GOSH! Think how HAPPY you'll be!!!
No kidding.

I do see where the pro life people stand although I disagree with them. I try to see it from their side but like I said many times before: I stand firm that it is the womans choice.

I dont see how some of these people even think a woman should be forced to have the baby if she was raped. There are some people who even think that woman should give her life up for the baby. This is where I stop and draw the line. Why should I have to give up my LIFE for someone/something (When it is just a bunch of cells)?

It is a personal decision and should be left up to the mother and doctor.

So isn't it stupid and misogynistic to fight to overturn R V. W ????Yes, it is.

""""Those aren't the consequences I want. I do support the right to an abortion in some cases. I also support promoting contraceptives and making them more widely available, along with making adoption a more viable option.

YOU will never be pregnant so your fight to outlaw abortion, no matter how futile, is aimed at making women suffer....you hate women.



""""My vote for pro-life politicians counts the same as your vote for anti-life/pro-death ones. Period. Deal with it or leave the country if you don't like men being permitted to vote. I should also remind you that MEN (and, at that time, ONLY men) on the SCOTUS gave you this so-called "right" to an abortion. """



Your vote counts (but didn't do much in the last two elections) but you haven't noticed that for all the years since R V. W your Repub candidate s have done NOTHING about abortion...but they sure SUCKERED you into voting for them ..LOL!!!!!

Oh, and the Supreme Court MAY be made up of only men at the time but it was LOTS of people, men and women , who helped passed that law...we do NOT owe men for that!

My response to her was harsh, I admit. I just don't like being told I don't have the right to an opinion - it's rude and I would never, ever say it to anyone.

I've gone back and done some editing.

And, no, I don't hate women.

Being told you don't have a right to your opinion is rude? By comparison, what is being told you shouldn't have the right to make decisions about your own body? You have no problem telling women that.

You have an opinion. Of course. We all do. This is America.

You have the right to go and try to get laws changed and make them more pro life but that does not change the fact that women can go to Canada and get abortions done without ANY restriction whatsoever. Women can go to another state and get it done if one state makes it illegal.

I also do have to say that people who against abortion in case of rape (Which I know you are not) are indeed anti woman. Being pro life in general may not be anti woman but when you push it to that extent, yes. It is then anti woman and indeed when you expect her to give up her life for the baby, even more so anti woman.

True. But once again, remember they think about the baby-not the woman.

She has to make decisions for another body as well...not only her own.

You're correct that a first trimester fetus (actually an embryo at that point) is not a person. I don't see it as one either. But, by the middle to end of the second trimester, yes it is, and it should have rights too.

Yes, she does. But, as you say, she does, not you, not the law. Her body, her choice.

I wouldn't. As a jurist that wouldn't be my function, any other questions?

3. Do you think random whores should be punished for not making better choices by being forced to give birth?

I think involuntary sterilization would be a better choice, like a manwhore that has 10 kids without supporting them.

Given modern medicine, that would be very rare...

Not as rare as you apparently think. And I still disagree with you about it being black and white.
