    There is a reason she no longer wants a baby and I want to know what it is. Carrying a fetus for nine months is not an easy feat, not like saying no to dessert but a bit like not going on a vacation you've been planning for a year. What's going on in her head?

    Regardless, should she be allowed to simply because she no longer wants a child?

    Is she going to cause an abortion no matter what anyone says?

    How would you not "allow" her?

    So you are in favor of allowing it. Wow is all I can say to that.

    Looks like you were dead on correct.

    Asking questions to clarify your question is not an admission though everybody knows that was your intention.

    Well, that's kind of what happens when you camp out on the middle ground. People just have to guess at what on earth you're trying to say.

    Actually, I'm just trying to get you to say what your position is on abortion.

    What's wrong with the middle ground?

    You would have to be with her 24/7 so she doesn't abort her fetus. "Allowing" is not even a word to be used in this situation. We allow our child to have a second helping of ice cream. We allow the dog to splash around in the creek. We allow our MIL to ... take over.

    Forget it. You're just too scared to make a decision, I guess.

    Nah. It's not me, it's you. You're smart enough to know where this is heading. If you approve of a nine month abortion, then you're a cold hearted person. If you don't think it should be allowed by law, then you're on the side of those you claim to disagree with, which would be those who, you say, advocate for controlling a woman's body. So realizing that, you try to be evasive and camp in the middle ground, also know as "no man's land". Honestly, I think you know what's right, but your liberal orthodoxy won't allow you to say it.

    I told you that when I first asked the question. "As to the whole "pro-choice" argument which appeals to the supposed right of a pregnant woman to control her own body, I can dispose of that with one simple question which I already know none of you will care to answer. Should a woman be able to have an abortion in her ninth month of pregnancy because she changed her mind and decided she did not want to have a child? And please don't come up with the evasive garbage. Do you think she should be allowed to do that?"

    The question is intended to reveal the truth. Not answering it is a way to conceal the truth.

    The real problem is that your question is poorly thought out. I would think someone with your education would have asked a much more thought-provoking question than one a playground bully would have asked.

    Have you ever heard of a woman who changed her mind during the ninth month of her pregnancy? If so, what was her reason? That certainly piques my curiosity!

    "...a playground bully..."! You sure got a way with words, WG.

    I know. It's always someone else's fault with you guys. It just has to be a poor question that you wouldn't answer? Well, I told you from the word go that you wouldn't do it. I knew it from the beginning. You just view it as too philosophically dangerous for you. It's always easier to simply not take a position and so have nothing to defend.

    Ask an honest question, please.

    There's no point in it. You've already demonstrated you won't answer one.

    I don't answer questions that aren't well thought out, and I prefer it when the questioner is honestly interested in my answer as a discussion starting point instead of doing a "ha! gotcha!"
