2. Honestly, you'res spouting bullshit. You're lumping every single member of the movement into the same catagory. I might as well say that everyone who believes in God is stupid, or that everyone that supports the Iraq war is stupid. Obviously, such a generalization is FALSE. The same goes for abortion issues.
3. You are assuming that I believe abortion is the best solution. Frankly, that's stupid. Abortion is the last resort of the desperate. I believe we should try to reduce the number of abortions by increasing education and the availability of birth control, not by banning it. 4. I do not believe that abortion is murder, but it is a surgical produdure, and it is a life-altering action with a risk of severe mental reprecussions... Like regret. Things that can eat at you for the rest of your life. I think abortion is and should be an option, not the only option.
I do support having a waiting period and at least one free counciling session for anyone who is seeking an abortion. However, I belive the decision ultimately should lie with the woman, and not the state. It's none of the government's business, since it is a moral gray area. 5. Maybe not in your mind, but what evidence do you have besides your uncertainty as to where life begins?
6.I commend your personal decisions. I would also like to point out that those decisions were personal. Some people oppose any birth control as vehemently as you oppose abortion. How would you like it if the government made that decision for you?
7. I also assure you that I do not spend any of my time standing on a street corner, shouting for people to get abortions. | 1. Yeah, because heaven forbid, the girl might decide to NOT get a quickie abortion - and the doctor would miss out on that money.
2. I am? You just don't like what I'm saying. I'm not lumping people together. You yourself have stated, clearly, that you think a woman should be able to end the life of her pre-born baby for any reason.
3. WRONG! The VAST majority of abortions are nothing more than post-sexual contraception. They're for convenience. And don't even give me that "rape/incest/health of the mother" crap. All that accounts for a tiny fraction of all abortions. Less than 5%.
4. That's because you're not the parent of a premature child - like one of mine that is now a fully functioning young adult. You keep calling pre-born babies "non-humans" and you are so deluded that you can't see what utter CRAP that is. You only say it to salve your conscience.
5. That's nothing more than you saying that your idea of when life begins is better than anybody else's idea. Clearly, life does NOT begin when a child is born.
6. Thank you. They were ALSO moral and responsible DECISIONS. The government opposing birth control is NOTHING like it opposing abortion. One might keep somebody from getting pregnant, the other ends a pre-born baby's life. Not even remotely the same.
7. You're just doing it here. |
