'Health' of the Mother

If a person does not feel as though they can give a child a decent life, maybe they should consider making the choice of not having sex until they are in the position to deal with the possible outcome. Go without sex? Are you nuts? Reminds me of the SNL skit with Steve Martin "Don't Buy What You Can't Afford." We can't expect people to use common sense!

And I think I will go to an abortion clinic and ask these questions: 1. Do you know that sex can result in pregnancy? 2. Do you use birth control? 3. Do you value life? 4. When are you planning to have sex again?

According to Planned Parenthood more than 1 out of 3 American women have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old. Other resources state that approximately 1% are attributed to health reasons, rape, or incest. When did we obtain these cold, callous values?

And, why don't we pro-lifers mind our own business? Because we are the only ones that unborn children have advocating for them!!!!!

I am suprised anyone is suprised that anti-abortionists don't care about the life of the mother. They never have, women die every day in the United States giving birth. The anti-abortionist never talk about that, or that all kinds of pregnancies, such as eptopic, kill both the mother and the unborn child. These people are not pro-life, they want to force other people do to what they want with no regard for the consequences. So do not be suprised when the health of another person doesn't matter to them, just vote to make sure they are never in postions of power to do more harm.

HUSSEIN TO ALLOW UNRESTICTED MURDER OF THE INNOCENTS........

He promised at a Planned Parenthood event in July 2007 that ""he first thing" he will do as president -- his top priority for the nation -- is sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would erase every federal and state restriction on abortion, no matter how modest. His TOP PRIORITY, again, is to re-legalize partial birth abortion under all circumstances, abolish all laws on informed consent and parental notification, and eliminate all state restrictions on taxpayer funding of abortions.

Like it or not...the "Freedom of Choice Act" is exactly as stated above.....

Huusein is willing to MURDER babies to gain loons vote. SICK...SICK...SICK...

NOBAMA!!!

I am 38 years old and the mother of five. When I was 30, and three months pregnant with our third child, I found out I had leukemia. My first thought was for the health of my baby. I didn't even want to have a bone marrow biopsy if it were going to hurt the baby. Thankfully, it was a chronic form, not acute: treatment with chemo could wait until right after I delivered. But there were other concerns--bleeding to death during labor, for one. And then there was the fact that the kind of leukemia I had was typically found in men, aged 54 and older. My hematologist did some research and was unable to find any record of another woman having been pregnant with this type of leukemia. Despite the unknowns, I would never have considered an abortion. Three years later, after adopting child number 4, we were surprised to find out I was pregnant. We had been using birth control and thought we were done at four children. My husband had even made an appointment for a vasectomy. When I was five months pregnant, and continually sick, we found out the leukemia had returned. My new OBGYN (we had moved to another state) asked me if I wanted to have an abortion. I told her I wouldn't even consider it, and I was mortified thinking that other pregnant women with the same disease would choose to abort their children (understandably, out of fear and panic) because their doctors hadn't taken time to research the risks/odds and tell them that, in all likelihood, they and their babies would be fine. The week I was due to deliver by c-section, I had a placental abruption (something my hematologists later said had nothing to do with the leukemia). The baby and I almost died. A full hour went by between the time we called 911 and the time we arrived at the hospital. I lost so much blood! I was in and out of consciousness and truly believed I was dying--and I felt perfect peace... no regrets. From the time we arrived outside the hospital to the time the baby was removed from my womb, only 10 MINUTES went by--IT TAKES LONGER TO DO A PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION THAN IT DOES TO JUST DELIVER THE BABY!!!! Everything happened so quickly that I was afraid they were going to cut me open before I was completely under, but I was having a hard time communicating my concern because I was so weak and out of it. As the anesthesia took affect, my last thought was for my baby. I thought I was going to wake up to some very bad news. Praise God our son lived and is perfectly healthy (after he was born they told us he might have brain damage or cerebral palsy from having been oxygen deprived). My high risk pregnancy doctors were/are some of the best known in the country--the kind who do heart surgery on babies still in the womb. The doctor on call the night of the placental abruption later said; "Women from all over the country are referred to me. And in my entire career, your situation was one of the two most serious I've ever encountered." They referred to o

To BAXCY: Giving a "rat's ass" is hardly fair to the rat. Why is it always the rat who has to sacrifice his ass when it comes to important issues? The rat is an innocent little creature, created by God and has rights too, ya know.Did anyone ask the rat if he would mind if we killed him for a little thing we call an opinion? What's that?? I can't hear you? OH IT"S BECAUSE THE RAT DOESN"T HAVE A VOICE. I think you should apologize to the rat and the rats before him who laid their asses down for the preposterus notion that an unborn chlld has rights. I mean if he has to take it up the ass I guess the unborn child with no voice is gonna have to take the hit as well. All's fair in the animal kingdom; only the strong survive

A woman's reproductive life is not something that should be under the control of the courts nor religious groups. It is that woman's business and her partner's regardless of her (or theirs) reasons.. Period.
FYI How can abortion be murder if that perjorative term is not accurate. A fetus that cannot live on it's own, is not technically alive nor is a a fetus a "man" nor "woman" nor even a "baby" or "child" because it 's development. It's a potential and not an actual. It is a fetus. Period.


Hyperemotionalisms and loaded terms don't make it an accurate statement.

What in the world is going on here? Pro-lifers, dont jus thalk the talk, walk the walk. How about all the Pro-lifers commit (on national tv) to adopting three children into their homes no matter the circustances of the children. With that kind of support there would be no need for abortion! Just get pregnant and drop the baby off at one of your houses. In fact, why dont we start a national registre of your names and see how many people apply.
Tha fact of the matter is I'd rather see a women choose to have an abortion than have the child and the child is abused by some form or another.

Air quotes do not suggest a "total lack of regard" for a woman's health. It was simply another way of expressing his diapproval of stretching the meaning of "health" to excuse unnecessary abortions. Such inflamatory reactions are only a twist of a left biased perspective, no less than the lipstick and pig thing blown up by the conservatives. When will we stop reacting without thinking? Such a waste of words and time.

I believe in a woman's right to CHOOSE! Even Sarah Palin admitted that her pregnant teenaged daughter "CHOSE" to have her baby. Many women CHOOSE NOT to have abortions, and that is their right, just as it is the right of other women to CHOOSE to HAVE an abortion, and NO ONE has the right to tell another woman what to do with her body. To FORCE a rape victim to carry a pregnancy to term is downright cruel. Even then, some women CHOOSE to do just that. The point is that it is their CHOICE!
To suggest that a woman's health or even life is ok to risk for an unborn child is insane. People, this is America, where we should be able to have our own choices, not be subjected to the demands and opinions of others who wish to force their will upon others.

shorty22, you are ABSOLUTELY right. Do WHATEVER you want to your body.
Abortion, however, is not killing the woman. It is killing another entirely different body(the baby's body).
That's not ok. It's not religious- it's common sense.
