Level up: 4%, 49 Points needed | | Let god be thy judge First of all I don't agree with abortion, but the way I see it is the right of the women to choose. Secondly minors should be able to get an abortion without parental consent as there is a lot of broken homes. Lastly "Let God by thy judge". Simple as that, case closed. |

Because for them, in their interpretation of what 'God' should/shouldn't judge, they believe they are in the position to speak for 'God' themselves. As such, they use their opinion of what they think 'God' condones or not is up to them to say and force others to comply to in the regards to abortion.
Despite the fact that even within thier own faith, there are denominations and teachings that wouldn't agree with their interpretation/opinion either. |

Level up: 6%, 23 Points needed | | In their shoes... Since the burden of pregnancy (and ultimately child rearing) falls to the woman, it should be the woman's right to choose. Anti-choice people would do far more for the world if they focused their attention on the living children who exist in depraved poverty or in homes where they are the victims of abuse. Then they might get something done. But no. It seems as though the anti-choice position is to demand the birth of the child and then once that occurs, they decide to wash their hands clean of the matter.
What do they propose we do? Tie pregnant women to their beds and force them to term? It's ludicrous and cruel to judge these women that decide to terminate an unwanted pregnancy when you are not in their shoes. I've seen far too many anti-choice people do abruptly hypocritical turnarounds when their precious daughters become pregnant out of wedlock. |

Level up: 49%, 194 Points needed | | LOL, you think under age children should be allowed abortions without parental consent?? You cant take a over the counter pain pill in school without parental consent. What if there is a infection and the child dies from having the abortion?? I know thats rare, but it does happen. What do you tell the parents of that child then? |

Level up: 57%, 187 Points needed | | That their child decided that it was worth the risks to terminate her pregnancy. What do you tell the parent's of a child who dies from a tonsillectomy? Well, life sure sucks when you get a lot of sore throats? What will the child's life be like if she is forced by her parents to have a baby? You know, not all parents are good parents. And sometimes, unfortunately,teenage kids know better then their parents do. |

But God forbid we try to help children understand that they shouldnt be having sex till they are responcible enough to have it. Right? You obviously dont have children, cause if you did, you would throw up at the thought of the state having more control over your children than you do. Let alown letting PP have more say over your child than you do. |
