Don't be absurd, everything is an abortion debate. If its in front of a jury, you bet your ass it'll be an abortion debate.

That's because people are silly and women's body parts are property.

But it isn't an abortion debate.

This is the attitude that sickens me. I'm not a person ready to overturn Roe, but the idea that the unborn are just disposable disgusts me.

Also, while I have no intention of starting an abortion debate, I'll say whatever I damn well please about it. Thanks.

No one said you couldn't say whatever you damn well pleased.

If a woman wants to dispose of a fetus until a certain stage of its existence, that's her right. Just like men have certain rights around the world. If folks want to speak out against "murder" or "genocide," there are plenty of out-of-the-fetal-stage forms of it they can protest against. Girls and women are being victimized across the globe.

Until then, this woman's case isn't about the morality of abortion. As long as it's legal we can move on to the legal logistics of the case.

The judge would probably be able to set aside any jury verdict based on the defenses which will be raised. Also, I'm sure the judge will keep a very tight leash on plaintiff's counsel regarding discussions of the morality of abortion.

Of course, the door swings both ways -- the defense would be able to show the jury a picture of the baby the plaintiff wanted to abort and is now simply trying to turn into a pay day by suing the good doctor who is only fulfilling a need of society. The plaintiff will be portrayed as being just as morally culpable (if that discussion even occurs), not to mention litigious and only looking for a pay day.
