Roe v. Wade v. Kristi

Anytime you impose your will over another it is wrong. We don't allow slavery in this country ... let's keep it that way.

Wow im very surprised how many WOMEN are for turing over Roe v. Wade. You do know what it all means right? Not that women have much rights to began with espically on fed. land (tribes ect.) but taking away the right to CHOOSE after WE WOMEN have come this far to even be able to vote much less having the RIGHT to be posting our own comments is plain out STUPID think about it for a min. what about the women who get raped the women who get raped by their own FAMILY for them not to have a choice after what they have been through is sick!or the women who do become pregnant but find out the baby is growing in the tubes not in the womb! could DIE both the child and the mother come on WOMEN think about it were still under men but were trying why would you want to take away your own rights?

The amendment failed and received less than 27 per cent of the vote. Keep your religion out of my government, as it should be. If you want to live in a theocracy, move to Iran.

The fact that so many people end up resorting to abortion as a means of birth contol is a sad testament to the carelessness and irresponsibility of so many Americans. With all our sex education and the easy and universal availability of contraceptives, it is amazing to me that our society still has so many unwanted pregnancies. Sure, there's gonna be "heat of the moment" sexual adventures, but what's so difficult about remembering to whip out the rubber? Contraception is so simple and easy in our sophisticated society that there is simply no excuse for an unwanted pregnancy, much less the need to abort an unwanted baby. And, with some some exceptions, most Americans who are opposed to abortion have no problem with contraception, so the moral dilemma is completely avoided. C'mon, people! What's so hard about this?

Anyone traveling outside the country or overseas is required to have a valid passport, even small childeren and infants. This is for their protection and to prove that they are in fact accompanied by their parent(s) or legal guardian(s).
If you take the pro-lifer's beliefs to legally establish that an unborn fetus is a person with constitutional rights, then that means that unborn fetuses will ALL be required to have an ultrasound picture ID and a Social Security Number. This also means that EVERY airport and port of entry will have an ultasound security checkpoint for ALL women of childbearing age, and security personnel will have to be trained to visually & accurately verify the ultrasound ID to the security machine image. What happens to a woman who doesn't/didn't know that she is/was pregnant? Can she then be arrested/detained for illegally transporting an unborn "person" across national borders or state lines? You have to look at things past the point of where your beliefs originate, not just the issue of whether or not an abortion is murder. Anti-abortion laws will only take away freedoms and free will from people by allowing for a very Orwellian and 1984ish type of society.

A fertilized chicken egg ... does NOT make it a chicken. It is yolk and membrane and unable to survive outside of the egg. It is not in any sense of the word a chicken.

I'm relieved to hear that this proposition didn't pass. The legal implications of making a mass of dividing cells defined as a person have not been fully explored. Just off the top of my head...would embryos, zygotes and fetuses then have the ability to vote, since under law, they would be US citizens? Since they can't physically vote, could their mothers then vote in their place, thus casting two votes? This is a very intrusive idea, akin to forcing our police to make sure that mothers don't smoke, eat too much or the wrong foods or drink during pregnancy. I don't know about you, but I consider my body to be *mine*. Some women feel that smoking or drinking a bit during pregnancy are okay, considering that women have done so for decades and their children are just fine - so could they now be charged for abuse? And who would determine what abuse has taken place, especially since one can't always prove or see that drinking/smoking has harmed a fetus until it is born? For all those paying attention to the Bible, it repeatedly mentions "breathing life" into people and "the breath of life.". Because of these statements, I believe that life begins when a baby breathes. Again, your obsession with potential life (it's really a fetus fetish, just admit it) makes you turn a blind eye to real, actualized life. You don't care about the mother, just the mass of dividing cells in her body that may or may not become a real, live baby (miscarriages, fatal birth defects, etc.).

Excuse me but wouldnt "God" want us to help the millions of Americans suffering with the over 50 diseases that stem cell research can cure? Let me get this right Republicans are against big government, yet they want to tell you who you can or cant marry, tap your phones and force millions of young mothers into back allys for abortions with metal clothing hangers. Simply making things illigal does not get people to stop doing it! Especailly when they are backed into a literal dark corner.

I wish I'd known about this initiative when it might have been possible to support it. Personhood, from the time of conception to the time of natural death is exactly the issue. But we live in what some have called "The Culture of Death", and even the statements in this article by the various Right To Life groups prove it. For someone to say, "Now is not the right time to do this" is patently absurd. When is the right time to stop people from killing people?

I say kudos to Kristi Burton, and encourage one and all to consider what John Paul 2 called "The Theology of the Body" for a profound examination of what constitutes a human being and what will make that human being happy.

Thanks for your time.
