You're talking in hypotheticals about a person who has never existed and, in an ideal world without recreational sex, would not even have the possibility of existing.<br /><br />Teagan has a life. She's been living 19 years. She isn't ready for motherhood but she has hopes, dreams, loves and goals.<br /><br />Your "child" is a hypothetical cluster of cells which might (depending on its stage of development) in some ways resemble a human infant, but has never lived, has never loved, and has nothing at all to lose.<br /><br />Please respect that which is, over and above that which isn't and shouldn't be.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624532724820814499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318555789256685094.post-55268392135862652032010-10-12T12:43:25.054+11:002010-10-12T12:43:25.054+11:00What child? It is not a child, it is not an infant...What child? It is not a child, it is not an infant, it isn’t even a fœtus at this stage. It has the potential to become a child, if given very specific conditions — but so does an unfertilised ovum. Is menstruation also murder? Is every sperm sacred?<br /><br />Children have rights, by virtue of being independent persons. Embryos do not, because they are not.<br /><br />I refer you to my post on <a href="http://watchingtheaeroplanes.blogspot.com/2010/09/parent-licence.html" rel="nofollow">the Parent Licence</a>. If a child is not going to be adequately cared for, it is irresponsible to bring it into existence.Oolon Colluphidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02551248140000240712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318555789256685094.post-6372219557320665362010-10-12T12:40:43.791+11:002010-10-12T12:40:43.791+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Oolon Colluphidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02551248140000240712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318555789256685094.post-63923710201653213692010-10-12T12:33:20.533+11:002010-10-12T12:33:20.533+11:00What about the child's rights?

There is no such thing as safe sex, if you take the risk, take the consequence. To those who have a child after sexual assault - my heart goes out to you, and I cannot even begin to comprehend what you are going through. But to snuff out a human life.. surely there are other choices..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
