That is an odd statement since abortion has been legal nationwide since 1973, so unless they are 40+ year old children, then their parents did have the choice.

I tried to rep you but my wand is out of juice.

(That being said, I personally would not choose that option if I was the victim of rape - I would consider the baby to be another victim, and would give it up for adoption, most likely.)

I am vehemently opposed to abortions being performed without parental consent, in the case of minors. A parent should know if a medical procedure is being performed on their child.

As for malformed fetuses, each case is very different. In situations where an infant's condition is incompatible with life outside the womb, and especially if the infant would suffer and then die upon birth, I can see abortion being an option, albeit a very intensely personal and difficult decision to make.

All that aside, though, I don't have an issue with children attending PEACEFUL political rallies or protests. Parents have the right to raise their children with their moral values unless the child's safety is compromised.

"That being said, I personally would not choose that option if I was the victim of rape - I would consider the baby to be another victim, and would give it up for adoption, most likely"
Wow! that would be a tough one. 'Going through life knowing you were the product of a rape'

"As for malformed fetuses, each case is very different. In situations where an infant's condition is incompatible with life outside the womb, and especially if the infant would suffer and then die upon birth, I can see abortion being an option"
There are a lot of different situations, where some make more sense than others. Then there are countries like China and India that abort female unborns in mass.

Almost no one in America would force a woman to carry to term a pregnancy cause by rape. If you do, you are in the very very small minority of people in America that does.

Not even the state of Texas bill forces a woman raped to carry to term.

Thank God you are in the extream minority.

For instance, in my local paper today, there is mention of the "Autobahn Society" in a column about birds. I just about choked on my cereal!
Proofreading is a lost art. Nobody cares these days. It is all left to the computer, and the computer program doesn't know anything worthwhile.
I gave up long ago trying to encourage internet posters to maintain any level of spelling or grammar.
It is quite simply a lost cause.
Now, I merely think "Well, I can ignore anything that person has to say! If he (or she) can't be bothered to write in a clear, concise, manner, his (her) ravings aren't worth the bandwidth they take up!"
I did proofread this. Hopefully I found all my typographical errors.

I think you need to look up the meaning of the word ~ choice.

Choice and Abortion do NOT mean the same thing.

Rats, I was just planning on launching a new line of coffee called Taster's Abortion...back to the drawing board for me!

And the fact that this even has to be explained makes me wonder about just what the heck our educational institutions are doing, anyway.

Children at pro-choice rallies? Children are already featured at pro-life rallies, so why can't pro-choicers get in on the action?
