Never one to shy away from a good discussion, I decided that I really wanted to have an area devoted to being able to debate someone on a broad variety of topics. I got to know Sid at a website that we both frequent and he seemed like such a cool frood that I wanted him to help me make this happen. At present our only ground rule is respect and the discussion will be pretty free form. If any of you wants to debate any topic in the future send me an email or a comment and we'll talk.

Over the coming days we'll be writing a series of posts on the topic of abortion. It will begin on the morality of that act and may morph into a discussion of legality. We'll see. This is especially timely considering that the Supremes just ruled on late term abortions. Since we've been working on this idea for a few weeks I can assure you that this is entirely a happy accident.

So without further ado I present to you the opening position. Look for the answer later this week.

BTW, comments for that page are turned off on purpose. Feel free to comment here if you feel the need.

I just posted my reply to Sid and I think this will be an interesting debate. Not sure what I'm talking about? Click here and feel free to discuss it here in comments. Pull no punches on either of us, provided you can do so respectfully.

Sid's 2nd Rebuttal is up in our on going debate. Feel free to comment here if you like.
