If such means being compared to the leftist extremism of the NE and West Coast, damn right we do!

Regardless, there is so much mis-information about "overturning Roe v. Wade" as to be almost laughable. Contrary to the popular belief of some, the said (overturning) will NOT, necessarily, make abortions "illegal." This is a fear-tactic typical of the radical left. All it will do is return the right of the individual states to decide -- thru proper legislative process -- whether or not to allow it, and to what degree it may or may not be allowed/permitted.

"We don't want government telling us what to do, we just want it when we need to dictate what others do."

would be overturned by the supreme court. and its foolish to try to make abortion illegal

the pro lifers mean well and i understand that. but if they would live in the real world and understand why we have it than perhaps they can realize why making it illegal will not help any situation.

I would like to outlaw the irresponsible and repeat offender behavior in these cases. I could name names.....a special relative, but I won't go there.

Pregnancy is not about a woman, it is about a child. Pro choice is about if the mother chooses to carry it to term or to abort the tiny human being. We are a generation that has been blinded and have been lost in translation to what pregnancy means. If more people realized what pregnancy is, what abortion is, then for the most part, abortions would not happen. People can have analogies that if we don't abort, then there will be starving children, or they would grow up to be no good. That is judgment, the unborn are innocent children who have no voice. If you saw the process of an abortion and the end result and what happens to the babies afterward, most people would not even venture there. As a sister to a marvelous human who was born of a sadistically planned rape with her mother only surviving because she convinced her attacker she wouldn't tell, well I am very proud of the person they are and the parent they are. My sibling is good, not a drop of being bad even though someone could say that biologically they are related to a serial rapist therefore they are dark as well! Nope! Children are not mistakes and we should never treat pregnancy as a mistake to a consequence to having sex. So yes, if Texas had laws protecting the unborn, I would be all for it.

Pregnancy is not about the woman? Oh wait, .....that's right....she is nothing more than an incubator.

BTW.....babies are not aborted, fetuses are aborted.

If you educated yourself on the issue, saw an abortion, you would not be writing this. I have and I will never be the same!

I am quite educated on the issue....and for all you know.....I may have had an abortion......don't assume otherwise just because I don't view abortion the same way you do.

Regardless......others should not be denied choice because of YOUR peronal feelings on the issue.

And if you saw how the meat on your dinner plate got there you would be a vegetarian.
