good
i thought that Both Government and the Opposition's first argument was a bit weak.... :-/ well first, Prime minister came up with mental stress, but that can be actually used against them if a woman are stuck with a baby she doesn't want for the rest of her life because the law says that you can't have abortion, then obviously she's going to live under emance mental pressure until the day she dies. That pressure's gonna kill either woman or the baby... or perhaps even both. Also as for Oxford, I think the Opposition leader was going way to far with the zombie story,(Just as the prime minister pointed out.)and to shorten up what he said, it was just "Women should be allowed to have abortion because she doesn't want the baby" in 80 different sentences. :-/
I was really looking forward to seeing this debate, and I'm surprised that it was so dissatisfactory.
(To be honest I didn't even finish watching this.... I'm in the middle of the Opposition leader's speech.)
Anyways thank you for putting this video up for everyone to watch!
How can one say that the debate was so dissatisfactory when one has only watched till 1st Opp?
because they can.
Wow. No man has ever been so indebted to Judith Jarvis Thompson. He should send her flowers or something
