I'm a conservative and a Christian. Theoretically, I'm not for abortion.

Having said that, might I add my teen daughter got pregnant and decided to keep her baby. I didn't see ANYONE from the proLife Calvary charging in to help. If anything, she was a little shunned by those who claim to be morally superior.

So, unless someone is willing to put their money where their mouth is, they need to shut up.

I agree with the Libertarian platform. This choice is between the parents and their conscious....NOT the governments business.

When you locate a founding fathers' opinion letter supporting the prohibition of pregnancy termination, let me know

Abortion (albeit through risky procedures) also pre-dates the founding of America.

Lovely.
No wonder the Libertarian Party is largely comprised of adolescent males (or adult males with the minds of adolescents).
Many people consider abortion murder. I am one of them. There is no right to kill another human except in self-defense.

Personally, very much so. I also support overturning RvW and leaving it up to the states, but I am 1000% against a federal law prohibiting it.

It is a state matter not a federal one, that's for certain...

I believe it is a federal one.

If you have a bunch of pro lifers in one state and they all vote to outlaw it, what happens if there is an emergency?

Plus it is intruding into peoples lives. The government will not tell me what to do.

What... the feds don't intrude into peoples lives ?

It's a personal choice and NO Gov agency should have a say in the matter period.

The only justification for abortion in my opinion is if it's absolutely necessary to save a life. Very few abortions are done for that reason, very few...
