Have you ever considered that it is not your body that you are destroying but the seperate individual body of another human life that you are carrying until it can exist on its own? A two year old child cannot exist on its own either, do you have the right to destroy that child?

we need to end rape, sexual violence and abuse, and incest first. these are the real issues that nobody wants to address. if women had control over when they have sex (like men do) then there would not be so many unwanted children. Second point: if you do not have a uterus of your own, then you should not tell women what to do. and if you find abortion morally repugnant, then don’t have one. Finally, I do not want this country to go back to the days when girls used coat hangers on themselves or went to somebody’s house to get an illegal abortion.
So… since a man doesn’t have a uterus, he can’t have a say in what happens to unborn children? Interesting. What if a man doesn’t want his girlfriend to abort a child he’s willing to raise? Does he have any say? He’d certainly be financially responsible for the child once it was born.
The real point is that everyone has a vested interest in promoting a society that embraces and respects life—even the potential for life.
Sorry, you have it wrong. When an abortion is performed, it is the baby’s body that dies not the mother’s. The BABY isn’t asked if he or she would like to live or die; therefore, no “choice” was given to the appropriate person—the baby!
The vast majority of pregnant women had a choice, and they chose to take the risk that they would become pregnant. Once a baby has entered the picture, the woman no longer has a choice. She has made her choice already.
Not according to the laws that America enforces. And at the current success rate of the conservatives, that will be a long, long time.
…and those who did not have a choice?
So a woman who was impregnated by a rapist chose to be raped?
No, That’s not good at all but maybe that child was meant to live in this world like you and I after all it’s not the child’s fault so don’t punish a child of God for what the rapist did by killing your baby punish the rapist and let the baby live. We all have the right to live. Personally I could never kill whats apart of me. Don’t punish an inascent life for someone elses evil doings.
forcing a woman to carry and deliver her rapist’s baby is gross
What would you do if your abusive boyfriend impregnated you? Most people believe that there cannot be consent in a relationship where intimidation and violence are present. I would argue that women do not always have a choice. Do not judge women for getting abortions unless you have been physically, emotionally, and sexually abused by a man.

I have read your comments.. and I am shocked. Not because your pro abortion (“Choice”) but because your on a political website complaining yet your not up on your politics.
In 2004 the congress passed the Fetal Pain Act. This Act says that it has been medically proven that a Fetus of 20 weeks (as early as 17 weeks) feels pain like you or I do. If you are educated on abortion at all there are 2 ways they abort a child.
1) Rip all it’s body parts off to get it out easier. So imagine the pain you would feel if someone ripped your leg off and then the other.. then your arms and then your head.
2) Partial birth.. (which our oh so merciful President wants to bring back) where they deliver all of the baby besides the head, jam a sharp tool into it’s skull (and yes the baby is squirming) and through that hole the suck out it’s brains. WHY do they call it partial birth.. cause it the whole baby came out.. THEN IT WOULD BE A LIVE BIRTH.. how do you justify that?
Are you referring to me when you say I am not up on my politics? Why? I never said anything about whether a fetus feels pain or not. Frankly, it’s irrelevant to me, my position remains the same.

“It amazes me how many people in this country actively seek to control other people’s lives” I second that!
Was ‘cloning’ snuck in there? Are you people reading this? Please don’t support this bill unless that word is removed.
I support the bill except for that vital word. Hence, I can’t support the bill until it is removed.
Agreed. Let’s let people make their own choices.
IF you follow logic that simply says “let people choose” then you are saying that I can kill my 17 year old brother. It’s my choice and he hit me wit ha pillow the other day.
Logic like that just shows a laziness to not actually come up with real arguments about the issue. Serial killers make a life choice to kill people, but that doesn’t mean we should condone it.
The problem with the “pro-life” or “right-to-life” position is that it is anti-abortion, which means anti-choice. The “pro-choice” position allows room for either life or abortion, and is NOT “pro-abortion” or “anti-life”.
As pinky says – although my cynicism causes me to doubt that any overwhelming majority of Americans are pro-choice – outlawing abortion will not prevent it from happening. If your bottom line is to STOP abortions, then the discussion needs to be around preventing unwanted pregnancies (which includes any cases of pregnancy by rape).
By outlawing abortion, you do nothing to prevent it, since it will just continue to happen illegally as it did before Roe v. Wade, and you add to the problem a pandemic of unhealthy women who are damaging their bodies. So if you’re not preventing abortion, a law like this would stand to also sacrifice women’s health for the sake of ideology. It’s wrong in every sense of the word.
You doubt that the majority is pro-choice? You can google the polls, it is a fact.
The majority goes back and forth quite a bit.
http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm
neither one ever seems to have much more 10%
I could cite anyone of those polls and say that pro lifers are in majority.
I could ALSO cite anyone of those polls and say that pro choicers are in majority.
not as simple as we all would like it to be…
You need to look at the real statistics concerning “back alley” abortions before you make your assumptions. The whole premise of Roe vs Wade was based on a lie. The abortion advocates at that time have since admitted that they lied about the numbers of back street abortions. Norma McCorvey has admitted she lied about being raped. We also knew very little about fetal development, or the psychological effects to the mother at that time. It was a different era, and the taboos associated with being an unwed mother are non-existent today. The law was passed by male judges, without study, research or consideration. Any biology book you read will state that human life begins at conception. Abortion on demand is yet another sign of our culture’s shallowness and selfishness. It’s wrong at any stage of gestation. It hurts women, and is a tool for making women believe that they can only give their child life under the most opportunistic situations.
It is anti-woman, and big outlets like Planned Parenthood need it to stay legal to keep their profits. Researchers looking for glory and fame need it to stay legal for stem cell research, even though we have had much more promise with adult stem cells. 27 years of “embryonic” stem cell research has yielded nothing. It’s an industry, plain and simple. Too bad millions of human beings are put to death for the crime of being inconvenient.
The average age of the fetus for induced abortions is 12 weeks gestation. If you dare, look at some photos of a fetus of that age.
So we shouldn’t have laws against rape becasue it happens anyway? What about murder (of already born people)?
Well, it amazes me how people will refer (and obscure) Biblical scripture to defend pro-death (a.k.a pro-choice to chose death), yet completely neglect scientific facts to support pro-life arguments.
On that same note, when the Bible is (appropriately) referred to condemn homosexuality, those very same “pro-chooser’s” that hid behind the Bible then burn it down and refer to so-called “scientific” facts!
The scientific reality is that an EGG and SPERM cell are BOTH LIVING organisms, and thus, when fertilized, CONTINUES to be a living entity
-and furthermore -BECOMES Human!That is the scientific fact!
Abortion, to me is Murder, to ban abortion would create another evil just as bad. Young women would have their bodies mutilated trying bedroom abortions. So the answer is not to ban, but to educate. Educate our children to believe in abstinence. Abstinence protects them from getting pregnant, from getting HIV, Aids, and other STD’s. It could save their lives. Also you say it is a woman’s right, what about the father’s right. That child is as much a part of him as her. Pass laws requiring a woman to have the child’s father’s consent before having an abortion. Also require that a woman have been counseled before the abortion and have a two week waiting period after signing up for the abortion. And always remember, your mother was pro life, or you may have been aborted. One last note, if a man kills a pregnant woman, he can be convicted on two counts of murder, one for her and one for the unborn child.
