Well, abortion isn't meant to be a population control device, specifically. It's simply meant for terminating an unwanted pregnancy. There are far......faster?.... ways of controlling the population, although they decrease in morality the faster you get.

One of the situations in which I think abortion is appropriate, is if the child will have a poor quality of life. If the mother of the child will not be able to look after the child, such as if she was a very young mother.

I agree with all the other examples you gave except for this one, why was it ok for the young person to have unprotected sex knowing that they could not provide for the baby hence creating life only to terminate it. Allowing abortions in this case is like rewarding stupidity. This is in terms of the UK of course, in other countries where contraception is not readily available then abortions are ok.

You can get contraception free from the clinic in the UK so there's little excuse. Also you have to define what is deemed a poor quality of life that it would be better not to live?

I will give you a poor condition of life (out of a situation I conjured out of my sick and twisted mind)

The parents do not care about the child whatsoever. The child is forced into cooking dinner, and is not allowed to eat except for a few crumbs off of the stove. The child has only two pairs of clothes while the parents have a full dresser full of clothes.

Basically, if the parents don't take care of them at all it is best to have a abortion to prevent a tortured soul, I suppose.

I agree but is it fair for these so called parent to continue creating numerous lives just to abort them. It's not the unborn/undeveloped child's fault that these parents are sick. Why is it fair to deny the child life because of substandard parents?

They say that its better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Can't the same thing be said about life? Better to have a crap one than no to have one at all?

Ok, so you think allowing teens to abort because of stupidity rewards stupidity? Think about the kid, bro. How do you think the kid's life would be being raised by an immature teenager?

And furthermore, you say why should they be allowed to create multiple lives just to abort them. as long as they abort them before we can consider them human, there's no issue.

That is if they DO raise them, adoption is always an option.

Alright, new topic.

Sonic vs. Mario

Who wins?

To your first question, their life might not be glitzy for sure but like I said before kids grow up in war torn countries and in starvation everyday. There is support out there for teenagers in the UK at least. The teenagers who get pregnant should toughen up and take care of what they created. Is it alright for me to not neuter my cat so that she has lots of kittens and then drown them? No it isn't.

To your second question, that brings up a whole different debate about when should we consider them to be human. When the egg is fertilised? When it starts to grow discernible features? Catholics believe a baby gets a soul at conception.

Finally to the new debate, (quite a light choice after what we've just been discussing SDY XD ), If you are saying who would win in a battle then I would say Sonic, Mario would be too slow for him. if you're saying who has the better games then I would say Mario, some Sonic games have almost brought me to tears with how crap they have been.

I'm going to agree with EK on this one. Mario has way better games but Sonic is way faster than him so he could just beat him down and run away.

[Bill Cipher]

Mario. He'd win just because of the raw number of power ups he could use.

Mario is friends with the coolest dinosaur ever. Therefore, Mario wins.

Winning by afiliation

Mario can't fight without Yoshi therefore he loses

Also about the power ups, what if it was a straight up up fight no extra powers?

Then Mario would most likely lose

Im pretty sure sonic would win. Hes just so fast.

Mario won't have enough time to even get a punch in XD

Well if Mario could use power-ups, then Mario would use his star to catch up to him.

[Elric]

but your arguement is invalid because we are talking about without powerups

[GeneralCraezy]

well its OBVIOUSLY mario, cuz his awesomeness would just stun sonic into paralysis!! MARIO WILL PWN!!!!!

[Brian6330]

Well if Mario could use power-ups, then Mario would use his star to catch up to him.

IF Mario would use power-ups then Sonic could use the Chaos emeralds and pawn Mario in 5 seconds.

Anyways, we're talking without powerups...
