One of my very first website ideas, which was when I was like 15 years old, was called 'netfued'.
I didn't have the skills at the time to make it, but the whole thing had so much potential that i'd be a rich man today. The fact that the internet has moved to social networking and all that just shows how visonary I actaully am.

The idea was that you set up a 'fued' between someone, with a set amount of replies and rules... so Person A can set up a maximum of 10 replies back'n'forth, X amount of letters per each one, a category, and they would argue a point back'n'forth.... ending with a vote from the public, whoever gets the most votes, wins the feud.

It could be anything from political debate to YourMum cusses.

A girlfriend of mine had a termination ten years ago. I took the attitude of supporting her in whatever decision she wanted. It was very difficult for her (wasn't great for me either tbh), she ended up having counselling for about 6 months afterwards.

Afternoon boys and girls.
There shouldn't be any problem with allowing abortion - it's a woman's body, etc etc....
I know you get those cases where the father wants to keep the baby and the mother doesn't. They should only be able to do it if they can transplant teh foetus into either themselves or another willing volunteer. Not going to be possible at all, but just as sensible as forcing a woman to go through a pregnancy she doesn't want.

I think a woman will think long and hard about abortion and if a woman decides that's what she wants then forcing her to have a baby benefits nobody.
