The UAFC

Corbyn spoke well on the Brexit question today. A measured delivery which acknowledged the problems with the EU while stating the bloomin obvious situation that we are stuck with it. Like any marriage where the babe you married decades ago has turned into an cantankerous old ratbag of a harridan an...

LOL.

"For a women to go through all that to then give up a baby for adoption would be horrifically difficult, the pro-lifers choose to ignore that", that's just a no brainer ..................as in people who see that as an alternative to abortion have no brains. >EW It is an alternative - peo...

Still not moved by anyone's case for anything but the current 24 week rule in the UK............... but then I doubt too many minds will be changed here. Aye, but it's been good discussion though.

I'm nearly sure a heartbeat can't be picked up in a foetus until around the 9 week mark so this notion of life right from conception is flawed too. Hold on a sec. Is it a life as soon as a heartbeat exists? Is it a life as soon as a heartbeat can be detected with our current technology? Is a heartb...

the argument about "viability" is a spurious one. Not to mention a terrible concept. Just playing Devil's advocate. By all reports Michael Schumacher is incapable of surviving on his own, but he is supported and nurtured by his family, a team of medics and probably some fancy equipment. I...

And some fine ones there are too Rocky, however I have one problem with the bit that approximates to "if you can't take care not to get pregnant then carry the child. I am as gay as the next man but a woman I am not, but I cannot get my head around the thinking that in some shape or form, no m...

Another thing. A good chunk of pro-lifers (that I have encountered) consider life to begin at conception. This isn't a post to dispute the rights or wrongs of that. Of these people, nearly all of them would be conservative Christians (of one persuasion or another). And in general they would profess ...

I totally agree that judgement of others - even with an awareness of the situation - is wrong.

The contention that what a woman does with her body is no one else's business is popular in these discussions. And largely I agree. In general terms I support the right of people to have freedom, where it doesn't impinge upon the quality of life of others. You should be free to play the guitar with ...

Hendi played No 8 very effectively, for BRA when they reached the Schools' Cup final maybe there's a temporary answer. As long as his body holds up. I have thought for a fair while that Hendy should be playing 8, but having said that your post is as daft as a daft thing. The fact that he played 8 s...

The notion that the foetus is not yet a person, until it is capable of independent life is compelling. It is not without its difficulties, but it is thought provoking. I think the pro-choice argument probably hinges on the rejection of a foetus under 24 weeks as an independent being. And 24 weeks do...

Let me set out my background and reasons as to why my opinion should be more respected than the next man's: . Now that's out of the way, it's something that's been referred to recently without being overtly discussed here. There are people involved in the 'public' discussion who'd probably be better...

Some points have to be made. Even at the expense of getting an answer to the question.
