| Best decision she ever had? Murder is always the best decision you can make... Godbless, Tadpole. “I am a Republican. I\'m loyal to the party of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. And I believe that my party, in some ways, has strayed from those principles, particularly on the issue of fiscal discipline.” -John McCain "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution.

It is as much murder as an egg is a chicken. It is a hard decision non the less but ultimately turned out to be right thing for my mother, her future and mine. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

But deep down you know you're endorsing and promoting the killing of pre-born babies. Nice job, Mister Compassionate Liberal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Zygote ... fetus ... chicken/egg ... Come on! Take a moment to think about it. If a corn seed germinates and grows a while there will be a small corn plant. There is no corn yet because the plant is too young but the age of the corn plant does not negate the fact it is a corn plant. Take a piece of its leaf and smash it up so DNA can be extracted from the cells; run a gel electrophoresis on the DNA and compare it to the DNA of a mature corn-bearing plant. Both samples have DNA of corn. The sample from the immature plant does not have DNA of something else such as bluegrass or zoysia or soybeans: it is corn and it is separated from a mature corn plant by nothing but time. A zygote is a human. It has the 23 pairs of human chromosomes and all it needs to do is grow until it becomes a mature human. I felt sad when I read your perspective, Hevusa. I understand that justification helps us cope with things and I understand the veneer is thin. I am not saying anything against you or your mother; I am saying I understand the attempts to justify things that trouble us in later years. Regarding India's policy, as mentioned in the first post: It seems the one child birth policy in China has come around to bite them in the rear. People needed a male child to help the family work, so there were (reportedly) many female babies left to die or abandoned so the family could try again for a son. This has caused the male/female ratio of China to become skewed, and might be some of the same reasoning behind the new law regarding aborting females in India. Government intervention caused the problem in China, and may have done the same in India (I'm not familiar with any policy India may have had regarding birth numbers); 'fixing' the problem by more government intervention will likely just make it worse in some other way. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Yes, I believe the killing of pre born babies is a critical personal freedom to preserve. Same as I believe that killing and eating animals should be available as an option for people. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.

I feel sad when people's personal religious beliefs makes them want to control other people. I have no problem with people killing something that is inside their own body. I think abortion is a critical personal freedom to preserve and I do not view it as murder during the first trimester or second for that matter. The world certainly doesn't need more people. My mother has never felt the need to justify her actions to anyone. She was able to provide the kind of life she wanted for me because of her abortion and it was absolutely the right thing to do. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond.
