Ireland is a civilised country except in this 1 area: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/119147/ireland-abortion-case-reveals-draconian-horror-catholic-law … You'd think the Roman Church would have lost all influence.

@RichardDawkins 994 human beings with Down's Syndrome deliberately killed before birth in England and Wales in 2012. Is that civilised?
Aidan McCourt
.@AidanMcCourt Yes, it is very civilised. These are fetuses, diagnosed before they have human feelings.

@RichardDawkins@AidanMcCourt The fetus of a pig is a pig; fetus of an elephant, elephant. Fetus of a human being not human? What is it then - View other replies

@StarTraveller@AidanMcCourt Learn to think in non-essentialist ways. The question is not "is it 'human'?" but "can it SUFFER?" - View other replies

@richarddawkins Can you give any reasons why one question or the other matters? -
@Roland_DeVries Yes. Suffering should be avoided. Cause no suffering. Reduce suffering wherever you can. - View other replies

@RichardDawkins@AidanMcCourt If an animal experiences "fear" is that a human feeling or a feeling? - View other replies

@jlangdale@AidanMcCourt Precisely my point. Unless you are a vegan (most Pro-"Lifers" are not) you are in no position to object to abortion - View other replies

@RichardDawkins@AidanMcCourt From a moral perspective, justifying the#abortion of a fetus seems to be based on arbitrary criteria. -
@JeffreyGuterman@RichardDawkins Neutral for the fetus, less suffering expected for the mother and the father. Hence not arbitrary. -

@Egoch@RichardDawkins That's a, not the, moral perspective about#abortion. I am able to see multiple views. - View other replies
