A perspective on abortion

You're barking up the wrong tree if you want me to make value judgements based on numbers on your behalf. I support the women here who want to have rights that are similar to those women have in places like the UK and the US.

People will be able to continue to act according to their conscience on this issue then.

As a matter of interest, how late in the pregnancy would you condone an abortion in cases of rape and incest? It's not a 'gotcha' question. I actually don't believe I have ever asked a pro-life person this question before and I am curious.

Former President Reagan once said he was pro-life because no one knew when life began and he believed it was important to err on the side of life.

At the same time Reagan's philsophy of life was pretty cold in pragmatism.

Remember he said his philosophy was like two people running from a bear. One stops to put on sneakers. The other says, " You can't outrun that bear with those." To which he replies "I don't have to outrun the bear. I just have to outrun YOU."

Pro-life Mr. Reagan ? More like he wants everyone to be born. But after you're born ... ruthlessly "Me First! all the way."

After the first trimester, you would favour such abortions being illegal?

Are these abortions - which you condone as being justified - in cases of rape, incest or if the mother’s life is in jeopardy - are they "murder"?

@VLP1083

I’m not sure I agree with that assessment of Reagan.

Well, that's what he said. And he said it with one of his customary grins.

Welcome by the way.
