Dumb argument. They could also end up being the next Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, David Duke, Jim Jones or any number of common murderer or criminal.

Default Do Republicans realize that if abortion was illegal, the path to socialism in this country would accelerate significantl

Then why didn't this happen when it WAS illegal?

Just because you call it a fancy name does not make it anything but murder of the innocent. You are not pro-choice; you are pro-murder. Doesn't sound as nice, does it?

You do realize that if a woman does not want to carry said fetus she WILL either abort it or attempt to abort it. Either way if she attempts to a fail the child's life would not be worth crap due to the birth defects. If she aborts it and it is illegal more tah likely it will be done in a very unsafe environment which could possibly kill the woman AND the fetus

Sometime I wonder if this is not a ploy to focus on a real non issue during the elections, since after they are over nothing ever changes. The wealthy will ALWAYS be able to get safe abortions and the poor will be stuck with taking care an unwanted child by both the woman and the government

Unless we eliminated the safety net for people who make stupid decisions like having kids out of wedlock or with multiple fathers or when they have no means to support themselves first.

"Tough Love". All the black leaders (and even white leaders) were preaching that in the 1980's. Where did it go?

With the same people that point to blacks as the only ones with the problem of having children out of wedlock. Why does it have to be just the black leaders in the 80's? This is a problem that affects all races and religions to one extent or another

I actually modified my post before you quoted me because it's not just blacks. Statistically, however, minorities are more likely to have a child out of wedlock. That aside, you are correct that it is a societal problem larger than one race. We are all one people.

Now that I thought about, the reason that it seems like the poor have so many abortions is because those are the only ones that are actually tracked. The rich,as one pollster mentioned shuttle their "problem" to their private doctor have it done and it is treated like it never happened.
