Hello Platt,
Platt:
Individual freedom yes, with individual responsibility for the results of
one's actions.

Platt:
People here can try to tell others here how to behave, but I doubt it will
have any effect. But, general moral issues such as abortion, war or the
proper role of government seem to me to be legitimate subjects for
discussion. After all, Lila is billed as An Inquiry into Morals. So let's
continue the inquiry.
Ron;
Then by all means lets get the ball rolling, I feel it is every womens right to
a safe
legal abortion if she so chooses, however I do feel some stipulations would
apply
such as counciling on the alternatives, parental consent below the age of 18 and
counciling on the consequences of taking such action, also I think limiting it
to
the first tri-mester has some ethical considerations to discuss, but since I am
not a woman and I am not pregnant, I have little to base my opinions on. If I
was
irresponsible enough to have concieved with someone who does not feel the same
as I do
about the topic and situation, I feel the fact remains that it is she who is
the one carring
our baby to term and the responsibility and choice remains with her.
