Or the babies could be the next Hitler, or god forbid, Pat *shudder* Robertson.

The "potential" argument means absolutely nothing, to be honest.

Anybody's potential is all that counts and is everything. I guess you are so special you can say who lives or dies and who is going to be special.

No, I just don't care about "potential" only "actuality".

As life changes day by day, and we never can know the future.

Therefore, we might as well treat me as the President, as I have the "potential" to be so.

Potential arguments are naive at best, stupid at worst for that very reason.

And no, I don't think I'm so special that I can say who lives or who dies.

However, I do believe that if a parasite is renting a room in a woman's body, and she believes that time comes to give said parasite an eviction notice, she should be able to.

So you were a parasite before you were born and how much money did you pay for the "room" you were renting? I see your mother did not evict her parasite---you. LOL

Everyone should be treated with dignity, you have no argument from me on that point.

Because my mother wanted me.

That's an easy answer.

So? Are you pumpin' 'em out?

C'mon, get busy!..they'll all be good kids, great adults (If YOU say so) and save the planet and cure rare diseases and stop wars and ...be perfect.


So DO YOUR part! How many have you had...2? 3? a dozen? You're NOT just letting them flow away every month????

It's your PURPOSE in life...your whole reason for being, right?

Get busy!.

I am not fertile but I would if I could. Makes me and all women who have no children feel sorry for women who can't keep the baby they have but must kill it. Many abortions are forced. Read the post I made about it and educate yourself.

Are you really sure of that? Maybe your mother decided to keep you because that was the right thing to do and she would be haunted if she had aborted you.

You don't speak for all women who have no children. I'm sorry that Mother Nature has taken your reproductive choices away, I really am. But that doesn't give you the right to pass judgement on other women/couples who do have the full spectrum of choices and choose something that you personally would not do.

I'm rather sure.

Because if she didn't, I wouldn't be talking today.

Hence why that whole "You support abortion but your mom gave birth to you" argument is foolhardy.
