The Changing Face of Abortion

sadamerican2008: following your logic, then men who don't wan their spouse/partner to carry the child to term and live birth should also have the right to say no. it's my wallet and i specifically did not want a child in my life.

Just looking at the stats on violence against women tells me the state does not care about protecting women. Our possible new VP decided to charge rape victims for their rape kits in the state of Alaska which has the highest rate of sexual assault. Outrageous that people will still vote for her. the state of Nevada, where women are a legal commodity, has a serial killer on the loose and I think they should be forced even more so, to protect women especially since they benefit from their exploitation. Because women bear the responsibility, often alone, to raise children, no person can judge these women for their choice. If you want to send them pampers and give them health insurance maybe you can make them slaves of the state, forcing them to give birth, breeding poverty and soldiers of course. Margaret Sanger understood the challenges women face, here's a quote by her....................

War, famine, poverty and oppression of the workers will continue while woman makes life cheap. They will cease only when she limits her reproductivity and human life is no longer a thing to be wasted.

I don't know why this is even an issue - in fact it's a non-issue. What the "christians" fail to recognize is that abortion is legal...even though they have implemented every measure possible to make it more difficult to get. It's a moral issue and moral issues cannot and should not be legislated. Women should have cheap, easy access to birth control, morning after pill, as well as education. There isn't a male on the planet without the ability to walk away from a pregnancy - so why do the mostly male lawmakers have any say at all?

I hear the word "Pro-Choice" batted around often. I also understand that there are SOME cases where rape, incest and the life of the mother are at stake; however I do not believe these account for the majority of abortions. What I am puzzled by is that every woman has a choice. How can a woman have unprotected sex and not realize the potential outcome of a BABY. Pro-Choice means you have the right to choose to have sex or not have sex, not end the life of a heart beat. I have friends that are against the overturning of Roe v. Rade. They get outraged at the pictures of aborted babies, but the reality is that is a heartbeat that was ended. Why would we endorse or promote this as a society????

start accepting that advise

in fact it does work...........for those who work it..........

One problem is that all their lives women have been taught that this is a mere matter of choice. Without really examining the issues, without really looking at the advances in medicine that show what is actually in the womb, the issues of finances, relationships and mere bother seem more daunting than the moral realities of what happens in abortion at any stage. Graphic images such as on www.abortionno.org are ignored or shunned as if they have no validity at all, as if these images don't reflect any reality. It's time to take a second serious look at the reality of what abortion is. The rhetoric war of "choice" was won long ago. Maybe only those shicking images of baby body parts will help people to recognize the horror that we seem to accept as a "right."

I don't want to hear a damn thing about how evil abortion is until men are held just as accountable as women are for children. For every man who states he cares for women, there are so many who don't. When society demands that fathers care for their children, then the need for abortion will plummet. Men who abandon and refuse to pay for the care of their kids are on every socio-economic level. If all of the right to lifers would spend their time and resources picketing the offices of men who don't pay their child support instead of shoving pictures of torn up fetuses in women's faces, we might see some progress. I don't know a SINGLE women who WANTS to have an abortion. If men were vilified for having children outside of marriage, if men were held accountable to society for not taking care of the women they have sex with, if men had to deal with total strangers giving them grief for the choices they have made, then we might see the need for abortion drop.

It's interesting that there are no comments here about the fathers of these children. Being flippant and saying "just don't get pregnant in the first place" doesn't fix the problem. Give all women excellent health care, support women with resources and moral support if they are taking care of children alone, make sure that all children are well educated, have excellent health care, are well fed and you erase 99% of abortions.

This discussion is just more of the same crap. It's interesting how most of you people have no problem telling someone how to live, but you don't want to be bothered to support them. You CANNOT invoke only one part of the bible in your discussion. If you believe that 'thou shall not kill", then you have to believe that men have to take care of their families, that women are to be honored, oh, and children are the responsibility of the entire family and COMMUNITY.

If you espouse it is wrong to kill an unborn child, then where are you when a child dies of starvation? Of neglect? Of abuse? Where are the obnoxious and vocal picketers for that? Where are the horrifying pictures and billboards for that? Where are the indignant Newsweek articles on that? Where are the "strong Christian men" on those discussion boards!?!

You can't have it both ways. If you sit on your ass and complain, you are part of the problem. Step up or SHUT UP!

a hammer on your head causes pain.......suggestion.....dont do it

sex causes children.....if it's too painful.....dont do it
