Wouldn't a woman who has had an abortion be pro-abortion?

She was pro-choice until she made the choice.

I respect the right to choose, I don't think it is something that I would choose.

I have a question. ABSOLUTELY NO DISRESPECT INTENDED.

Even if it's not something you would choose, does it bother you at all that other people choose it?

odd ain't how the neophytes want to control every bodies life. Be it in the middle east or the middle west.

maybe some day people can have honesty, truth in their postings instead of propaganda and agitprop. But I do not expect that any time soon from the "anti choice" side. Their play book is the same as Goebbles. And that ain't very pretty.

no shit.
That aspect of religion creeps me out. When they think they are so righteous and moral that they should control personal morality. Zieg Heil Jebus!

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.

Thank you for your anti-christian bigotry.



But let's be honest. It's not about controlling other people's bodies. It's about the fact that abortion kills babies.

Isn't lying a sin? A "baby" is not a zygot any more than an acorn is a tree

Actually it is very much about the woman's body and privacy in regards to said body.

I wouldn't want anyone telling me what I can or cannot do with my body because that would limit my personal freedom way too much.

It really is that simple and we are better off as a society because of it.

In YOUR opinion.


But you refuse to acknowledge the FACT that abortion kills babies.

We are killing something. I don't think just because you want it to call it a baby it makes it a baby. I can call a seed an apple all day long, I'm still going to be hungry at the end of day.

As we have seen in war, death row, and on the dinner table, killing isn't always immoral.
