Here you go: [http://www.pregnantpause.org/lex/world02.htm](http://www.pregnantpause.org/lex/world02.htm) The Vatican, Nicaragua, Malta, Chile and El Salvador are the most restrictive- with no exceptions even for the life of the mother. Even Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen and Libya have that exception. Although- looking at it I see that theinformation for the UK isn’t accurate (there is no time limit on life of the mother or foetal abnormality, and almost all abortions are done on the grounds of damage to the mother’s mental health, so abortion on demand is effectively legal).

I am in no way deeply stupid, I merely hold views you don’t agree with. Which for some reason makes you irrationally angry, and rather childish. If that wasn’t such a common problem, it would be interesting. But your problem isn’t uncommon, and neither are your rants, so I’ve been unable to work up much interest in this. Way back pages ago I asked you why what other people do or don’t do makes you so upset and it took you those pages of childishness to admit that pretty much everything makes you mad. That’s boring.

This has what to do with anything? If you think it is an example of stupidity, you yourself have moved into ignorance. Depending on your age, it could even be willful ignorance. ---

Somehow the “I’m having enough of that shit with people in other threads to deal with it here, too” is now less compelling as an explanation for the demands on S-from-G’s time. ---

I had thought that you were merely a young adult who was the product of what far to often passes as parenting and schooling these days.

But maybe you really are the age that your posts indicate - 12? 14? If so, why aren’t you in school?? The same can be said about you, since you are gloating over pissing off someone you feel has the intellectual capacity of a child. You are obviously angry about someone showing what you consider to be stupidity. Either that, or you’re just an asshole. I’d rather have the child. ---

Since I was neither gloating, nor am I angry about anything, I’d say you need to read posts without whatever bias it is that you have. ---

I am posting without reading previous posts, therefore risking being repetitive - The only problem I have with this, “Pro-Lifers,” is that many that I come across have little knowledge of the subject, or any subject for that matter. In a blunt manner, many pro-life people I know are stupid - ignorant, maybe. They see the available sides, and choose pro life because, “Killing babies is bad.” These protestors are prime examples. ---

In a blunt manner, many pro-life people I know are stupid - ignorant, maybe. They see the available sides, and choose pro life because, “Killing babies is bad.” These protestors are prime examples. They do seem to have trouble with complex concepts as well as any idea that there might be more than one right answer to any given situation. ---

I feel about pro-lifers the way I feel about evangelicals trying to convert me. In the same way that I’m at least intellectually appreciative of someone who genuinely believes that they need to make me a Christian in order to prevent me from suffering an eternity of hell, I would expect that someone who believes that a fetus is ensouled and becomes a person at the moment of conception would view abortion as a terrible crime. In both cases, I think they’re morons starting from a flawed premise, but at least their hearts are in the right place. Now, obviously that sympathy (tolerance?) doesn’t extend to them being particularly annoying (especially to the extent of doing illegal things like physically restraining someone from entering a clinic).
