But if you Do drive, you accept the risk that something might go wrong, and you might hit a pedestrian, another vehicle or even a stationary object.

If somebody can afford to both go to university and raise a child, then they're hardly the most disadvantaged group in society. I'd suggest that it's the poor students who subsidise the less fortunate students who are in greater need of subsidy.

I say it's murder, because it's the taking of life from another. Some reasons are more valid than others. And no matter how much you disagree with me, the welfare of the child should be paramount. Society has a responsibility to speak for, and protect those who cannot speak for themselves...

I love that idea. They have fresh fruit throughout the city that they buy nice and early at Flemington - they could make a big profit through it.

They do when they get crushed after the travelling, the throwing down of bag and the other daily wear.

I don't disagree. I do believe that more needs to be done for women after the decision has been made though.

There's an ice cream truck driver who until recently has haunted my local area, playing an off key rendition of "Those Were The Days". I went to approach him about the noise, but when I saw his face I wasn't so much concerned about the noise than the fact that he looked like a paedophile.

I believe in counseling, both before and after an abortion. I'm not advocating that said counseling should be completely pro-life, but rather fair and balanced. And society's responsibility doesn't end at abortion or birth - counseling should be available for both mother and father after the fact.

Damn right I will.

This is, for all intents and purposes, my stance on the issue. Unlike consentual sex, rape does not indicate consent to the responsibilities of childbearing. It is not just a question of whether the unborn child has a right to life, but more importantly a question of quality of life - and if...

That is, frankly, none of your business. I mean seriously, do you people have NO modesty whatsoever?

No, because the statement is perfectly fine. I'm not changing it, retracting it or apologising for it. If a woman doesn't want a baby, she can keep her legs closed. And if a man doesn't want a baby, then he can keep his pants on.

I believe in the responsibility of both the father and the mother. Of course, in some cases it's hard to tell who the father is, but once that responsibility has been established, the father and the mother must both equally share the responsibility of child raising, or equally decide on allowing...

If I recall the Abbott situation correctly, he didn't know about the pregnancy in the first place. And kissing a guy, or getting up in the morning do NOT count as acts leading to the creation of a child, otherwise all of us would be proud parents several thousand times over by now. That's a shit...

I think a woman took responsibility for the unborn child the moment she decided to engage in the acts which lead to the creation of the child. That's a responsibility that I do not believe a woman should be able to just shirk.

I don't.

And a part of me is disgusted that you feel that way. These people may disagree with you, but their intentions are AS good, if not BETTER than yours. They are trying to save lives, whether or not you see the unborn children as lives.

I remember when the Socialist Alternative were up in arms about one of their members being brought before court to face charges of violence against students and violence against police officers. I asked them what made their violence any different to the violence they say is used against them -...

Bringing your own food to uni is only really feasible if you live reasonably close to uni. I sure as hell have enough difficulties carrying my equipment to uni every day, without adding food and stuff like that to it. But at the same time, it's not feasible to eat Union food every day. As I said...

But at least we won't be accessories to the fact. That alone will make me feel much Much better about it.
