I don't like abortions. In fact, I don't know anyone who actually likes them.

However, I would much rather have my daughter in an abortion clinic run by qualified medical personnel than to have her lying dead in a morgue or funeral home.

What's disgusting is that your world view allows no recognition of the fact that others do not share your opinion. And that's all you've got, your opinion. No facts. And some people think having an abortion is a permissible choice and not the "taking of innocent, defenseless life." Your belief doesn't make it so.

You have zero control over what any woman or teen choose to do with her body. That is HER opinion and her choice and you don't get to mandate anything.

And no, carrying a child to term, delivering it and making an adoption placement is not a reasonable alternative to abortion for a woman who doesn't want to do that.

Just because something is legal doesn't make it right or worthy of attention. Prostitution is legal in most of Nevada, but I damn sure don't support ads telling young women how to become a ***** for hire.
Teen Vogue has only become worse over time.

If you don't want a baby, don't have sex. It's seriously that easy.


There are a couple of reasons teen pregnancy is down. More are choosing to not be sexually active. Another reason too is because parents are being more proactive is taking their daughters to the Dr and getting them put on birth control to help avoid it or purchasing condoms for their kids too.

Yes, banning abortions may also drive in-home options like video consultation with overseas Doctors. Perhaps even medical telerobotics rentals for late-term abortions? There's a lot of options available now that weren't prior to Roe v. Wade.

If you have sex & unfortunately get pregnant when you didn’t want to, get an abortion. It really is that easy.

Yeah its a darned if you do and darned if you don't think with Republicans. Single teen mothers are shamed by conservatives but so are teens who seek abortions. At the end of the day, the problem was sex out of wedlock according to them.

It is a consequence of your actions. Please. Then again...I am a woman and understand this.

Give it a break there is a difference. Then again....I know people who have been raped and actually kept their kids. To this day they will say that child is the best thing that ever happened to them.

For the record, I am thankful I have the relationship with my daughter to know what she does not need to go to some other source for help.
