So you're saying a woman should take responsibility to prevent a pregnancy? That's her responsibility? But once she is pregnant she should not take responsibility for her condition, but should do what she is told to by "you"? Interesting.

This reeks of that horrific attitude
Look at the recent fiasco when Michelle Obama proposed that people could claim the cost of breast pumps on their HSA's. One would have thought the end of the world was nigh. This was after all to benefit newborn babies, the post-embro, post-fetus, which is apparently not as interesting as an embryo or fetus, or no longer the pro-lifers worth taking care of.

Says who, I love this idea too, so... you say that because our founding fathers were christian and they wrote the constitution (this is what I've heard most say), however, that doesn't mean they wrote the laws based on christianty, Joe Biden is a catholic and for abortion, just like me, there is one example of you BELIEFS not affecting LAWS

Why do you automatically assume I need to keep my legs closed?

I am saying that unborn children have "rights" too and being kept alive is one of them. You know the "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness". At what age do kids get the benefit of protection by the Constitution?

The child is still the mother's child no matter what. Does she want to really kill her own child? Give her a chance to see the baby, her own baby and then decide.

Women are not stupid. They understand what abortion is.

What about when a pregnant woman is killed and the law charges the person who commited the crime with TWO counts of murder? Under your definition, the fetus never existed.

They want it to be taxpayer funded birth control.
