I will step up and say it is a baby if that will make you feel better. I still think a woman has a right to reproductive freedom and can do with what she wants with her body.

our us soldiers are not fighting in the name of babies, they are fighting because the government ordered them to do so.

I have a feeling, the OP is trying to link the two issues, to try and confuse supporters into thinking that the government is going to fund abortions for any woman who wants one. This couldn't be further from the truth, as an executive order prohibits federally funded abortions.

So, if someone wants to debate abortions, which has been done many times, please rehash an old post.

If its about healthcare, then leave your moral position at the door.
Just one last thing.
If it wasn't in the original bill, then WHY did there have to be an executive order to begin with???
Everybody now KNOWS that his piece of paper can't overturn a law so THAT IS WHY!

YAWN!!!

Abortion is so overplayed and overstated. I love the hysteria from the "prolife" joke movement though.

LIke most of the "prolife" movement.

Right on and I agree. 100 percent. Spot on.

God help us all and forgive us for being a nation that kills your BABIES.
In my heart I know it's a fetus that cannot survive on it's own, it's the hosts decision whether or not they wish to keep it alive until it can live on it's own.

Now a question for you: Where do you get the audacity to tell me what goes on in my heart? Try speaking for yourself next time.

And I'm sure your God listens to you, personally I prefer reason.

You are free to call it a baby if you wish, and unless you have psychic abilities, you really don't know what we think, feel, or know.

We know from studying the development of the nervous system that pain is only felt from between 28-30 weeks. Withdrawal is not in response to pain, but is a reflex.

I can't help but wonder what the OP's mindset would be if the baby was the result of a multi-racial gang-bang rape. I wonder if he or she would view the same situation so idyllically.

Bleh, I don't understand why the abortion thing has to be so party segregated.

Do I care if anyone else gets an abortion? Not really. It's a little sad and disheartening, but ultimately it's not my decision to make for them. Most women have a fairly legitimate reason anyway.

Would I let my wife have an abortion? Not a chance in hell. I absolutely do not want any more children, but I'll certainly take responsibility for any child I bring into the world.

She'd probably let her daughter adhere the trauma because being as religious as she is, abortion is against everything she was brainwashed into believing. In a nutshell: her beliefs and religion are far above that of her daughters existance or needs.

Did you say wife, or possession? Would that not be a decision made together?

Congress can pass a law, saying that government funded abortions are legal. However, the President can simply fill out an executive order, prohibiting federal funding for abortions.

See the difference here?

You should know this has happened before. Congress passed a law, making stem cell research legal. The President, signed an executive order saying that no federal funding would go towards new lines of stem cell research.

So yes, its legal, but no, its not funded.
