It is interesting that liberals would like to the government to stay out of the bedroom, but they are very welcoming to federal dollars when things do not turn out as planned. Yes, reproductive rights no longer means the right to reproduce, which I am not aware is under attack, but now has become the right to abortion and to have someone else foot the bill. Reproductive rights sounds more health care related and less harsh than the word “abortion”.

This may seem naive to some, but individuals have choices and making bad choices should have consequences. Unfortunately we live in the “whatever” society as in pregnant, abortion/adoption?…… “Whatever!” The abortion choice is very personal and as such should be left to the individual to decide. This ability to do this is setteld law in the Roe V Wade decision. The issue becomes should society pay for something that is intrinsically very individual. That is where the debate lies not in the histronics of the left that reproductive rights are being taken away.

As for those who view abortion as a way to reduce unwanted human beings and being a good thing, I would flip the argument around and ask how many human beings did not make it into this world whom may have had an extraordinary positive impact on our lives? Naive? Absolutely, however if one honestly thinks about this issue perhaps there is more truth than naivete. Consider that those who read C-D are able to do so because a choice was made to bring you into this world. Although you may think yourself special, who says that was the case when you were in utero. I find it ironic that those who have been allowed to pass through the door are often very quick to close it behind them.

And thankfully, many understand the difference between an embryo and an infant.

A tumor is 'alive' and made of human cells, doesn't make it a human life.

If you support such destruction, then why are you against equal rights for all?

Is that anything like paying an oncologist?

Good question. Why do you and other anti-choicers have no regard for the value of a woman's life and her choices?

Is my hair alive? Then why do I have to pay my barber to remove it?

I support life equality and abortion. Past 20 weeks, I feel abortions should be off limits (unless you can make a good case). Before that, it's their call.

I absolutely support it in extreme cases, such as rape. No reason to force the victim of a serious crime to carry the burden of a child.

Liberals don't like that term because it is used in the Bible.
