An Unborn Baby Is Just A Peace of Meat In A Womens Body?

Judge rejects Planned Parenthood injunction request Abortion business tried to obtain court order against former worker November 10, 2009

The district court judge today rejected Planned Parenthood's demand for an injunction against Abby Johnson, who quit as director of the abortion business branch last month. The judge also rejected a similar request from Planned Parenthood targeting the Coalition for Life, a local organization. The ruling from Judge J.D. Langley concluded Planned Parenthood did not offer reasons that would convince him of the need for "the extreme remedy of injunctive relief. The company had sought court intervention to block disclosure of confidential patient information, something Johnson said she never considered doing anyway. WND reported earlier when Johnson was interviewed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee on his Fox News Channel show: And in an earlier interview with WND, Johnson told of Planned Parenthood's abortion quotas, which she said were needed to generate revenue for the organization. "We'd have a goal every month for abortion clients and for family planning clients," she said. Johnson, 29, said the Bryan, Texas, Planned Parenthood clinic performed surgical abortions every other Saturday, but it began expanding access to abortion to increase earnings. She reported being pleased with the newest court decision. "The truth about abortion that Abby witnessed on an ultrasound machine at Planned Parenthood underscores the fact that abortion is not health care, and it should not be funded in any way by the government," said Bereit. Johnson even was mentioned by name during Saturday's U.S. House debate over an amendment designed to limit taxpayer funding of abortions. In remarks on the House floor, Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said, "Self-described as 'extremely pro-choice,' but now pro-life, Abby Johnson said she watched an unborn child 'crumple' before her very eyes as the infant was vacuumed and dismembered by a suction device 20-30 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner. 'I could see the baby try to move away … I just thought what am I doing … never again.'" Johnson told Huckabee she first got involved with Planned Parenthood because of its efforts to prevent pregnancy. But she said her experience watching an abortion left her mind racing and her heart beating fast. "For whatever reason I was called in to help. My job was to hold the ultrasound probe on the abdomen," she said. "When I looked at the screen, I saw a baby on the screen. She was about 13 weeks pregnant at the time. I saw a full side profile. I saw face to feet on the ultrasound. "I saw the probe going into the woman's uterus. At that moment I saw the baby moving, trying to get away from the probe," she continued. "I thought, 'It's fighting for its life.' I thought, 'It's life. It's alive.' "I dropped the ultrasound probe. I scrambled and put [the probe] back in place. So many things were going through my mind. I was thinking about my daughter, who's three," she said. "I was just thinking, 'What am I doing here? What am I doing here? There was life in here and now there's not.'"

Does this make you Mad or Sad?

It should make you white with rage and make you want to have an emotional break down at the same time. I am not married and I don't have any kids but I thank God every day that my parents didn't abort me. ( not that they ever would) When millions of babies are aborted you are killing America's future you are killing our economy you are killing.

Hey, I've put this up on another discussion, but its relevant here too. I'm quoting myself here.

"The doctors almost forced my mother to abort me because they said that I was underdeveloped and that I would have physical problems all my life. These doctors who want to play God aren't always right because they PRACTICE medicine. I was born over 11 lbs, now I'm 6'5" and healthy as can be. Just because some doctors say that a baby isn't alive in the womb doesn't make it so. Murder is still murder, whether its because a mother doesn't want her baby in the womb or outside of the womb. If a pregnant woman plans on keeping her baby she is murdered, it is considered a double homicide. There is the recent case of the pregnant woman being murdered, and her baby cut out of her and stolen. If the baby wasn't alive, then how could it have survived? I'm a live-and-let-the-babies-live kinda guy."

Something else to add about the problems that abortion has caused which is off the moral level. How many baby-boomers are out there? How many of Generation X are out there? I refer to my generation as the Aborted Generation. This country is missing millions that should be around my age (30 or less). In the work place, someone needs to step up and take the place of the baby-boomers who are going to be retiring soon. The problem is that a lot of the need will be filled by foreign sources. As a result of aborting Generation X, we are going to see either a larger influx of foreign labor, or we will be weakened and indebted by our lack of workforce in the future.

As bad as things have gotten with abortion, I think the issue is getting better somewhat now. Several states have passed laws to limit the circumstances under which you can have abortions performed, and have laws about minor's notification of parents. More and more people are starting to realize that we are in the middle of the American Holocaust, killing the only class of people who are completely defenseless and have no voice.

It should not be legal. Since it is, anyone wishing to have one should be forced to watch a video of it to see the baby ripped from the womb via a Hoover before the procedure. They should be forced to register with the local police as killers or at least as people (i use the term loosely) who do not feel they are responsible for their own actions. Dispicable. makes me ill.

Whether it's right or wrong it's is always going to be a 50/50 arguement. Arguing and strongly voicing an opinion doesn't get anywhere...advocating a solution...now that's a progressive movement! Avoid abortion...use a condom. Condom broke? There's a plan B...also known as the "morning-after pill." Don't want kids? Don't have sex.

Unfortunatly, there's a lot of idiots out there that just don't have a clue...so I guess the question you gotta ask yourself is, "Should these people really be reproducing!?" :-)

Thought I'd throw a little humor in on this one...I hope it wasn't taken the wrong way :-)

In order to be alive, one must be born. Life consists of being born, living then dying. The "preborn" are not alive, as they have not been born yet, just as the "post dead" are not alive either. Now there is lots of evidence for spiritual existence both before and after death, but the only right the dead have is to be left alone to decompose (or not).
Of course all the fundie types who would deny a woman the right to choose what to do with Her Body seem to be men here. I have gone off before about simplisticly minded individuals attempting to foist their twisted religious preferences on the uninterested before and I will say it again. It is not a man's choice. period. All a man can do with regard to a woman's choice to abort is to support her or punish her for doing it. Women have always had the choice to abort, with herbs or instruments (or simple starvation). Men who would regard women as broodstock for producing more boy babies (so they can grow up and die as soldiers) have always deluded themselves that might have some handle on a woman's fertility, but the woman with the womb in question has all the cards until that day when eggs can be hatched In Vitro instead of In Vivo. When Men do go off on these delusionary tangents, somehow they never think to assist women with aid that promotes fertility, good food, rest, love, emotional stability. No it is all about punishment. Men like to punish that which will not submit. When Men get preggers then they can choose to have an abortion.
No woman wants an abortion. Even the simplest D&C is painful on numerous levels. Anyone who thinks a woman would get one blythly doesn't have any idea what is involved. Sure it would be nice to live in a world where nobody ever needed an abortion and every child came into the world loved, but we don't have such a world, so it is better that unwanted children and children born too deformed to function be aborted.
A Previous poster noted that he felt an entire generation (his) was aborted, Yup, that might just be so and you know what? The crime rate was way down a decade later. The same decline in crime was claimed by the Bradyites to be the result of handgun control but was actually result of Roe vs. Wade. When poor women finally had access to abortion they chose not to have unwanted children and an entire generation of unwanted children did not grow up to become criminals. It's in Freakanomics, dudes. So actually if one was to actually do the math, abortion and the 2nd amendment go together like ice cream and apple pie!
This coupling of conservative issues with 2nd amendment issues drives more potential supporters away that the average con might think. I know lots of "liberals" who think guns are really cool but they are put off by the religious fundamentalism and antisecularism of those who would be allies in preserving our 2nd amendment rights.
At any rate a child who hasn't been born has not suffered and being free from sin (except for catholics)goes to heaven. Isn't that what you want? Why is it better for that son of a bad seed and an uncaring mother to grow up a psychopath and maliciously bring hurt and suffering to the world till the Law catches up and sticks a needle in his arm.
If one really cared for the welfare of the "preborn" one should then support the finest in prenatal care and nutrition. Every effort should be made to make mothers to be happy, comfortable and well nourished, because that is what brings happy fat little babies. But the same people who scream bloody murder about the "preborn" always refuse to fund proper prenatal care, let alone things like "Headstart" for the babies after they been born. As far as I am concerned anybody who is anti abortion and wouln't support decent prenatal care for ALL women capable of becoming pregnant are hyppocrites and should shut the hell up about it. Care for the living children first, all of them, then we'll talk.

A kicking robot that just appear? The cells in our body are produced from meiosis and mitosis. They techinically arent 'born.'Does that mean theyre not alive?And you say the reason why men are against abortion is because we enjoy punishing women.

I guess we can all come to concultion that it makes bella mad that a woman who worked in an abortion clinic decided to quit because she felt that an unborn baby was alive. Also, that pregnancy is a mans way to control a women. And futher more that an unborn baby is a punishment to a women who is "not ready to have a baby" but "is ready to have sex." All in all I would guess that a baby is an inconvience to mothers therefore they should be aborted if they cannot be cared for the way fits best in a socialists mind and that they should be aborted to help crime rates fall and sucure the future of the earth. All I can say is "WOW." Lets all pray for those who have this type of unnatural affection.

Why should I care about some woman in a clinic quitting her job?
It doesn't change my opinions. Men have no control over pregnancy other than assisting the woman to have proper nutrition and a secure place to live during her time of vulnerable gravidity. But hey, none of you guys want to support any "socialist" programs like Head Start. You just care that the babies get born and not whether they are deformed or stunted. After all, once they are born, you "cons" loose any interest.
At any rate your desire to impose your religion on others is as offensive to me as whatever you consider "socialism" is to you and your fellow cons. I will resist by any means neccessary any attempt to impose any sort of religious dictatorship on our secular nation and I could care less if you think your particular heresy is "the only true" whatever. You are welcome to your delusions but if you impose them on me and mine, I will object and push back.

I can see why conservatives who support the notion of private for profit prisons might also support antiabortion movements. Unwanted neglected children usually grow up poor and disadvantaged and inevitable get in trouble with the law, providing fresh population for the private prisons to be paid to incarcerate. Besides that, you also get to imprison the women who try to get abortions and the doctors who provided them. More money to be funneled from taxpayers into private pockets! Eventually the conservatives would get what they want, nice nonunion (but well paid and secure for life) jobs as screws guarding the concentration camps that contain everyone else. Then you'll have your Amerika, (the one you really want) but it wouln't be America, not the one the rest of us love...

What nonsense is this I read about someone speculating that if abortion was illegal, then there might be enough american workers so we wouldn't need illegal aliens to do the scut work? Whoever came up with that one is really out of their tiny mind! Migrant workers get exploited by agribusness because agribusness refuses to pay wages or give benifits enough to make such work attractive to american workers. Migrant workers usually make the trip because they have no other option, not because of American underpopulation. What the nativist is actually suggesting that abortion in America has reduced the supply of poor desperate Americans available for agribusness to exploit. He is suggesting he thinks we need more poor homeless people to round up for forced labor! What an Amerikan! Don'tcha just love FREEDOM!

Murder is killing people in a context other than self defense or war. Fetuses aren't people until they are viable and can live on their own. If abortion is murder then miscarrage would be manslaughter and it happens for many reasons beyond a mothers control. Would you punish a woman who had a miscarrage?
At any rate if you would punish a woman for ridding herself of a growth she doesn't want and cannot support you should also make onanism illegal. Just consider the millions of potential human beings damned to be unborn every time some teenage boy stimulates himself. To the wall with the murderer! Makes the hundreds of fetuses flushed at the clinic seem like a drop in the bucket!
But it is really about double standards, one for us girls and another for you boys. It's murder for us and amusement for you wankers. As I said before, if you gave a hoot about the preborn you'd be helping pregnant women to keep and provide for potential babies, but no, all you fascists want to do is punish people. Actually helping anybody is faar too "socialist" for you "cons".
You "cons" live in the prison of your own tiny minds and you want to turn the rest of the planet to be a prison too, so you'll have company in your self assumed misery. For some of us however, "freedom" isn't about trying to find new ways to punish our fellow men. Freedom isn't about legislating morality, and the people who seem to most want morality legislated are usually the least moral of the population. No you can't impose your heretical religion on me, whether you think you are the sole repository of spiritual truth or not. Besides I talked to God, and She said you were all full of poop. So There.

The valid arguments presented pro and con are precisely the reason that abortion rights is a near 50/50 split with Americans. Thsi will not likely be settled anytime soon.

There is religious law and secular law and the two should never be mixed, lest the obscure practices of one minority be imposed on everybody. Consider circumcism, a religious practice observed by some and deemed child abuse by others. If one were to legislate circumcism how far does one go! Are the uncircumsised not to be considered adult men? Or would it be circumsism itself that be banned, would you then go arrest the Moyle? Would "panty checks" on men be considered valid? Do you then have parents arrested for doing or not doing it? Circumcism is the law in some countries, would there be any point to such here?
Take note I would tend to be agin legislating the Bris, it is religious law and not secular (thankfully) and I will make no statement of any superiority of one style of appendage over another.
Of course I guess that any number of dudes are having fits right now at the equating their units with a ladies secret parts but that is where the double standard lives. If we are going to incorporate religious law into the structure of secular law it is a slippery slope to the imposition of something identical to Shariah law.
I live in Massachusetts, where in the early days of the colony there was a state ordained religion with manditory attendance for all under the iron hand of Puritan law. They used to hang Quakers in Boston you know...Anybody who wants to back to any such thing is truely out of their minds or extremely ignorant of history. We have secular government for a reason and we mess with it at our peril.

Really? Well then you must be in support of killing babies, infants and toddlers. Babies can not live in their own for quite some time after they are born. You sicken me with you cold hearted feelings towards human life. You would kill a toddler or an infant simply because they can't live on their own? I also like how you say that men loose interest once the baby is born. Really? Most men who have kids love them, care for them and lord help any one who tries to hurt their child.

I'm wondering Bella, How much of your money do you donate to social programs? Do you pay the minimum or do you volunteer extra. You do know the IRS takes donations? You have no Idea about any conservative’s personal lives. Infact if you knew who provided most of the money for your population controlling programs, you would probably wonder with amazement when the “Rich Man” can no longer provide for you entitlement programs, You can’t get blood from a turnip. But I can guarantee you can get blood from a 6-week-old Unborn Child.

The people behind the curtains usually don't blow their own horn or try to place their own responsibilities on someone else. WE have been to prisons, nursing homes, daycares, free meal banks, have met with drug addicts and gave our last dollar to a begger with a sign that said will work for food, we have cried along side a mother who lost her child from a miscarriage and paid our taxes. And you have the fortitude to say that someone that states that an Unborn child is alive, because the believe in the sanctities of life is trying to control women and that we are cruel. Miss Bella, your heart surely shows on your sleeve.

If one is truly willing to say that a woman is the sole proprietor of a child in the womb then how can you come to conclusion that a man must take responsible after the child is born? I don’t believe either of the two. Both are responsible! Why must a man be forced to pay child support if he has no say? How can a women have 5 children from two different men, file for divorce twice, live with a boy friend who has a steady job, get hut to pay her rent or House payment while drawing child support , foodstamps, welfare, alimony, and forbids the true fathers from seeing the children. You act as though men are scum, but there are plenty of women out there as well.

I’m glad you were not my mother, with your attitude, I might find my self in a dumpster or bathroom somewhere instead of left at the local mission or church because you wouldn’t want your child serving some savour God, as if you should have a say.

And how would you know how a Childs welfare would be after birth anyway, are you the judge, jury, and gallows ? “I guess you are if your with child.” No chance at all given to the child? It’s not the babies fault you’re not able to provide, it’s yours. How did my grandmother make it with five children in the depression picking cotton, and living off polksallade and wild rabbits living in dirt floor houses, with no running water or indoor toilet. My family lived in a 6 foot camper trailer for a couple years before we moved into an 800 square foot house, which is, were we lived until I turned 14. After years of hard work and fighting to make it as an owner operator, my dad finely had a good paying job. I grew up happy and healthy even though there were times when all we had to eat were beans. And I’m not telling you a sob story don’t you get the wrong Idea. Praise God, I had a chance to live the poor life. But I didn’t know I was poor because my mother and father loved me just the same and worked hard to provide instead of throughing me to the ditch. I know your going to say I had a father… Well I know plenty who did not have a father and some that did not have mothers and they made it just fine.

If a mother dies during birth should we just kill the baby before it’s born because know one will provide? What about non profet churches that help provide and people who cry at the chance to adopt but can't because the government says that thier not good at being parents. There are 1000's if not millions of people who wan't to be parent's that cry at the chance to have a baby someone else does not wan't. In stead they are killed because they are a inconvienant at the time.

And also there is a whole lot of your brothers and sisters that die and have died so you can spout off your anti American rhetoric propaganda, you spill the same line but longer sentences. “Women are mistreated, rich mens fault.” I'm sorry, but you have twested form of compassion for a child, if you do not care about it in the womb. I'm hoping your heart will change some day, that is why I will pray for you. You do not believe as I do. I believe, suffer the little children to come unto me, as Jesus said. You just keep speaking, the same old same old, "Some one else’s fault" but, its time people like you quit being victims, "And take responsibility for yourself and you actions."

Now you can smear me all you like Miss Bella. Have your fun, get mad at me and let your emotions go, as you already have.

P.S.
The only time we can really call someone else a hypocrite is when we are not showing ourselevs to be one.

Hand of Hope
TOTALLY AWESOME....YOU HAVE TO READ THE STORY BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PICTURE!!!

You must read the article first before opening the attachment at the bottom, then you will understand what you are seeing... this is so touching!

A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact,unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably will never see it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by a surgeon named Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on little Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed, hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger.

In a Time Europe article highlighting new pregnancy imagery that show the formation of major organs and other significant evidence of the formation of human life but a few days after conception, Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins,"The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life. "Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us my pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person."

Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful.

Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible. And hey, pass it on. The world needs to see this one!

If the parents wanted the baby with spina bifeta fine, good for them.
I am saying a lot of traditional boundaries have been stretched really beyond all reason these days. Birth is and always was the start of life, just as death is the end. But now the Anti choice people want to push the definition of "being alive" back to conception and if you are unfortunate enough to eat fugu fish or get brain damage you can find yourself a zombie in a coma, half dead till your families money runs out and somebody turns you off.
Whenever boundaries get pushed somebody gets crushed. I realize many of you out there reading this are not intelligent enough to make that connection or perhaps you do see it and you want traditional social order upturned to suit you.
You cannot succeed in convincing people of your point of view, so you demands a law to force others to see things as you do. So much for liberty, so much for justice, as long as You get Your way, with regards to a procedure that you will never undergo and a situation you will never find yourself in. All because of your dogmatic agenda and that subconscious feeling of loss because you cannot consider women to be property anymore.
I am gonna say it again, if you claim to be pro life, care for the living, help living breathing crying , laughing children, there is no shortage of 'em. But focussing on legislation to restrict thew choices of others who don't share your dogma doesn't help living children, it only messes with the lives of women who likely have enough problems with life already.
Should schizophrenic women confined to locked wards bear children, no. Should Alcoholic or Heroin addicted women bear children while actively abusing? No. Should the profoundly retarded bear children? Is it possible to prevent any of these groups from having sexual intercourse during periods of fertility when any progeny devolved is going to be a burden on society during it's entire painful short period of existance. You guys talk dogma, I talk realpolitic. Love and care for the Living if you are pro life. You guys don't walk your talk. On the day you guys get pregnant, then you can decide about having an abortion. Remember the procedure hurts, a lot. No woman ever wants an abortion, the concept is ludicrous. Abortions are only done as the lesser of two evils, and birthing a child who will not be loved is more evil than abortion.

You don't think much of yourself do you bella. I did not realize that I was stupid and you are the only smart one out of all of us. I hate to break it to you but a lot of women get abortions because they had sex but don't want the responsability of having a child. Too many people view children as a ball and chain these days. Something to slow you down and take away your freedom. A child is anything but, to give life is one of the greatest gifts of all. The plain and simple truth of the matter is people who get abortions or support abortions do not value life. They are not responsible and want to blame all their bad decisions on someone or something else. You plainly do not understand or value life at all. You say life doesn't begin until birth. You also say that a person is not really alive until they can support themselves. Well babies can not feed themselves or live on their own for some time after they are born. The same for infants and toddlers. So if you say life doesn't begin until birth but a person is not really living until they can live on their own shows you have a sideways view of life and are not really sure yourself when life begins. The bottom line is you are so liberal that you say that a baby is not alive in the womb just so society or a woman won't feel so bad about snuffing out another life. You value irresponsibility more than you do life.

Abortion is MURDER! Anyone who committs abortions especially a heinous act such as partial birth abortions should be arrested, tried and convicted for premeditated murder and the so called mother should be tried as an accessory to the fact.

Also I think that it should be openly taught in sex ed classes and stressed that that baby is alive it has a pulse, a heart beat etc.

The reallity of partial birth abortions / abortion should also be taught.

If they didn't want to have a child they should never have given in to temptation and spread their legs!

Sorry, just a 15 year old's input...

If a living thing has to be smart enough to take care of itself, then does that justify my want to stick your head in a blender?

All joking aside, Being in the womb is a big part of life, just like life outside of the womb. Life begins when the little heart begins to beat. Maybe even before in other people's books, but that is what it takes for me to consider something living. Saying something is only living when it is independent is just dumb. I mean, just like a baby can't survive without mommy's bodily fluids, people like you couldn't take care of yourselves without your bottles of soy mush.. Does that make you just a piece of liberal meat?
I mean, you are too stupid to hunt, and have such a boring life that you sign up on a hunting site and bullsh*t around instead of taking "liberal action". I mean, good God, even your friends, the dumbass ALF get their message across instead of posting on outdoor sites! What, did they leave you at base cause you couldn't strike a match? You are just as needy as some fetus, yet you call them unliving pieces of meat...

Here are my last words of wisdom. If stupid Liberals would keep your zippers zipped every once in a while, maybe we wouldn't have so many abortions, because people wouldn't be so afraid of having even more big mouthed, dumbass soy suckers running their mouths and clearing the woods for Starbucks centers and Peta buildings!

None of you guys will ever need an abortion, nor could you. At my age I am extremely unlikely to need one either.
As I have pointed out, before ontology recapituates phylogyny. A fetus goes through every stage of development, aat one point it looks like a fish. Is it human when it looks like a fish? I continually get the notion that you guys read selectively anyway, but, People (lots of em) die every day. It is more evil to birth an unwanted child than it is to abort it. I measure evil by misery content, and if a girl gets an abortion for an unwanted pregnancy, she is mizerable for a little while. If the unwanted unloved kid grows up at be a criminal (as they usually do, statisticly) the mizery factor is exponentialized.

Guys,
Hey, there is really no need to call names or use the foul.

Bella,

How would you know how a man feels about his child being aborted?
I not going to argue with you about what is Alive and what is not Alive. You and Others like me, disagree with you.

They’re many different walks of life in this world. Some good, some not so good, some evil some not so evil. I find that were good is so is evil present and so were evil is always good present. What I mean is that all of us have some good in us. You sound like a person that has good in you. I am not calling you evil, but I do believe the "act" of abortion is murder. I think sometimes some of us are misrepresented and misjudged.

Your life and beliefs are molded in the way you have allowed it to be. Our emotions are indeed the most influent part of our personal being. And actions create our character.

I'm sure you feel there are many good reasons to have an abortion. You are one woman, not every woman. For the most part the women I know disagree with abortion. Row verses Wad in the early 70's, actual was about one woman but the media made it something bigger, she has since changed her mind and now regrets it and would change the law if she could. Before that it was legal to have an abortion in many states because of rape or incest. Amazing what propaganda agenda and bias media can accomplish.

The most extreme cases are debatable, but just because a man and a woman like to have sex and get pregnant at an inconvieant time, seems to me to be a very foolish reason to have an abortion. I have talked with women that agree with me. You would be surprised at least in my experience, that more men are in favor of abortion than women, I would think probably because they are scared of the responsibility’s involved. Natural responsibility is an inconvienat word today.

The problem, I think, is not the abortion issue as much, but the lack of ability or a common knowledge to know the differences between truth and lie, right and wrong, and the ability to own up.

There have been an estimated 40,000,000 abortions since 1973.
Would every one be justified?
Would you say that some of these children could have been raised to be happy and healthy despite the odds?
Would you say some of these people would take more chances and put more investment into something dead without a heart?
I would be more in favor of the government giving the women the money is cost to have an abortion than to have an abortion. Yes I said that.

I’ve also found that many of these people who believe in choice are not in favor of the death penalty, and are in favor of reforming mass murderers.
Also they often fill it is wrong to kill animals or develop land for food or industries. This I do not and cannot understand.

What I think? People are losing compassion, forgiveness, love, mercy, natural instinct and natural affections. And are resorting to means of unaccountability, irresponsibility, and push button dependentcies.

Here's the deal Bella Just because a girl/woman spreads her legs and gets pregnant doesn't make her a mother... and if she doesn't want the child she should atleast give the child a chance with a family that wants a child but can't have one.
There are many people that want children but can't have them.
This country has made it hard as hell to adopt an american child due to foster homes, orphanages, over priced paperwork, Social Services and CPS BS. That doesn't mean that a chgild isn't wanted or will go unloved!

Instead they choose the easy way out they choose to murder a child and justify it by the fact they never see it or hold it or hear it cry.

Some do it for vanity, shame & some do it for even more selfish reasons.

It said just because these children have problems doesnt mean they arent loved and dont deserve a chance. I was stunned and very glad some people still say that its not the childs fault and they will still have as good of chance as anyone to have a normal life. And bella says that the orphans and single parent children end up addicts, around here its always the spoiled rich brats with a 'perfect' life who get everything they want and whose parents are rich who end up on drugs.

We have so much technology out here that is proven to help people who have been crippled or bed ridden live somewhat normal lives. The blind, Deaf, Paralyzed and amputees can attest to that. No one euthenized or aborted them for the sake of greed.

You fools can't read, or you do so selectively. Of course I hunt and fish, why would I post on this blog if I did. I only say no babe should be born unwanted and you call me a murderer. Then you accuse me of being a PETA plant or something...which is ridiculous, if you have even one of my posts on other subjects.
Just because somebody agrees with you on the 2nd amendment doesn't mean they are going to sign on to the whole fundie con agenda. I deeply resent the abortion issue or fundamentalist christianity being in any way coupled to hunting and fishing, You'd think only fundies went fishing!
As far as the 2nd amendment goes the statistics when corrolated show that the claim of the bradyites that gun control brought a drop in the crime rate is completely false. Where the data corrolation jumps out is with Roe vs, Wade, where access to abortion for poor and single women who for whatever reason didn't or couldn't support babies, brought a reduction in the crime rate a decade or so later (as unwanted abandoned kids didn't grow up to tewrrorize the world). You'd think you men would jump on this! Brady is dead wrong! Firearms ownership does prevent personal and property victimization in trained hands! The police in reality, cannot protect and is less and less willing to serve anything other than the whims of the State. A whole lotta folks would happily join the 2nd amendment agenda, except for Fundamentalists driving people off with the stench of their positions on social issues. I don't care if you christians think you have the one and only true god, because I know just as certainly, otherwise. You don't seem to realize the can of worms you open when you couple issues like gun rights and abortion rights, you risk setting folks against you on the gun thing because they dissagree on the choice thing. You want to keep your guns don't you? Then shut the F up about Abortion on the hunting blog! It ain't relevant or germain to the issue and you risk alienating 2nd amendment supporters. Which IS more important to you? Meddling in some woman you don't knows personal choices or keeping that SKS? HUH? you want your cake and to eat it too. Of course after the last round of postings it is a long shot to expect anything rational at all...Fundies aren't rational. It doesn't matter whether they are muslim or christian or jew, fundies just like to mess with other peoples lives and can't ever learn to wind their own beeswax, it don't matter what flavor of fundie, I dispise you all.

Bella,

I agree with you on some subjects, But not the abortion subject. Your last two posts???? I don't get...

Murder can be defined several ways, for intance you could murder a persons moral to the point they feel they are not important and should commit suicide. We can all be guilty of acts of murder and we will all be judged acordingly. But that does not mean every one is a murderer. I know its hard to understand me, I wish I had a better way to explain.

How can we force people to believe somthing they don't believe? Answer, I believe is. We shouldn't.

But, we do have to draw a line and have laws based on right and wrong, how will we have any law if we do not draw lines? Of course if we lived by laws how can we be free to have fun? Well there is a simple answer. But its for us to find out indevidually.

You obviously don't understand and miss judge Christians based on many of your statements above and elseware, I think it would be safe to say you think the earth would be better off without any Christain interferance. Just how it looks to me.

As for the lame arguments, you incerted yourself in this post.

Will you answer the questions now or never the questions that have been asked?

...("Does this make you Mad or Sad?" I think we know the answer to that one.

"How many of you watched your Children on the Ultra sound before they exited the whomb?"

There have been an estimated 40,000,000 abortions since 1973.

"Would every one be justified?"

"Would you say that some of these children could have been raised to be happy and healthy despite the odds?"

I kinda didn't word this one like I ment it.

"Would you say some of these people would take more chances and put more investment into something dead without a heart?"

It should be more like this:
Would you say those who have abortions would take more chances and put more investment into something without a heart and soul meaning cars, houses, drugs, selfish acts, ect..?)...

In referance to meat, I feel people/babies are more important than a peace of dead meat, and that includes you Miss Bella. I'm still praying for you even though you don't believe or care about my God.

Thanks for all your input guys/gals......

first of all abortion has never been "legalized" the only reason it is allowed is because the supreme court allowed abortion i the case roe v wade. but lets not forget the supreme court is not the one that makes laws, they just allowed one person to get an abortion so now everyone thinks they can get one too, it is not legal, show me the bill that was passed legalizing it. secondly bella you said if it can not live on its own it is not a human, there are some full grown adult who can not live on their own (some severely mentally handicapped people) does that mean we should kill them because they are not humans or have no benefit to society? Lastly if a woman does not want a child then that woman should not have sex, sex is supposed to be saved till marriage anyways right? then when a woman is married and has sex if she gets pregnant the father will at least stay around if he loves the woman enough to marry her.

Getting back to the main article... Planned Parenthood is a good and necessary resource in our communities. Planned Parenthood does far more than provide abortions. The focus of their education efforts is on pregnancy and STD prevention. The following is their response to Abby Johnson's initial statements:

A former employee has recently made public statements about a “spiritual conversion” as a part of her publicity efforts in opposition to abortion and Planned Parenthood. As a trusted provider of reproductive health care for more than 90 years, Planned Parenthood knows that patients and health care providers experience complex thoughts and emotions about abortion, and that personal views may evolve over time. Planned Parenthood respects everyone’s beliefs and feelings on this most personal of medical issues.

The allegation made by former health center manager Abby Johnson that Planned Parenthood is not focused on prevention, however, is completely false.

Planned Parenthood’s primary focus has always been prevention and that continues to be our focus today. Nationwide and locally, more than 90 percent of the services Planned Parenthood provides are preventive in nature, including life-saving screenings for breast and cervical cancer, wellness exams, contraception, and STD testing and treatment. Planned Parenthood health care helps women stay healthy, plan pregnancy, and avoid an unintended pregnancy. Planned Parenthood values patient confidentiality and takes every measure to ensure that patients at any health care facility can trust that their private medical information remains protected. For this reason, Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas has taken steps to ensure that confidentiality is not broken by former employees.

Thank you Dakotah Dan!
And as for you guys, I'm a hippie soy sucker because I have evidence for reincarnation? Perhaps guilty on the hippie thing is, but the offensive assumption of "soy sucking" that's completely false. And I never patronize Starbucks. I am deeply and soo very hurt that you would accuse me of such a perfidious behavior as consuming genetically engineered soy products. (Just a little Kikkoman in the BBQ sauce thanks).
Most humans reincarnate as humans, (read the Bardo Thodol, dudes) although the Wrathful Deities might make an exception for you.
I'm not going to go into either my own personal subjective evidence for reincarnation or the vast collection of anecdotal evidence for it, nor the 5 or 6 major world religions that have produced countless sacred tomes on the subject. Pearls before swine, find out that one for yourself, all you have to do is die...
At any rate it seems the difference of opinion, related to reincarnation or one shot existance has great relevance to the discussion of abortion rights. You "anti's" think we only have one shot at existance then poof it's over, sit on a cloud and strum that harp for the rest of existance. Naturally you think that aborted babes have then lost all opportunity for mortal existence.
Whereas I know this is not so, for I have witnessed much evidence for reincarnation and I have interviewed numerous individuals who have had near death experiences (NDE's) and who all report the same basic experience. To me this is having my faith corroborated and my belief confirmed. I know it is in the nature of believers to accept confirming evidence and reject faith-destroying facts, but I have yet to see any logical argument refuting the evidence for reincarnation. But hey, believe what you like, just don't try to make it law. I wonder how some of your brains work out there.
For one, it is unneccesary to make a law to legalize something, one simply repeals the old bad law. No law was neccesary to make abortion legal. Prohibition (for example) ended when the Volstead Act was repealed. Roe vs. Wade rendered State laws restricting abortion unconstitutional and therefore it became legal. One doesn't need law to permit something seen as a right. However laws restricting things imply punishment for those who tresspass. Any law restricting abortion is only going to apply to women (or those who care for them), who would be punished for doing what nature has always allowed. It would be one thing if humans were like kangaroos, and an embryo crawled out weeks after conception, but human women carry for 9 months and during that time we are frequently weak, tired, sick and vulnerable. That takes committment, the babe in the womb is not like some kind of luggage you can put down, it effects how you eat, sleep and get around. The further along the heavier it gets. A girl has to be committed to the project and happy with her situation to enjoy pregnancy. For many it is months of hell and suffering, the fatigue, the nausia, the kid kicking you in the ribs-from the inside-! A girl has to want it. Otherwise nobody should be forced to have an unwanted parasite leeching her life force away, and that is what a LAW illegalizing abortion would do, punishing women and only women, all for the egos of a minority of self-righteous men.
In a world where women are still tricked and trafficked as objects across international borders, where in some regions girls schools get bombed by extremists and in others they infibulate girls all in the name of one monotheistic religion or another, it is important to stand up for a women's right over her own flesh! No man would ever put up with what men impose on women! Fairness and equality (which I fully realize many of you have no interest in) is the law and the American Way.
Besides you "christians" who berate me for my honest opinions are plainly poor examples of your faith anyway, so frequently you tresspass beyond the teachings of one you supposedly revere. All this judgement, and didn't your Savior teach you otherwise. Not much turning the cheek around here either, your own prejudicial writings condemn your poor conduct (if you indeed claim to be christian). I seem to recall something about "rendering unto Ceasar that which is Ceasars" as well and another bit about "blessed be the peacemaker" too. As far as immorality goes, remember Jesus and the prostitute, Let him who is without sin cast the first stone".
Of course all you fundie types, prefer Paul's line that women should shut up in church, but Paul never met Jesus and tended to impose his personal prejudices on everything he touched. I'll take "the Book of Mary" myself, when we can get the full text, she actually had a relationship with Yeshua except that those Bishops in Nicea wanted to put the girls in their place, so Mary was out and Paul was in. It's No wonder that the Koran has more stories of the actual life of Yeshua than the Vulgate does. Not that I'm any kind of Islamist, but one doesn't get an objective overview without reading ALL the documents. All you Xtians oughta read the Koran (in translation) some time, just for perspective. You might not be so suprised if someone who gets sent to the Sandbox comes home and changes his name to Mohammed after he takes off the khaki shirt for good. After all I can only think of my experience in going to Asia back in the 70's, (and how I still go "to Asia" again every week in my Dojo). Soldiers sent to foreign lands often go native you know.
So call me what you like, friends, I'll go hunting just the same.

The father also helps care and for the child and raise it. But if its some horny teenager who gets pregnant before marriage and aborts so itll be easier on her, that is completly wrong no matter how you put it. She shouldve gotten married to a nice,respectable man who had a job. That wouldve solved it. All the people I know who have had abortions are teenage girls who did it out of convienience. Quit trying to blame the men and calling us dogmatic control freaks.Its not all the guys fault. The girl(not all cases are rape/incest) chose to have sex with no protection. Your a murdering soy sucking hippie with no respect for life. And if I turn into a goat, then you can say 'I told you so.' plus if we are reincarnated, when you hunt, arent you killing other people? your just a killer all around, arent you? Still laughing, by the way.

She shoulda gotten married to a nice respectable guy with a job? HA! there is where you put your foot in it! Find one! There's a million girls out there lookin' and the Good Men are few or taken. (That's why I'm married sillies). Anyway I have often noticed that anti choice men are usually singularly unattractive or self centered. Just to read some of the posts here makes it abundantly clear. And that is why the Metrosexuals get laid far more often than you fundie dudes. Why any girl would want to marry someone as controlling as any of you fundie dudes is beyond me anyway, you all have your minds locked in the 17th century as far as social evolution goes. I would think the only way you dudes might ever get some is by lying yer faces off or by seeking out the pre brainwashed women from some Xtian Purdah.
After all, for you poor deluded individuals sex is evil anyway, so it is likely appropriate for you to have such unattractive attitudes. You guys likely have to resort to Georgia Homeboy with your dates anyway...
Get yer heads out of the Maddonna/whore complex. If it is good for a man to be virile, then it is also good for a woman to look hot.
Pretty women are pretty for a reason, for enticing the opposite sex. If you believe sex is evil then go be a Muslim. If you think humans are or should be a sexual then you just don't understand biology. I'm certain most of the men out there would if polled agree that sex is good, and they would happily get some anytime if it were only possible. But if sex is good, and handsome men and pretty women are good too, then you can't criminalize abortion. You can not like it, but making it illegal is a travesty against human nature (especially as women have always been able to abort, one way or another- some just don't know how).
So you close minded whackjobs can just go look at a dirty magazines and do what you do. Have some nice fantasies boys...

Nice, I'm glad to see all of you can talk like adults. Namecalling? Laughing at each other? Really some things are better left unsaid, not that I never stick my foot in my mouth, but hey. How can anyone debate when we start name calling and degrading eachother.

Bella,

What do you really mean tring to change laws? People are always tring to changes laws on both sides of the fence. So one side can do it but the other can't. I think we've seen one side can riot in the streets and get away with it and the other can have calm protests with out any people getting beat up. But the peaceful get called wacky and brainwashed by the side that loots, set fires, vandalize, and sometimes kill in their protests.

Are you still not gonna answer the questions above?

I know that some will never change, if you believe in reincarnation thats your right to believe. I'm not gonna change you. Just as I believe in things you don't and your not gonna change me. But I respect your right to believe what you wish. I'm not laughing, I'm praying.

bamaoutdoorsman,

Dude, take a breath and think before you speak. Did Jesus start laughing at what he thaught was faulse or twisted, sometimes he wrote on the ground before he spoke. Sorry, I'm not trying to make you mad. Just think a little how people look at Christains already. And I have to say probubly with good reason. We need to try and give people a reason to want what Jesus has to offer. That doesn't mean to try and force/convert people but we should live peacable with all men/women with as much as is within us if its possible and we can do it with out compermising our faith. And just because someone makes fun of us really doesn't give us a right to have vengance, and make fun back. Maybe they have an excuse "in their mind" because they're not restrained with the same convictions as we should be.

Unfortunately you all tend to think sex is evil anyway (while oogling the scantily clad cheerleaders on football tv!). You want your pie and to eat it too! You have created this "good girl-bad girl" delusion in your heads, where "good girls" are chaste things waiting to get married and become nice little brood mares as opposed to the "bad girls" who put out and party down (those fun loving cheerleaders perhaps? Oh but they are "good"? but why then all the cleavage and leg?).
So Ms Elisha Cuthbert (was that her name?) loverly young thing that she be, is she "good" or is she "bad"? Me, I'm baaad, definately baad. Goody good girls don't tend to wave huge six guns around, don't train in martial arts and don't sass the men, which I will definately do from time to time. But the good die young and I ain't no longer young. They say that men start radical and get conservative as they age, while women start out conservative in outlook and radicalize with age.

The word God is generic, it doesn't specifically belong to Xtians.
Yessir I am extremely intolerant of intolerance, I'm fanatically opposed to fanatics. If that means you so be it.
And why should I be required to visit links that you think support your case? That is just lazy.
As I said before, if you don't like abortion then don't get one. I don't think medical technology will ever advance to the point that you might ever need one (in this life). But consider if you are wrong and I am right. When you die, you find yourself in the great Bardo, then you find yourself drawn into the light and then to a new body. What if that next life you find yourself in a female incarnation? Karma has a way of turning things around, it has been described as the principle of you make your bed, then you lay in it. There is no good Karma and no bad Karma but there is Karmic Justice. And so we learn throughout time.
So call me intolerant of your intolerant views, you who hate gays and think the ERA should be repealed. The Anti choice thing is just another attempt by men to control a woman's fertility. Men have never managed to do so and never will do so, whether by law or "morality". Men can't control their own virility so they think to control the other half of the species in order to lessen the burden of their own inadequacies. But it is all hubris ( a concept most of you xtians wouln't even fathom.).
I shall repeat again, if you love life, aid the living, walking breathing talking crying members of your species that suffer. If you care about how others feel, work to alleviate suffering that is all about you, it is winter people are cold and food banks are in need of provisions! A fetus whatever it's legal status, only gets nutrition from it's mother, so feed the mother and see that she stays warm and doesn't have to stand on her feet all day long just to eat! Assist pregnant women and you help their unborn children more than you could ever through legislation. If you claim to be "christian" then obey your savior and judge not lest ye be judged!
But don't mess with the secular law with your heretical notions. Jesus said nothing about abortion, nothing at all. If you are going to claim that the strictures in Leviticus apply to people who aren't jews then they All apply, no eating lizards, wearing mixed fabrics, no cheeseburgers, execute non-virginal brides, beards for All the guys, slavery is cool and so is genocide.

How bout that one refute these statements.... These are core teachings and in the 10th Commandments.

Hand of Hope
TOTALLY AWESOME....YOU HAVE TO READ THE STORY BEFORE YOU OPEN THE PICTURE!!!

You must read the article first before opening the attachment at the bottom, then you will understand what you are seeing... this is so touching!

A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact,unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably will never see it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by a surgeon named Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr. Bruner completed the surgery on little Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed, hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger.

In a Time Europe article highlighting new pregnancy imagery that show the formation of major organs and other significant evidence of the formation of human life but a few days after conception, Dr. Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins,"The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life. "Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us my pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person."

Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful.

Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible. And hey, pass it on. The world needs to see this one!

Hey, I've put this up on another discussion, but its relevant here too. I'm quoting myself here.

"The doctors almost forced my mother to abort me because they said that I was underdeveloped and that I would have physical problems all my life. These doctors who want to play God aren't always right because they PRACTICE medicine. I was born over 11 lbs, now I'm 6'5" and healthy as can be. Just because some doctors say that a baby isn't alive in the womb doesn't make it so. Murder is still murder, whether its because a mother doesn't want her baby in the womb or outside of the womb. If a pregnant woman plans on keeping her baby she is murdered, it is considered a double homicide. There is the recent case of the pregnant woman being murdered, and her baby cut out of her and stolen. If the baby wasn't alive, then how could it have survived? I'm a live-and-let-the-babies-live kinda guy."

Something else to add about the problems that abortion has caused which is off the moral level. How many baby-boomers are out there? How many of Generation X are out there? I refer to my generation as the Aborted Generation. This country is missing millions that should be around my age (30 or less). In the work place, someone needs to step up and take the place of the baby-boomers who are going to be retiring soon. The problem is that a lot of the need will be filled by foreign sources. As a result of aborting Generation X, we are going to see either a larger influx of foreign labor, or we will be weakened and indebted by our lack of workforce in the future.

Whether it's right or wrong it's is always going to be a 50/50 arguement. Arguing and strongly voicing an opinion doesn't get anywhere...advocating a solution...now that's a progressive movement! Avoid abortion...use a condom. Condom broke? There's a plan B...also known as the "morning-after pill." Don't want kids? Don't have sex.

Unfortunatly, there's a lot of idiots out there that just don't have a clue...so I guess the question you gotta ask yourself is, "Should these people really be reproducing!?" :-)

Guys,
Hey, there is really no need to call names or use the foul.

Bella,

How would you know how a man feels about his child being aborted?
I not going to argue with you about what is Alive and what is not Alive. You and Others like me, disagree with you.

They’re many different walks of life in this world. Some good, some not so good, some evil some not so evil. I find that were good is so is evil present and so were evil is always good present. What I mean is that all of us have some good in us. You sound like a person that has good in you. I am not calling you evil, but I do believe the "act" of abortion is murder. I think sometimes some of us are misrepresented and misjudged.

Your life and beliefs are molded in the way you have allowed it to be. Our emotions are indeed the most influent part of our personal being. And actions create our character.

I'm sure you feel there are many good reasons to have an abortion. You are one woman, not every woman. For the most part the women I know disagree with abortion. Row verses Wad in the early 70's, actual was about one woman but the media made it something bigger, she has since changed her mind and now regrets it and would change the law if she could. Before that it was legal to have an abortion in many states because of rape or incest. Amazing what propaganda agenda and bias media can accomplish.

The most extreme cases are debatable, but just because a man and a woman like to have sex and get pregnant at an inconvieant time, seems to me to be a very foolish reason to have an abortion. I have talked with women that agree with me. You would be surprised at least in my experience, that more men are in favor of abortion than women, I would think probably because they are scared of the responsibility’s involved. Natural responsibility is an inconvienat word today.

The problem, I think, is not the abortion issue as much, but the lack of ability or a common knowledge to know the differences between truth and lie, right and wrong, and the ability to own up.

There have been an estimated 40,000,000 abortions since 1973.
Would every one be justified?
Would you say that some of these children could have been raised to be happy and healthy despite the odds?
Would you say some of these people would take more chances and put more investment into something dead without a heart?
I would be more in favor of the government giving the women the money is cost to have an abortion than to have an abortion. Yes I said that.

I’ve also found that many of these people who believe in choice are not in favor of the death penalty, and are in favor of reforming mass murderers.
Also they often fill it is wrong to kill animals or develop land for food or industries. This I do not and cannot understand.

What I think? People are losing compassion, forgiveness, love, mercy, natural instinct and natural affections. And are resorting to means of unaccountability, irresponsibility, and push button dependentcies.

Bella,

I agree with you on some subjects, But not the abortion subject. Your last two posts???? I don't get...

Murder can be defined several ways, for intance you could murder a persons moral to the point they feel they are not important and should commit suicide. We can all be guilty of acts of murder and we will all be judged acordingly. But that does not mean every one is a murderer. I know its hard to understand me, I wish I had a better way to explain.

How can we force people to believe somthing they don't believe? Answer, I believe is. We shouldn't.

But, we do have to draw a line and have laws based on right and wrong, how will we have any law if we do not draw lines? Of course if we lived by laws how can we be free to have fun? Well there is a simple answer. But its for us to find out indevidually.

You obviously don't understand and miss judge Christians based on many of your statements above and elseware, I think it would be safe to say you think the earth would be better off without any Christain interferance. Just how it looks to me.

As for the lame arguments, you incerted yourself in this post.

Will you answer the questions now or never the questions that have been asked?

...("Does this make you Mad or Sad?" I think we know the answer to that one.

"How many of you watched your Children on the Ultra sound before they exited the whomb?"

There have been an estimated 40,000,000 abortions since 1973.

"Would every one be justified?"

"Would you say that some of these children could have been raised to be happy and healthy despite the odds?"

I kinda didn't word this one like I ment it.

"Would you say some of these people would take more chances and put more investment into something dead without a heart?"

It should be more like this:
Would you say those who have abortions would take more chances and put more investment into something without a heart and soul meaning cars, houses, drugs, selfish acts, ect..?)...

In referance to meat, I feel people/babies are more important than a peace of dead meat, and that includes you Miss Bella. I'm still praying for you even though you don't believe or care about my God.

I'm wondering Bella, How much of your money do you donate to social programs? Do you pay the minimum or do you volunteer extra. You do know the IRS takes donations? You have no Idea about any conservative’s personal lives. Infact if you knew who provided most of the money for your population controlling programs, you would probably wonder with amazement when the “Rich Man” can no longer provide for you entitlement programs, You can’t get blood from a turnip. But I can guarantee you can get blood from a 6-week-old Unborn Child.

The people behind the curtains usually don't blow their own horn or try to place their own responsibilities on someone else. WE have been to prisons, nursing homes, daycares, free meal banks, have met with drug addicts and gave our last dollar to a begger with a sign that said will work for food, we have cried along side a mother who lost her child from a miscarriage and paid our taxes. And you have the fortitude to say that someone that states that an Unborn child is alive, because the believe in the sanctities of life is trying to control women and that we are cruel. Miss Bella, your heart surely shows on your sleeve.

If one is truly willing to say that a woman is the sole proprietor of a child in the womb then how can you come to conclusion that a man must take responsible after the child is born? I don’t believe either of the two. Both are responsible! Why must a man be forced to pay child support if he has no say? How can a women have 5 children from two different men, file for divorce twice, live with a boy friend who has a steady job, get hut to pay her rent or House payment while drawing child support , foodstamps, welfare, alimony, and forbids the true fathers from seeing the children. You act as though men are scum, but there are plenty of women out there as well.

I’m glad you were not my mother, with your attitude, I might find my self in a dumpster or bathroom somewhere instead of left at the local mission or church because you wouldn’t want your child serving some savour God, as if you should have a say.

And how would you know how a Childs welfare would be after birth anyway, are you the judge, jury, and gallows ? “I guess you are if your with child.” No chance at all given to the child? It’s not the babies fault you’re not able to provide, it’s yours. How did my grandmother make it with five children in the depression picking cotton, and living off polksallade and wild rabbits living in dirt floor houses, with no running water or indoor toilet. My family lived in a 6 foot camper trailer for a couple years before we moved into an 800 square foot house, which is, were we lived until I turned 14. After years of hard work and fighting to make it as an owner operator, my dad finely had a good paying job. I grew up happy and healthy even though there were times when all we had to eat were beans. And I’m not telling you a sob story don’t you get the wrong Idea. Praise God, I had a chance to live the poor life. But I didn’t know I was poor because my mother and father loved me just the same and worked hard to provide instead of throughing me to the ditch. I know your going to say I had a father… Well I know plenty who did not have a father and some that did not have mothers and they made it just fine.

If a mother dies during birth should we just kill the baby before it’s born because know one will provide? What about non profet churches that help provide and people who cry at the chance to adopt but can't because the government says that thier not good at being parents. There are 1000's if not millions of people who wan't to be parent's that cry at the chance to have a baby someone else does not wan't. In stead they are killed because they are a inconvienant at the time.

And also there is a whole lot of your brothers and sisters that die and have died so you can spout off your anti American rhetoric propaganda, you spill the same line but longer sentences. “Women are mistreated, rich mens fault.” I'm sorry, but you have twested form of compassion for a child, if you do not care about it in the womb. I'm hoping your heart will change some day, that is why I will pray for you. You do not believe as I do. I believe, suffer the little children to come unto me, as Jesus said. You just keep speaking, the same old same old, "Some one else’s fault" but, its time people like you quit being victims, "And take responsibility for yourself and you actions."

Now you can smear me all you like Miss Bella. Have your fun, get mad at me and let your emotions go, as you already have.

P.S.
The only time we can really call someone else a hypocrite is when we are not showing ourselevs to be one.

You don't think much of yourself do you bella. I did not realize that I was stupid and you are the only smart one out of all of us. I hate to break it to you but a lot of women get abortions because they had sex but don't want the responsability of having a child. Too many people view children as a ball and chain these days. Something to slow you down and take away your freedom. A child is anything but, to give life is one of the greatest gifts of all. The plain and simple truth of the matter is people who get abortions or support abortions do not value life. They are not responsible and want to blame all their bad decisions on someone or something else. You plainly do not understand or value life at all. You say life doesn't begin until birth. You also say that a person is not really alive until they can support themselves. Well babies can not feed themselves or live on their own for some time after they are born. The same for infants and toddlers. So if you say life doesn't begin until birth but a person is not really living until they can live on their own shows you have a sideways view of life and are not really sure yourself when life begins. The bottom line is you are so liberal that you say that a baby is not alive in the womb just so society or a woman won't feel so bad about snuffing out another life. You value irresponsibility more than you do life.

first of all abortion has never been "legalized" the only reason it is allowed is because the supreme court allowed abortion i the case roe v wade. but lets not forget the supreme court is not the one that makes laws, they just allowed one person to get an abortion so now everyone thinks they can get one too, it is not legal, show me the bill that was passed legalizing it. secondly bella you said if it can not live on its own it is not a human, there are some full grown adult who can not live on their own (some severely mentally handicapped people) does that mean we should kill them because they are not humans or have no benefit to society? Lastly if a woman does not want a child then that woman should not have sex, sex is supposed to be saved till marriage anyways right? then when a woman is married and has sex if she gets pregnant the father will at least stay around if he loves the woman enough to marry her.

I guess we can all come to concultion that it makes bella mad that a woman who worked in an abortion clinic decided to quit because she felt that an unborn baby was alive. Also, that pregnancy is a mans way to control a women. And futher more that an unborn baby is a punishment to a women who is "not ready to have a baby" but "is ready to have sex." All in all I would guess that a baby is an inconvience to mothers therefore they should be aborted if they cannot be cared for the way fits best in a socialists mind and that they should be aborted to help crime rates fall and sucure the future of the earth. All I can say is "WOW." Lets all pray for those who have this type of unnatural affection.

You sicken me with you cold hearted feelings towards human life. You would kill a toddler or an infant simply because they can't live on their own? I also like how you say that men loose interest once the baby is born. Really? Most men who have kids love them, care for them and lord help any one who tries to hurt their child.

Getting back to the main article... Planned Parenthood is a good and necessary resource in our communities. Planned Parenthood does far more than provide abortions. The focus of their education efforts is on pregnancy and STD prevention. The following is their response to Abby Johnson's initial statements:

A former employee has recently made public statements about a “spiritual conversion” as a part of her publicity efforts in opposition to abortion and Planned Parenthood. As a trusted provider of reproductive health care for more than 90 years, Planned Parenthood knows that patients and health care providers experience complex thoughts and emotions about abortion, and that personal views may evolve over time. Planned Parenthood respects everyone’s beliefs and feelings on this most personal of medical issues.

The allegation made by former health center manager Abby Johnson that Planned Parenthood is not focused on prevention, however, is completely false.

Planned Parenthood’s primary focus has always been prevention and that continues to be our focus today. Nationwide and locally, more than 90 percent of the services Planned Parenthood provides are preventive in nature, including life-saving screenings for breast and cervical cancer, wellness exams, contraception, and STD testing and treatment. Planned Parenthood health care helps women stay healthy, plan pregnancy, and avoid an unintended pregnancy. Planned Parenthood values patient confidentiality and takes every measure to ensure that patients at any health care facility can trust that their private medical information remains protected. For this reason, Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southeast Texas has taken steps to ensure that confidentiality is not broken by former employees.

Of the christians you have talkede to, you have obviousley had a very poor sample. Im not trying to control anybody. Im all for womens rights. Women should be able to do whatever they want. Im against ABORTION. If its all about a woman and her responsibiloity, then why dont you get pregnant yourself. Women do a lot of the work in pregnecy(the majority of it)But if a relationship is how it should be, then the man works for the money that feeds that woman and their child. The father also helps care and for the child and raise it. But if its some horny teenager who gets pregnant before marriage and aborts so itll be easier on her, that is completly wrong no matter how you put it. She shouldve gotten married to a nice,respectable man who had a job. That wouldve solved it. All the people I know who have had abortions are teenage girls who did it out of convienience. Quit trying to blame the men and calling us dogmatic control freaks.Its not all the guys fault. The girl(not all cases are rape/incest) chose to have sex with no protection. Your a murdering soy sucking hippie with no respect for life.

Sorry, I'm not trying to make you mad. Just think a little how people look at Christains already. And I have to say probubly with good reason. We need to try and give people a reason to want what Jesus has to offer. That doesn't mean to try and force/convert people but we should live peacable with all men/women with as much as is within us if its possible and we can do it with out compermising our faith. And just because someone makes fun of us really doesn't give us a right to have vengance, and make fun back.

They should be forced to register with the local police as killers or at least as people (i use the term loosely) who do not feel they are responsible for their own actions. Dispicable. makes me ill.

Sorry, just a 15 year old's input...

If a living thing has to be smart enough to take care of itself, then does that justify my want to stick your head in a blender?

All joking aside, Being in the womb is a big part of life, just like life outside of the womb. Life begins when the little heart begins to beat. Maybe even before in other people's books, but that is what it takes for me to consider something living. Saying something is only living when it is independent is just dumb. I mean, just like a baby can't survive without mommy's bodily fluids, people like you couldn't take care of yourselves without your bottles of soy mush.. Does that make you just a piece of liberal meat?
I mean, you are too stupid to hunt, and have such a boring life that you sign up on a hunting site and bullsh*t around instead of taking "liberal action". I mean, good God, even your friends, the dumbass ALF get their message across instead of posting on outdoor sites! What, did they leave you at base cause you couldn't strike a match? You are just as needy as some fetus, yet you call them unliving pieces of meat...

Here are my last words of wisdom. If stupid Liberals would keep your zippers zipped every once in a while, maybe we wouldn't have so many abortions, because people wouldn't be so afraid of having even more big mouthed, dumbass soy suckers running their mouths and clearing the woods for Starbucks centers and Peta buildings!

You twist my words frequently. The assumption that all Buddhist are united in anything is as silly and unrealistic as expecting consistancy from christians (or any "religion" for that matter).
If anyone wants to demonstrate that they are "good" christians, they can only do so by doing good works and demonstrating the love and charity attributed to the great Rebbe. But to me he is just a great Rabbi, just as Gurdijeffe was a great mystical teacher and Bucky Fuller was a great visionary. By their work shall ye know them...

oh WOW you know Bella you're so write I can tell you're very religious by you intolerant rhettoric and choice of commentary towards your fellow posters and pro abortion views... How could I have missed the religion in that? I'm so ashamed of myself that I missed.

As far as mauware I don't send out mauware.. You can look up the links on wikipedia or google them and guess what no link to me so feel free to look up the religions and their views after your sebaticle.

I never claimed to be of any particular religion I said I beleive in GOD!

I've never once said sex was evil... I did say that the woman should've used protection of some sort or chose an alternative way to indulge themselves or abstain.

There you go putting words in my mouth.
I could care less whether or not you carry a gun, chew tobacco, wear the pants in your house etc.. I don't know you from Adam and personnally with your views and ideals I would rather not.

The word God is generic, it doesn't specifically belong to Xtians.
Yessir I am extremely intolerant of intolerance, I'm fanatically opposed to fanatics. If that means you so be it.
And why should I be required to visit links that you think support your case? That is just lazy.
As I said before, if you don't like abortion then don't get one. I don't think medical technology will ever advance to the point that you might ever need one (in this life). But consider if you are wrong and I am right. When you die, you find yourself in the great Bardo, then you find yourself drawn into the light and then to a new body. What if that next life you find yourself in a female incarnation? Karma has a way of turning things around, it has been described as the principle of you make your bed, then you lay in it. There is no good Karma and no bad Karma but there is Karmic Justice. And so we learn throughout time.
So call me intolerant of your intolerant views, you who hate gays and think the ERA should be repealed. The Anti choice thing is just another attempt by men to control a woman's fertility. Men have never managed to do so and never will do so, whether by law or "morality". Men can't control their own virility so they think to control the other half of the species in order to lessen the burden of their own inadequacies. But it is all hubris ( a concept most of you xtians wouln't even fathom.).
I shall repeat again, if you love life, aid the living, walking breathing talking crying members of your species that suffer. If you care about how others feel, work to alleviate suffering that is all about you, it is winter people are cold and food banks are in need of provisions! A fetus whatever it's legal status, only gets nutrition from it's mother, so feed the mother and see that she stays warm and doesn't have to stand on her feet all day long just to eat! Assist pregnant women and you help their unborn children more than you could ever through legislation. If you claim to be "christian" then obey your savior and judge not lest ye be judged!
But don't mess with the secular law with your heretical notions. Jesus said nothing about abortion, nothing at all. If you are going to claim that the strictures in Leviticus apply to people who aren't jews then they All apply, no eating lizards, wearing mixed fabrics, no cheeseburgers, execute non-virginal brides, beards for All the guys, slavery is cool and so is genocide. All or nothing.

A kicking robot that just appear? The cells in our body are produced from meiosis and mitosis. They techinically arent 'born.'Does that mean theyre not alive?And you say the reason why men are against abortion is because we enjoy punishing women.

I am extremely religious, just not your brand of religious. I don't think yo have proven anything with you ad hominum attacks and links I ain't interested in opening. Who knows what sort of malware you might be trying to fob off on people. And where do you get the notion that I might dislike men? That is extremely silly. However my point about men who are anti abortion being physically unattractive is easy to support, Rush Limbaugh is about as physically attractive as Jaaba the Hut. "Reverend" Hagee? another Jaaba, Cheney? Gag me with a spoon! Frankly I tend to think you anti choice dudes just mostly need to get laid more often, that would cure you (but I ain't volunteering). Unfortunately you all tend to think sex is evil anyway (while oogling the scantily clad cheerleaders on football tv!). You want your pie and to eat it too! You have created this "good girl-bad girl" delusion in your heads, where "good girls" are chaste things waiting to get married and become nice little brood mares as opposed to the "bad girls" who put out and party down (those fun loving cheerleaders perhaps? Oh but they are "good"? but why then all the cleavage and leg?).
So Ms Elisha Cuthbert (was that her name?) loverly young thing that she be, is she "good" or is she "bad"? Me, I'm baaad, definately baad. Goody good girls don't tend to wave huge six guns around, don't train in martial arts and don't sass the men, which I will definately do from time to time. But the good die young and I ain't no longer young. They say that men start radical and get conservative as they age, while women start out conservative in outlook and radicalize with age.

And repealing Roe vs. Wade to make abortion illegal again would criminalize hundreds of thousands of women and caregivers. This isn't forcing anything on anyone? As I said before if you don't like abortion, don't get one. It is the "right to lifers" who ironically have killed many innocents by bombing clinics and assassinating caregivers. How wonderfully christian, it reminds me of the Taliban but with less competence (thankfully). I have yet to hear of even one pro choice bombing or assassination, yet I have been labeled a "murderer" for supporting the law as it stands by these supposed "christians" and told I "have no credibility" for calling people out for their double standards and self rightious attitudes. But hey, You all judge yourselves in the end. It is fascinating to try to follow some of the twisted reasoning (or lack of it) and I will always admit to liking to get off a good rant now and again.

In order to be alive, one must be born. Life consists of being born, living then dying. The "preborn" are not alive, as they have not been born yet, just as the "post dead" are not alive either. Now there is lots of evidence for spiritual existence both before and after death, but the only right the dead have is to be left alone to decompose (or not).
Of course all the fundie types who would deny a woman the right to choose what to do with Her Body seem to be men here. I have gone off before about simplisticly minded individuals attempting to foist their twisted religious preferences on the uninterested before and I will say it again. It is not a man's choice. period. All a man can do with regard to a woman's choice to abort is to support her or punish her for doing it. Women have always had the choice to abort, with herbs or instruments (or simple starvation). Men who would regard women as broodstock for producing more boy babies (so they can grow up and die as soldiers) have always deluded themselves that might have some handle on a woman's fertility, but the woman with the womb in question has all the cards until that day when eggs can be hatched In Vitro instead of In Vivo. When Men do go off on these delusionary tangents, somehow they never think to assist women with aid that promotes fertility, good food, rest, love, emotional stability. No it is all about punishment. Men like to punish that which will not submit. When Men get preggers then they can choose to have an abortion.
No woman wants an abortion. Even the simplest D&C is painful on numerous levels. Anyone who thinks a woman would get one blythly doesn't have any idea what is involved. Sure it would be nice to live in a world where nobody ever needed an abortion and every child came into the world loved, but we don't have such a world, so it is better that unwanted children and children born too deformed to function be aborted.
A Previous poster noted that he felt an entire generation (his) was aborted, Yup, that might just be so and you know what? The crime rate was way down a decade later. The same decline in crime was claimed by the Bradyites to be the result of handgun control but was actually result of Roe vs. Wade. When poor women finally had access to abortion they chose not to have unwanted children and an entire generation of unwanted children did not grow up to become criminals. It's in Freakanomics, dudes. So actually if one was to actually do the math, abortion and the 2nd amendment go together like ice cream and apple pie!
This coupling of conservative issues with 2nd amendment issues drives more potential supporters away that the average con might think. I know lots of "liberals" who think guns are really cool but they are put off by the religious fundamentalism and antisecularism of those who would be allies in preserving our 2nd amendment rights.
At any rate a child who hasn't been born has not suffered and being free from sin (except for catholics)goes to heaven. Isn't that what you want? Why is it better for that son of a bad seed and an uncaring mother to grow up a psychopath and maliciously bring hurt and suffering to the world till the Law catches up and sticks a needle in his arm.
If one really cared for the welfare of the "preborn" one should then support the finest in prenatal care and nutrition. Every effort should be made to make mothers to be happy, comfortable and well nourished, because that is what brings happy fat little babies. But the same people who scream bloody murder about the "preborn" always refuse to fund proper prenatal care, let alone things like "Headstart" for the babies after they been born. As far as I am concerned anybody who is anti abortion and wouln't support decent prenatal care for ALL women capable of becoming pregnant are hyppocrites and should shut the hell up about it. Care for the living children first, all of them, then we'll talk.

There is religious law and secular law and the two should never be mixed, lest the obscure practices of one minority be imposed on everybody. Consider circumcism, a religious practice observed by some and deemed child abuse by others. If one were to legislate circumcism how far does one go! Are the uncircumsised not to be considered adult men? Or would it be circumsism itself that be banned, would you then go arrest the Moyle? Would "panty checks" on men be considered valid? Do you then have parents arrested for doing or not doing it? Circumcism is the law in some countries, would there be any point to such here?
Take note I would tend to be agin legislating the Bris, it is religious law and not secular (thankfully) and I will make no statement of any superiority of one style of appendage over another.
Of course I guess that any number of dudes are having fits right now at the equating their units with a ladies secret parts but that is where the double standard lives. If we are going to incorporate religious law into the structure of secular law it is a slippery slope to the imposition of something identical to Shariah law.
I live in Massachusetts, where in the early days of the colony there was a state ordained religion with manditory attendance for all under the iron hand of Puritan law. They used to hang Quakers in Boston you know...Anybody who wants to back to any such thing is truely out of their minds or extremely ignorant of history. We have secular government for a reason and we mess with it at our peril.

She shoulda gotten married to a nice respectable guy with a job? HA! there is where you put your foot in it! Find one! There's a million girls out there lookin' and the Good Men are few or taken. (That's why I'm married sillies). Anyway I have often noticed that anti choice men are usually singularly unattractive or self centered. Just to read some of the posts here makes it abundantly clear. And that is why the Metrosexuals get laid far more often than you fundie dudes. Why any girl would want to marry someone as controlling as any of you fundie dudes is beyond me anyway, you all have your minds locked in the 17th century as far as social evolution goes. I would think the only way you dudes might ever get some is by lying yer faces off or by seeking out the pre brainwashed women from some Xtian Purdah.
After all, for you poor deluded individuals sex is evil anyway, so it is likely appropriate for you to have such unattractive attitudes. You guys likely have to resort to Georgia Homeboy with your dates anyway...
Get yer heads out of the Maddonna/whore complex. If it is good for a man to be virile, then it is also good for a woman to look hot.
Pretty women are pretty for a reason, for enticing the opposite sex. If you believe sex is evil then go be a Muslim. If you think humans are or should be a sexual then you just don't understand biology. I'm certain most of the men out there would if polled agree that sex is good, and they would happily get some anytime if it were only possible. But if sex is good, and handsome men and pretty women are good too, then you can't criminalize abortion. You can not like it, but making it illegal is a travesty against human nature (especially as women have always been able to abort, one way or another- some just don't know how).
So you close minded whackjobs can just go look at a dirty magazines and do what you do. Have some nice fantasies boys...

What nonsense is this I read about someone speculating that if abortion was illegal, then there might be enough american workers so we wouldn't need illegal aliens to do the scut work? Whoever came up with that one is really out of their tiny mind! Migrant workers get exploited by agribusness because agribusness refuses to pay wages or give benifits enough to make such work attractive to american workers. Migrant workers usually make the trip because they have no other option, not because of American underpopulation. What the nativist is actually suggesting that abortion in America has reduced the supply of poor desperate Americans available for agribusness to exploit. He is suggesting he thinks we need more poor homeless people to round up for forced labor! What an Amerikan! Don'tcha just love FREEDOM!

Then you accuse me of being a PETA plant or something...which is ridiculous, if you have even one of my posts on other subjects.
Just because somebody agrees with you on the 2nd amendment doesn't mean they are going to sign on to the whole fundie con agenda. I deeply resent the abortion issue or fundamentalist christianity being in any way coupled to hunting and fishing, You'd think only fundies went fishing!
As far as the 2nd amendment goes the statistics when corrolated show that the claim of the bradyites that gun control brought a drop in the crime rate is completely false. Where the data corrolation jumps out is with Roe vs, Wade, where access to abortion for poor and single women who for whatever reason didn't or couldn't support babies, brought a reduction in the crime rate a decade or so later (as unwanted abandoned kids didn't grow up to tewrrorize the world). You'd think you men would jump on this! Brady is dead wrong! Firearms ownership does prevent personal and property victimization in trained hands! The police in reality, cannot protect and is less and less willing to serve anything other than the whims of the State. A whole lotta folks would happily join the 2nd amendment agenda, except for Fundamentalists driving people off with the stench of their positions on social issues. I don't care if you christians think you have the one and only true god, because I know just as certainly, otherwise. You don't seem to realize the can of worms you open when you couple issues like gun rights and abortion rights, you risk setting folks against you on the gun thing because they dissagree on the choice thing. You want to keep your guns don't you? Then shut the F up about Abortion on the hunting blog! It ain't relevant or germain to the issue and you risk alienating 2nd amendment supporters.

Thank you Dakotah Dan!
And as for you guys, I'm a hippie soy sucker because I have evidence for reincarnation? Perhaps guilty on the hippie thing is, but the offensive assumption of "soy sucking" that's completely false. And I never patronize Starbucks. I am deeply and soo very hurt that you would accuse me of such a perfidious behavior as consuming genetically engineered soy products. (Just a little Kikkoman in the BBQ sauce thanks).
Most humans reincarnate as humans, (read the Bardo Thodol, dudes) although the Wrathful Deities might make an exception for you.
I'm not going to go into either my own personal subjective evidence for reincarnation or the vast collection of anecdotal evidence for it, nor the 5 or 6 major world religions that have produced countless sacred tomes on the subject. Pearls before swine, find out that one for yourself, all you have to do is die...
At any rate it seems the difference of opinion, related to reincarnation or one shot existance has great relevance to the discussion of abortion rights. You "anti's" think we only have one shot at existance then poof it's over, sit on a cloud and strum that harp for the rest of existance. Naturally you think that aborted babes have then lost all opportunity for mortal existence.
Whereas I know this is not so, for I have witnessed much evidence for reincarnation and I have interviewed numerous individuals who have had near death experiences (NDE's) and who all report the same basic experience. To me this is having my faith corroborated and my belief confirmed. I know it is in the nature of believers to accept confirming evidence and reject faith-destroying facts, but I have yet to see any logical argument refuting the evidence for reincarnation. But hey, believe what you like, just don't try to make it law. I wonder how some of your brains work out there.
For one, it is unneccesary to make a law to legalize something, one simply repeals the old bad law. No law was neccesary to make abortion legal. Prohibition (for example) ended when the Volstead Act was repealed. Roe vs. Wade rendered State laws restricting abortion unconstitutional and therefore it became legal. One doesn't need law to permit something seen as a right. However laws restricting things imply punishment for those who tresspass. Any law restricting abortion is only going to apply to women (or those who care for them), who would be punished for doing what nature has always allowed. It would be one thing if humans were like kangaroos, and an embryo crawled out weeks after conception, but human women carry for 9 months and during that time we are frequently weak, tired, sick and vulnerable. That takes committment, the babe in the womb is not like some kind of luggage you can put down, it effects how you eat, sleep and get around. The further along the heavier it gets. A girl has to be committed to the project and happy with her situation to enjoy pregnancy. For many it is months of hell and suffering, the fatigue, the nausia, the kid kicking you in the ribs-from the inside-! A girl has to want it. Otherwise nobody should be forced to have an unwanted parasite leeching her life force away, and that is what a LAW illegalizing abortion would do, punishing women and only women, all for the egos of a minority of self-righteous men.
In a world where women are still tricked and trafficked as objects across international borders, where in some regions girls schools get bombed by extremists and in others they infibulate girls all in the name of one monotheistic religion or another, it is important to stand up for a women's right over her own flesh! No man would ever put up with what men impose on women! Fairness and equality (which I fully realize many of you have no interest in) is the law and the American Way.
Besides you "christians" who berate me for my honest opinions are plainly poor examples of your faith anyway, so frequently you tresspass beyond the teachings of one you supposedly revere. All this judgement, and didn't your Savior teach you otherwise. Not much turning the cheek around here either, your own prejudicial writings condemn your poor conduct (if you indeed claim to be christian). I seem to recall something about "rendering unto Ceasar that which is Ceasars" as well and another bit about "blessed be the peacemaker" too. As far as immorality goes, remember Jesus and the prostitute, Let him who is without sin cast the first stone".
Of course all you fundie types, prefer Paul's line that women should shut up in church, but Paul never met Jesus and tended to impose his personal prejudices on everything he touched. I'll take "the Book of Mary" myself, when we can get the full text, she actually had a relationship with Yeshua except that those Bishops in Nicea wanted to put the girls in their place, so Mary was out and Paul was in. It's No wonder that the Koran has more stories of the actual life of Yeshua than the Vulgate does. Not that I'm any kind of Islamist, but one doesn't get an objective overview without reading ALL the documents. All you Xtians oughta read the Koran (in translation) some time, just for perspective. You might not be so suprised if someone who gets sent to the Sandbox comes home and changes his name to Mohammed after he takes off the khaki shirt for good. After all I can only think of my experience in going to Asia back in the 70's, (and how I still go "to Asia" again every week in my Dojo). Soldiers sent to foreign lands often go native you know.
So call me what you like, friends, I'll go hunting just the same.

Murder is killing people in a context other than self defense or war. Fetuses aren't people until they are viable and can live on their own. If abortion is murder then miscarrage would be manslaughter and it happens for many reasons beyond a mothers control. Would you punish a woman who had a miscarrage?
At any rate if you would punish a woman for ridding herself of a growth she doesn't want and cannot support you should also make onanism illegal. Just consider the millions of potential human beings damned to be unborn every time some teenage boy stimulates himself. To the wall with the murderer! Makes the hundreds of fetuses flushed at the clinic seem like a drop in the bucket!
But it is really about double standards, one for us girls and another for you boys. It's murder for us and amusement for you wankers. As I said before, if you gave a hoot about the preborn you'd be helping pregnant women to keep and provide for potential babies, but no, all you fascists want to do is punish people. Actually helping anybody is faar too "socialist" for you "cons".
You "cons" live in the prison of your own tiny minds and you want to turn the rest of the planet to be a prison too, so you'll have company in your self assumed misery. For some of us however, "freedom" isn't about trying to find new ways to punish our fellow men. Freedom isn't about legislating morality, and the people who seem to most want morality legislated are usually the least moral of the population. No you can't impose your heretical religion on me, whether you think you are the sole repository of spiritual truth or not. Besides I talked to God, and She said you were all full of poop. So There.

If the parents wanted the baby with spina bifeta fine, good for them.
I am saying a lot of traditional boundaries have been stretched really beyond all reason these days. Birth is and always was the start of life, just as death is the end. But now the Anti choice people want to push the definition of "being alive" back to conception and if you are unfortunate enough to eat fugu fish or get brain damage you can find yourself a zombie in a coma, half dead till your families money runs out and somebody turns you off.
Whenever boundaries get pushed somebody gets crushed. I realize many of you out there reading this are not intelligent enough to make that connection or perhaps you do see it and you want traditional social order upturned to suit you.
You cannot succeed in convincing people of your point of view, so you demands a law to force others to see things as you do. So much for liberty, so much for justice, as long as You get Your way, with regards to a procedure that you will never undergo and a situation you will never find yourself in. All because of your dogmatic agenda and that subconscious feeling of loss because you cannot consider women to be property anymore.
I am gonna say it again, if you claim to be pro life, care for the living, help living breathing crying , laughing children, there is no shortage of 'em. But focussing on legislation to restrict thew choices of others who don't share your dogma doesn't help living children, it only messes with the lives of women who likely have enough problems with life already.
Should schizophrenic women confined to locked wards bear children, no. Should Alcoholic or Heroin addicted women bear children while actively abusing? No. Should the profoundly retarded bear children? Is it possible to prevent any of these groups from having sexual intercourse during periods of fertility when any progeny devolved is going to be a burden on society during it's entire painful short period of existance. You guys talk dogma, I talk realpolitic. Love and care for the Living if you are pro life. You guys don't walk your talk. On the day you guys get pregnant, then you can decide about having an abortion. Remember the procedure hurts, a lot. No woman ever wants an abortion, the concept is ludicrous. Abortions are only done as the lesser of two evils, and birthing a child who will not be loved is more evil than abortion.

Oh and a fetus Is just a lump of meat in a woman's body. In point of fact we are ALL meat. Just ask any bear or hyena, we're meat all right. In point of fact I have encountered and observed numerous individuals soo incredibly worthless as to make one wish a bear or hyena might happen by and make meat of them, quickly with maximum bloodspatter.
Somebody accused me of being "pro death", and I might actually agree with them, but at least I'm consistent. I am anti-suffering and pro happy! We all gonna die, deny it all you like so I intend to enjoy myself while I'm here. You fundies are all about denial anyway, you deny yourselves the joy in your own bodies and you actively work to make others miserable. You don't follow your own religion, but make up stuff and try to force it on people, but hey, you'll die soon anyway, then you'll find out whats what. You guys are plainly terrified to die, because in youre heart of hearts, you don't really want to be stuck on a cloud with a harp- Forever is a looong time dudes. You go ahead and do that, I'm reincarnating again. I remember at least 6 previous times in some detail and I only wish you dudes could remember your previous experiences as well. Then we wouldn't have these lame arguments, cause you'd know what I know. Of course all you fundies could be one-shots, doomed to fall like moths to the flame, but hey the Demiurge needs souls too, to fuel that fire...Gnosis man, Gnosis is what it is...

Why should I care about some woman in a clinic quitting her job?
It doesn't change my opinions. Men have no control over pregnancy other than assisting the woman to have proper nutrition and a secure place to live during her time of vulnerable gravidity. But hey, none of you guys want to support any "socialist" programs like Head Start. You just care that the babies get born and not whether they are deformed or stunted. After all, once they are born, you "cons" loose any interest.
At any rate your desire to impose your religion on others is as offensive to me as whatever you consider "socialism" is to you and your fellow cons. I will resist by any means neccessary any attempt to impose any sort of religious dictatorship on our secular nation and I could care less if you think your particular heresy is "the only true" whatever. You are welcome to your delusions but if you impose them on me and mine, I will object and push back.

I can see why conservatives who support the notion of private for profit prisons might also support antiabortion movements. Unwanted neglected children usually grow up poor and disadvantaged and inevitable get in trouble with the law, providing fresh population for the private prisons to be paid to incarcerate. Besides that, you also get to imprison the women who try to get abortions and the doctors who provided them. More money to be funneled from taxpayers into private pockets! Eventually the conservatives would get what they want, nice nonunion (but well paid and secure for life) jobs as screws guarding the concentration camps that contain everyone else. Then you'll have your Amerika, (the one you really want) but it wouln't be America, not the one the rest of us love...
