Mr. President, as you speak at Notre Dame today, you will be looking out on a group of young women who are approaching their prime time for child-bearing. Now flash forward 10 years, two of those young women are your girls. Imagine one or both coming to you to say, "you were going to be a grandfather, but I aborted the baby."
In that crowd of young women, some are going to do exactly that to their parents. Just imagine a grandparent's pain....
Lets stop unwanted pregnancies, but not after the fact.
I'm sure the president would do as any good christian would and offer support, care and understanding for a person who has made a difficult decision.
I AM entitled to my opinion and I am among the 50% of Americans (yes 50%) who support banning abortion in most cases. We have the right to work to have the laws changed just as much as you have the right to support them as they exist.
Don't suggest I don't have a right to an opinion. In this country, your vote and my vote count the same. My vote for pro-life politicians counts the same as your vote for pro-choice ones. Period. Deal with it or leave the country if you don't like men being permitted to vote. I should also remind you that it was men on the SCOTUS who gave you the right to an abortion.
FYI - if you could have a rational dicussion with me as a human being, I'd be more than happy to. But spew venom at me and you shall receive venom in return. I'm actually generally a very fair poster and most people on here (even on the left) will tell you that. You simply have to be polite and show some respect.

Don't you DARE suggest I don't have a right to an opinion. DON'T YOU DARE!
You feel women are better than men and that's fine but don't spew your vile hateful crap at me.

Well you just go ahead and try to change the laws....and, if by some miracle(or takeover by a Facist regime), abortion is outlawed,
then you and your fellow misogynists can dance the Happy Dance and wring your hands in glee knowing that somewhere there is a woman dying of a botched abortion.....and women having children they can't afford....and 11 year olds having their own father's baby.....

GOSH! Think how HAPPY you'll be!!!
You don't know me, so don't call me a misogynist. The chance that abortion will ever be outlawed nationally is slim to none, but there is a chance that Roe v. Wade would be overturned and states would be permitted to ban abortion if they chose. Some states would, some wouldn't.
Those aren't the consequences I want. I do support the right to an abortion in some cases. I also support promoting contraceptives and making them more widely available, along with making adoption a more viable option.
