I think it will be a non-issue in the future. The idea of getting pregnant accidentally will be as remote as accidentally flying to the moon instead of New York. And any problems with a pregnancy in the future will be repaired in the womb within the first month, any genetic defects ect will be 100% identified and cured with increases in technology. Most diseases will be wiped out before they start.

Abortion will one day be seen as appalling as slavery.


While there is no comparison between the two examples cited in the quote above, I sincerely hope that this statement proves to be accurate.

What about women who are forced to care for their 2-year old toddler against their will? Why not just kill the child? Why does murder have to be the answer for not wanting a person in your life? What about middle aged people who have elderly parents that are a burden to them. Why not euthanize them? In fact some extreme liberals have actually suggested legalizing euthanasia of the elderly and mentally retarded.

And yes, I know anybody who questions the ethics of abortion on demand is a backwards, ignorant hillbilly who hates women and needs to be shipped back to Neanderthalic times so you can spare me that lecture.

No it won't. Not ever. What probably WILL happen is people with too much time on their hands will be forced to focus on things that aren't up inside someone else. Stuff that needs attention. But it probably will take something horrible for them to do it since they seem to have their heads stuck up...well...you know.

It's hard to accept that you can't control everything, but you can't.

Once these neanderthals who want to control and legislate a woman's vagina die out. Then the anti-abortionist movement will die a slow death. They continue to fight a losing battle, clinging to their insecurities. The days of you controlling other people are coming to a close. I expect to see more threads like this as they grow more desperate in their losing fight. Abortion is necessary and making it illegal doesn't make it go away.

The shroud of secrecy around the unregulated abortion death clinics is starting to tear.

Once the American people have access to see what actually goes on at these places, the less support abortion will have.

I expect that as we progress as decent human beings, and start to bear witness to the horrors of abortion mills, the tide will start to turn.

50 years from now, abortion will be looked upon much like the evil that we see slavery as today.
Who is 'Jane Roe'?
'Anonymous no more, Norma McCorvey no longer supports abortion rights

From CNN Interactive Writer Douglas S. Wood (CNN) -- Norma McCorvey won't be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the historic Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
McCorvey is "Jane Roe," the pseudonym she assumed to remain anonymous as the lead plaintiff in the case that legalized abortion in the United States.
"I'm very sad (about the anniversary)," she told CNN Interactive in a telephone interview. "But this year, I've got so much to do, I don't have time to sit down and be sad."
Once an abortion-rights supporter, the 50-year-old McCorvey has switched sides: She's now a vocal anti-abortion activist. She has started a ministry called Roe No More to fight against abortion rights with the aim of creating a mobile counseling center for pregnant women in Dallas."

50 years from now, I would imagine we will have much better methods of birth control so abortion won't be necessary anyway.
Being the male is 50% responsible, why doesn't he get ANY say in the matter?

Abortion will remain necessary and legal until artificial wombs and the ability to transfer fetuses without them dying are developed.

It will never be fully illegal, and should never be fully illegal.

Haven't seen what giving up a child to adoption does to a mother have we? You carrying a child for 9 months, feel it grow, feel it kick and respond to you, see it for the first time, nurture it, and then hand it off cold turkey. Far more traumatic than having an abortion prior to the 12 week cutoff.


Of the people I've known who have done either/or, the effects of adoption are far more traumatic and lasting. It can haunt a woman knowing that she has a child out there somewhere.
