[edit] Dead reference
[4]...not sure what it originally pointed to, and I slogged through the history and didn't see anything. Someone else know/wanna give it a whack? -- Seth Peck (talk) 00:09, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Lookit this little tract I dug up...
Ta da! Idiotic, I know. When I get the time, I'm planning on dissecting this bunk. It'll take some time, especially because I'm going to be reading a lot about embryology so I can discredit the day numbers towards the end. Most of these will involve painstakingly searching for a day-by-day guide to pregnancy online and possibly buying pregnancy calendars despite being a single guy. I'm dissecting this one because most Chick tracts worth dissecting have already been done by the Jabberwock and I've read them and I don't want to inadvertently rip off of him, and even most Tim Todd tracts were already dissected by Boolean Union. When I looked more into Tim Todd's work, I found that at least two of the comics (those on evolution and abortion) undergone significant changes between their present forms and what they (presumably) originally were, so it's nice to have some "unconquered" territory. I'm here to stake my claim and show you the comic for your perusal. Wish me luck! The Heidelberg Kid (talk) 01:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Link to mental health problems
...which I didn't even know was a point of contention, has been debunked. -- Seth Peck (talk) 19:14, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- It has NEVER been accepted within the real world of real doctors. it's a way the right tries to say there is "depression". of course, there is a medical condition that is widly known called Postpartum depression... but somehow the Right ignores that. so, what are we saying about mental illness? hum....

- So, you undergo an extremely stressful and difficult period in your life, then you have all these pro-life right-wingers screaming at you for being a baby-murdering bitch and all that... if it was linked to depression and anxiety I wouldn't be surprised, but you know.

[edit] Reasons for abortion ?
Is this covered anywhere ? there are economic, social/cultural (sex selection), medical ( genetic /downs/drug) as well as personal choice. Hamster (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- Richard Dawkins recently caused controversy on Twitter by suggesting that aborting Down Syndrome foetuses is a 'humane moral choice', implying that it is inhumane to bring a DS person into the world (for unspecified reasons). Would this be worthy of inclusion? dawkins causing controversy for change Therealnessy (talk) 00:17, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
[edit] False Dichotomy
Am I the only one that thinks that the terms Pro-life and Pro-choice present a false dichotomy? For instance, I'm Pro-life in that I think abortions should be the last resort and if I was female I wouldn't have one, but I'm Pro-choice in that I think that I recognize it's not my decision. Greatnecro (talk) 15:37, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- You're not "pro-life" at all. You're 'pro-choice'. You feel that your choice would be not to have an abortion but that doesn't mean you're pro-life because you admit that it's a choice. It's a big, big mistake to think that pro-choice means that you don't "think abortions should be the last resort and if I was female I wouldn't have one".

- I wasn't implying that there was really a dichotomy. I was complaining about how the terminology implies one or the other. I think "Pro-life" should be renamed "Anti-choice". Greatnecro (talk) 18:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Just to clear things: Pro-choice doesn't mean apparently people who force anyone to have abortions or who always get an abortion. It is, i think, people who want humans in general to have the right to have a abortion if they deem it's needed and wanted in their situation. The strawman would be "forcing everyone to have an abortion, therefore causing the extinction of the human race". Imadmagician (talk) 08:32, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
