Roe v. Wade v. Kristi

This issue was decided a long time ago via Roe v Wade, so it's time for the pro-lifers to focus their money & attention on all the unwanted children currently living in this country. When they adopt all of the crack babies and poor children who flounder in our foster care system, then maybe they can preach their anti-abortion agenda. Until then, what I do with MY BODY is MY CHOICE!

This issue baffles me. Ok. Let's do some critical thinking. Kids are having sex. They are getting pregnant. The ones who don't have abortions for age, financial, emotional reasons are throwing their newborns is the microwave, in the dumpster, trying to flush them down the damn toilet. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS ON THE NEWS WHEN I START MY DAY. KEEP ROE VS. WADE AND FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON ABSTINENCE AWARENESS CHANGE THE PROBLEM DON'T BE A BLEEDING HEART.

And how arrogant to assume I haven't adopted children.

You can be charged with a crime without intent. There are laws whereby if you are grossly negligent (say in the case of doing other things while driving and you hit someone) but not necessarily with the intent to hurt someone you can still be charged with vehiciular homicide.

Those of us who take a scientific apporach to determine what we believe could easily make the argument that a baby born before a certain point cannot possibly survive on their own and therefore are not "alive" by science terms. With this being the case I see no way you could provide protections to a fertilized egg anymore you can to a corpse as neither are alive by those terms.

Stop trying to subject others to your religious beliefs. If I wanted those beliefs I would go to church with you every sunday wednesday and saturday afternoon. Not your body, not your decision, not your business. If we could only get 1/2 the religous zealots in this country to adopt a baby we would never need state run foster care. Seems their "caring" only lasts until the baby is born and then it becomes not your problem.

If I don't have a right to tell strange men what to do with their testicles, nobody should have the right to determine what happens (or not) within the confines of my uterus. So what is next? If a fertilized egg is a "PERSON" and a woman suffers a miscarriage it opens the door to examinations of that woman's conduct: A miscarriage would then equal criminal behavior like child endargerment, or negligent conduct...Did she forget to take her prenatal vitamins? Did she have a cup of coffee? Was she smoking? Why was she working a full-time job, when she needed to be in the kitchen, barefoot?! Where does the intrusion stop? When did the American female become a mere incubator?
So, what happens to those "PERSONS" after they are born to parents that don't want them? To a parent or parents that cannot take care of them? Cannot afford them? Parents that don't have health insurance? Parents that lost their jobs? Is Ms. Kristy (and supporters) going to adopt them all...give them ALL loving homes?! Nope. These "PERSONS" are going to fall into the system (any system): the welfare system, the foster care system, the prison system...take your pick. Systems that are supported by MY TAXES...my hard-fought, sweat-off my forehead, taxes. So thanks but, no thanks!
Either this country starts really educating children about sex, develop a more inclusive adoption system, "clean-up" Roe v. Wade (to make it really work in the way that it was intended), OR we do none of the above declare fertilized eggs to be "PERSONS," eliminate sex-education completely, and then increase my taxes to I can "gladly pay more...to stop murdering unborn people." Because it makes perfect sense that interest's of human cellular material are MORE important than the interests of hard-working americans who are ACTUALLY, CURRENTLY walking the earth. Perfect sense.

Since, conservatives typically are the ones who are pro-life as well as for lower taxes, I want for those people to ponder this issue that is never addressed. Fact: the highest % of women that have abortions are from low-income families. Now, if abortion is outlawed that will mean these low income families are going to grow in size and have even more trouble financially taking care of themselves. When poor families can not take care of themselves the government has to step in to assist the family financially either through subsidized housing, healthcare and or food stamps. If the size of these low-income families increase then they will need even more assistance from the government then they already receive. Who is going to pay for these increases? You got it the tax payer, the same tax payer who is Pro-life and also wants lower taxes. Also, in areas where there are large groups of low income families, statistically speaking there will be a higher crime rate. If there is a high crime rate that means the community is going to want to increase the local law enforcement. By increasing the local law enforcement, the local taxes are going to be increased in order to pay for the increased budget of the local law enforcement.

Now will an economic conservative who is Pro-life and wants lower taxes please explain to me how you can socially and economically solved this issue. Oh, yeah I forgot to mention most conservatives are against preventive healthcare approaches. Because abstinence only teachings have been doing wonders. (Note the sarcasm).

I have been saying it for years - the only way to defeat the anti-choice crowd is to push them to the logical extremes of their ideology. This whole "life begins at conception, therefore abortion is murder" position is indeed untenable when taken to its logical conclusion: if this is the case, then there ought to be NO exceptions for rape or incest, and NO exceptions for the health, or maybe even the life, of the mother. If an embryo is a person, then pregnant women can be charged with endangering the welfare of a minor for eating mahi mahi (mercury!), changing the litter box, or smoking a cigarette. They should be able to drive in the carpool lane and should pay for two tickets at the movies or theater. And, since up to one third of all conceptions spontaneously abort within the first few weeks (often before the woman is even aware she was pregnant), the police will need to devise ways of determining the cause of death for failed conceptions, and prosecute accordingly if the miscarriage was caused by the actions of the mother (strenuous activity, alcohol consumption, poor diet, etc.). (This actually happened for years in Nepal - hundreds of women who miscarried babies were jailed for murder.)

These are just some of the implications of declaring embryos "people." I think that the lack of support this bond issue in Colorado is getting proves that even many die-hard anti-choicers don't completely buy their own rhetoric. Now if only the rest of them would stop trying to shove it down our throats.

Let's face it, most women are addicted to abortions, and the only way to stop is through legislation. Most of my female friends go out every weekend, get drunk, and go home with some guy just so they can get their eggs fertilized so they can abort them. Women find the psychological aspects of having an abortion a rush, just like us Republicans find the death penalty the best drug since...well, no other! 80% of us Republicans favor the death penalty, so it shocks me that us Republicans also want to ban abortions. Why on Earth do we want to give away our god given right to kill? We talk about our soldiers killing innocent people so that we may have the right to kill some more. Let's not forget that our soldiers that are fighting for our rights to kill, and we shouldn't then ban abortions.
