The moral case for abortion grows weaker.

[url=http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/01/23/brit_hume_the_moral_case_for_allowing_abortion_grows_ever_weaker.html?fb_action_ids=10201286410664746&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_ref=.UuE81OT9AEs.like&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%5B4]link[/url][quote]BRIT HUME: This is the 41st anniversary of the day the Supreme Court found that a generalized right to privacy it had basically invented, meant that a woman has a constitutional right to snuff out an unborn life, a human being with a beating heart. That's what a fetus as young as six weeks is. Small wonder these protesters still come every year to register their continuing objections. Some estimates are that as many as 55 million abortions -- 55 million -- have occurred since the Court acted. In that time, science has given us an ever clearer picture of just how much of a baby a fetus is. At 20 weeks, we now know, these tiny creatures can hear, even recognize a mother's voice. Their toenails are growing and their hearts beat loud enough to be heard by a stethoscope. The moral case for allowing such beings to be killed grows ever weaker and its advocates resort to ever more absurd euphemisms to describe what they support. They're not really pro-abortion, they've long said, they're pro-choice. This isn't about killing unborn babies. it's about reproductive health. And the biggest chain of abortion clinics in the country refers to itself as Planned Parenthood. In 2012, this organization says it carried out -- quote -- "abortion procedures" 329,445 times. Whatever that number represents, it's not parenthood. These protesters here today understand that there is something deeply false and wrong about all this. They come each year to remind the rest of us.[/quote] Discuss.

    It should [i]at least[/i] be legal in the case of sexual assault or complications. At the moment, I see it as appropriate to have abortion open as a "last resort" option. It would be nice not to have such an operation exist in the first place, but unfortunately we're not that advanced (or educated). Both males and females need to be further educated on this matter, especially in the case of sexual assault. [spoiler]I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of aerosol drug released into the atmosphere to lower male testosterone levels on that one, although that's not even remotely plausible and fairly extreme. I wonder if it would work, though?[/spoiler]
