Can I start making medical decisions for you too?

Pro-abortion? That term doesn't bother me. I'd wear that badge proudly.
Unless the woman's life is in danger or unless she has been a victim of rape, a woman should bare the consequences of her actions. Anyone who has sex and believes that pregnancy would not occur is only deluding themselves. Why should a defenseless baby suffer so a woman can avoid inconvenience?

Don't copulate and you won't get knocked up.

If it were her body, the fetus would have her DNA, but that is not the case. He or she has their own unique biological composition. Sometimes the fetus is male. See the problem with the "her body" argument?

I'm just going to stop.
Neither one of us is going to change their opinion.

We can keep going back and forth but I'll always be pro-choice and damn proud of it too.

Keep living in your misogynistic world of anti-choice and thinking all women who have abortions are murderers.
There are much more important things to worry about.

Once a month a woman kills cells whether she wants to or not. Every time a man ejaculates the cells die except for the one that makes it into an egg.

Where is the cutoff? Do we want to control how people have sex now too? We wouldn't want to waste those living sperm cells for no reason?

These are the building blocks of life and people should be able to control their own bodies. I can see the cutoff being about 21 weeks. I think it's crazy for a girl in Junior High to be forced to become a mom just because she is phyisically capable of having a child.

At what age do kids(or any living organism) even remember things? I know it's not 22 weeks, their brains aren't developed enough to to anything. At that age the heart is what is keeping it alive.

Abortion is no more an act of murder than if a woman has acupuncture, acupressure, or reflexology to induce a miscarriage.

A woman who does not wish to continue a pregnancy will find a way, regardless of the preposterous legislative steps thrown in front of her.

This is yet another stupid, sexist law (like the ultrasounds in OK) that assumes a woman is not intelligent enough to know what it is she wants.

Yes ... There are more important things to worry about. The fact that millions of defenseless babies are aborted each year is really a trivial matter in the light of more urgent concerns of today.

Oh, the great making-a-woman-stay-pregnant-is-the-appropriate-punishment-for-having-sex argument. Only women who are willing to give birth should have sex. Got it.

And someday you might realize that a woman's life is in danger from every pregnancy and sometimes it isn't obvious until she just about dead. Other times the baby has already been born when the mother dies. Talk about deluding yourself......

OK, one down.

Now are you contending that it is not human (think before you answer) or that it is not alive?

Review the tread before you answer if you need to.

22 weeks...not only do we have to worry if any one will close our eyes when we die late in life...I wonder if any one cared to close this babys eye..certainly not the mother..or the abortionist.
