I don't want to say as I want to read the replies without having Guy fans inundate the forum
here are a selection of replies:
Where the hell do males get off dictating? I don't throw my weight around and say 'Men shouldn't be able to get vasectomies, because that's denying all his sperm the right to find an egg and turn into a baby!!'

hahaha i love the irony of the statement -
"I'm anti-abortion; I don't believe any human being has the right to
decide the fate of another, but I'm totally against telling other
people what to do," he said.
hahaha! is he kidding? im against telling others what to do, thats why im gonna release a statement saying abortion is wrong? riiiiight guy
if he really cared about saving LIVES he could use his money in a more constructive and far less moralistic way. like supporting the One campaign, donating to cancer research or sponsoring some impoverished children. ive never liked him and this just confirms my feelings.

"will he put his hand in his pocket and pay for the baby's nappies and formula when it's born? or is that irrelevant to the principle of being an "anti abortionist".
I was going to ask exactly the same question (although I was kind of hoping he'd encourage breastfeeding - formula is such a poor second choice) Maybe he could spend his bucks to sponsor the training of some lactation consultants so babies who are already here could get a better start in life.
It's awfully peachy to champion the rights of embryos but once they're here, kicking and screaming, then it seems they're on their own.
Cool how he timed it to coincide with the federal budget which is taking money away from supporting mothers

wow...this just isn't true. It dissapoints me that Guy is getting involved in such a political issue but he in no way thinks that women are below him. Not im my dealings with him anyway.
I am not sure why you are all so suprised, it has never been a secret that Guy Sebastian is a very committed christian.

OMG you owe me a new keyboard!
I just spit coffee everywhere
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've always hated him...but now this...
REPULSIVE!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think anyone who replied so far has seemed surprised. I'm not because I don't have any interest in the bloke whatsoever (apart from the fact that he is dictating to women how they should use their bodies) Not "surprised" - just pis-sed off

I am Christian, and am all for abortion as a CHOICE.
I understand what he's saying about providing a service for women who really don't know what to do when they fall pregnant. Having an abortion and regretting it later must be an awful thing to experience.
But I don't know why he is getting so personally involved in this issue...
