Although I believe this fundamental right is already guaranteed under the Constitution, it seems appropriate to bring clarity to what constitutes ‘human’ or ‘person’ (or ‘men’ as used in the Constitution). Therefore, this bill is necessary in defense of every person’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Sweet, so after they pass this one, when can we start trying to make methods of birth control illegal again? I mean seriously, God says no sex for any other purpose than procreation of the species by two people (of any breeding age) in wedlock.

But really though, every person who wants to pass any law (such as this one) which seeks to nullify the effect of RvW should have to adopt at least 1 American orphan. If you have done so, please feel free to harrass me all you like with your position and I will gladly listen to you gripe about the existing laws which seeks to allow for a chance of improved quality of human life before quantity of human life. (please note that these opinions are coming from a person without the physical capacity to carry a child)

Birth control prevents life, it doesn’t end it by stabbing scissors into a moving childs body and then sucks its brains out. There is a big difference, and if you would like to have a more informed view of this you can go to www.truthnet.org

I’ll ask my grandma to talk to you, she’s adopted several orphans and raised them. But afterwords you wont be so sure that you don’t want this law to pass.

remove the red tape and exorbitant costs with current adoptions and i’ll adopt several…. most people can’t afford the process. Also, if it is a “choice” as to when in the growing process that a human gains full personhood, then who makes that choice and by what authority… maybe i’ll just up and decide that my neighbors are too much of a “burden” for me to bear, being my neighbors and not yours it is therefore a “private” choice for me to make, and therefore are non-persons for me to dispose of as i so choose. That is basically the extent of the arguement for abortion.

The problem with the bill is that it would make every woman that currently is having sex, or trying to conceive a child into a murderer. This is due to the effect known as the “Pro Life Conundrum”. The focus of the conundrum is the fact that a woman has a choice to have sex. If she chooses to have sex then the outcome of that sexual activity is 7 out of 10 time abortion. So a choice to have sex is a choice to violate the law as outlined above.

Those such as myself believe that life does not begin at conception and therefore we know that it is foolish to make such laws. But once the law is written, and life is considered to begin at conception, then women will become murderers. And the argument can be made that today, any woman that believes that life begins at conception is either a murderer or a person that has little respect for life. That is why the natural outcome for such foolish legislation leads to this conundrum.

So how is it logical to say that a woman MUST have an abortion as a result of sexual activity? It is ALSO possible to live with the consequences and have the baby – keeping the child or giving it up for adoption. Abortion is an excuse for women to have as much free sex as they want and not have to deal with the scientific effects (or “side effects”, to the Pro-Choice mindset). A woman can have “a choice to have sex”, but, with this law in place, she would not have the option of simply getting rid of the baby and killing the consequences of her sex. Once again, Birth Control, Adoption and simply keeping her baby are all good options for the woman – options that do not veer away from the responsibility she has with her own body as a sexually active female.

Actually, there is proof that life begins at conception and that the heartbeat of what people like you like to call a fetus, can be heard even as early as week 2 after conception, you can check it out at truthnet.org

If this law passes then what is the next step? What is the next government sponsored violation of the rights of a woman who happens to become pregnant? Grocery checks to ensure we are feeding the ‘person’ properly and not violating its rights? Government sponsored activity to be sure we are getting the right amount of exercise or not doing the wrong exercises? Forced prenatal care provided at the expense of the taxpayers?

This is a slippery slope leading to places the government has no business in.

I think that is a sad excuse with no validation. I believe that if we got off our butts and the church did it’s job as The Word tells us to “Feed the poor, they will always be with you,” and get the people who are cheating welfare off their butts and gave them option but to get a job, you wouldn’t even have any reason to say this. BUt instead of giving them birth control, we give them more incentives to have children. I say legalize forced sterilization, especially for those on welfare for more than 5 years.

Amen

The bill is introduced more to protect the life of the embyro within the mother. If a mother is pregant and the doctor say she has to have an operation or she will die, then she can make two choices morally: have the operation, or not have the operation for the sake of the life of the embryo. The latter is the heroic choice. If during the operation the embryo does not survive, then there is no wrong done. However, if the intent is to kill the embyro then that is morally wrong. Killing one human to save another is morally wrong, saving one and respecting the life of the other even if it doesn’t survive is not morally wrong. The distinction is in the intent. And even if many people say “life is not at conception” it would seem to me that if we’re not sure wouldn’t we want to be wrong – for the sake of the life of the embryo?

I totally agree with you. Thank you for bringing that point to the forefront.

Words, words, words. That all the liberals have. Bottom line is sperm hits egg, and boom here we are! It’s the beginning of life. You kill that, you kill a life. All life must be protected.

Science and logic say that life begins at conception. We have tax money paying for guilt counseling for women who have abortions. Abortion devastates people. This is a bill that needs to pass.
