This is the gist of my problem with abortion. My right to anything stops where someone else's right to life begins. If the pregnancy is threatening my life, then I have the right to choose to survive but if I can carry to term and then get rid of the unwanted baby, the baby's right to life trumps my right to not have my body used as an incubator. Think about the consequences. For me the consequences are going through a pregnancy and giving birth and going through the recovery. I get out of this by aborting. The baby however loses its life. There is no contest here. In the tug of war between my convenience and someone else's life, the baby wins.
This makes so little sense.
"I can carry to term and then get rid of the unwanted baby, the baby's right to life trumps my right to not have my body used as an incubator"
What do you mean "get rid of"? Kill? Put up for adoption? Leave on a door step?
There's a huuuuuuuge difference between killing an innocent unborn baby for selfish reasons and executing a guilty person who committed a serious crime. Big difference.
Why? That's the problem with abortion. An innocent person is killed, and the killer goes free, sanctioned by law. How unjust and stupid is that?
Women have been terminating thier pregnacies even before there was on law on the book...even before there was "a book".
That is fact, one you may not like, but a fact none the less. Women have almost always had a right to choose until recently. Those are the facts of our world.

I never said kill. In my state, a mother can just leave her baby at the hospital and walk away. The baby will be put into foster care and then up for adoption. No loss of life required.

That doesn't make it right and we're no longer barbarians. Our ancestors also kept slaves. We've had slavery throughout history. That we did it in the past doesn't make that right either. Believe it or not, we do not have to do what our ancestor's did.

So all you want is the state to force a woman to term..OK Just wanted to be clear.

Slavery is against a person's free will. Roe v Wade was a affirmation of a woman's free will. A free will she has had for eons.
A baby is innocent and has not commited any crimes. A person who has committed crimes, particularly really bad ones like mass murder or rape or pedophilia, is deserving of death. The Bible does support The Death Penalty for certain crimes.
You know what the real hypocrisy here is? The liberals who are against the death penalty but totally okay with killing babies. Many of them are also Vegan, putting animals above babies. Many of them don't even believe in God. Talk about backwards thinking, it's like it's coming from another planet.
