It has to stop. Birth control and education yes, but free food? NO. They have to support themselves.

The only answer is the path of God, it's always been the answer. Do not have sex outside of marriage. Respect women, do onto others as you would have them do onto you. Without that the world is misery.

Give them faith, give them education..not free food, not abortion.
Your post is completely devoid of that whole 'do unto others' bit you seem to be so fond of. The irony is strong.

I never got the whole "pro choice" thing. I also question the "safe" aspect of it. Ask someone who works in an OR how many times they need to do emergency surgery related to failed abortions, even at very early stages. Also, I never understood the "none of your business so leave me alone" thing. If Bobby kills Jimmy because he though that Jimmy was sleeping with his woman, none of that is any of my business but should still be illegal and the law should be enforced.

It's a clump of cells, not murder.

Abortion is safe. Mine went off without a hitch.

My biggest problem is that I see no future for humanity. If we take a sterile Petri dish with the right agar and touch it with our finger and then incubate the dish for the right amount of time; bacteria colonies literally eat themselves to death. I have come to the conclusion that we are no smarter than the bacteria in that Petri dish. All of our eggs are in this one basket. If a asteroid strikes Earth; it could be all over and we could say the same for a massive solar flare. At least the bacteria did not worry about the end!

Thumbs down Twisting my words to fit your agenda.

Sounds a lot the same. Except far more have been killed by abortion.
Sounds a lot like your bias is showing.

Oh, please, do tell us about all of those botched abortions where women end up in the ER afterward. Since you claim it happens "many times" I'd like to see some statistics to prove your point.

Now if you go back pre-Roe v. Wade days I'm sure there are thousands upon thousands of such horror stories, and it seems you would be happy to return us to those days. Too bad for you, the women in this country will not allow it.

I've never understood why people can't seem to distinguish a zygote or a fetus from a living, breathing, autonomous human being. It's really not that difficult of a concept, yet again and again it needs to be explained to people who simply cannot grasp that concept. Why would we allow people with such obvious lack of intellectual acumen make decisions about what other people can or cannot do with their bodies when they themselves can't even tell the difference between a cluster of cells and a live human being?

Religion is the problem, not the answer. People who believe in a "sky fairy" cannot have rational thought.

Pro-choice.

I had an abortion. Hardest thing I've ever done, and I'm pretty sure I'd never do it again. Women, however, should have the right to choose.

I'm sorry, but I find it especially egregious when a man says it's wrong for a woman to choose abortion. I'm pretty damn certain that if these men could get pregnant, they'd be singing a different tune.

There may be other times as well when I can understand the reason for it, so I guess I can't say I am 100% pro life. Isn't this the way many of us feel about a lot of things? Most issues are not black and white.




There's a heck of a lot of gray in the real world.
