You cannot belittle, ridicule, and dismiss the mention of rape in the abortion debate when it is the pro-lifer extremists who have made such a point of declaring that even rape is no justification for abortion.
If there were only one pregnancy due to rape per one million women, I'd have to be pro-choice. Because societal rape via forced pregnancy that endures for 9 months and culminates in the excrutiatingly painful experience of childbirth, for even ONE woman, is something I will never personally allow.
How does murdering the baby change the horror of rape? Why compound the pain a rape victim suffers by making her murder the baby as well? What did the baby do to be murdered?
You know what? Don't talk to me about the Holocaust. My family is German and I grew up over there, and the immense GUILT that plagued my grandfather and grandmother was immeasurable and to compare it to abortion is an absolutely ridiculous and illogical argument.
The minute someone enacts Godwin's Law is the minute I start ignoring. Have fun with your nonsensical arguments.
3 million babies a year are murdered in America all in the name of "choice." Your fake righteous indignation is transparent.
I am Jewish and I want to thank you for this post. I, too, am appalled at the comparison between abortion and either the Holocaust or slavery.
I am human and am appalled that 3 million babies murdered each year in America is acceptable, all in the name of "choice", yet the holocaust was horrific. Both acts are/were genocidal and anti-human.
Because she is HERE right now. She is physically here. She has relatives and might have other children,friends, spouse, parents and more who would be lost without her. the pregnancy takes place in her body.
There no argument, no doubt that the woman's life should ALWAYS come first.
Ps-Hello Sonrise. Good Afternoon!!!!
Huh? it's all about location? If the pre-born baby wasn't murdered in the name of "choice" she would be "there", wherever "there" is eventually. All life is precious.
And I think forcing women to go through an unwanted pregnancy to make you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside is barbaric.
We all have our opinions.
So, just to clarify, respecting all life, especially the most indefensible, and being against the murder of them is barbaric. Abortion, when performed correctly results in death 100% of the time. You support this.
The means by which she bacame pregnant was important enough that the attorneys who took it to the Supreme Court told her to lie.
You offer no evidence for that at all. The Supreme Court decision meanwhile presumes these facts...
Roe alleged that she was unmarried and pregnant; that she wished to terminate her pregnancy by an abortion "performed by a competent, licensed physician, under safe, clinical conditions"; that she was unable to get a "legal" abortion in Texas because her life did not appear to be threatened by the continuation of her pregnancy; and that she could not afford to travel to another jurisdiction in order to secure a legal abortion under safe conditions.
Despite the use of the pseudonym, no suggestion is made that Roe is a fictitious person. For purposes of her case, we accept as true, and as established, her existence; her pregnant state, as of the inception of her suit in March 1970 and as late as May 21 of that year when she filed an alias affidavit with the District Court; and her inability to obtain a legal abortion in Texas.
She is pregnant, does not want to be, and is prevented by Texas law from obtaining a legal abortion. End of story. How she may or may not have become pregnant doesn't enter into it.
