You really need to stop being the forum drama queen.

Your true colors are showing.
No .. it is NOT ok to kill an unborn baby but I won't tell a rape victim that she has to carry the rapist baby to term.

What would give you the right to tell a rape victim anything????


You called abortion taking an "innocent life" and said it was wrong.


How does that "innocent life" change because it's the product of rape?

How did /does the "innocent life" change in those two instances.

She never could answer.....resorted to "you're too emotional" instead of a real answer...
Ok ... Tell you what. Since you pro-choicers want to attack us pro-lifers for making concessions in the event of rape, I think we should change our tune then to allowing NO exceptions for abortions except if the life of the mother is in jeopardy (as I doubt the baby has a chance of survival at that point). When abortion become illegal, then rape victims should carry the innocent baby to term. No concessions for you pro-choicers for rape victims.

I'm grateful that she did not opt for that choice or else many lives would not have been touched by my life. It takes a courageous woman to choose life for the child they are carrying despite difficult obstacles and hardships.
And you couldn't be more wrong with the underlined statement. I have never and WILL never "advise" anyone to get an abortion. But I will support the decision of any woman who thinks she needs one. As I would support the decision of any woman who chose to carry to term and give the child up for adoption. My whole point is that it is her decision to make, not anyone else's.

It doesn't change my opinion one bit on abortion. Until we create artificial wombs or a good way to remove the fetus from the womb without killing it, and putting it into another womb, then abortion is the only way to solve unwanted pregnancy. There are no other alternatives.
What about adoption? There are many infertile couples that desire to adopt babies.

Do you read what you post? You say it is not OK to "kill an unborn baby" and then say it is OK to kill an unborn baby that is the result of a rape. Which is it - OK or not OK?

Your mother was once an "incubator" that carried you to term. What a cruel term to use for pregnant women.

There are many women who choose adoption. There are many women who choose abortion. There are many women who choose to keep their babies. That's what it's all about - CHOICE.

Well, it WOULD make you look more ...er...logical.

And , yes , Your Highness, when you pass your ruling against women's choice I'm sure in your great wisdom amd arrogance you will outlaw abortion for any reason....and it'll be all my fault ..LOL!
