Abortion (and especially late term abortion) is not like any other standard medical procedure, there is another human life involved. It hits at one of the core elements of our society - i.e., what rights do we have as human beings? And how do we value human life - especially those lives with disabilities? As such, it deserves extensive and critical debate across both sides. It is a complex and difficult topic, that given its implications for the mother, child, and ultimately our society as a whole, deserves the utmost respect and contemplation. It certainly isn’t something that should be celebrated by lighting up a building.
Also, it is very scary to see this disturbing trend of public commentary from women lamenting that they haven’t experienced an abortion or posting youtube videos of their abortions and how it was just ‘no big deal’.
And I say this as a woman who has always been pro-choice.
I can't figure out if they want to de-sensitize us to abortion or to shock us so it will be overturned. So far the latter is happening.
If a woman was expecting twins and only wanted one child could she tell her doctor 2 babies would be too much for her so abort the one she doesn't want?
They would need to wait until birth to insure the health of the baby she wanted. See how evil this can be?
I see how evil this can be, some comments that is.
I cannot imagine that any woman planning on delivering children would do something like that!
If leftist hatred is allowing the strong to murder the weakest among us it won't be long til genetic tests will allow selective abortion, then the elderly with deficiencies are next.........the godless won't hesitate to do that.....
Why is anyone surprised? Margarte Sanger (founder of Planned Parenthood) was a eugenicist and a racist, as were many "progressives" of that era. The left-wing is merely reviving the practice of eugenics. Who really thinks it's a coincidence that Blacks and Hispanics have MUCH higher abortion rates than Whites? Who really thinks it's a coincidence that PP's abortion facilities are located in or very near Black and/or Hispanic neighborhoods?
I never assumed anything of the kind but I want people to be honest about what it is they want. I am not saying you, but others want abortion on demand whenever and wherever. As a country we have to decide if that is who we want to be. Polling is not in favor of it and the conversation has to include those who are against it.
The ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil rights. Take away her reproductive choice and you step onto a slippery slope. If the government can force a woman to continue a pregnancy, what about forcing a woman to use contraception or undergo sterilization?

In this case, it's semantics: "civil rights" = "murder" Amazing what people come up with in an attempt to cover up the truth.
Too bad the baby (oh wait, now it's just a fetus) doesn't have any civil rights. It's a fetus if you don't want the baby. . . if you want the baby, then it's a 'baby' from the moment of conception. You don't hear anyone commenting about a pregnant woman's "fetus bump".
As soon as it's proven that genetics is the reason for people being 'gay'. . . there will be an immediate reversal of legal abortions.
"But what if a woman is pregnant with 8 babies, and she only wants 4, and they have to be 2 boys and 2 girls? They would have to wait until birth so she could pick the ones she wants, and then they would chop the heads off the other 4. See how evil that can be!"
This is seriously how crazy these folks sound lol. Fantasy is all they have, because they know that there is no reputable doctor, and no woman who has carried for 8-9 months that will do something that stupid. Scare tactics mixed with ignorance is quite the combination.

You seem to not understand the difference between definitions, and what people say to each other. Whether you like it or not, until the fetus is born, it IS a fetus. Period. Your emotions on the subject are irrelevant, because it is a definition, not an opinion.
"Murder" is also a legal definition, and abortion does not meet the requirements. I take it that you are one of those people who believe life starts at conception or whatever? Because in reality, until the fetus can survive outside the womb, it isn't really "alive", is it? Even after that, the law says it would be for extreme circumstances, not just a woman coming in at 38 weeks saying, "Kill the baby, I decided I don't want it." You people should really learn to live in reality, because that isn't happening anyways.
