I corrected it earlier on.

How do you justify killing an adult human and in the same breath think that killing a human fetus is ok?

I'm all for abortions if it endangers the mother's life or if she was raped.

There is NO need for an abortion otherwise. I don't feel sorry for you (NOT YOU specifically, you in general) one bit b/c you couldn't couldn't control yourself with a boy.

It all comes down to responsibility. You can be so responsible in your day to day life, but a boy looks at you and you loose all control? How pathetic. You're going to stand up for your "right" to an abortion yet you couldn't manage to stand up for your "right" to not get pregnant and either use birth control or keep you pants on?

Women are apparently very weak and use the easy way out when they fall for the "lurve" and the hands in their pants. But women are "strong" when it comes to getting rid of their bad choice and future responsibility? It makes NO sense. Your weakness got you into the situation but your "strength" in screaming "I am woman and it's my body and I will have an abortion!"...how convenient. And narcissistic.

The entire premise behind supporting abortion just makes women sound so damn horny, uneducated and pathetic.

Until it's viable, I don't have a problem with abortion.
If a fetus is viable, I'd rather a woman look into adoption.

Of course I'd rather work on preventing abortions unlike those in the anti-choice crowd. They want to decrease access to condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, etc.

I'm against the death penalty and pro-choice.

I've always found it interesting that there are many who are anti-abortion yet oppose universal health care and support the death penalty. How can you call yourself "pro-life" but oppose universal health care and want to kill grown adults?

No one LIKES abortion.

Why can't both sides come together to prevent unwanted/unplanned pregnancies?

There are some "pro-life" groups who have come out against insurance coverage of birth control pills. How can you claim to be against abortion yet you support policies that will in effect increase abortions?

The whole "pro-life" movement just wants to control sex and control women. It seems many see pregnancy as a PUNISHMENT!

"You will have this baby and pay for your mistake you LOOSE woman!"
"Women are so weak and so pathetic!"

The baby is always viable...as long as it's in a uterus that belongs to a woman who doesn't want to abort it.

Yeah I've never met anyone pro-abortion either. It strikes me as extremely ironic that the pro-choice supporters on this board are promoting education and greater access to pregnancy prevention. The pro-life supporters are screaming "murder", and blaming women for "spreading their legs".

Whoa! Don't let your life loving "prolife" colors come out!!!

I know of TWO conservative women who had abortions and I am sure there are many many many more conservative women who have.

And no conservative EVER had an abortion, right? Only liberals.

Come on "prolifers". Admit it. Conservatives have abortions too.
1) Not every Republican is a Conservative.
2) Not every Republican is a right-to-lifer
3) Not every Democrat is pro-choice
4) Not all pro-choicers would support all types of abortion
5) Some oppose abortion being federally funded, but not necessarily for abortion being legal
6) Not all those who support pro-choice, would choose abortion
7) Not all pro-lifers would oppose abortion under certain circumstances

See... it's just not black & white

It is fairly simple. Pro-choicers support a woman's right to determine what is the best decision for her, given her present circumstances. Anti-choice supporters say she has no right to determine what is best for herself, they know what's best for her.
