Feb 10th, 2020 - 07:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Legalization won't push anyone to practice abortion. Women who want to do it, on the other hand, will be able to legally and safely access professional help. Legalization must of course go together with education, access to contraception and other measures to reduce the number of situations in which abortion is required, as much as possible.
Killing babies is wrong.

It takes a souless “progressive” to advocate the abortion of a healty unborn child. It is immoral, unethical and cannot be justified.

Kumpa is funny that you were 12 years in the government and only when you needed votes you did they realize this. Se lo pidio flor :)
Cuantas mujeres murieron en tus 12 años de gobierno por no ver este claro tema de salud publica. geniosdelvoto

There are cases that should be allowed and in theory they are allowed in Argentina and are not met

You know a pope who did not visit his country again. That gives you the idea of what most Argentines think about him.

Why do you talk about God on this subject?
Of course you're British, if you don't like it, you change it

Feb 12th, 2020 - 12:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Chicureo believes in god, that's why I said that. Also we are having a baby soon, so I worry about the many things that can go wrong.
In general I agree with Enrique, and abortion is already legal in the UK.

I take you support the legalization of abortion, only you wanted it done earlier. Well. Don't you think it's better if done now rather than never?

Feb 13th, 2020 - 03:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0congratulate you
My problem with this issue is with hypocrites as Enrique and his ideology was government for 12 years and only when they needed votes they talk about it.
How many women died in the 12 years that were governed by a topic they now say public health?
How is the law in uk on this subject?
Thanks Guillote. But what did you expect Enrique to do for the last 12 years? It's not like he was president or had any power.
Feb 14th, 2020 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It has already been said, but it won't hurt to say it once more:
Feb 15th, 2020 - 05:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Legalizing divorce does not force anyone to end a marriage.
Legalizing medically assisted death does not cause widespread euthanasia.
Legalizing cannabis use does not force anyone to smoke it.
In the same way, making abortion safe, legal and free of charge does not force any woman to end a pregnancy. It just reduces back alley coat-hanger procedures.
