is this getting any play down in the states?

it's a big story on the CBC

Zika Virus Reignites Abortion Debate In Brazil

Women's fertility has always been a battleground. And while some are fighting to have a child here, others want to be able to terminate a pregnancy. In much of Latin America, abortion is illegal, and Brazil is no exception. There are only three cases in which termination is allowed here - rape, danger to the mother and a rare disorder where the child is unlikely to survive outside the womb. The pro-abortion movement hasn't been able to get much traction on the issue, and they're hoping the debate around the suspected cases of Zika-related microcephaly will change that. Debora Diniz is a law professor and activist. She and other pro-abortion groups are going to petition the Brazilian Supreme Court.

is abortion morally justified if the child is unable to survive outside the womb?

 

[musterion]

If they find it morally justifiable when a child IS able to survive outside the womb, it shouldn't make any difference.

Canada has an interesting perspective on this - while they are, generally, liberal and progressive, there are surprises

in New Brunswick and PEI, for example, although abortion is legal, it's virtually impossible to find a medical provider to do the procedure

No, you have the baby and try your best to save it.

in thehorn's wacky world, this would mean that the abortion rate in NB and PEI would increase :dizzy:

South America is a predominantly Catholic continent, especially Brazil.

I really don't expect the 'pro abortion' movement to get very far. But if it does then, well, there's nothing new under the sun I suppose.

If God wants another little angel after his or her birth, that's His decision.

Ironically, far more abortions happen there , the world's largest Catholic nation where it's officially illegal, than in America .
The Brazilian doesn't even pretend to enforce the law against abortion, because it CAN'T !!!!

I'd like to see the statistics on that, honestly. A ratio per area- Brazil is almost the size of America alone.



And, your logic fails.
Abortion legalization has always resulted in an extreme increase in abortions. So if they legalize it there.. it's supposed to go down?

 

[The Horn]

Crucible, legalizing abortion actually causes a DECREASE in abortions and a huge decrease in the rate of women dying from them.
Every time a country has made abortion illegal after it had been legal, the abortion rate has SKYROCKETED, as well as the rate of women dying or nearly perishing . These are facts which you can google for yourself . This has always been disastrously counterproductive .

No it doesn't ...

Okdoser, you can google statistics on how making abortion illegal causes a steep rise in them yourself on the internet .
It's an established fact . And how making it legal DECREASES the abortion rate .

you're making the retarded claim

it's on you to back it up

That's simply nonsense. Wherever you got that from, are being deceitful or at the very least ignorant of other factors.

Birth control has contributed heavily to a decrease in abortions, for example.
It makes no logical sense that legalizing abortion in and of itself would do anything besides raise the abortion rate. Half of abortions worldwide are medically done, and the vast majority of them would not induce their own abortion.
