Roe v. Wade v. Kristi

So, following the scenerio from my previous comment... What happens if I don't report the loss of a "person" in my womb, is that improper disposal of a body? Will the father have to pay child support while this "person" is developing? Will not getting prenatal care be a crime of neglect? What if a desperate teen tries to self abort and succeeds? is that murder? Attempted murder for failing? All you pro-lifers! let me know!

President Obama...wow, that has a nice sound to it...may not have the military experience, but I know that Colin Powell will help in the cause. And our U.S. military is very self-sufficient and can take names even without a President without the experience. President Obama is an expert in Law...he excels tremendously in this aspect...Harvard Law Graduate...have to know your stuff to graduate from there. And, ya never know, President Obama may finally get the EFCA rolling so all American workers can have dignity in the workplace again. We, as a nation, need to pray that our leaders wiil make wise decisions in these troublesome times. It took us quite a few years to get to this economic mess, it's going to take quite some time to recover from it.

So... if a fertilized egg is a living person and has all the rights... will I go to jail if I unknowingly drink and inhale smoke, causing the possible death or deformation of said "person" in my womb? Unless you are testing every day, every week, you won't know when you are pregnant for an average of 6-8 weeks, meaning I will engage in a lot of bad habits. Will I go to jail? Will they take any of my live born children from me for neglect? abuse?

To those who like to say it is supposed to be the 21st century I ask... what is so different from those who ruled during the feudal systems of past centuries when they had the choice to kill any innocent adult, child or baby because they "owned" them, from those who think they have the choice to kill innocent (alive babies in the womb). Those who so chose to kill innocent life for what ever reason have not progressed into what the 21st century should be like. This is not so different than those who decided to kill innocent people in gas chambers in the not so distant pass. Life is life. That fact cannot be changed.

To those who say this is the 20th century.... yes it is ... then why do some continue to kill the innocent (live babies in the womb) and think we have come a long way from the feudal systems where many innocent (adults, children and babies) were killed for just being on the bottom of the the society totempole. Have those who do so really live with 20th century? Or are they just feudal 'kings' in different garments?

This person is a disgrace to Colorado and to Law students everywhere. This makes me disgusted to be a Colorado native and a Law student. This is supposed to be the 21st century in a Democracy not the 20th century is a totalitarian government. The day that one person decides that they have the right to tell all women what their rights to their body are that is the day that advances in women's rights have failed and been sent back to the middle ages.

This person makes me disgusted to be from Colorado and a Law student. The day the religious right decides the rights of all women is the day that the past advances in women's rights are destroyed. This is supposed to be the 21st century NOT the middle ages.

To the Pro-Choice: save the animosity and use that energy to lead the way for the pro-lifers to follow.. All that energy could be used to show how to care for the children who are here already. Make the pro-lifers hypocrits; they seem to forget the meaning of the phrase "sin of omission." By not helping those children living in bad circumstances and advocating more to be born into the same conditions while doing nothing to help, they are choosing their own damnation.
To Pro-lifers: Please don't forget that you live in the United States of America. You have the right to voice your opinion; but you do not and never have had the right to legislate your beliefs. Use your voice in a more productive way. Teach children how to prevent pregnancy instead of telling them not to have sex. Choosing to keep the innocent ignorant of harsh reality hasn't worked yet, and i doubt it ever will. I think that your obsessions are unhealthy: you seem to think of the human body as a source of shame and guilt instead of embracing it for the beauty that God granted it.
Also to the Pro-lifers: Though you want undeveloped cells to be considered life in everyone's eyes, why do you so disrespect the very Earth that God granted you? Why aren't you also advocating for the respect of ALL life on this planet instead of turning a blind eye to the evils that are being commited against the land? Or is it that you should really just call yourselves "Pro-Pre-Born Individual" people?

Oh byt the way, to Spacekatt, the reason that the words "fetal development" and "fetal termination" are used is because these are MEDICAL terms...and the words "fetal termination" are not used in medicine, rather abortion (the proper term) is used.
But of course, the word "baby" or "child" is no a medical term either.
Don't mean to be rude, but let's keep the rhetoric logical...

600,000 women will have all of their rights and even their very bodies destroyed without any due process this year...and the choice to do this will be made by other women who say they have a right to do this because of where these 600,000 women live. No one will hear them scream. I live in a city of 120,000...5 TIMES as many women will be killed in this travesty of justice THIS YEAR than populate my entire city. But this constitutes only half of the slaughter. In total approximately 1.2 million pre-born men and women have been destroyed annually since the "right" for their mothers to do so was discovered by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade. Over 48.5 MILLION abortions in total since 1973. Can you even fathom what these numbers mean? So explain how would banning abortion lead to MORE death?

I guess it is easier to use phrases like fetal developement and fetal termination. Why not just call it like it is and say child developement and child killing if that is what you believe.I realize that you pro-choice people don't care but the truth is the truth. Abortion is nothing more that legalized child killing and if that suits you then live with it. I'm sure it probably doesn't bother you one bit.

I apologize for the numerous typos. Just had 2 teeth pulled and kinda looped right now ;)

I firmly believe in Roe v. Wade. It is the woman's right to choose what she does with her body in regard to if and when she engages in sexual intercouse, as well as if and when she chooses to carry a pregnancy to term or to have an abortion.

That said, those who cite that women should keep their legs closed need to follow their own advice and keep their d**** in their pants. And should the unthinkable happen and the choice to abort is taken away from women, and they are forced to bear unwanted children, then the men that they slept with should (upon proof of conception) be forced to pay child support, open an savings account for college, as well as assuming all responsibilities for insurance and medical bills for the next eighteen years of the child's life.

Pro-lifers do not get it. All they can do is rant and rave about one singular aspect of the potential for human life. Let's not even get into the discussion of whether or not the fetus has life-threatening genetic defects or not--because women choose to abort then as well. It is selfish, narrow-minded reasoning on the part of an outsider to force unwanted and unsolicited judgement on a situation that is not his or her own.

To emiceek:
And that comment should be directed at men as well...if they don't want children they should tie a knot in it dumb ***, Otherwise be prepared to accept responsibility for moments of passion.

Whether you like it or not,it is OUR bodies and OUR choice! This is also a medical issue,between a patient and her doctor,and is not the government's business. I also agree with knorton,as to the pro lifers focusing on all the unwanted children. I also found it a interesting thought that since life ends when the brain waves are gone,what about when life begins?
