The hypocrisy of tolerance-demanding liberals? The hypocrisy of those so quick to accuse others of hate and anger?

I don't think any woman who has an abortion does so because she wants to murder a baby. It is a hard decision but I do think it should be a decision for the woman to have a legal abortion with the right guidance and information. The living thing inside of her is an integral part of her and as such noboby else should be able to make the decision for her. If, even after consulation and given all options she decides to go down this hard road, the abortion should take place as early as possible and late as necessary.

We have been down this road before, the dangers of underground and illegal abortions are a huge risk to the woman who is not getting the proper counselling and treatment.

God foribd someone actually characterize baby murdering for what it really is pu you keep pretending that if you put pretty bows on it the heavens will open, rainbows will appear, and lambs and lions will sleep peacefully together.

God forbid a woman try to eliminate the baby inside of her without the guidance and support of medical professionals.

As far as giving info to women before an abortion, I am all for educating women but I won't have women fooled into thinking their 6 week old fetus can feel pain and all this other crap.
There have been instances where women were "counseled" before an abortion only to find they were told they would go to hell if they aborted their "baby" or that their fetus was able to breathe at 6 weeks.

I'm sure many women who choose abortion have considered adoption and it's just not something that works with their life.
I'm sure children feel no pain when aborted.

Given the option of millions of more babies being murdered and perhaps thousands of women dying, I opt to put women in the position to harm themselves to save millions of children.

you tout this nonsense that all women who would have had an abortion under current standards would rush off into dark alleyways with rusty hangers to solve their problems. You ignore the fact that it seems most women having abortions are simply selfish and would in no way risk their health and comfort should abortions become illegal.
