And, no, YOUR words must be seperated from the QUOTED POSTER'S words.....

... indicate through quotation marks or statements saying the Bolded Part is theirs or there is no way to tell your stuff from the other poster...maybe the mods can help?!
I know from reading other people's answered posts for years. Is that good enough? I can understand when other people reply and I think others can as well. It's just part of posting online.

EVERY pro-life person is saying that the woman who seeks an abortion is stupid, irresponsible or immoral. That's the crux of your argument. If someone is taking advantage of someone else, the person being exploited is being stupid. You are saying that these women are too stupid to realize they are being exploited, so you, the pro-life people have to protect them.

They aren't being exploited. They are doing what they have to do. They have reasons for not wanting to be pregnant, for not wanting to have another child. Until you, the pro-life people, start understanding the reasons, start solving the problems, then women, smart, responsible and moral women, are going to continue to choose to have abortions. They won't be happy about it, it's a terrible choice. But they make the choice because the alternative is even worse.

Abortion is not big business. It's not a huge money maker. Dentists make more money that abortion providers.

I would say most teen girls can be exploited. Yes, I am saying that. They do need people around to protect them and it should be the parents until the parents do the exploiting like dragging her to get an abortion without her consent.

If you don't believe abortion is a huge money maker than don't look at the homes the people who work in the industry live in. 2 and 3 homes on top of their main home.

I'd really like to see proof of both of these assertions.
And specific to #2, I'd really like to see proof that all of this money is derived solely from performing abortions and not from any other OB/GYN services.

Oh, and nice job side-stepping the issue of whether or not WOMEN are being exploited.

No one said they were in favor of war and people using this ploy are just diverting the discussion on abortion.

Watch the documentary I posted. You say you want to know but you won't look at it.

I believe women, teens and all females are being exploited. I am not saying they are stupid though. Those are your words.

It is an interesting coincidence that it aired just before the PBS documentary on Prohibition. That was enacted in response to single issue politics and tried to legislate morality.

Some on here are saying EVERY PRO-LIFE PERSON. Sorry, I am just following suit and I shouldn't.
