G'day Terry, Thanks for drawing attention to this. You may recall that I affirm that "the body of flesh inside the womb" is indeed human life but not a human life in the sense of a human person. Edward Smith sets up his own Aunt Sally to knock down. I believe that abortion should be taken out of the ethics area and moved to medical health. Medicos are responsible people and I know that in their training they have to debate obstetric situations. Cheers Peter Peter;
I don't suppose that we will ever agree. I believe that any person , doctor or otherwise, who performs an abortion for any reason, is a murderer, and should die by the same means used to murder the infant. Murder of the most innocent as a way of making money deserves no less.
