Regarding abortion, if you believe that a baby in a womb is a person, then it's hard to make the argument that killing them isn't a violation of their rights. However, if you dehumanize them it seems perfectly fine.
Excellently put.
It is really just a matter of the anti-life trying to convince themselves that that beating heart belongs to some subhuman being.
As for it being "legal, so it doesn't matter," I suppose many of you would have been fine
in the 1940s when some Germans were enacting that Final Solution. It was legal, after all.
Cripes, even Roe v. Wade admitted the state has an interest in the potentiality of human life.
We are ONE nation and should act as such. Govenment is government no matter how some want to view it or claim there is a difference bewteen Federal or State level government. The government has no business in a medical procedure sanctioned by the medical field.

exactly. we are one country where we all are equal, the laws are for everyone and a state doesn't get to back out of it because some of their citizens don't like it. why would it matter if it was the feds or the state enforcing the law, it doesn't matter unless of course you want to exclude people from their civil rights.
The limitations are a joke, there are no real limitations. These abortion mills are not closely scrutinized.
The reality is viability doesn't matter to the pro abortion crowed. They really want abortion on demand for any reason.
I cant address every concern you have with abortion or speak for the "pro-abortion" crowd...I am speaking to the reasoning come to by the justices of the US Supreme Court making abortion legal.
At this point in time in our country's history, the court with help from present scientific and medical professional opinion, viable life is at 24 weeks of gestation. That is the Law.

Quote:
The Roe majority ruling of 1973 holds that the government has a legitimate interest in protecting potential human life, but that this does not become a "compelling" state interest--overriding the woman's Fourteenth Amendment right to privacy, and her subsequent right to terminate her pregnancy--until the point of viability, then assessed at 24 weeks.
And if anti-abortion forces truly wanted to lower the abortion rate they would would three things. As Europe does with 1/3 the abortion rate.
1 Enact universal health care.
2. Make birth control free and available to all teenagers
3. Provide real sex eduction in Jr. High on up.
This would truly lower the rate.
But the right doesn't want that really....they love the ego boost from pointing fingers and being religious scolds.
Exactly what is "real sex education" and if you had a daughter would you want her being involved in it?

Who says women "rush" to abort?
