/* Plagiarism */
The entire section "Ten Arguments Against Abortion" has been copied, word-for-word, from another site, [http://womensissues.about.com/od/reproductiverights/a/AbortionArgumen.htm]. While there is a reference link, there is no indication that it is the entire section that has been copied (rather than the reference being a source for information in the 10th argument). Quoted material should be indicated as such, with quotation marks and in-text attribution. There is no in-text attribution. There's no indication that the author has given permission for such a large section of her work to be quoted here. There is no title given for the reference, no author, and no date of retrieval. AND, probably because it was copied word-for-word, there are no sources for any of the ten arguments. This section needs to be removed; Conservapedia editors should not represent others' work as their own. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 21:30, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
: I agree, and I will remove it, not just because it's copied, but because the arguments are poor (if the arguments were good, perhaps they could be rewritten instead, but as it stands, it's not worth keeping, although that's not to say that some of the points could not be reinstated in our own words.

=="Silly" edits==
I appreciate that the grammar of my edit was suspect at best (I blame the lateness of the edit), but I think that the fact that taking of life has to be with malice for a civilised society to not condone it. As many civilised societies permit capital punishment. Sure having that fact there weakens the arguement made in the point, but not having it there will mean that many people will reject it out of hand --[[User:J00ni|J00ni]] 04:50, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
: I agree, and would reinstate your change, except that I'm going to delete the whole section as discussed in the ''Plagiarism'' section above. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 07:49, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
