No, these self-Righteous yahoos lose interest once the fetus becomes a baby and is ex-utero, then it's let them fend for theselves.

Do you think that an abortion procedure should be as casual as a dental cleaning? Don't you think that there needs to be some sort of checks and balances to ensure that the female (AND MALE) are compelled to exercise some personal responsibility to avoid having to kill an unborn child?

And let's all stop this bull**** battle cry "women's health," this isn't woman's health, this is the health of an unborn child.

Again, I am not saying abortion should be outright banned or illegal, I am just saying that this procedure has become a bull**** bailout for irresponsible people who have no regard for their actions and its consequences. You want to be an adult and make a baby, then fine. But the consequences should be a bit stiffer than having to take a day off from the tanning booth to get that nuisance sucked from your uterus.

Well, the kid would be dead. . .so I doubt his agreement would be possible.


Yet there is a lot of evidence to suggest that preventing unwanted kids leads to less criminals, homicides, etc.

I used to be pretty much against abortion until I read Steven Levitt's work on the subject. Now I see that I should set aside my morale qualms for what is better for America/Society/etc

Fine, let's play that game. Let's put our "moral qualms" aside and start exterminating those in our society who perpetuate our society decay, crime, and murders.

Let's get really ****ing proactive, not just killing the defenseless before they are even able to commit crimes, but let's take out their parents, too.

Maybe Germany has some left-over ovens we can lease.

I don't understand why liberals think their pet projections should be exempt from tax. They want to tax fast food products to deter behavior, I say we tax their abortions.

I think all those who are against abortion should be forced to adopt these unwanted kids.

most women do not take abortion casually. we already have regulations on abortions that work fine.
you just saying it is a bull*** bail out for irresponsible people sounds like you want punishment, besides do you really want that kind of person being a parent? who would be the judge of who is getting an abortion for the "right" reasons. I'll take "women's health" off the table for this post but ask what about a woman's right to privacy. why are her choices and reasons any ones business but her own?

I think you should just pay the tax. Taxes are patriotic. So you get to feel patriotic about killing your baby: win win for liberals.

Youtube : "late term abortion," then see where you stand on the issue.

get educated on late term abortions. they are done for medical reasons only and not done for "funzies"
