Fun With Abortion
My parents were livid with me tonight. Why? Because I said I was against abortion in most situations, and felt it would be best if the courts decided on whether abortions were acceptable on a case by case basis.

It annoys me. So much about the abortion debate is subjective. There are certain points in the debate that we cannot factually claim as truth. Yet people fight endlessly about it as though their side has actual real facts. Things like when life begins is completely subjective. I'm not saying one side is right or wrong, I'm just saying my opinion on the matter. And yet the family gets all pissy about it, b/c it's not what they believe.

Sorry?

What argument was I making? My opinion that a lot about abortion is subjective? I would love to know how you can prove my opinion on a matter wrong.

As for the court thing. I'm not saying I particularly like the idea of it being done in court. I happen to believe however, that a lot of abortions are unnecessary. I don't think it should be used as a form of birth control. To me, it's the more irresponsible method. I'm sure you have plenty of reasons/ways to counter this argument and more. I'd also be willing to wager that several of those arguments would wind up turning into subjective opinions as well.

'm entitled to my opinion. You're entitled to yours.
