Note: This issue is sensitive yet I feel that there's no reason it shouldn't be discussed unless anyone feels directly uncomfortable with it. Of course, it's up to the team to decide but if everyone behaves according to forum guidelines, I can't see a problem in healthy debating so I'm gonna make the thread in the hope that it doesn't dissolve into anything negative anyway. Also, I'm not going to add a poll, as I feel sometimes it can be better to explain your opinions rather than just state them.
Ok, so I'm just wondering what the members of TowersStreet feel on the subject of 'abortion'. In order to prevent any confusion from the beginning, here's the dictionary definition:
Abortion: The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy.
Do you agree that abortion is a process that should be available to everyone in the UK? The current laws state that abortions are allowed for women up until 24 weeks, but for me, this makes little sense. Surely, the point where life begins is either fertilization/conception or the actual birth? Why does the act become a step below murder after 24 weeks, except in certain circumstances?
It's an issue that is prominent in today's society and it's an issue that confuses me, so I just wanted to hear what everyone had to say about it.
