Please tell us how much of their budget is spent on supporting other choices. PP is in the business of providing abortions.

I do find it instructive that the debate has devolved into this. I am sure all pro abortion responders are loathe to discuss the OP. Abortion as a means of eugenics. Please defend this.

Your first assertion ("They do nothing to support woman who choose to carry children to term") was proven dead wrong, and still you feel justified in insisting on other people doing your homework, just so we can watch you move the goalposts again? Your bluff was called - just drop it.

Well of course it wasn't proven wrong, PP is in the abortion business. PP postings on its website is propaganda. Lets follow the money.

That said, how about you address the OP. Abotion as eugenics. Please defend this practice.

In other words, both views are wrong now, aren't they? The correct answer becomes clear: Take care of the children, no matter how they have to get their food

Can you imagine if there were genetic testing for sexual orientation? Abortion (or the test) would be banned tomorrow.
I'm a democrat but I don't believe in abortion. I believe it is a moral choice for the woman, but should be legal and safe if that's what she chooses.

I don't think there are really any "pro abortion" democrats. We just don't believe we can tell an adult woman she has to bear a child she doesn't want.

Of course there are pro abortion Democrats.

How do you feel about abortion for sex selection, or for eye color?

I personally don't believe in abortion, my wife and I would choose any other choice than that.

But I'm not about to involve myself in other people's reproductive lives. Seems kind of crazy to me.

So you think abortion is ok for sex selection? You also believe this doesn't impact you? That is a very intersting position.

Do I get a vote on their sex life then if I'm going to control their reproductive life?

If fact, maybe by law we should pair sex partners so we can create the master race? Where do you draw the line of how involved you are going to get?
