Let's talk facts!
Whether I would do it or not is not the question, it is a moral question though, read these statistics and tell me why it should be banned when the children that aren't aborted are treated this way?

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.

Just so I understand are you saying that having more abortions will solve these problems? OR are you saying poor people having more abortions solve them?

Not sure what you are trying to say.

I'm not saying either scenario you gave, I am saying that if people don't have the choice, things will be much worse!

So, what you are saying is, "In order to insure that these children never suffer abuse or poverty, let's just kill them instead." Death is better than life? any kind of life?

Ask a paraplegic if they'd rather be dead.

Worse for who? The ones that are killed? or the ones allowed to live?

Let's just kill them?, for me I've never performed any or been involved in any way, have you? It's between the parent's and God not for us or a government to decide!

“So far it has been assumed that the only pregnancies which are aborted are accidental ones and the only foetuses destroyed those whose mothers could not bear the thought of their becoming children. In a just world this would be the case, but the world is far from just. Too many women are forced to abort by poverty, by their menfolk, by their parents. Poverty has many faces; it may be the poverty of the young, the unmarried, the student, the unemployed, the female or a combination of these.” — GERMAINE GREER

Live in total poverty with the "compassionate repulsians" spitting in your face about any kind of help and get back to me.

Here's a test for you. Find anyone who was abused as a child or lived in poverty and ask THEM if they would have rather been aborted than born.

What is a "repulsians"?

Tell me this, would you help save my life if you happened to come up on a couple of guys gang raping me? or would you wait for my parents and/or God to decide whether or not I was worth saving? What if you witnessed a mother beating her 2 year old to death? Would you intervene? Or a father beating his pregnant 15 year old daughter within an inch of her life? Would you feel any responsibility? or would that not be "any of your business"?

Like it or not, Intangible, a woman does not have the MORAL right to kill her unborn baby. It may be legal, but it's not right. She doesn't have that right anymore than she has the right to kill her one year old.

You seem to have some reasoning powers. Why not use them instead of listening to people who feed you lies?

I'd like to know I was one who was involved in saving a life, not destroying one, wouldn't you? We are involved right now. Why not step on the right side and save instead of taking lives?
