The guy at the table must be the product of two truly wonderful parents. I was arguing about abortion over at Blue Collar Muse with someone who posed the idea of being "unwillingly pregnant," and I had to point out that she neglected to mention that rape is the only way a woman can become unwillingly pregnant. Even in the case of rape, the punishment (and I am for the death penalty here) should be exacted upon the rapist, not the child. I remember a guy on Laura Ingraham a few months ago who thought the ideal population for the world's eco-system was a few billion less than current population. So, some of these nuts, might think the moral thing to do is to kill billions of people to lessen the burden on the planet. So many thoughts….

I thought you meant something else. Tieki, I really do love the Feminists for Life stance: abortion hurts women and is a sign that we are failing people. Now, if we want to take the "more moral" stance to its logical conclusion, we would murder people in war zones because it is "more moral," or kill amputees, because it's "more moral," or mass execute the children of crack addicts, or the elderly (wait, let's not give them any ideas). As you said so brilliantly once, "Killing people is stupid." I think I just found my next "debunking" myth. Scott,

Tieki,

I really do love the Feminists for Life stance: abortion hurts women and is a sign that we are failing people.

Re. lesbians and abortion - you know what is sick? One of the gay commenters on my blog mentioned offline how often he donated at lesbian sperm banks. Oh, great, deliberately bringing kids into the world with lesbian parents. But they aren't being selfish, of course.

I was not intending to imply that side effects from hormones don't exist (whether they pregnancy or things that happen just because that's the function of the female body). I wouldn't even begin to touch the PMS issue for precisely the same reason I don't watch America's Funniest Videos anymore; 90% or more of the videos feature guys getting kicked, punched, bit by dogs, etc... in particular areas of their bodies.
