So for those of you who can put 2 and 2 together... when you have sex (with a member of the opposite sex) you get a baby - sorry but some don't seem to get this.
When we make a choice, and having sex is a choice we accept ALL consequences of that choice.
Eventually, as we realized that as slavery is morally disgusting, we will come to realize that abortion is too.
Just because the government says its ok doesn't make it right anyway.
please
January 23, 2009, 10:12am (report abuse)Funny that you call yourself freedom first but you want to take away my right to do with my body what I want. Doesnt sound very free
wow
January 23, 2009, 11:13am (report abuse)It's funny that you bash other people about taking away rights from others when you are for something that would take away the rights of an unborn,innocent child.

January 23, 2009, 12:13pm (report abuse)Dear Please,
You are more than welcome to do with your body as you please, so am I. So if I decide to get sloshed and get in a car and run over a few people its no big deal I was just drunk. Opps.
People have to take responsiblity for their actions. If you don't want to get pregnant. Do do what it takes or take precautions. Keep in mind that no precaution is 100% effective.
Once you get pregnant it isn't just your body, its yours and someone elses. Being willing to rid your self of the the person inside you is nothing more than premeditated murder otherwise.
I know this is hard but follow the logic.
1. you chose to have sex
2. you get pregnant
3. you decided to terminate the pregnancy
You knew that there was a possibility of getting pregnant from having sex.
You are guilty of premeditated murder.
Simple
The fact is you have choice whether you have sex or not.

January 23, 2009, 8:13pm (report abuse)Our country's highest elected office-holder has just made any arguments over H.R.227 INVALID, because by the actions undertaken earlier today by that individual, that resolution would be VETOED. The Constitution DOES NOT authorize that person's action, OR IN-action, on this particular issue. Has anyone ever heard the term "high crimes and misdemeanors" in relation to such things? Get a copy of The Constitution, and read it, to determine for yourself whether that person, or any other in that capacity, is allowed to do such a thing.

Assuming a woman is raped and a child is concieved what is your view on abortion then, since it is very obviously NOT a womans choice?

I have asked my Wife that question...she said she would raise it as her own.
it's over your head
March 9, 2009, 4:42pm (report abuse)And a man faces no consequences?
A baby is not a consequence or punishment. You can advise women to not abort but you cannot FORCE them. Even God gave humanity free will - why would you supercede that?
It's not a question of a right or wrong choice - it's a choice. Abortion is unfortunate but forcing a woman to become a mother as punishment for her sexuality is worse.
Forcing a nation to bend to your religious ideals is worse.
Please, if you'd like to stop abortion but your efforts towards programs that would give women MORE options. Not fewer.
Bush...lol
March 17, 2009, 8:40pm (report abuse)What if I told you there was a perfectly RATIONAL and FACTUAL reason against abortion. No religious crap, no ethical or moral hogwash, just brutal reality. I am willing to set aside political and cultural differences to give my reason, only if you will return the favor and think about this:
Almost 40million potential lives (meaning a life they wouldve led)have been aborted since Roe v. Wade. 40million potential lives that could have been prosperous citizens contributing to society, the economy, and the world. Some could have been world leaders, scientists, and businessmen/women. But for 40million potential lives, they will never have a shot at life.
Pure facts, non-negotiable. Note the lack of, but its a little baby or it is still a human (which it is, look it up for yourself, life begins from fertilization)
Hypocrites! You want to give yourself a choice, but deny the right of a live to 40million? They dont even get a CHANCE much less a choice. I hope you sleep well
