How can abortion be "repugnant" at the same time as it is a "right of humanity" I'm not all that keen on splitting someone open and strewing their guts around the table just to find the appendix, but that is a right too, and a very necessary one. Once again, a vivid description is not an argument. TP

<<"safeguard the rights of humanity and to help our planet become civilized.">> "That's a rosy picture of infanticide." What do rights and civilized humanity have to do with infanticide? Sorry...I don't get it? "How can abortion be "repugnant" at the same time as it is a "right of humanity" and the path to higher civilization? Isn't that contradictory?" Maybe you are reading too slowly? What I said was: "abortion is a rather repugnant means of birth control." The right to ones own body is indeed a path to a higher civilization. Do you remark no difference between the Dark Ages and modern day America--where people are presumed to have certain rights irrespective of birth, learning, caste, or religion??
