Today I sat in a class discussion on abortion.
Two thoughts came to my mind -
1) Legalizing abortion will deter illegal or black market abortion (perhaps even by unqualified practitioners), which poses a health risk to the women involved. However, legalizing abortion does not mean that it becomes morally right. Legalizing betting will not stop some religious groups and individuals from resisting it.
2) Does the unborn foetus have any say regarding abortion? Do we accord the foetus any rights? When do we consider the foetus an individual? When its heart is formed? When its features are formed?

About Me
- Jack Tan
- I am secretly (and ashamedly) moved by sentimental literature. Classical music moves me and stirring orchestral music sends a chill down my spine and has the effect of making me stand up and pretend I'm a conductor. I am terribly choosy with my food but ironically I like to check out restaurants (albeit 'safe' ones). I like inane activities like window shopping, observing people and animals, taking long bus rides to nowhere and surfing the net. I have patience for others but none for myself. I am a good listener but I will never want counselling as my profession. My aim in life is to make God the centre of everything I do.
