Jehovah's Witnesses aren't allowed to celebrate birthdays either - not even Jesus's. One lady told me the only birthday mentioned being celebrated in the Bible is that of Herod the Baddie, which proves that only baddies celebrate birthdays and God Doesn't Approve.

But whether it's Christian, Muslim, Hindu or whatever,…

I'm not 'insisting' that this pregnancy is unwanted, I'm saying that all the factors point to it being unplanned. Big difference. (If it was planned and they intend to get married, why not do things in the conventional order, wedding first, baby later?) Personally I would have thought…

Well, when the law states everything has to be tested on animals, it's pretty difficult to find medication that hasn't. Doesn't make it any safer, though.

your continued use of terms such as "thugs" and "monsters" is highly emotionally charged

And there's nothing emotional about animals being tortured and bludgeoned to death in a sea that runs red with their blood. Right, gotcha. That's why the thugs sorry law-abiding dolphin-killers try to hide behind tarpaulins.

unlike sharks, porpoises are mammals, not fish.

Makes little difference. People do campaign against the barbaric practice of shark-finning, and I'm sure many would campaign against any shark slaughter as horrific as the Taiji dolphin hunt. Not that the Taiji monsters would actually be brave enough to get into the…

Mugi-meshi is not unappetising. I eat it quite often, when there isn't time to cook genmai. I'd prefer it to dead bodies and bread, especially if it's the cheap soft white cotton-wool variety.

I think most dolphin meat is labelled as whale meat when it's sold. Who in their right minds would knowingly feed their family on meat that has been described as 'toxic waste' because of the high levels of contamination?

The so-called 'fishermen' who work out of Taiji are…

And posters like imgold look for any opportunity to play the pathetic and childish 'they hate us because we're American' card.

What on earth does the nationality of either of the young people have to do with this?

What makes you think the "baby" is unwanted ?

If it was wanted and planned, then they really are lacking in common-sense...
