The problem is that abortions are to cheap and easy to get, and seeing as 97% of abortions are performed as a form of birth control shows that the greater majority of woman who decide are simply not ready to have a child, and if that's the case they shouldn't be having sex. After all that's what sex is designed to do; create life.
Sex was designed to feel good. Creating babies was the trick. If sex was like taking cod liver oil, we'd have very few babies.
Neo-Con....No I don't think so. The point I was trying to make is that the deomographic of our society that are hell bent (pardon the pun) on removing a woman's right to choose are the same ones who are frequently big time shoppers of Wallmart, where the profit, in part, goes to pay for abortions in China. I thought that anti-choice advocates were against abortions everywhere...not just in the U.S. Infringing on someone else's rights are fine I guess...unless you yourself have to make some type of sacrifice...even if that sacrifice is something as mundane as cheaper prices.
So let me get this right if you shop at wall mart you will get an abortion?
A woman at thsi pont has the legal right to kill, much as the germans had a legal right to kill within their laws.
Both are genocides, both are defended by saying it was legal.
Why does the woman get to choose the babies destiny?
Why is it that if you want it, it's a baby and if you don't, it's a fetus?
If you were aborted you wouldn't be here... bottom line...

Arguing with someone who is pro-life is like a dog chasing its tail, really. I'm pro choice, and I know I'm not going to dissuade you. But I do take exception to your assertion that a woman's life isn't at stake. Yes, it is. Carrying a baby to term, and then giving birth, is risky business. Take it from someone who has had a baby and developed complications late in the pregnancy. Just because women aren't dying in screaming agony as much anymore doesn't mean that childbirth is on the same level as passing gas. Also, on another front, a woman's life is greatly impacted by the birth of a child, especially if the pregnancy was unplanned.
The woman gets the right to choose the fetus' destiny because she is the one whose body is supporting and carrying the fetus, which can cause health problems to her, among other things. As for me not being here if my mom chose to abort me, I could live with that, because my mother probably made a hard decision and I'd rather not be here than be robbed of a wonderful nurturing mother/daughter relationship or a life filled with neglect. As a child, I would have been devastated if my mom in a fit of rage stated that she didn't want me. But this is all hypothetical because I was planned, I was wanted, I was loved. My mother got a divorce and raised me singly, but I was still loved and wanted and cherished. Not all unplanned pregnancies result in the Hallmark special, where the mother suddenly feels this bond with the fetus, gives birth, and everybody is warm and fuzzy. For some, there is no bond. There is no reason that a child should be born under those circumstances. For those who feel they can handle the unplanned pregnancy, by all means, have the child. For those who don't, I am glad pregnancy termination exists and a woman has a right to choose.
PS - choosing to end a pregnancy is a very difficult decision for a woman to make. I really wish people would stop making it seem like it's right on up there with the difficulty of choosing a dress to wear.
If you are referring to God - yes, you are correct.
I'm not. I'm scoffing at the ignorance of posters.
