The rights of a woman.

Having an abortion is not dealing with it. It is a way out of something that you started, but do not want to finish.

This is the essence of the argument, rat, and if you want to define "dealing with it" in only the way you think it should mean, then it seems rather clear that you aren't interested in listening to anyone else.I don't think such a debate would be enlightening to anyone.Edited by AdminSchraf, : fixed spelling

Your post is filled with unsupported claims that you are treating as if they are self-evident truths.

People have rights to privacy, rights to protection, and many other rights, that make perfect sense to me. I don't see how being allowed to create life, and abort it is a right. I see it as a quick fix for a bad decision. (not even a mistake).

Is the bolded portion the issue you would like to discuss?

Does a healthy woman have the right to knowingly engage in sexual intercourse, which has the sole purpose of reproduction, but terminate the reproductive process (healthy pregnancy) once it has begun? If yes, what gives her this right?

If the goal with this topic is to begin with a premise that all/most can live with, I suggest making another change."...which has the sole purpose of reproduction" is not a facually accurate statement, although many people hold it as a religious tenet.

Participants can make their case in the discussion if they disagree with the statement.

Well, that's why I am asking if it is important that the OP be a statement that everybody is likely to be able to live with.I'm not sure yet another abortion thread that does not progress beyond disagreement over initial premises is useful.
