A woman in another country who has cancer is being refused treatment due to being pregnant. They allow abortions never no matter what.
I'm pro-life, but I've always said if the mother is in danger then it gives more to think about. HOWEVER, notice it says the cancer has spread to her brain and a lot of other areas. I think they're exaggerating by acting like she would definitely have her life saved if it's spread all over like that! Seems to me both would die.
If men could get pregnant I'm sure everyone would say it's horrible and selfish to choose his own life over the baby anyway.

This is a tough issue. First of all chemical cancer treatments are extremely toxic, so the baby would probably be born deformed or dead. So knowing this I would say let her abort and give her the cancer treatments, if she wants them. But the flip side, is if the cancer has spread that much, she is probably dead already regardless. So it is a tough call...but ultimately HER call to make...not the govt or doctor or anyone else to make.

"The case concerns a 27-year-old woman known as Amalia (not her real name) who has cancer that is suspected to have spread to her brain, lungs and breasts. But Nicaraguan authorities have withheld life-saving treatment from her because it could harm the fetus and violate the country's total ban on abortion.
The decision has ignited furious protests from relatives and campaigners who say that Amalia -- who has a 10-year-old daughter and is 10 weeks pregnant -- will die unless treated."
That's sad.

You mean they DO NOT allow abortions.
"Nicaragua has one of the most draconian abortion laws in the world. It is one of the few countries to prohibit abortion under any circumstances. Girls and women who seek an abortion -- as well as health professionals who provide health services associated with abortion -- face jail.
Needless to say, these restrictions have taken their toll. According to official figures, 33 girls and women died in pregnancy in 2009; the year before, 20 died. Amnesty International believes these figures are only a minimum, as the government itself has acknowledged that the number of maternal deaths is under-recorded.
Oh, and it gets worse. According to a survey of media reports between 2005 and 2007, 1,247 girls were reported in newspapers to have been raped or to been the victims of incest in Nicaragua. Of these crimes, 198 were reported to have resulted in pregnancy. The overwhelming majority of the girls made pregnant as a result (172 of them) were between 10 and 14 years old."

I said they allow them never. I just worded it oddly.
I don't know what I exactly feel in thissituation, but in normal circumstances I believe it's BS for women to be allowed to make a decision on murdering. In this case maybe it should be her decision, but like I said if a man ever chooses HIS life over someone else's he's said to be a horrible, selfish person.

If a woman chooses to abort a child...that is between her conscience and her God and it's no one else's business.

Then as others say... she should be able to kill her child after it's born and an adult and any other time if she supposedly owns it.

I believe in limited abortion. Rape, incest and rare cases where the mothers life's in danger. Abortion for birth control is wrong. Amnesty International isn't any better than our corrupt idiotic biased media. I give them a zero credibility rating.

That was idiotic! I know there are those that think the fetus should trump all. They NEVER seem to think about the ramifications of the death of the mother, because they don't give a damn. To them, this WOMAN is nothing more than an incubator, and mostly for their agenda, as they have proven they don't really care about the quality of life for the child. IF men could get pregnant, abortions would be as easy to get as vitamins. Face it, more often the man runs from his responsibility, which is why more women are running single parent households.

Best one to operate #
Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on.
The first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.'
The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.'
The third surgeon says, 'No, I really think Librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.'
The fourth surgeon chimes in, 'You know I like Construction Workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.'
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts - the mouth and the arsehole - and they are interchangeable'.
Cheers, BB
They just love being in charge of other[s destiny. BB

In some male dominated countries...especially the Latino ones, if a wife cheats on her husband, he has the right to shoot her and nothing will be said about it. He will not be charged with murder.
Interestingly enough...if he cheats on her...nothing will be done about it. She is powerless to do anything. If she shoots him....she is charged with murder.

Are you serious with that response? There are more women in this country than men. That's why they changed the phrase to "minorities and women", because they couldn't include women into the term "minorities" anymore.
And you completely missed the point as usual. The Politically Correct Death Squad, when speaking of abortion, always talks about everyone involved except the father. The father, according to the Death Squad, has zero rights.
You said that is it between the woman's conscience and her God and that it was no one else's business. That's a bunch of horseshit and you should know it, because the same woman will most certainly make it the father's business if she decides to keep the child; at least his wallet if nothing else.
The whole subject is pure bullshit and it's about time the Death Squad starts dealing in truth. You can't say that the father has zero rights if the woman wants to kill the child and then hold him responsible if she wants to keep the child. There is a huge disconnect there that needs to be fixed.
And before you all start going off on your holier than thou Progressive tirades, I don't give a shit if a woman wants to kill her baby. I'm interested in the equal distribution of rights in the scenarios. Obviously the Death Squad is not.

Because if there's a fire and some random man hears screaming in the house you think anyone's going to say anything OTHER than he was selfish if he doesn't risk his life to go save the person? That's how I know it's different for men. And the whole women and children before men thinking. If someone wants to do for others ahead of himself that is commendable, but to look down on men if they choose their own life and then say it's all great for a woman to choose ehr own over her future kid's... there just shouldn't be those double standards.
To whoever said someone would rather them both die of cancer, well both will probably die from the therapy for it! I don't want anyone to die. I think death sucks.

You really are sick. I hope you warn any woman, before you touch her, that she will never be more than an incubator to you. Why in the hell I would smile about that...yeah, you really are demented.
" That's why they changed the phrase to "minorities and women", because they couldn't include women into the term "minorities" anymore.
Wow, you really are an idiot, and apparently, making shit up as you go LOL It is phrased that way because there are women in every minority group. Guess what? Minority women get double "points".
And, with the man's role, did it ever occur to you, that IF there weren't so many deadbeat fathers, more mothers would feel the could bring these kids to term? Did it ever occur to you that any man who didn't want to become a father could be celebate? What do you think of these two factors? Oh, and FYI, the numbers of women who get pregnant, and then NEVER TELL THE LOSER FATHER BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT THEM is growing. So, there are a LOT of men who have kids out there and don't even know it, much less pay their share to raise this kid. I know two of these women.
twohawks: "In a male dominated country...what do you expect? Fairness for women?"
Hit the nail on the head. If it was scafmars that was pregnant, he would RUN to the abortion clinic JUST to avoid the morning sickness. If the shoe was ever on the other foot, the day after pill would be free and available at 7-11.
"In some male dominated countries...especially the Latino ones, if a wife cheats on her husband, he has the right to shoot her and nothing will be said about it. He will not be charged with murder.
Interestingly enough...if he cheats on her...nothing will be done about it. She is powerless to do anything. If she shoots him....she is charged with murder."
And we are supposed to see that culture as such a wonderful thing we should embrace it, along with those scum sucking illegals. Yeah, right
latestflame, sorry, but in every case of a life or death situation I have personally witnessed, it was a woman, not a man who stepped up. Not saying I haven't heard of them doing so, but I haven't ever SEEN it. It has been my experience that society is getting used to men not being as masculine as they used to be. Probably due to the gay movement.
hardtwist, exactly what part of that post do you disagree with? Got anything to back your opinion (besides empty threats, insults, and more opinions)? Post a link.

One of my friends lost their father from brain cancer caused by melanoma. Another one of my friend's dad died of a brain cancer tumor. It's like a death sentence but I can't imagine not even trying to cure it. The woman has another child too. It's a sad situation.

Actually women who would consider abortion are the ones who need to "warn" the men. Having sex is risking pregnancy and some women don't like taking responsibility for what they do so they have abortions. There's nothing for the man to ened tow arn a woman about. I wouldn't date someone who would have abortions no matter what. Guys should start drawing up legal papers for women to sign stating they won't have an abortion if they get pregnant ith that guy and there be a law that it's a criminal act to go against it. Because not much of anything sicker and crueler than a woman leading a guy to believe she wouldn't do it and then think she can change her mind and do it as if he's not involved. The men have no rights in any of it and whose body it's in shouldn't matter.
