Don't be ridiculous, a dog or a cat have more consciousness than a fetus.

It is the point that the baby was invited into the woman's body, by the woman. Do not think you are the only one effected by your abortion decision.

I am so sick and tired of hearing the anti-abortionists say that women use abortion as birth control! Do you even know anyone who had an abortion? I do, and not one ever thought that abortion was like birth control. They did it because they had made a mistake, and instead of *** up their entire lives because of that one mistake, they rectified it and moved on.
But of course, you don't want them to move on, right? You hate them because they are "sinners" and they deserve all the misery they get. That's what your christian "love" and "compassion" really boils down to.

I happen to know two people who have had abortions and both regret it very much. I also know someone who adopted a baby boy from a teenager who was raped. It's not my place to judge but in the instances I've mentioned, I can only respect one of the girls. Why not "rectify the mistake" by giving the "mistake" to a family who will love it? No, it's much easier to just suck it out of your body and kill it huh? Keep telling yourself it's not a human life if it will make you sleep better at night.

Susan, are you going to ask the babies opinion on the matter of killing it? The baby is right there too, ask it.

"So why can't I kill them, let's say up until the age of 18"

this is how you get disregarded as an idiot.

i know how much extremists want to race past "when the woman's life is in danger" and focus on an admittedly gory medical procedure.

The mind is a drunken monkey.

Bottom line, once again, pro-choice people let anti-abortionists live their lives according to their believes (if you don't like abortion, don't have one), while anti-abortionists want to stop everybody from doing anything they don't like. That's the "land of freedom" for you.

I agree, and if the baby is not pro-abortion then let it alone to live too.

So, bottom line, all you pro-abortion people.

Would you want someone to stick a needled in your brain or crush your skull or kill you in any other manner? It is just a choice right?

If you became an alcoholic, and lost everything you have, you would stay a homeless and a bum forever because you got yourself in that position in the first place, or would you get yourself out of it, and learn from the mistake?

I WOULD STAY THAT WAY IF I HAD TO KILL ANOTHER HUMAN TO FIX MY MISTAKE. IT IS NOT THE BABY'S FAULT THE MOTHER MADE A MISTAKE, WHY KILL IT?

These women made a mistake, and they don't deserve to be miserable for the rest of their lives for it. Those I know had an abortion learned from it.

THE MOTHERS IN THIS SITUATION I KNOW SAID HAVING THE CHILD WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THEM

I guess you are so perfect you never made a mistake in your life, wow, aren't you sooo good and perfect!

GUESSING WILL MAKE A FOOL OF YOU IN THE FUTURE LIKE YOU DID THIS TIME, LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKE.


So you despise them because they commit what you consider murder.

IF YOU READ WHAT I WROTE YOU WOULD SEE YOU JUST MADE A FOOL OF YOURSELF AGAIN.


Do you know that according to PETA activists, you are a murderer responsible for the death of all the animals you eat?

PETA= PEOPLE FOR THE EATING OF TASTY ANIMALS.


Well the fact you consider abortion murder doesn't make it so either.

NO, BUT THE LAW SAYS THAT KILLING ANOTHER LIVING HUMAN BEING IS MURDER. YOU CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, BUT THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH- KILLING A HUMAN BEING IS MURDER.

The writer is right - the court's opinion is paternalistic ***! It's not for him to decide what I'd really want when I'm right here to say so!

f they have an abortion because they made a mistake by not using protection during their "fun"- It is still birth control.

Abortion is a constitutional right. This is a personal decision by a woman or a man and wife, whatever the circustances. This should not be an issue in the political arena.

These people are a disgrace.

I agree with cathaleen, but why stop at birth? I have kids and everynow and then I realize life would be easier if I did not have them. So why can't I kill them, let's say up until the age of 18. Why even stop at that age? A decision between man and wife right?

No one hates those who have an abortion, they love the baby who is killed so your friends can have their "unprotected fun" you call a "mistake". If they were more responsible they would not have to kill another being to pay for their mistake.

It requires the body of a woman. If that woman doesn't want to let it use her body to grow, then who are you to tell her she has to?

No one would have to tell her she has to keep the baby there is she did not put it there in the first place. If she invites the baby there by her actions, she should be human enough to not kill the child.

given the choice, most would take life over death, and the same holds true for the unborn as moden technolegy has proven. Film footage of writhing, gasping in obvious agony, babies in the pocess of being KILLED leaves me with utter contempt and disgust for thoes who would either have or perform abortions. Their sorry lack of regard for life, is unfathomable

The Drs need to step upto the plate as well. There are women who ask their Dr to tie/burn their tubes as they know feel it best not bear children for health reasons. The Dr. won't. They are so worried about being sued or their church atanding on the issue. If thats the case,they pander to the church. I am not preaching here just telling it like is. A Dr will use the line*you will change your mind later down the road* or some line. Don't buy it. If Drs won't listen to women who has done their home work or what ever on the issue to not have children,then that Dr must do the burning of the tubes. So that Dr failed in the duties of care and well being of the woman. I am not for abortion being used as birth control. Women are taught no birth control by the church but there are women who need it.It is not humane to force her into slaverly of being in poor health to carry a unborn even when the meds will cause health problems . So Jane Doe does the only humane thing right away. I am sorry if this means some are never born. It not something done lightly. It is is a personal and it hurts and please stop and think of those who hurt and being unselfish to see beyond it but due the holier than thou yelling murder when they are nobody but pandering to the church who know nothing of the woman's case. All they see is unborn who will become children of church pandering,a prawn of the parents.I was dump at 5.I am 52.

Question concerning abortion:

What if the baby that is being killed is also female,
what about her rights to her body??
