in response to reader comment: Response to Luigi

It's not your body.

Irrelevant.
A woman is under no obligation to justify her reasons for or against abortion to a virtual stranger - or anyone, for that matter.

No one was asking for Lily's justification.
Frankly, "Luigi", you have no idea what it is like to face pregnancy, labor, breast feeding and child rearing alone on a shoe string income .

Actually, I do. I don't have to experience such things to understand them. Neither does anyone else.
You will never know what it's like because you aren't a woman; hence, what you feel concerning the morality of abortion is a moot point.

If what myself and others on here think are moot points, Lily would not be on here asking for advice her situation, which includes a baby. That's right, Charlotte, a baby, not another body part.

Interesting Charlotte. Instead of enjoying the company of your husband, you would rather debate abortion with me on here in addition to defending your relationship.

Does he do the same for you? I mean, does he go onto to Arabic boards and say how amazing his liberal Western wife is?

I must be really something special to distract you from such an amazing man from just posting.

So tell me, Charlotte, in all your liberal views, I don't suppose you just married your man because he's "different" and that alone makes you feel good? After all, something is compelling you to stay on here and interact with posters.
