Even the most conscientious woman could find herself in need of an abortion.

I was unaware that you only supported abortion in cases where birth control failed.

OK, so the 1% of abortions that are associated with rape are off limits.

What about the others?

why is it anyone's business other than the woman who is having the abortion the reason? she does not have to justify it to anyone other than herself.

Sounds like a great argument for exterminating Jews since they were deemed non-persons by a government body just like fetuses were.

Considering Conservatives worship a man who both grew government and spent like a drunken sailor during his tenure I guess it should come as no surprise.

drunken sailor, oh the drama lol

An anti- Semitic statement couched in some kind of nonsense argument

I don't.

My post was in response to your assertion that women can ALWAYS prevent pregnancy just by using birth control......which is simply not true.

As a pro-life advocate, I do accept that when the life of the mother in threatened, that her life should be the focus of saving, but those instances are VERY, VERY small. Yet, you use that as the key reason to advocate for the killing of a living being.

I believe that a woman should choose life first, that all women should be educated about the alternatives to killing their progeny. They should be made aware that there are support and advocacy groups for pregnant women and there are thousands of families that want to provide safe and loving homes to unwanted children. PP does not advocate for women when it comes to educating them on all their option. PP thinks that the only way to empower a woman is to encourage her decision to kill her child because they lead her to believe that is her ONLY option.

You cannot legislate compassion and morality, which is why abortion will always happen, regardless of legality or not. That will not stop me from advocating for life or supporting those clinics that advocate for life and seek to educate and support women who understand that abortion is the active taking of a human life and not a convenient way to avoid the consequences of their actions.

I couldn't have said it better.
