I just want to add, totally out of context, because
a) I haven't been posting for a long time and I won't be in the forseeable future
a) I haven't read the discussion
but I just have to:
Some idiots in my country want to amend the constitution to add words that human life is protected "from the moment od conception".
Well if its human life its human life. If were going to protect it at 12 months after conception, it should be protected 2 weeks after conception. Or at the very minimum, people should just acknowledge their terminating a human life.
Also, equally out of Some guys, I believe authors of "freakonomy" argued that the decrease of crime in NEw York in the 90 is caused by the freely available abortion in earlier years. THose who could have been born in pathological families, like drunks, teenage mothers, thieves, very poor people, who are potentially hight risk of becoming criminals just WEREN'T BORN at all, so they weren't able to disrupt the society.
Well if that’s the case, I think it should be open season on all crack heads, thieves, and rowdy teenagers. I bet the crime rate in NY would plummet if we were aloud to pick of all the baddies before they did anything else wrong.
Now, abortion in Poland was virtually banned in mid nineties. I believe those guys who shouldn't have been born now roam freely. And Poland is shocked by a case of 14-year- olds who grabbed their classmate, a girl, IN FRONT of a class, stripped her and simulated rape. The girl commited suicide. And what is worst, most people in that age group just don't understand what happened.
So lets legalize abortion because some kids in Poland are retards. Great Idea. Where do I sign.
