> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mangetout \* > \*\*Just out of interest (and I don’t really want to turn this thread into a poll), does anyone feel that abortion is somehow worse because the foetus is dismembered during the process (i.e. would it be better/more acceptable if it was removed intact)? If so, why? \*\* Nope, not at all. But I’m sure many won’t agree. People don’t like ugly, icky things. They just don’t. As I mentioned before, if these protesters held pics of miscarried babies they’d be just as horrendous but wouldn’t lead me to advocate penalties against mothers who’ve miscarried. ---

For a history of state abortion laws, see: [http://members.aol.com/abtrbng/abortl.htm](http://members.aol.com/abtrbng/abortl.htm) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/photos-of-aborted-babies/116882.md?page=2)
