A perfect example of someone who feels that their difficult personal choices should be forced on everyone else. "If I believe this way then you must follow my beliefs". Don't forget to make it the law of the land while you are at it. If you are lacking a good example of how to create such a society based on deeply held religious beliefs, then I'll send you information in Islamic Fundamentalists in Afghanistan (the TALIBAN). Now these people REALLY knew how to enforce their religious beliefs on their country! No namby-pambys there. We can start here with establishment of "religious police" to patrol our streets, internet, newsrooms, and courts where they will ensure that Americans follow the dictates of the fascist Fundamentalist Christian Right. All praise the Christian States of America! - Reply to this comment
- Twenty-three years ago I gave birth to a baby girl at 16 weeks gestastion. She was born alive and moving...until the umbilical cord was cut. She looked like a baby (of course no hair yet and the eyes were closed and kind of transparent skin) but you could tell she was a human baby. It was called a miscarriage and I am glad they did not try heroic measures on this child.
I'm against abortion at any stage (once a heart is beating there is life in my opinion). I'm not against the morning after pill but it should not be used as a form of birth control.
However, on the other side of the coin, I'm also against women in their post menopausel years playing around with invitro fertilization and women who take fertility pills and try to carry a litter of 6 babies to term. These women should consider adoption instead. Just my opinion. - Reply to this comment
- rue responsibility is when men and women marry before having ***, and keep them selves morally clean before marriage as God intended. Posted by jredden3 at 12:09 AM : Jul 15, 2007
Hey you "holier than thou" fascist- don't forget the "fidelity in marriage" *** you Christian TALIBAN love to preach. One word for you.... "VITTER". I mean "THURMOND". Oops, I mean "LIVINGSTON". Sorry, I meant to mention GINGRICH. Didn't mean to leave out..... Well you get the idea. Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites who want every one ELSE to live their lives to standards (they want to make LAW) that they themselves do not hold to. Just a bunch of worthless garbage (trailer trash garbage to be specific). - Reply to this comment
- Why am I for abortion? Because I dream that every one of your Far-right "christian" fundamentalist fascists was aborted before you were born. Would have saved us a lot of trouble. However, Since you are "OK" with the death penalty, we still have a solution to the "Christian Fundamentalist Problem". Sieg Heil! Remember now- "What would Jesus do" in response to my proposal? Be sure to be a TRUE Christian and turn the other cheek. Like you are really "good christians" and not just fascist hypoctytes. OOPS - sorry to expose your true nature. ROFLMFAO

- I have a question for all of you who support abortion, especially late term abortion.
Why does the baby have to die in order save the life of the mother? If the baby is late term, just weeks from being born why can it not be delivered and live?

Because late term abortions never occur late enough for the baby to survive outside the womb. That is and always has been illegal. The late term abortions we are talking about in this case are abortions that must be performed to save the life or health of the woman, but are not late enough for the fetus to survive on it's own. In almost every case this is a wrenching decision for the woman because in almost every case these are abortions that are performed on a woman that WANTS to have the baby, but can not because of a medical problem. These are not casual or light decisions and lawyers and religion have no place in them. They should be strictly between the woman and her doctor. If you want to have any religious compassion (something that seems to be missing in all religions these days, esp Christians) then have some compassion for the poor woman who wanted a baby, but had to abort because you had to to save her life or health. That's what most of these type of abortions are. - Reply to this comment
- Abortion "freaks" consider emotional reasons to be a danger to the life of the mother. There are thousands of married couples who are childless and who would adopt those babies in a heartbeat if those women were unselfish enough to have the baby alive and then give it up for adoption. Choice begins with being responsible for your sexual life. True responsibility is when men and women marry before having ***, and keep them selves morally clean before marriage as God intended. Let's get back to basics folks. Years ago, girls did not have babies out of wedlock as often because of the social stigma. Most of those those who did become pregnant gave their babies up to loving adoptive homes. Then society began to accept the New Morality, which is actually the Old Immorality coupled with irresponsibility. Let's get back to basics and do what is right. When you curtail your *** life and use that powerful God Given power of procreation in the proper way, there is so much more joy and satisfaction, because it is the right way, the moral way and the best way.

Any doctor who who is not an abortionist will tell you that to turn a baby in the womb, and then deliver it feet first,(just before killing it) would kill any woman who was truly in some sort of crisis situation. This is silly. It is so rare that a woman's life is in danger in this modern age when the mortality caused by prenancy is almost nonexistant. - Reply to this comment

And I give a rat's as*s about your lunatic (and usually hillbilly racist) opinion.....why? You've never once posted anything worth caring about or listening to anyway, so why should I or anyone else start now? You're a pimple of the as*s of this website.

- No woman ever gets pregnant just so she can have an abortion on purpose.

No, but many use abortion as their main form of birth control.
Posted by Klingon69 at 01:55 PM : Jul 14, 2007
This is what's known as bullsh*it. Most women use birth control such as the pill or condoms and only an infinitesimally tiny percent use abortion as birth control. This misconception (no pun intended) comes from the fact the many right to life'rs consider the morning after pill to be an abortion (it is not) and so count that as an abortion used as birth control. This of course is propaganda and bullsh*it, but they use it to twist their statistics anyway. It's not true however. It is a lie. - Reply to this comment
- I am still trying to figure out how the passage of this law is anti abortion when it only prevents late term abortion which is rare to begin with and allows it when it places the mothers life in jeopardy.This is not political or religious and I am a independent.

Almost exclusively late term abortions are performed on women who want to have the baby, but must abort for health or lifesaving reasons. By taking away the right to abort for health reasons this law endangers the life of the women because it means a doctor will have to decide if a right to life over-zealous prosecutor will be able to send them to prison by getting a jury to believe the abortion was just for the woman's health and not to save her life. It takes the decision of this rare and almost exclusively medically necessary procedure out of the hands of doctors and puts it into the hands of prosecutors making decisions based on their desire to get re-elected, rather then what's best for the woman.
That's how it's NOT anti-abortion, but is actually anti-women's health. It takes necessary and crucial medical decisions out of the hands of doctors, because many of them will be forced to make a decision that protects them from going to prison, but could seriously harm or seriously risk killing their patient, to avoid prosecution by lawyers who actually have no idea if the abortion was to save the woman's life or not, but want to keep their "right to life" voters happy. - Reply to this comment
- I'll say it again: a woman in Louisiana can still kill her baby, she just needs to do it earlier and not wait until the last minute.

- Lets not just crack the skull lets break the legs as well and also let us not to forget to decapitate these defenseless babies! Where Oh where will this stop. Where are the people who would defend these helpless babies? Why would mothers cater to being self centered? Why would the fathers continue to be irresponsible? Where is the consciousness of America? I thought this was the land of the free not the dawn of the dead! Where are the voices to silence these crimes that are horrendous in our generation? Our liberty bell rings with an inscription on it %u201CProclaim liberty throughout all lands and to all the inhabitants thereof." Will America let the Liberty bell ring for these defenseless babies? Is the garbage can the only place for our children%u2019s babies? Some people cry what about the life of the mother. In today%u2019s world that%u2019s like saying how many angels can dance on the tip of a needle. In the world reality we know of the technology health breakthroughs so it would be very rare. We all know abortion caters to choice, the choice of some choosing to be self centered. That%u2019s why the tables, law, should be turned against the mothers for the right of the unborn baby who knows not of someone choice but the right to love and be loved.

- Glad that the sensible people and the Governor made this law to stop this barbaric procedure which has nothing to do with well regulated abortion laws. Yes the Governor is a democrat and the national democrats should sit up and pay attention to leadership.

This is a odd statement coming from someone who claims to be a Palestinian living near the West Bank on a olive farm. - Reply to this comment
- Does it really matter if your a democrat or republican when it comes to killing babies?Perhaps women should use birth control,or keep their legs closed so that they don't get pregnant in the first place instead of killing innocent babies.I used birth control,I have 1 child,and I also had a tubal so I wouldn't have more because 1 is all I wanted.Birth control is free at most health deparments,why don't people use it?
sorry if I sound stupid I just can't make sense of killing babies,when there are other options available to keep from getting pregnant. - Reply to this comment
