Well, Hell, as full of hatred and evil the world is, I certainly wouldn't minded having been aborted. For that reason I have no desire to father children into such a world.


By the way, why the heck would I be eager to sign up someone for abortion?` A woman's unwanted pregnancy is certainly none of my business.

I'm afraid there is political demand from Trump's followers for even more insanity from President Trump.

This is really an interesting world view and I don't doubt you hold it sincerely. But by any measure, there has been no better time to be alive in the history of the planet. What would need to change for you consider procreating I wonder?

However, I do think that a person's stance on abortion tends to correlate with a lot of other things, and is an excellent indicator.

It's true that those who are opposed to the individual rights of a woman, tend to have bad attitudes about many other things. Often they stick their noses into other people's business and feel righteous for doing it.

Is not keeping boys from getting girls knocked up an equally big issue? Solve that somehow, and abortion will be a non-issue.

I should have been more clear.
Yes half, literally half of that is due to boys.
Keep the boys from being knockers, and the girls from being knockees.

No.
Yes- Pro choice
and pretty sure the Supreme court already ruled on abortion . So its silly to consider it an issue.

Its only an issue if (someone or some entity) doesn't come to accept the reality of that decision.

Absolutely not.

Many of the "people of faith" around here do, as they go to their $11/hr job with no health insurance in a broken down car while eating gas station food for dinner. It beggars belief.

Hate to burst your bubble again, but many are Pro Life, but realize that the Abortion issue is so emotionally polarizing that it is not the Hill to DIE ON in this political environment. Although the Democrats and MEDIA will tell you all Republicans want to overturn Roe v. Wade. Another LIE.


How's it feel to be constantly deceived?

I am pro-choice up to 20 weeks and then become pro-life. I agree with your point.
