Neb, I am a liberal and I do not think woman are property. Liberalism has nothing to do with this so please don't compare here. Thanks.

You liberals spout the same shit over and over again! Well if we ban abortion it will be like setting women's rights back a hundred years. You are all broken records. It's barbaric and sensless that we continue this slaughter because the two just cannot keep it in their pants. You reep what you sow. Now get that through your head you fucking moron.
Yes, I see what you're saying: WOMAN IS PROPERTY
Indago, I'm convinced that you just escaped from an isane assylum. How in any way did I consider a woman property? This is a liberal at his best, twisting someones words to make it fit their agenda, quite pathetic Indalgo. I consider abortion unjust murder so in doing so I consider women property only a liberal can come up with that kind of absurd logic.

Get a clue, Indalgo.
Yes, you've already made your point, and I can see what you're saying:

WOMAN IS PROPERTY
Just what I thought you have absolutely no argument. Game, set, and match.

If we outlawed abortions crime would go back up. I just read an interesting book about this and will try to post some quotes from it later.

We live in a safer, more moral society because of abortions.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

I remember seeing a poll on Fox news that the support of Abortion has dropped to only 52% which is a huge decrease from a decade or so ago. All I can say is were making progress.

A poll on Fox...

Wow, that is a very trustworthy source. It's not like Fox has any sort of ulterior, right wing biased motives, after all...

Anyway, if the government stopped with this whole "Abstinence Education" BS, there would be fewer abortions.

Instead of illegalizing abortions, we should be trying to reduce demand. If we illegalize them, and people still want to have them, nothing changes, except things are much, much less safe.

Okay so you see Fox News at an un-biased source for right wing spin, that is your choice. However, prove it to be wrong I brought it up on a site that is dedicated to taking down Bill Oreilly and Fox news and yet none of them second guessed it. Give me a poll from an un-baised sourse that can prove me wrong.

If the couple would try protescted sex, abstenice, or taking responsiblity than there would be no need for abortions at all. If someone wants to risk their life getting an unlawful abortion than I would have absolutely no sympathy for them. The quicker we end this travesty that better off we will be.

Um.
Not to but in the middle of this, but this web-site has a variety of abortion issue polls. Kind of a polling summary web-site.
Most have a variety of possible stances...
Not sure if this helps anybody...

Great polls. It really seems that America is pretty liberal towards it's views on abortion. And the majority women in this country probably have a lot to do with it.

Actually, I am saying that Fox News is biased. I really don't care what people on another site considered the source. Popular opinion of a site that I have never seen doesn't make anything more valid.

I think Hev's link is pretty comprehensive. I generally consider polls to be unreliable, since they are easily manipulated.

People generally get abortions when there has been an accident. I'm sure there are probably one or two insane people that get abortions as a form of birth control, but really, getting an abortion is a life-altering, painful decision. It's either get an abortion, or give up your life.

Where is the consequence for the men? Men can't get pregnant, so I can see why you'd have no sympathy. You don't have to do anything.
