Some more thoughts on this issue, from the in-all-other-ways-evil Capitalist Magazine.

So, what do y'all think?

Nothing there I hadn't read before, and a lot of cliches actually. (I guess, being a member of [livejournal.com profile] abortiondebate I've read a lot of this stuff already.

It also fails to mention that not only does the unwilling mother suffer, the child does as well. How are THEIR lives going to pan out being born to mothers who do not want them, do not love them and probably cannot support them properly? At least TWO people lose when a woman is forced to have a child she does not want.

Of course, this article and its reasoning are refracted through the capitalist lens, so must be taken with at least a grain of salt. Their dismissal of the rights and potential suffering of the child in the case of abortion is akin to their dismissal of the rights and potential suffering of non-human animals in other situations. Their key point is individual, specifically human individual, rights. Oh, and don't forget marketing - any results obtained from stem cell research can, of course, be patented and sold for a handsome profit in a capitalist world...
