In 1954, Joanne Schiebel was a young unmarried college student who discovered that she was pregnant. In the 1950s, her options were limited. She could have had an abortion – but the procedure was both dangerous and illegal. She could have gotten married, but she wasn’t ready and didn’t want to interrupt her education. Joanne opted, instead, to give birth to the baby and put him up for adoption.
And so it was that in 1955, a California couple named Paul and Clara Jobs adopted a baby boy, born out of wedlock, whom they named Steven. Choose Life.
Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs.
I often wonder if the person who would have discovered a cure for cancer was aborted? Maybe the person who would have been able to discover a way to feed the hungry of the world was flushed down the toilet? Could the next Beethoven or Rembrandt have been lost on an abortionists table? One thing I know for sure, millions of children never had the chance to feel the sun on their face, pick dandolions, eat ice cream, go to school, grow up and fall in love, or have children of their own. Millions of children lost 80 years of life to spare a woman a few months of pregnancy. If people really can not understand how unspeakably tragic this is then they are choosing not to understand.
sorry, but a fetus is not a child and NATURE itself kills more fetuses than manually done abortions.
If you have anyone to criticize, criticize that imaginary deity in the sky you all hold dear, since "he" pretty much made abortion possible. And if "he" wanted no one to die, "he" wouldn't have invented death.
And both Saddam and Jobs were given the choice of LIFE to make their OWN decisions. It doesnt cut both ways, your argument is pathetic.
You people are against giving all a chance, just a chance to live. A chance to contribute, live, laugh, love. Not all will make the best of their lives but at least give them the friggin chance to.
and to do that you would take a way the rights of women. You would have the federal government force them to allow something to use their bodies against their will.
You people are pathetic. In no other sitaution would you have the government force a US private citizen to support something with their very being, but hey they are women I guess they don't count as full citizens.
I choose life, it's not who they will be but that they get the chance to be.
Then, should you ever find yourself pregnant, don't choose to abort.
Until then, it's not up to you to decide what someone wants to do with their body.
Let me put it this way in 1991 crime rates peaked and by 2001 they had fallen by 35% and they continue to decline. 1991 is when the the first people born post Roe v. Wade started reaching their late teen years (their criminal prime). Roe v. Wade, along with increasing numbers of police and stricter sentencing laws caused crime to decrease dramatically. The fact is Roe v. Wade and allowing women a choice has been one of the best unexpected crime prevention policies ever adopted by the US.
You have no proof of this. NO ONE has proof of this. It's all speculation. So why would you use it to support your assertions?

How many women have you impregnated? You could have made thousands of babies that could cure cancer. This is a ridiculous hypothetical thread.
Exactly. One of the 50+ million babies aborted in the past 38 years could have found life on another planet, discovered a cure for cancer or for deafness, blindness, Alzheimer's, etc.
Yes, quite possibly - but we'd never gotten there, because if the remaining 49,999,999 unwanted pregnancies had been forced upon all those women to be carried out against their will, our nation would have come to a grinding halt decades ago from trying to support the 99.99% of unwanted births that have less than stellar outcomes - it would have been a multiplication of the poorest underclass of our nation, since many women who could have gone on to educate themselves and become contributors to society instead would have had to become wards of the state, along with their not-exactly-Steve-Jobs-genius kids.
Stop eating processed foods and pesticides, and watch your likelihood of getting chronic/terminal illnesses change for the better.
The last I checked, we are in no dire need of re-population.
