"abortion is homicide!"
Says you.
"if you are ready for sex you are ready for a baby"
No. Plenty of people do very well with relationships, love and sex, but are not ready or do not wish to have a baby. I DO support your right to not have sex or a baby, in fact, I hope you skip both.
Are you nuts? (Yes, that was a rhetorical question.) Kids often start having sex these days in their mid-teens. Do you seriously think that your average high-schooler is ready to raise a baby? I don't!
If one were to turn this logic around, it might make a little more sense: "If you're ready for a baby, you're ready for sex." That still doesn't take into account the many people who have no intention of having children, but it would be at least a small step in a more logical direction.

Unless you get raped. Or you've had no real sexual education and think that if you <insert urban myth here> then you can't get pregnant. Or if you get an ectopic pregnancy. Or if you carry certain genetic disorders. But other than that, you're probably right!
Oh, and Julian, the correct phrase is: "If there's grass on the wicket, it's time for cricket!" OF course, if you're in the US, finding some baseball-derived equivalent might work better.
Stop calling it homicide, you idiot. Homicide is a legal term for the illegal killing of a person. Abortion is legal, and fetuses do not currently count as people. Thus, not homicide.
Oh, yes. Perfectly logical, Anna. I hope you're ready for a baby if you should be raped tomorrow by your cousin and become pregnant, since unattaching a few dozen cells from your uterine wall would be murder.
Oh, I see. So, 'If they're old enough to pee, they're old enough for me,' is that what you mean?
Not really, we're programmed to want sex before today's society really makes it feasible to have a child. That only worked when you died at 30, so you started having children at 15. Good job, "Hi im Dumbshit"
"abortion is homicide!
Ok, true by your terms (baby being a person). But you are using the emotive side of the word far more than its meaning. It would have to be the absolute least-bad homicide (still by your terms) possible.
if you are ready for sex you are ready for a baby"
Now imagine a different world, where you are 12yo and are so so ready for sex.
Do you seriously want this alternate you to raise a baby. Wouldn't it be more civilized to raise it later when she is set up with education, job, partner. Wouldn't that baby be better off?
It's kind of like saying, "If you're ready to jump out of a plane, you're ready to die." Well, we have parachutes to prevent death. And various methods prevent birth. However, parachuting accidents have happened, and you take responsibility for taking the risk (for goodness' sake, you're jumping out of a plane). The same just happens to be true about sexual activity of any kind. There are various risks with various sex acts. Just be prepared to take responsibility for them (and I'm not calling babies a "risk" in a negative sense).
David D.G., you're probably the smartest person here, and you need to know that. You actually analyze and answer the comments, even ones by fundies, instead of automatically slinging the foulest mud you can. You have the most honor among the brood here.
Wah Wah Wah! To bee quite frank I don't think that a god, who allow parents to sell their children into slavery and/or prostitution and to stone the little brats to death if they object, will give a rats ass about killing unwanted children in the womb.
A girl for whom my godmother babysat became pregnant at thirteen.
So, she was ready for a baby, was she?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
