Abortion vs Suicide (1 Viewer)

[timschochet]

I don’t want to prosecute anyone for attempting suicide. But at the same time it has to be against the law so that the authorities will try to stop it.

Whatever. I really don't care about your opinion anymore. 

Is this where I'm supposed to give you the middle finger?

Wow. Spock engages you in discussion, makes some very reasonable points, and this is your response?? 

Remind me again what the point of this thread was? Are you looking for real discussion, or simply trying to pursue an antiabortion line?

First, we already assisted suicide in some states. We also have suicide in every state for people who want it. You're trying to equate "death with dignity" with choosing to carry a fetus to full term. Death with dignity is more than just choosing to die. Its having the right to say enough when faced with a terminal illness. If you're trying to equate abortion with someone just giving up on life and seeking assistance to kill themselves, why do they need assistance? IOW, you're looking for "safe" suicide.

Do you think there's a need or demand for "safe" suicide?

ETA: I almost get the vibe that you're looking to create a "gotcha" moment for people who are pro-choice.  IMO, there is no case where abortion and suicide should be "well you're for one, why not the other?". Suicide does not require assistance.

He's still up two middle fingers to my one for the month. 

I think Spock is a big boy. He can fight his own battles.

What's the point of all the threads you start? I start one every few months. I don't believe it needs an explanation.

I think the poll validates my thoughts.
