What is hard about this for you? I do not believe in polls, EVER, not for or against my cause, because they are INCORRECT. unless you survey the entire population in question they will never be correct, and even if you did, sometimes people lie, to pacify the asker, think its funny, don't really understandd the whole concept, ect. The majority of polls question around 1000 people. That is in no way representive of the entire population. If it were then look at the poll on the top of your page.

So your implication that pro-lifers give the life of the unborn priority over the life of the woman is without foundation.

Now if you want to talk about why the life of the unborn is more important than the convenience of the woman, we can discuss it.

The numerous convenience reasons for abortion-----

'I want to go to college at the same time as my friends'

'I broke up with my boyfriend'

'I don't want to raise a baby (and am too lazy to contact an adoption agency)'

'I already have kids'

----do not provide ample justification for killing a living human being.

Let's be clear about what the issue is here, fracturedman.

Your weak propaganda is not getting the job done.

Back away from the vague political slogans that you are used to, and deal honestly with the reality of the situation.
And I'm not sure why you continue to post the same nonsense since this is the 4th or 5th time you have posted this and I have had to reply that this is simply incorrect. Due to HIPPA laws( you know those medical privacy right laws). I am still waiting for you to answer how exactly you are able to speak to the unborn to know their wishes!

Some people believe that they can tell others how to live their lives, and what they think is right is what everyone should think is right. Others want to give people the choice to live their life how they see fit, as long as you don't infringe on anyone else's rights.

You decide.

What it sounds like to me is that you want a police state to tell you what not to do. This is common when people need guidance from Big Daddy.

In my world the pro-lifers want all fetus to be guarded by the government until they are old enough to be trained to kill.

There are state laws against child pornography and beating a spouse. Enforce those if you can.....

I realize that not all of us live under one culture. There are times when an abortion is necessary but I will not bore you with why. The problem in 1972 and before, was that these necessary abortions brought death to the women. Women are not brood mares and they should not ever be punished and forced into unwanted pregnancies. That is medieval thinking and has no bearing on today's culture.

One of the best way to curb the number of abortions are through Family Planning Clinics. Pro-lifers are marching to stop these clinics. When it comes to rape cases, Pro-lifers are marching to stop the morning after pill. Pro-lifers want to punish women for getting into trouble.

I swear.....I feel like Heston waking up in the field and seeing the apes on top!

Can you imagine the outrage if Michael Vick killed a dog that was carrying pupppies at the time? The guy did his time, like a man. Took responsibility. Apologized......and folks are still talking about not letting the guy work again.......threatening to protest any NFL team if they sign him.

Those same people would have no problem with Vick if the headlines had read "VICK HELPS PAY FOR GIRLFRIEND'S ABORTION". No problem at all with him taking the life of his unborn (yet living) child.

Now mind you, Vick didn't fight dogs that had pups and still look at how unforgiving they are to him.

We value animals more than humans. We are insane....

I never said I spoke to the unborn.

The reasons that women get abortions were published by the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion affiliate of Planned Parenthood.

They surveyed women directly and asked them about their abortion views.

They did not need to get permission or information from medical providers.

So HIPAA did not apply.

Killing them would be infringing on their rights, correct?

Women normally become pregnant because of their own actions (less than 2% of abortions are due to rape).

I have no issue with birth control if it only prevents fertilization. However many 'birth control' methods are actually abortifacients.

No because as we have established time and time again, only those of us born truely have rights. I am sorry if you dont like that statement, but that is where we currently stand.
