Jump to a conclusion? No, followed your "logic".

IF women are FORCED to have unwanted babies YOU would HAVE to lock them up, pen them up, put them in jail......or they would find away to have an abortion....they have for thousands of years....why do YOU think YOU can stop it???

No it doesn't. It destroys a zygote or an embryo. Both of which are not human.

We were discussing late term abortions....weren't we? That is when abortions are performed due to malformed fetuses.

Fine example of how you people twist the facts.

So....you don't think black women are smart enough to determine whether or not they want to abort.....got it.

Tell me again......who is the racist here?

Sorry, but your UTOPIAN imaginary society doesn't exist.

Responsibility is when a woman , or couple decide not to have a child (an abortion) because they know they can't take care of it. And it doesn't force a woman to go through a pregnancy she doesn't want.

Will you pay for her medical bills, the actual birth (cesarian is not cheap if she has to get one), and the child's care up until he/she 18 years old? If no, then you have no business telling what others can do with their bodies and their money.

No, saying you don't want a penny of your money going towards abortion but being delighted that much MORE than a penny of your taxes goes towards PURPOSELY killing babies and women and children in wars is stupid and hypocritical.






"" We get that you are anti-war(a shallow position if there ever was one).""


DUH! Never ever posted I was anti-war so you LIE!



"""" No "babies, pregnant women, children, or other innocents" are purposely killed using U.S. tax dollars(that has been used as a stategy by other nations - in several wars - but not by the U.S.) - tragedies happen and that is the nature of war. """

Oh, right! The women and children aren't PURPOSELY killed...but they're DEAD all the same! I know YOU call them "collateral damage" but I call them LIVING humans.

Nope, lying again! I said you have NO knowledge of history and I have been proven correct.

The parents should pay for the medical bills and the child's care up until he/she is 18 yrs old - that responsibility became theirs when they chose to make the mother pregnant.

If they choose not to do so - then their are plenty of people who wish to adopt a child.

Terminating that pregnancy is shirking the responsibility that comes with being sexually active - one does not act impulsively - then kill a "mistake".

So - do you support overturning laws against theft, murder, drunk driving, ect...? After all - you seem to think that the effect of making something illegal is to stop the activity entirely, right? We have laws against those things - and none of those activities has ended entirely - nor will they. The idea is that society makes it clear that we do not tolerate those actions - and that is why they are crimes.

The same would occur with abortion - lawbreakers will continue to kill babies - but it will no longer be legally sanctioned. We will as a society - uphold the value of human life - and less abortions will take place - many children will have a chance to live - and we will not be barbarians because we condone the wanton destruction of human life because it is convenient to do so.
