hacking up fetuses, its a question of medical procedure. Examine it as such.
...And if age is what matters to you, then I'm older and wizeneder.
first of all, "partial birth abortion" doesn't exist. It's a term made up by right wing morons that americans are dumb enough to think are intellectual titans. The procedure is called dilation and extraction and is done almost exclusively in cases where the child has an approximatley zero chance of survival beyond the first 2 years and especially in those cases where the delivery of said child will seriously endanger the mother due to birth defects.
