abortion and the death penalty... why do Democrats support killing babies but not murderers? (injection, million)

You don't have the right not to be attacked (assuming you're not referring to physical violence.)

Further, you're supporting killing an unborn American. The law is supposed to protect Americans, not tolerate their murder.

Also, regarding your claim that it's "in the Constitution": That's a matter of opinion.

For myself, I do not know if I could have an abortion although I am clearly pro-choice. However, if I was brutally attacked, and impregnated with that rape, I can not imagine that I would be willing to go through nine months of continued hell remembering how I got into this situation and then deliver. It would be a tough decision, no doubt, however I would be grateful for the right to make a decision and have the choice to decide what to do...women have been having abortions for many many years, and will continue to do so, better it be in a sterile environment, without the fear of death or infection with hangers or any other horrifying instrument and without the fear and condemnation of others; my opinion.

They are not "active" because they are enjoying the rights that other woman fought for. You would see how quickly they will become active again if ANY of those right are taken away.

What does being STRAIGHT have to do with it, btw?

Funny how it is mostly men that keep starting threads about abortion? Looks like control issues to me... worry about your own reproduction and leave others to worry about theirs.

My girlfriend enjoys her right NOT to work, and to have me support her. You might think she's old-fashioned. I just think it's love. Mine for her, and her for me.

There are many rights that we do NOT extend to children.

I don't like getting involved in the abortion issue but one time I did blow some minds in a chat room over this comment. They were arguing over abortions while others were arguing over hunting. I asked if anybody thought killing baby seals was bad. Of course they said it was horrible. So I said well maybe they could induce abortions in pregnant seals just a day or two before delivery so they wouldn't be killing baby seals, only giving abortions which was okay.
I think I had alot of people reaching for the prozac that time.

I don't think it is old fashioned, I think do whatever works for you and her.
As long as it is a CHOICE and not that she is not allowed to work (such as women in some middle eastern countries for example).

Baby seals are bludgeoned to death.
No one here has advocated doing that to "babies", although plenty of babies die each year after they are born to someone who obviously did not want them - nor has anyone advocated having late term abortions.

If I read you correctly, you seem to be saying that the two situations are not quite comparable...

[katzenfreund]

IMO, no they aren't comparable. No one has ever advocated beating a baby to death.
Comparing a first trimester abortion to this is comparing apples and oranges.

[saganista]

Exactly...
