Ok well if there is no danger of it being overturned then what other issue is on the table? I am not asking being sarcastic. I really want to know. What other issue other then abortion is in danger of being taken away?

i agree with some of the statement as i have stated on this thread
I am pro sex ed, pro free birth control pro morning after pill. I have no problem with educating dispensing to reduce abortion.

that said if you are pro choice you believe in abortion so you are pro abortion

I would think that the morning after pill could be considered an abortion as some would be pregnant that take it. so now you have just become pro abortion

You ask a good question.
I do not feel it is because the morning after pill removes the egg before it implants in the uterus wall. the egg does not star dividing until then, therefore i do not see it as life until it starts dividing. Some Pro lifers will claim the moment is at conception, i believe it is life when it starts dividing and growing which does not happen until it implants

Well I think the concept of pro-choice is under attack. I know you probably think that is a silly statement, but I don't think anyone has the right to take away decisions that only a woman should make about her own body. It also impacts the future of organizations such as Planned Parenthood, which are seen as abortion mills, but are not. Sorry to cut this short, but I've got kid things to do.

I am also for choice until 3 months into it. After that, I do not believe in it.

And no thank you. I dont want kids. I am already underweight. A pregnancy would be very hard on me and honestly. I want to live my life free. No kids. I care about my career and eventually becoming a millionaire in my life. Having kids would not let me achieve that. It sounds bad but I am young right now and I dont want to get fat and ugly and barfing because of pregnancy. If I eventually want kids, I will do the real "pro life" thing. I will adopt.

And making up our own definitions always makes us feel smart.

I have an unusual last name, people mispronounce it often. I will usually correct them the first and second time then after that just acknowledge that they are only capable of seeing things their way or unable to learn. Once a person even argued that it was ME who was mispronouncing it because he had knowledge of the country of origin and the grammar used there. Well OK. So I've learned to answer to many different pronunciations of my name and it no longer bothers me. Certain people, who prefer to label me "x" or "y" because of their issues don't bother me either. Pro abortion? Pro death? Fine. I can still sleep at night.
