Ok this is going to get ugly - :-P (Stirs controversy and hides)

No death penalty but abortion's OK ?

An individual commits a anus crime and is allowed to live.

A baby is put to death because of inconvenience.

Both knowingly kill.

But one does it out of convenience.

Something is wrong with this mental image ? :-?

When does the fetus become a baby? My daughter was born 6 weeks early, she certainly wasn't a fetus when she came out.

Except abortion at that late stage isn't legal in the UK afaik, so it can't be claimed that this would be viewed as "OK".

You might as well turn this into a vegetarian debate and say "why is it wrong to kill people, but okay to kill harmless animals?"

@ Cecilia
"a fetus is not a baby"
-----------------

fe·tus ** (*P*)**Pronunciation Key**(fetes)
n. pl. fe·tus·es
*. In humans, the unborn young from the end of the eighth week after conception to the moment of birth.


If you respect human life, it's a baby.
If it's an inconvenience, it's a fetus.

And I can say that someone who eats vegetables "doesn't respect life"?

The important issue as I see it is whether a fetus has any level of sentience. This may be the case in later stages, but I do not see how this can be the case earlier on, so I disagree with the idea that all abortion is wrong, or comparable to murder.

What is 'a anus crime?'

Did you mean that, or did you mean heinous?

I'm with X-ray on this one:

What's a "anus crime"? Is it something committed after a vindaloo?

Woah Man! I had no idea. :-o

After seeing what you've been through I can really understand why your pent up frustrations often result in vitriolic outbursts.

Did you receive counselling afterwards? Those (Bleeps)have a lot to answer for

Err, just a little question if you don't mind. do they have broadband or dial-up on death row?

I jest! I jest! :-P

Oh yeah. about the topic.

Hundreds of thousands of innocent people are given the death penalty all the time but their lives have no significance. It isn't reported or even discussed. They are just brushed away as 'collateral damage'
Where's the justice in that :-?
