I can appreciate your point of view Tyler. My post on page one covers rape, incest, etc. I can sympathize and understand arguments in those extreme and very minor cases. But that's not the norm nor is it really the heart of the discussion here. We're talking about the wholesale slaughter of babies because people are not responsible and will not take responsibility for their actions.
OK, I just wanted to acknowledge that a one hundred percent ban of abortion in all cases would be inappropriate.
No, getting rid of unwanted fetuses before they become babies is. Unless of course you and all your republican pals want to raise, feed and take care of every unwanted child your desired law forced women to have.
"oops, I forgot my condom. Oh well, we can murder the kid next month." No one forces a man and a woman to have unprotected sex. 5 weeks, a heart beat. I already know your position, yo-yo. Kill all the babies and keep the baby killers, murdrerers, pedophiles, rapists alive. Makes perfect sense
You're being unrealistic. People make mistakes all the time, should one mistake as a teenager force you to drop out of school and work full time for minimun wage to raise a kid you never wanted, with a person you don't really know? What a great society we would have then! People are going to make mistakes. None of your unrealistic views about that are going to change that fact.
There's quite a bit of people out there whom want to raise a baby but can't....the demand is extremely high.
You going to tell me a 15-16 year old girl who doesn't want to carry a baby for 9 months, go throug the anxiety, pain and risks, to give it up for adoption, is selfish?
I'm 99% sure that the "demand" for adopting babies doesn't come close to meeting the amount of abortions that performed each year. PS: Angelina doesn't seem to be having any trouble adopting all the babies she wants.
All of those things you listed can apply to any animal. Is there anything in the womb that makes a foetus human?
Perhaps some thought should go into having sex and what the consequences are with having unprotected sex with a person you don't really know. And your solution is to murder babies for people's mistakes. Murder the baby. After all, he/she can't fight back from the womb. What a manly thing to do
Yeah there is a demand for white babies, if abortion was illegal there would be huge amount of new minority babies. Jeez that is a lot of abortions, they should give out Norplant with every welfare check
Don't hold them accountable at 15-18 and then expect them to be accountable for their actions later in life? Talk about filling up prisons. What ever happened to education? Now I see why you act the way you do - not held accountable for your actions. Go back and read what I wrote about my oldest son.
There's a reason you're not considered an "adult" with certain rights, until your 18 years old. Because you're not OLD ENOUGH nor do you have enough experiences in life to take care of yourself and be responsible. You don't need to bring personal insults to the conversation, especially since you know nothing about me. I could make plenty of assumptions about you and throw insults as well, but I'm not. What about it? Did I ever say that every 16 year old girl who's pregnant should have an abortoin? NO I DON'T BELIEVE I DID? If she wanted to have the baby, and she took care of it, thats GREAT! I have nothing against that!So what's your point?
If you can fill your car up with gas and drive, I submit you can put a helmet on your soldier before sex. One takes 30 days of training and months with a learners permit before getting a license, the other takes about 2 seconds to think and takes no special training. I don't consider murdering babies silly. Some may, but I do not.
Dazed and confused? Actually I was so bored I took a nap for a couple hours. None of Gtech's reasons against abortion hold any ground with me, at all. He's silly to believe that 15 year olds as a majority are smart enough and responsible enough to use protection all the time. Not to mention, condoms don't always work, they break, the slip off, and the leak. With a 99% success rate, thats 1% of all sex that could lead to pregnancy even when using condoms. 1% might not sound like alot, take and multiple it times the millions of people who have sex everyday and it is. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/abortion/article_em.htm That's 1.4 million new babies every single year you want a law to force someone to have: Are you (the republicans) willing to shell out billions of dollars to feed them? Can we say welfare time? Better get your checkbooks out and start coughing up some more money! That's not all folks, since the majority of abortions are from poor white girls, the most likely have no medical insurance! So, add another $10.5 billion to cover those medical costs to your tax bill. Also... do you plan to make giving up an unwanted baby for adoption legal and easy for everyone? I'm pretty sure there isn't enough demand to adopt 1.4 million more babies every year, so what do propose for them? Who raises them? Government programs? Joy! Keep your checkbook out, your taxes are skyrocketing!
