It already IS legal in most states.

QLD and NSW are the only exceptions, from memory.

You should have done a bit more research.



Not sure about Qld but in NSW it's legal status is no impediment to having the procedure done.


I don't care what state or territory we're talking about, but I'm not going to tell a rape victim that she shouldn't have the legal right to have an abortion.



So your vote is “yes but only in certain circumstances.”

Thanks for playing, Greg.


Would you deny a rape victim the legal right to an abortion?

I'm curious.




No.


What about a woman who does it as a lifestyle choice?



Who does what as a lifestyle choice. Gets raped or has sex?


A healthy, wealthy woman - in her 20s - gets pregnant to her partner whom she loves and lives with.

The baby, however, will mean a disruption to her lifestyle: can't go out to parties; has to spend money on day care; will have some sleepless nights; sore nipples; etc.

Should she legally be able to have an abortion.

I think people ahould stay out of other peoples buisiness.
If you want an abortion then go have one.


Unfortunately sex is good...hence we enjoy it.
Society has made having kids difficult...especially for low wage earners. Better off not working but then we end up with enclaves of welfare crap.

Absolutely yes.

University studies and careers have been ruined because of the appearance of a pregnancy. Young ones trying to save a deposit on a home are shattered financially because of an unexpected baby soon to arrive. Mortgage payments become crippling because a baby arrives.

They’re funded, or partially funded, through Medicare.

If she paid for it100 percent that’s fine.  But I happen to believe the man has rights over that foetus too. It’s his as much as hers.

It's her who is going to carry the bub for 9 months, and it will be her who will be obliged to stick closely to the kid until it goes to school. The father's contribution will be through his wallet.
