When is it considered a baby?

Yes, I agree. If he's smart, if they're smart, they'll take proper precaution. To be honest though when I was a young man I had a rule to never spend that type of time with a woman unless she was someone I'd be willing to marry, and knew she'd marry me if she became pregnant. And noone was more into women than I was, I just believed in waiting for the right one(s). Quality over quantity, as they say.

Well maybe the President or the DOJ will step in to save the women.

Would it really hurt the Dems to at least be consistent on sanctity of life issues?
And so you believe quite passionately that a law absolutely must be passed requiring all pregnant women to give birth?

Hell, why not just let nature take its course. There's such a controversy about whether an unborn baby is human with human rights. Why not just let each instance prove itself out. If any given pregnancy does not result in a human being then the fetus is not human and has no human rights obviously. If it does result in a human being then apparently it is human and has the same rights as any other human being.

I'm sure that pregnant women are horribly inconvenienced by pregnancy. Victims of murder are much more inconvenienced. They lose all of their options. A woman with an unwanted pregnancy has the option to give the child up for adoption and can move on with her life thereafter. A murder victim isn't so fortunate. If a person is okay with ending one life because its existence is inconveniencing somebody (pregnancy), they shouldn't get all up in arms about ending the another life that has proven to be a much greater inconvenience (murderers.)

And sure, as somebody pointed out, there are Democrats who support capital punishment. The crusade against capital punishment is still almost entirely a crusade being waged by liberals.

Cases of rape, when the mother's life is in danger or other similar circumstances, I'd say the practice of abortion can be tolerated. That accounts for about 3% of all abortions annually.

Read my status.
Don't want abortion, don't have one.
But you don't get to decide what I do with my body.

So, if you have cancer or any other growth, I get to choose if you can have surgery.
Right?

Some posts are so moronic, I don't know where to start critiquing.

They tried it. Don't like abortion? Don't get one.

how cavalier. most women who give a child up for adoption can not just forget they have a child "out there somewhere" cavalier as well to suggest for someone with an unwanted pregnancy to just go awhead and give birth. there is a segment of women who abort that do so due to economics. a pregnancy would put their jobs and or family in financial jeopardy. as to the comparison of victims of murder you need a dictionary.

A question for you:

Why should the government make the decision on what a woman does with her body? Why should the government have that kind of power? Does the government get to speak for the unborn? Why?

(In China the government speaks for both the child and the mother by ordering abortions. Is that the power the government should have?)

Lightbulb Ohio Extreme Anti-abortion Bill HB 125 May Be Revived


So, the GOP interprets the election results as a green light to ramp up the war on women.

Oh, well...

Convinces me I was right to abandon that party.
