My opinion on on abortion has not changed, I believe that it should not be used as a method of birth control. As I have stated in topics before I believe that abortion should be illegal except in the cases of rape, incest and to save the physical health of the mother.
Furthermore it would not be me condemning the child to anything. Again, part of being an adult is accepting responsibility for your actions. If you do not want a child, and you know that there is no 100% effective method of contraception other than abstinence, then you shouldn't be having sex. It is simple.
Why should we allow someone's self-gratification, and that is what sex is when its purpose is not for procreation, to trump one's right to life??? If self-gratification is that honored, then why is rape illegal???? Rape is nothing more than a man, or in some cases a woman, fulfilling their self-gratification.
I am tired of hearing the pro-choice lobby saying that abortions should be safe, rare and legal. Their own actions betray their words. If they wanted abortions to be rare, why have they opposed late-term abortions???? Was that not what Roe established, see even pro-choicers wish Roe overturned. If they wish for abortions to be safe, why do they oppose parental notification?? Hell in order to get a piercing or a tattoo you must be 18 or have your parents consent. If you need an aspirin at school, you need your parents consent, but if you need to kill life, oh its your right to choose, what crap!!!!
Again if the prochoicers wish abortion to be safe, why do the oppose the 24 hour wait period? Before any surgery that is not an emergency, the patient is presented with all the facts, including what the risk factors that might occur from the procedure. But for the pro-choicers this is nothing more than an attempt to change someone's mind. Hmmm would that be choice by the way????
dmk Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles -Russell Kirk- |
