Fucking what now? The review of the Abortion Supervisory Committee (conducted under pressure from Right to Life NZ) has led Justice Forrest Miller to say that the legality of many abortions in NZ is questionable.

Fucking christ. I'm giving money to Women's National Abortion Campaign right now. This is such a big deal, people. D: D: D:

Are you saying we should criminalise homosexuality just because it's morally offensive to some people?

And no, because see, paedophilia hurts a child. The foetus(/embryo/blastocyst, thank you, smartypants) hurts the mother. You're saying "we should hurt X, who is not me, because we think Y." Laws against stealing, murder, and paedophilia are written "we should prevent X from hurting Y, who may be me." That is to say, stealing, murder, and paedophilia are crimes we may all be victim of (I mean, the latter has an expiry date on our susceptibility to it.) You can frame the abortion debate that way but it is misguided.

I'm too old to be a victim of paedophilia. I'm also too old to be aborted. I can't be person Y.


And i have no problem with abortion before differentiaton. Simply because, if a group of cells can be split into 2 (4,6,8) live beings, than i can't call them humanly alive. They are simply the things which give rise to human life (in the same way that eggs and sperm do).
