Snipped Yes, I accept that would have probably been more accurate. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh so wrong. Being 'religious' does not prevent women seeking abortions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altus rightly corrected me on that. I should have put 'less likely' 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholicism, for example, forbids both contraception and abortion but plenty of catholics use contraception and get abortions. Abortion isn't even forbidden by many religions/denominations but some members of those religions/denominations protest against abortions. People can be guided by their faith but that doesn't necessarily mean they agree with everything their faith teaches. Also, some atheists are against abortion.The well known atheist Christopher Hitchens was one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 A number of years ago I knew someone who worked as a midwife in Saudia Arabia. She said there was strict religious rules on alcohol but allowed abortion if the baby was the wrong gender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Abortion is hugely controversial, and so it should be. I'm a cowardly fence sitter on this one. I believe women should have dominion over there own bodies, but God has dominion over life. And at what stage does a foetus become life? Some say from the moment of conception however abortion is allowed until 24, 26, or 28 weeks. Don't know which any more because it keeps changing. All things considered I suppose it has to be a personal choice between the woman and her God/ Conscience. I'm so so glad I have never had to make such a choice, though I've come close. However I would like to think that in a time when excellent free contraception is available, people would act more responsibly and realise the enormity of having to make such an awful decision.

Availability reduces responsibility perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contraception is not always 100 % effective and then there is the issue of forced sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungleboy69 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I don't believe in God at all and believe that women hold all the cards when it comes to all things regarding abortion. I never wanted kids and had a vasectomy at 27 paying for it privately before any kids. I've never really understood why anyone would want kids in such a rubbish world... contraception is a great thing but is never foolproof. If I were in charge I'd ban procreation and let the human race die off slowly over the next century or so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
