• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Abortion

    For me, if souls exist, I'd think it should be deemed the point at which the neural circuits are powered up, because presumably at that point something can think and feel, at least to a degree. It was a freaking novel, but I finally got around to it. (I didn't want to respond until I had.) And...

    Abortion

    Abortion

    :/ "anti" is not deliberately negative, but "anti- *insert something universally accepted as good here*" is. We were, and I know, but I was talking about abortion itself in the first part of my first post; I mean I'm kinda looking for a bit of discussion on that area as well. I would argue...

    Abortion

    Yeah, I would probably consider "pro-abortion" and "anti-choice" as roughly equal in terms of emotional appeal. And although "anti-choice" might be correct regarding this specific issue, it seems to me like a deliberately negative way of looking at a viewpoint. Save for the case in which the...

    Abortion

    My opinion is that abortion is fine up until neurological functioning begins (somewhere between 9 and 16 weeks). Plus of course other gray areas can be considered. You can always put it up for adoption. And I know there's the issue of not wanting people to know you are pregnant, but I just don't...
