LOL! *claps*

And free publicity never really hurts.

What about the poor ‘choice’ you made when you conceived the child in the first place?

Teens having unprotected sex – ( and adults, for that matter ) – seem to forget that they have a ‘choice’ at that time too. They can protect themselves, or ‘choose’ not to have sex.

It seems as though those choices are overruled, irrelevant and foolish, and the only true ‘choice’ to be made is whether or not to destroy a developing human being.

As for Rusty’s comment: “They’re not after your business so they can afford to anger the anti-choice crowd.”

Why would a storage company wish to disenfranchise so many potential customers? Sure, they may do well, financially, but why alienate such a large consumer base? From a business standpoint, it doesn’t seem like that great of a decision.

I am sure there are tons of women who regret their abortions. Of course, there are tons who don’t. Whether you agree with Justice Kennedy or not, it is certainly not the Supreme Court’s job to play parents to women. It’s an attack on women’s decision making. Whether you’re for or against abortion, his opinion struck a blow against gender equality. It was both dangerous and stupid.

D&Xs and D&Cs are illegal if the fetus is viable outside of the womb. Viability is what differentiated fetuses and babies, so I’m ok with that (legally speaking).

As for “full information,” a lot of that information is hooey designed to either make a woman feel guilty or to spread outright lies connecting abortion and breast cancer. If a woman makes a poor decision (like how she got in this mess to begin with), that’s her problem. It’s not government’s role to prevent someone from exercising their civil liberties because they think it might be a mistake.

D&Xs and D&Cs are incredibly rare and are rarely used unless the life or health of the mother is in danger

Not true. Look at Tiller – I believe MM has some information on him here. He is the biggest provider of PBAs in Kansas (and, I believe, the nation) and he regularly BOASTS about it. The man is evil walking.

He’s done PBAs simply because the “mothers” were afraid of being unable to play sports or go to rock concerts. That’s not – the last time I checked – a “health issue”.

And if it is – what would be the difference if a baby was born versus being killed if the life of the mother was at stake? PBA essentially does that – so why does the child have to die? Why can’t that baby be put up for adoption? I’m sorry, but there is no logical reason for PBA. None whatsoever.

Do you have children, Rusty? The moment my son was born, I knew I’d do anything – ANYTHING – to prevent him from being hurt. I couldn’t imagine and cannot fathom what in our “progressive” culture makes it okay to do what PBA does to someone so innocent, so fragile, and so defenseless.

With regards to Justice Kennedy’s ruling. He’s absolutely correct. How many times have PP and NARAL freaked out about any legislation that would require mothers to have the FULL range of information – including ultrasound/sonogram pics before making such a big decision? Why is it condescening to give women time to think about this decision? Some people give more consideration to what kind of car they’re going to buy than if a woman fully knows and understands what happens during an abortion.

There are thousands upon thousands of women who had abortions and regretted it – some who felt forced, lied to, and hoodwinked. See Project Rachel for just a sample of what I’m referring to.

And you NEVER hear NARAL or PP address those issues. In fact, these women have been mocked. They never say anything about the women who suffer subsequent misscarriages, infertility, breast cancer, or death from abortions. Abortion is treated like a haircut – painless and worthy of only as little regret.

With regards to contraception – I don’t agree with it and I don’t use it. And you know what, I’m not perpetually pregnant and I do get to enjoy the benefits of married life. Without opening up a whole can of worms, why is there this presumption that women MUST be available for sex 24/7/365? Did you know that, on average, there are only 4-6 days a month (not including the “Visitor”) a woman is fertile? Is it so radical to think people can’t have enough self-control to abstain for a week?

The Pill is (I believe) more hazardous to a woman’s health than pregnancy. However, I would not attempt to make that illegal. And I guess there is a difference between the Pill causing a miscarriage and the willing act of going to a clinic and intentionally ending a pregnancy.

I respect and appreciate your tone in this debate, even if we don’t agree on the moral implications.

I have to ask – what about the father’s rights? What about the child’s rights?

Why is it WOMEN are the only ones who have rights when it comes to decided something that involves two other people (the father and the child)?

Choice? Conception is a natural process and if allowed to continue results in the birth of a human being. The only choice one makes is to interrupt that process by terminating the pregnancy. To terminate is to murder.

I think aborting a fetus because it may have Down’s Syndrome or autism is sick. It actually makes me angry.

WOW! I nevre thought we would agree on anything. I will admit, I was wrong. Good call!

And, no, you can’t bring my mom into this. She chose to have me. That’s the entire point of being pro-choice. Making the choice to have children! Hurray for me and my brothers.

Saying that we could have missed out on a cure for AIDS or the next big thing in music because of abortion is a silly, silly argument. By that logic, every sperm that ends up in a condom or on a towel or unused in a tube is waste of potential human life that could have saved humanity.

We’re at six billion now. It’s not like the world needs more people to figure out a cure for cancer.

(If you can use pro-death, I can use anti-choice. Fair’s fair.)

Sure Rusty, I you can call me anti-choice all you want. I’d rather be anti choice than PRO DEATH. Well too bad you don’t like your momma being brought into it. If you were conceived at an inconvienient time for her you would be in the “trash heap of history”. It’s not a pleasant thought I know but you pro-deathers never seem to think about what could those millions who have been aborted accomplished-perhaps a cure for aids, perhaps a cure for cancer, perhaps they could have been the next big thing in the music, sports, movie world but we will never know because a “choice” was made for them that they weren’t in on. Why do you think people have to go all over the world to adopt children-it’s because of “choice”. Yeah, again I would venture a guess you have no children.
I read this morning that geneticists are looking for an “autistic” gene. That’s just another excuse to abort those who aren’t perfect. I’ve had to deal with plenty in the pro-death crowd who tell me that knowingly having a child with Down syndrome was completely immoral and wrong. I laugh at them and turn away. Those of you who are pro-death really must be empty inside to think that this is an okay thing. Yes, I know women have been doing this infinitum but does that make it right, of course not. But at the same time, why are millions dead?

And Justice Kennedy’s reasoning boiled down to: “abortions can be traumatic so I want to make sure women don’t do anything they may regret.” I am sure that women who could end up permanently injured from a problematic fetus will thank him for the heads-up.

D&Xs and D&Cs are incredibly rare and are rarely used unless the life or health of the mother is in danger. If the abortion happens without the mother’s health in danger and the fetus can be viable outside of the womb, that abortion is already illegal (Planned Parenthood v. Casey). So I have problems calling fetuses “babies” when they can not survive on their own.

And life beginning at conception? That rules out birth control pills, Plan B, and IUDs. You say women have a choice to have protected sex, but you are severely limiting the means of protection. Condoms are not nearly as dependable as the three post-conception birth controls listed above. Abstinence is nice and all, but it hardly applies to married couples who either don’t want or can’t afford a child.

EnglishQueen, I swear to you I respect your view. What I think morally and what I think legally completely diverge once abortion is brought up. Morally, I think you’re right. Legally, women deserve the right to have complete control over their reproductive rights.
