What? That is just sick. So you think that a woman should be able to damage her baby in the womb for life, and not get any punishment? It is one of the worst cases of child abuse. And the stars you got..edit on 22/2/11 by Maslo because: (no reason given)

Yes, thanks. I'm still not clear on if you mean it needs to change through legislation or not.
What some woman does to herself and her offspring is none of my business or concern unless they are under my care.

According to your logic, child abuse is OK when done by parents. Explain, please.

I think most would agree that this would be limited to the rare "asocials" and would more than likely be taken care of by peer, family, medical, and societal pressures anyway. In my opinion, attempting to legislate something like this is way over the line. Talk about dumbing down society.
It's not my place to interfere, unless the child is under my care.

Yes, it is horrible when a child is abused or disabled by the actions of their parents. It is terrible when people kill each other. It is awful when people rape and pillage one another.
The sad thing is that this is part of what humans are.
WELL I AGREE...yes let's figure out what is causing ALL these miscarriages! I would like a FULL chemical analysis for poisons and especially weedkillers from the blood of mothers and fetuses. What the Government has neglected to mention is that they routinely spray weedlkillers all along the interstates, public roads and streets, parks, National Parks...heck even neighbors are spraying Roundup like there is no tomorrow....these chemicals CAN cause miscarriages and DO!

Then change them all because the same logic would apply. This idiot singled out rape victims, stalking victims, and clearly shows both is ideology and misogyny.
Well in most cases the victimization is already established so it makes sense to refer to them as victims, and when it isn't already established they are often referred to as "alleged victims."
Rape is a unique case because it often hinges upon whether the accuser was in fact a victim or not, constantly referring to a "victim" is obviously prejudicial. If someone gets beat up it's pretty easy to establish that they were in fact a victim etc. etc.
False allegations in rape cases are a very serious problem.edit on 22-2-2011 by SevenBeans because: (no reason given)

You're right. I think oral sex is already illegal here in GA, but I don't think anyone's been arrested for that in a while.
And right on the cancer, too. Oral sex is leading cause of increasing U.S. cancer rates, compared to tobacco use in other nations
But he's probably not too worried about that. Sounds like he might have goats.

Do you consider it a problem that most rapes are never reported because the people are too traumatized by the system to dare? Is that a problem for you, or is that just dandy?

Do you want to make an exception to murders of the offspring by their parents, or exception to law against irreversily damaging their health after birth? These things will always happen too, so should we make them legal? If no, why the double standard?
