I'm against Abortion, except in cases where the lives of both mother and child are threatened. Everyone should have their chance at life.

Only when both lives are threatened?

Generally, yes. Does the mother have more of a rite to live than the child? Such decisions are the most difficult to make, involving life and death.

Yes, I believe the mother does have more of a right to live than an unborn child; not only philosophically but legally speaking as well. And pray tell, if this was your wife and unborn child, would you honestly make the same decision, or is this merely mental gymnastics on your part?

I believe it is morally just to allow them both the chance at life. That said, when it comes to making a decision I am a human, equally inclined to make a decision based on what I would want rather than what is necessarily standing by my beliefs. In an ideal situation I would not want either my wife or child to die, and if it comes to it who am I to decide who lives and dies?

You could have saved quite a bit of text by simply answering "yes" to my last question.

I was asked my opinion and gave it. If you feel differently, your opinion.

But we are men, it is not our place to decide the life of our wife over the child she cares, it is Her's, just as it is not your wife's place to choose Your life or the child's.

If a man is the father of the child, then it is rightfully there's as well. That was sexist of you to say that the child's is only the woman's, because it is not.

When did people get the right to choose  to kill someone else who's not willfully attacking them?  If a parent needed an organ transplant, she wouldn't have the right to kill her child for the organ.

We don't generally have the right to choose who lives and dies.

Child?!  Oh, no, no, no, no no...your thinking is completely warped on this issue.  It's not a child.

 

*IT* is a parasitical tissue mass, not unlike a cancer.  It's not a child...it's no different from cancer!

Yeah, liberal family planning is based on the fundamental insight that children are parasites. Unlike liberals.
