This is to Extremely Extreme Extremist:
As far as abortion is concerned here is my views and I expect that you will be an open-minded adult because some things I might say may offend you and that is not my intent, so I apologize in advance if I do.
I don’t think that abortions should take place after a certain point in the pregnancy like say the second or third trimester for example. I do feel however that a woman should have the option in the first trimester to have an abortion if she wants to. Why?
1. From a secularist point of view religion shouldn’t be shoving their beliefs down someone else’s throat (It’s un-American). If the woman was agnostic or atheist an Orthodox-Catholic for example has no right claiming its an abomination to God or some other silly dogmatic claim.
2. Woman have abortions every month if you get my drift.
3. The woman would have to make a decision before the second trimester whether she was going to abort or not. By then should would be legally obligated to term and have 2 options:
1. Keep her child or 2. give him/her up for adoption.
Simple right? It’s a compromise for both sides. We need to have compromises and agree that it can’t always be my way or the highway mentality.
I say these things in response to your post because I feel you have contradicted yourself. You say people shouldn’t be trying to control what other people do but then you don’t like abortion. I’m just saying that there is a reasonable and logical compromise that can be had with anything we have problems we have today, its just that people have to be willing to do so.
Its not a perfect world and never will be. We need to stop acting like it is come off our high horses and make changes that benefit us all and not just one side or the other.
Abortion in 1st trimester OK but not 2nd or 3rd...Is that a fair compromise? Its not your decision or your business for the person that is making a choice in her life.

Should children be sex slaves? Should people have the legal right to marry farm animals?
I'm just wondering what dividing line (if any) you would draw on those practices and if the guiding principle is more than "gross!"
