First, tax payer money does not pay for elective abortion. So you can cross that worry off of your list.
You said, "It is a woman's body, she should have a choice what to do with it." then you said, "it's disgusting how many are fighting for the right to abort." What we are fighting for is the right to make our own medical decisions.
Wouldn't you fight to be able to make your own medical decisions? What if some random politician decided that they knew better than you and your doctor about what should go on with your body? I think it's yucky that old men use Viagra to have sex. It makes me feel squeamish to think about it. Gross. Maybe I even think that it's God's will for him to not be able to have sex anymore. But I'm still willing to fight for some old man's right to purchase Viagra if he wants to and if his doctor says it's safe for him... because it's not my body and not my business.
Way to cherry pick that post. I stated I was pro choice, and always will be. You've got my vote. I can still have my own opinions , which I do , after that.
Also, maybe the better decision would be to use some sort of contraceptive , or abstain ... then you wouldn't have to make that medical decision. Just a thought.
So...you do think there is an exit poll after an abortion?
Not so much a poll, but almost all pro-infanticide people are liberals, most anti-infanticide people are conservatives to it only follows. Also, there are statistics out there.
Now, go look up the meaning of facetious, but don't tell anyone. It's our little secret.
To repeat what I said earlier, the debate isn’t just about a woman’s right to do what she wants with her body. It’s over whether or not it’s murder.
One side believes the baby/fetus is a human life and the woman doesn’t have the right to kill it - inside or outside of the womb. The other side doesn’t believe it’s a human life and therefore it wouldn’t be murder, so the woman can abort it.
Again, I’m on the fence, but framing it as people trying to control a woman’s body is dishonest...and that’s coming from me, a person whose philosophy is based entirely on self-ownership and letting people control their own bodies and lives.
IF the law says that you have to donate blood or bone marrow or be a living organ donor to keep someone alive, then do you have self ownership?
If you asked around in your circle of friends, including your pro-life friends, and if they were honest, you might be shocked. The chance of them being honest with someone they might perceive as judgmental is slim to none, though.
Then there are the widespread stories of "God-fearing Republicans" who ask their mistresses to abort:
Pennsylvania Rep. Tim Murphy has resigned after a report surfaced earlier this week that he had asked an extramarital lover to end her pregnancy.
Murphy, a Republican who co-sponsored a 20-week abortion ban that passed in the House Tuesday, allegedly asked his lover to terminate her pregnancy, according to text message records acquired by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Two abortions. Maybe three, if you count the one he pressured a girlfriend—who happened to be his patient—to get.... Voters in Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District had plenty of reasons not to vote for incumbent Scott DesJarlais last week.
... not to mention women who are pro-life, end up needing an abortion, then go back to being pro-life. It happens not-infrequently. It's okay for them, because they're a special case somehow, but nobody else should be able to make that decision. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
another poll by a liberal, who sees only the extreme ends of an issue.
for conscious humans other alternative choices should have been offered.
What you are seeing is a not unexpected reaction to some states passing late term abortion.
One extreme fosters a reaction to the other extreme.
To advocate the killing babies as an alternative to birth control is a society out of control.
