What you have just defined is my stance on abortion.

I think in all other cases, the woman should not be allowed to get an abortion.

Yes, yes, and yes. I said this in another topic, but I think the same goes for abortion as with many other moral issues, and that is the right moral decision is made on a case-by-case basis. Mr. highspeeds may disagree with me, but I would say the option for abortion should exsist, as a right, but I don't believe women should have abortions under other circumstances. (i.e. as a means of birth control)
But it don't take much to get me by
So just booze me up and get me high

Why do you want to control and monitor the mother's relationship to her God? Nothing gives you that right.

It's what I believe. I am not enforcing this in any way. Nor do I plan to walk or join any pro-life groups. It's just what I believe is morally right.

Nothing wrong with that. I could care less if abortion was legal.

I'm glad you want to keep abortion legal.
Some would say bringing a child into this world is morally wrong. But just dangle the heaven carrot and (poof) all life is magically precious.

I'm happy you understand what I mean.

I think the internet is having a great impact on where you get your facts/opinions, and the many of people who "change positions" or take a different approach.

When it comes to issues like abortion, capital punishment, or whatever...it's always good to hear both sides of the story. Even better when it's from nonames on the internet, instead of what you hear on television.

Maybe Jesus would allow abortion in that sense. Who knows...

one of the most important things to look at this issue is whether or not its right or wrong but who has the choice is this matter?

If you make abortion illegal, it will be a repeat of what happened during the acholol ban. People were smuggling acholol when they can and it begain a new kind of crime.

If you make it illegal woman will be in the streets with coathangers like they use to. Which will indanger their lives.

So the real question is who should have the choice? the state or the woman?

There is no way the courts will over-rule Roe vs. Wade because of the fact that about half the population believes that it is the choice of a woman.

I think everyone is intitled to their opinion on this issue. But the only way abortion is going to be viewed as a unmoral act is if you change the hearts of people, not by the law.

One person's beliefs should not be forced on anothers.
Progress this great heresy of decay
