Alot of what I read on abortion and
philosphy differ from alot of our views
that we do have so far but I want to bring
it to the next step.
In one particular article that I like he
explains that their is three levels of
debates on this subject, we are on the
first if we can call it that/pre-first
level of debate. Pro-choice debate is
able to bring their debate to the third
level and the pro-life side has made it
into second level but much the less can't
go any higher due to certain rights
circumstances.
In philosophy religion is not on the same
plain, we dont use other people views to
make our decisions but our own free
will/independent thought ( ex. religion.)
The main point was consciousness, the
fetus is not at the same as a newborn
nowhere near and therefore it came down to
had the higher level of such and why
person hood is granted a persons
consciouness .
The article can be found at

I love how it was said though, religion
should never be brought into a debate,
what about the non-religious person, the
atheist and the agnostic. It isn't in the
article but in philosophy in general,
philosphy considers religion on a
different plain as it only believe
knowledge come from god and not our inner
selves as where wisdom is what we make of
it.
Alot of us when we get into a heavy
debate, we have a tendancy to talk about
how the z/e/f shares charactheristics of a
pararsite, although some would say that we
hate, we don't we just have a different
level of views on this. To deny that it
does its almost foolish but at the same
time what cant be denied is the fact that
it is a natural process but it can also be
unnatural (Birth-control etc.)

A few questions, I am not against religion
(im agnostic) but should religion really
have any say on us?
Now I know a few of you on here are very
respectful (even if you are religious)
therefore I am not talking about the odd
few good ones!
Their is religious organization that still
want contraceptives banned, it is a
christian organization called STOPP, they
are also trying to rid school of sexual
education and to have abstinence only
programs.
Is it a really positive way to be
promoting to bunch of rebellious teenagers
that sex is not acceptable or to make one
feel bad about their own body?
