"Abortion" is just legalized murder.

NEWSFLASH: ALL pregnancies threaten a mother's life.


Pregnancy and childbirth can kill a woman with no advanced warning, such as throwing a blood clot during childbirth.


Therefore, just as it is legal for you to use lethal force when you feel your life is threatened, it should be legal for a woman to use lethal force when she feels her life is threatened.....and pregnancy is a very real threat.


Just as you get to decide what risks you take with your life, so should a woman.

They're completely irrational.

On several levels.
Its really incredible the ridiculous amount of money anti-choices are willing to dole out for an unplanned and often times unwanted child to be born, vs paying literally fractions on the dollar for birth control to be easily available and affordable, if not free.

But, um god's will or something...

An once that child is born, they don't want to pay another cent to help that child thrive, or even survive. Food stamps? Child care? Education? Not with their tax dollars.

Why is it that the death penalty is illegal in many states, but abortion isn't?

There is actually a theory that the legalization of abortion (coupled with ease of contraception) in the 70's caused a reduction of crime in the 90's since those parents who were unable to support a child twenty years prior would have been poor or pushed into poverty once the child was born. Since poverty and crime go hand-in-hand there are missing criminals and people on death row today since those people were not born.

Of course the US prison population is another matter which needs to be addressed.

Yes, legal abortion has been a very good thing for our society.

They don't even want to pay another cent for legal abortions or contraceptions before birth either...

Well guys, seeing as there is now a movement gaining steam which wants our judicial system to punish women who have abortions, both domestically or internationally, you can bet they're going to get behind their tax dollars being used to prosecute, fine and/or imprison these hussies!
