And a father's. A person's rights over their own body is a mantra with limits, but those limits are not recognised by the mantra thinkers. Of course a woman has rights over her own body but it takes two people to make a baby. The father in our society has no rights at all over whether the baby lives or dies, but he is loaded with the responsibility for its upkeep if it lives. His rights are trodden on. The baby also has rights. Nature has given a responsibility to women to carry a baby to term. It is a privilege. It is not simply wiped away by her 'rights' to kill it. Her 'rights' do not overcome her responsibilities.<br /><br />But the primary concern here is for the baby. It is about the baby. The baby is dependent on the adults being responsible. Not on their 'rights'.<br /><br />A woman's 'rights'. 10. A fathers rights. 0. A baby's rights 0.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-81804201664920032192014-06-14T08:24:54.336+10:002014-06-14T08:24:54.336+10:00A very good article.

Actually, what your article highlights is the conscious decisions made to hide this from conscious thought. A National disgrace.<br />As someone who considers himself a free thinking person, who espouses libertarian values I do respect the rights on women to control their own bodies - men don't have to bring a baby to term, women do. I do however believe it's an issue of ethics and societal values to support and promote motherhood and promote the valuing of life, widely in public media. Something that I don't see being done with regard to this topic.Free Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07793301216294551784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-44119786942452744412014-06-10T19:15:51.755+10:002014-06-10T19:15:51.755+10:00In a world which sometimes becomes a Vale of Tears...In a world which sometimes becomes a Vale of Tears, we have to take our tragedies and work our way through them. But we see tragedy as an accident of life. With abortion we see a deliberate, engineered tragedy, passed off as 'women's rights'.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-57441035164160070102014-06-10T18:56:41.026+10:002014-06-10T18:56:41.026+10:00Tragic loss of lives and harm done to women so nee...Tragic loss of lives and harm done to women so needlessly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-35595973218748461062014-06-10T15:15:31.951+10:002014-06-10T15:15:31.951+10:00Not chilling only because of the high number but a...Not chilling only because of the high number but also because it is DELIBERATE killing.
