she didn't kill a baby to begin with, and thus can not be killing another. And having an abortion will then occur before there is a baby, antichoice revisionist linguistics none withstanding.

That aside, it is none of your business why she has an abortion or whether she was on birth control or not.

But given that some fundies argue that they should be on contraception, then certainly if she got pregnant while on contraception, even a second time, those same fundies really don't have any justification arguing that she shouldn't have an abortion.

your no fun, what's the point?! This is called a "debate" forum. Debating is very repetative.
no, jlee. Debate is not repetitive, as it involves people listening to the other side. Prolife trolls coming in here and regurgitating the same lies time after life, that is not "debate." that is spamming, that is trolling.

you have put a gradinet of risks on different types of surgery.
are you telling me there isnt a gradient of risk to different types of surgery,
nope, as that is true. I am saying that you are now making that gradient a criteria for whether the surgery should be allowed or not. So I am asking you were you are putting that gradient? Shoudl any surgery with high risk not be aloowed? Or are you saying that only surgeries where the treated condition carries a high risk, should surgery be allowed? Because those are the only two possibilities that I read from your post. So which one is it?

.





steen please show me where I said that any surgery should not be performed.I have not said that,you are reading something into one line out of my post that is not there.I do not believe that any medically required surgery should be banned{please note I said medically required surgery>.This is now getting boring steen I have clearly explained what was happening in that thread,and what you have posted has nothing to do with what was in the thread.As to putting a gradient of risk to ban certain types of surgery,i think you will find that was jlee,not me.I just pointed out that to .N.O.T have heart surgery carried more risks than .N.O.T having an abortion,at no point did I say that it should be banned.

nope, I am not saying that. Rather, I am asking you how you see the issue of risk as having any validity in determining whether abortions are valid/allowed or not? I would love to see how you come to a decision based on that, without also affecting the right to all sorts of other surgeries.





i repeat I have never said that any medically required surgery should be banned or not.So please give it up

yes, and abortions are some of the most life-improving surgeries there are. We saw that in the past in the us, where women were so desperate to terminate their unwanted pregnancies that they would incur tremendous risks in the process. And we see it today in the countries where contraception is limited and abortion is illegal, where every hospital has a "women's wing" for the women who have undergone unsafe abortions and are suffering the health consequenses of this. Yet, women there still abort, despite the risks. As such, the access to a safe, legal abortion is a tremendous relief. Only those who neglect women completely can not see the value in that.
do you have this empathy with drug addicts in hospital from an overdose,
yes, I treat them all the time.

Quote:
do you have the same feelings for a car thief in hospital because he crashed a stolen car,
yes. They are patients. I don't judge their action, only their needs.

Quote:
if a person wishes to commit a *crime*{which they are doing if abortion is illegal in that country}they like any other criminal have to take the consequences.
and as such, they should suffer preventable diseases. Yup, we sure see how little compassion you store you your little grinch heart.[/quote]





sorry I have plenty of compassion but its all for the victims of crime,i can not feel sympathy for an heroin addict who mugs old ladies to support thier addiction,or for a car thief who crashes the stolen car into a group of children,sorry but my sympathy is for the family.Wanting the law to be obeyed as nothing to do with being a grinch.When you get into your car every morning,you are accepting the risks involved,is that a correct assumption,therefore if you take drugs then you are accepting the risks for that.Do you feel this sympathy with a criminal after he has been convicted and crys I shouldnt be here.I also wonder just how much sympathy you would have for a burns victim if it turned out they had firebomed a womens health clinic.Please be completely honest with your answer.

you have made implications about the validity of medical treatment based on risks. Yes, as I questioned earlier, I am not sure you really want to go here. You seem woefully unprepared for the issues in that discussion. Go read up on the oregon helth plan and the bitter debates that erupted over that.
Quote:

all surgeries are medically required. The surgeon won't do the surgery without a valid reason.
Quote:
this is now getting boring steen I have clearly explained what was happening in that thread,and what you have posted has nothing to do with what was in the thread.
so you are retracting the implication that abortion somehow was not valid or did not have enough adverse potential outcome to be valid. Ok, your retraction is duly noted. (because you weren't trying some dishonest antichoice word trickery here, were you? You are not that dishonest, I hope.)
Quote:

ok, if you say so. Sorry about the confusion.
Quote:

ah, ok. Just like not having an abortion carries ore risks than having plastic surgery, f.Ex. Yes, and the relevance is what, exactly? If you are not talking about a risk-gradient, why would you bring up the issue of one having more grave consequenses than the other ( a not entirely correct claim anyway, btw, as I pointed out)?

Yes, I am awaiting your answer on that one.

And steen says *yup, we sure see how little compassion you store you your little grinch heart*


----what?? Steen telling someone else they don't have compassion! Excuse me while I throw up *gag*...How ridiculus! Steen your little black heart ( the one that advocates killing innocent unborn children) has about the least compassion of anyone i've ever came in contact with....You are a sad, sick, twisted and vile person...You are a misanthropist and a misogynist because you advocate the abortion of boys and girls....How dare you say someone else has no compassion! Women's rights right? What about all the *little women* who have been aborted...Where are their rights? That right they dont' matter to you and that makes you a hypocrit and a misogynist.

ah, ok. So you accept the current risk assessment regarding surgeries because they were done by people who know what they are talking about, right? Funny how abortion is part of that risk gradient, and have been found to be one of the most positive surgeries because it is so very safe as surgeries go and because it reaps so imense benefits compared to not doing the surgery. So we are in agreement that those who did these risk gradients find abortion to be a safe and beneficial medical procedure.

Great, then we don't have to argue over anything.

yes, I am not at all surprised. That is the lack of empathy I have come to expect from prolifers. I suspect that it the only reason you can so completely ignore the woman. That aside, where the law is broken or not is irrelevant to whether the person needs care or not. Caring for a patient doesn't mean that I will feel sorry when the law picks up that person afterwards. That aside, your stereotypical and narrow view of drug addicts is duly noted.
Quote:
when you get into your car every morning,you are accepting the risks involved,is that a correct assumption,
and if I have an accident, I also expect there to be a medical system that can help me out. That is also true, btw, if people engage in sex and the woman ends up with an unwanted pregnancy. It is no less an unintended than driving and having an accident.
Quote:
therefore if you take drugs then you are accepting the risks for that.
and also that there is medical treatment available to help me
Quote:
do you feel this sympathy with a criminal after he has been convicted and crys I shouldnt be here.
i feel sympathy for his distress. That has nothing to do with my approach to medical care, though. Funny how you tried to make that switch from where we were talking about providing medical care to people. I am sure it was unintended, and that you meant no deception, so I won't take it as such.
Quote:
i also wonder just how much sympathy you would have for a burns victim if it turned out they had firebomed a womens health clinic.Please be completely honest with your answer.
i would be upset at their action, and I would feel great compassion for the horrible pain and pending horrible rehab. Once again, you seem unable to comprehend that there is a difference between the approach to a patient and to a patient's actions when not a patient. Doctors don't check out patients’ morals and actions before treating them. Have you ever gone to the er and been asked questions to determine whether you actually deserved care? No, of course not. That would sound outright silly.

But I really don't expect people with the mindset of a prolifer to ever understand that, so lets not continue a futile discussion on this. Yes, you can escalate the act of the person or the personal effect on me, and the answer will be the same, so lets not even bother. You don't have the mindset to be a physician, so you simply won't understand.

and it is only your opinion that there was a baby that was killed.

And actually, there is more than my opinion behind it. In science/medicine (in other words, in the *factual* world) "baby" is the developmental stage that begins with birth, and thus does not exist just prior to birth, when the stage rather is "fetus." so it is a bit more than just an "opinion." it is the revisionist linguistics of prolifers that is pushing the idea of a zygote as a "baby." yes, dishonest imagery is just part of the prolife trickery and deception we have come to expect because your arguments are based solely on emotional appeal with complete disregard for reality. So you need to resort to such trickery to make your argument. We understand that already, so there really isn't any need to try to reinforce that impression.

yeah, there are health risks to open heart surgery, should we ban that too? Everything has it's risks and so does pregnancy so that's why no one should be forced to do either against their will.. Glad we cleared that up.

Do you really believe that open heart surgery and abortion are even close,if you do not have open heart surgery you most probably die,are you trying to say that if you dont have an abortion you will most probably die?If that was the case shouldnt pregnancy be banned?
< span class="postbody">
here you tried to set up a risk gradien, implying that risks should be used to consider banning certaint procedures while also trying to make such a differentiation between abortion and open heart surgery.


Well, I just showed where you indeed did make such an implication, so unless you can explain that away, I see no need to apologize for a direct observation. If you can't stand by your own word, what good is it to discuss with you?

Quote:
and for the racist comment against the british people.
pointing out that british soldiers in belfast indeed have killed children with rubber bullets is a fact, a direct observation, not a racist comment. What a nutty claim. Yes, I said it in a harsh way to megamoron who had more than warranted a harsh reply. So what?

Quote:
i will answer the rest of your posts then please do not post to me untill you have apologized for the lies.
as there were no lies, I can only conclude that you are getting out of your dept in our argument and seek the cowards retreat with a silly reply shouted over your shoulder. Like the kid who got insulted about not being picked first and takes his ball and goes home. How lame and pathetic.

suicide and attempted suicide: legal issues.


Brown jm, cornish j, swart gt.


Canadian federal and ontario provincial statutes are reviewed as they relate to suicide and attempted suicide. Issues addressed include involuntary committal to psychiatric facilities, death by suicide as a legal cause of action, insurance exclusionary clauses and coroner's inquests.


that does not mean it's illegal. It is not illegal to kill yourself here in canada. However, it *is* illegal to help someone else kill him/herself.
