the baby (translate the word in your mind if you must)
We all know why you keep saying 'baby'. It's emotional manipulation; we get it. Trust me, we've all heard this Not-So-Subtle Weaselling routine before.

Patronising or what?
Don't worry Rich, we're used to it. :)
I liked the bit about how they always put Helen Clark at the top of the 'power list' <hurl>, so they can't possibly be biased. 'Some of my best friends are Labour voters!'

Now its basically down to Brian Easton...
What, no love for Diana Wichtel?

nothing I have said might possibly be construed as any form of attack on another person
I cannot fully express the contempt I have for this disingenuous bullshit.

Oh, oh, sorry Russell. Get rid of the one of mine which quotes it, too. :)

Heh. I want equal rights for all adult human beings regardless of gender, which means I must be 'sexist'. Honestly Mark, are you getting this from the Trolling the Feminazis 101 course you did, or what?
You don't get my point, which I'm sure is deliberate on your part: I'm talking about a really broad gender-based historical context for reproductive rights, and you're talking about... four dudes you know. Where do you suggest we go from here?

as we move away from sex rules set down by a jewish hill tribe thousands of years [ago]
Abortion really only became criminalised in the nineteenth century, with the professionalisation of medicine. I imagine the process was a little like what this thread has become - a bunch of middle-class guys arguing about what women's bodies are for. ;) (I'm kidding. At least, I'm kidding about the guys on the side of choice. Fight the good fight, comrades!)

Parents are destroyed by the loss of their baby
No. *Would-be* parents are upset by the loss of their *potential* baby.

I'm not sure why that's a 'fatuous argument', Shep. If there are so many men clamouring to have these foetuses carried to term and delivered, let our wondrous scientific community sort it out! Then we can stop arguing and those dudes can have at it. Let the new era of seahorse-type-reproduction begin!
