If the opinion "the death penalty is bad" can be broadcast on the site, then the opinion "Abortion is bad" should be allowed as well.

Well, PG's logic doesn't work in the case of abortion. Occasionally a convicted felon is innocent. A fetus, however, is always a fetus.

Well, I guess you could have cancer that resembled being pregnant. I seriously doubt anyone would object to killing that, though.

For a fetus that is a fetus but that still needs to be aborted, see ectopic pregnancy (when the embryo attaches outside the uterus -- this is, "untreated", generally fatal to the mother).

Stop trying to equate a glob of goo with a person. Please stop. It's nonsensical.

If you truly believe that an unborn child of 8, 6 or even 4 months is just a blob, the local 4-D ultrasound center would like to have a word with you.

It's not your body; It's not your choice; the glob of goo is not a person. Pretty clear. You wouldn't call a zygote a human being would you? A sperm? An egg? The "pro-life" position is purely based on Abrahamic religions. They then covertly deny this when you talk with them.

This is just more patriarchy determining how a woman can or cannot use and live with her body. It's so wrong.

Why can't you let women decide whether or not they want an abortion?

If you don't like it. Don't get one.

We could learn a thing or two from the wise Chinese: they have unlimited legal abortion. That's a system we should model ourselves after.
