As noted, in advanced democracies, the individual herself makes personal decisions for herself (in consultation with trusted medical and spiritual advisers and loved ones) until a fetus reaches viability during the gestative process. Opposing such personal freedom and responsibility are some who wish to have the State, through politicians, seize control and dictate.
She did the moment she dropped her drawers she new she could get pregnant. Murdering someone to cover up for your bad choices is not a good decision.
So you are pro-choice in certain situations... So women who have an abortion are irresponsible murderers...
Pathetic. Advanced democracies respect the freedom of citizens to make such personal decisions in consultation with trusted medical and spiritual advisers, friends and family. Radical Statists want politicians and bureaucrats to seize control and dictate.
Ever hear of "New Beginnings"? They supply diapers, formula and other assistance to women who decide to give their baby life. Pro lifers give a lot of support through that. But I think you probably have in mind cradle to grave sustenance. Most pro aborts are of the leftist persuasion and very Socialistic minded.
Nonsense sex outside marriage is self destructive and dehumanizing especially for women. By your definition a radical statist would be some who thinks there should be laws against murder and theft.
? 8% of abortions are acceptable as per the 12yr. old rape victim? So you are pro-choice? Modern women do not find extra-marital sex self destructive or dehumanizing to them therefore it is not, only in your opinion which is an outlier.
Spoken as STDs not only spread but become more and more Drug resistant and the residual effects become better known.
You are free to preach to your personal version of morality to your heart's content. Keep your politicians and bureaucrats out of the womb until the stage of gestation at which a person has developed.
A mindless, microscopic amalgam of cells can have unique dna. That does not make it a person. Only toenails.
The child in the womb has a beating heart and unique DNA. Your toenails have your DNA. Do you let your friends bite them?
It is indeed a difficult decision, to judge what is best for you and your family. But you don't give a sh*t about that do you? Your view is how do I win this debate. How can I rationalize this view as killing babies as I sit in my comfortable chair as others make difficult heart breaking decisions about where their life is going, well FY.
Brain-dead individuals have unique DNA and can register a heartbeat. Some attempt to push their State control of wombs based upon the existence of a microscopic, mindless amalgam of cells. Before a person has developed, most Americans recognize and respect the right of a woman to make decisions for herself in consultation with trusted medical and spiritual advisers, friends and family. Allowing politicians to arrogate that freedom is a bad idea. Most Americans support Roe v Wade and oppose government intrusion in such a personal matter.
If that is your notion, so be it. However, unlike extremists of one stripe or another, most Americans recognize that a person develops during the gestative process. Under Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that, during the first trimester of pregnancy, the decision on whether to abort must be left exclusively to the woman. For the second trimester, the Court ruled that the state could regulate abortion only in order to protect the woman’s health. During the last trimester, and after the fetus was considered “viable” (could survive on its own outside the mother’s womb), state laws were permitted to restrict and prohibit abortion except when an abortion would be necessary to preserve the health of the mother.
So it is a difficult decision on whether or not you want to still a beating heart??? You don't give a sh** about that do you? That is just tough. Sorry for the inconvenience.
