tom_shor Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 Abortion in the Philippines is an illegal and punishable act, with no exceptions even on the grounds of endangering a woman's life, rape, or foetal impairment. The minimum prison term for an abortion is six months, and the maximum six years.The penalty is 6 months to 6 years prison sentence for killing your unborn child but simple possession of shabu (even 1/20th of a gram) is 12 years to 20 years in prison. For growing a single marijuana plant the penalty is life in prison. (There is no legal restriction to abusing tobacco and alcohol even though they can be deadly.) How in hell can growing a plant be worse than killing a baby? http://www.pdea.gov.ph/documents/RA_9165.pdf The simple answer Mike is This is the Philippines, :th_exactly: While I love the country and the people, a lot of things here just do not seem to make sense to my western mind. :SugarwareZ-037: :1 (103): Thats not just the Philippines. In many places in the US you can spend more time in jail for abusing your pets than for assaulting a human. Abortion is a very difficult issue for sure. Prevention would be the ideal solution to this dilema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On-in-2 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 if you grow marijuana, there's every reason to suppose that you you will sell or give-away part of its crop thereby causing more people to become addicted.I didn't know there was any evidence to suppose that marijuana is even the least bit addictive. Do you know of any such evidence?Pete of New Hampshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
