Debate on Ethics
Ha... Take that....
The debate went well. I managed to hold back my tounge (some of the time) and one of the lecturers is off to confirm one of my statements which I researched... she has to ask one of the midwifery lecturers.... it's true I know so.
We had some right underhanded tactics. She was showing photos from Google image search (type abortion in if you have a really strong stomach or use the link under the cut) (and don't say I didn't warn you!) and I managed to de-bunk most of them before they got past the first row (link under the cut too).
Warning the following links could be considered distressing in some cases:
Gerri Santoro - US woman who died following a 'back-street' abortion in 1964 (Wikipedia)
Gerri Santoro - Containing the 'photograph' (Pro-choice website) Distressing Photograph
Abortion - General abortion stats, history and medical information
Abortion in the UK
When is the Foetus 'Alive'? - BBC ethical essay
Warning Many Distressing Photographs Google image search on Abortion and the de-dunking material here.
That was about it
I think
