    And most abortions occur before eight weeks

    Are you prepared though to put your hand in your pocket to support those "children"?

    Agreed, which, IIRC, is exactly the time when they find out they are pregnant.

    No, I doubt more than a small percentage of anti-abortion RWers are willing to support those children from pre-natal care to adulthood. They're just against abortions as a religiously-based belief. Once the child is born, they don't give a ****.

    So your defense is that you’re too ignorant to take a stand on maternity leave and child support, so you’ll just support the parts about family planning related to controling women’s bodies?

    I hear adopting is expensive...How many have you adopted?

    That said, no woman is obligated to gestate for someone else.

    Pregnancy and child birth cost a lot of money, gestation causes women permanent and temporary physical damage and pain, child birth especially....

    Why should a woman risk her health, finances, job, education to have a kid for someone else?

    Plenty of people are willing to pay adoption fees.

    Many adoption agencies will cover the expecting woman's expenses.

    And abortion causes lifetime emotional damage and depression.

    No, all abortions do NOT cause lifetime emotional damage and depression , it can with some women but so can pregnancy and child birth...or being raped or being mugged or losing a loved one or getting divorced or losing a job or getting cancer or being abused or developing a mental disease... or any other life changing event...did you want to ban them all?

    Uh, no. Like I said later in that post, I don't see anything wrong with either. My only problem is ending a human life.

    Then can I assume you are against all wars and criminal executions and CEOs of companies who knowingly produce products that kill people . (just to name a few)?

    Oh, yeah, that’s true; you seemingly contradicted yourself in that post. First you couldn’t make an informed opinion; then you didn’t see any wrong with it. I’ll just assume that’s an uniformed opinion.

    Thanks for clarifying.

    I have yet to meet anyone that after childbirth said "I wish I had aborted my baby".

    All the other legit issues listed aren't avoidable. Abortion is.

    Probably because the only people you know wanted their baby. How many do you know that bragged about their abortions or how many they've given up for adoption?

    Why are you so willing to take the money out of the pockets of American taxpayers to pay for these unwanted children?

    WTF does that have to do with the FACTS I posted above? Answer: Nothing.

    I hardly think you have met every mother on earth...



    So? That doesn't make your claim about what it does to women valid!!!!

    Do you regularly ask women nasty questions?

    " Excuse me lady, have you ever had a child, and do wish you had aborted it?"

    Why would anyone brag about getting an abortion, such a shameful act. It would take a disgusting person to do that.

    I know people that didn't want their baby and did an adoption. One being my mother. Wasn't me, but an older half-sister.

    How do the taxpayers pay? If they don't get an abortion they can always find couples that want to adopt.

    Republicans also claim to be the party of family values, of moral values, and of Christian values. But history clearly shows that the majority of them are Pharisees whose claims are readily refuted by their pro war and pro death policies.

    NO, they do NOT always find people waiting to adopt.

    IF that was true there would be NO children in the system and there is, LOTS of them...waiting for you to adopt them.

    Some kids actually "age out" of the system because no Anti-Choicers adopt them.
    BTW, WHO do you think pays for these kids in the system? DUH, taxpayers.


    AND that still does not address :

    No woman is obligated to gestate for someone else.

    Pregnancy and child birth cost a lot of money, gestation causes women permanent and temporary physical damage and pain, child birth especially....

    Why should a woman risk her health, finances, job, education to have a kid for someone else?
