    Depiction of partial birth abortion process, which many of you would like to keep legal.

    here we go again with the images. thanks for sharing.

    i think i will go plan a march to stop it now.....

    seriously barroom you aren't going to change anyone's mind on this forum, so stop it. abortion is legal and an annual march will do nothing to change it. but go ahead, knock yourself out.

    Roe v. Wade will be overturned in the next 20 years.

    Those pictures are pretty grotesque. I can't imagine supporting that "choice." Why do you support that?

    i didn't march to stop the war. our leaders don't listen to the protestors, or the public at large for that matter so i don't waste my time. from what i hear most of the time they are put in nice little "free speech zones" blocks away from where the politicians can see them, so that its pointless to protest.

    ok. here goes.

    i am pro choice. i am for a woman's Right to CHOOSE what happens to her body. end of story. that is it. that is not the same as PROABORTION!!!! if that woman's body is impregnated, then she has the right to have the child and keep it, give it up for adoption, or end the pregnancy early. in my opinion, no man, whether its a priest, boyfriend, doctor, president, father, one night stand, Jesus, or whomever should have any say or influence over that woman or her body. she should not be forced to have an unwanted baby. in the end all we really have in this world are our bodies. and if i were a woman and someone tried to tell me what i could and could not do with my only real posession i would fight them til the death to defend my rights as a human.

    i will say that i am no fan of the procedure and if i ever knocked up my g/f i would hope that she would not have an abortion. but i am a bigger believer in our constitutional guarantees. i am glad l live in a country where a woman has the right to choose and that it is constitutionally protected.

    there are things in this world that we are never going to agree upon. i am not forcing my faith or ideaology on anyone, but you are. i think the constitution exists to give people freedom and should not be ammended to take it away. that is why i am against a constitutional ban on gay marriage. the constitutions does not exist to deny rights, but to guarantee them.

    Constitutionally, Roe v. Wade is based on foolishness. Here is a liberal individual who believes that Roe was decided wrongly:

    "The prospect of some women traveling long distances to secure an abortion does not cheer me -- I'm pro-choice, I repeat -- but it would relieve us all from having to defend a Supreme Court decision whose reasoning has not held up. It seems more fiat than argument."
    -Richard Cohen
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/19/AR2005101901974.html

    Roe is not sensible law. It should be overturned. Cohen agrees because he cannot deny the idiocy of it.

    If you support the constitution, you cannot support the way that abortion was legalized in America. It was unconstitutionally legalized. The states should have been left to legalize it.

    if that ever happens then you might get your state to over turn it. it will never be overturned on the federal level.

    But fruit flies don't have human DNA.

    It's like this, I personally would never have an abortion, unless my life was at risk. I personally do not think actual "fetuses" should be aborted, I think there is a line between what is and isn't an acceptable stage of development. But I also think the legal age of consent should be around 16 without restriction as it is in many countries. Everyone has different opinions on it and that's why some things should be left up to individual choice.

    It disgusts me when i hear of women( if thats what you want to call them) having 2-3 abortions. I can see someone making a mistake in life and having 1 abortion but i really wish in general it would be illegal.

    Yea but in liberal america we give women a free pass...you dont have to tell your parents or tell the father ( thats if she knows who it is). Like everything their should be a process to it.

    I still think this is the wrong way to solve the problem of unwanted pregnancies.

    Every time a girl's father or mother objectifies the opposite sex it sets the model for sexual behavior. Sex is so embedded into our societies. It is the PRIME motivator for just about everyone. How can we expect a teenage girl to turn on showcase or whitness the top shelf of a magazine rack and not have sex irresponsibly? Irresponsible sex is the very substrate of western culture. Glamour, vanity and social status are all built on casual sex. Sex is the western way of life. Sex sells, etc.. etc.. It's irresponsible for anyone to place the sole responsibility on the teenage girl that has an unwanted pregnancy. Our culture and society is the basic factor in the development of our youth. Is it so difficult to see that? Is it so difficult to see that across cultures people are completely different, but within each culture very similar? Isn't that sufficient evidence to prove my point?

    Are there any women here on this thread? Or have they all been silenced yet again by some boys and their moralizing?
    NOPE!!!

    *~You're IT Bert!~*

    Hold on to the thread
    The currents will shift
  • Roe v. Wade will be overturned in the next 20 years.

    Those pictures are pretty grotesque. I can't imagine supporting that "choice." Why do you support that?

    I totally agree. The tide is definitely turning. With the technology we have now to see all the stages of human development it's getting harder and harder for abortion advocates to convince people it's not a human life. 35 years ago who knew exactly what was growing in there? Not so now.

    It's not even a religious cause anymore. I have agnostic friends who think abortion is evil based on scientific fact more than anything.

    The baby-boom generation that pushed the lies of "choice" soon won't be in control anymore and that will be a great day.
    So this life is sacrifice...

    Yes, hippiemom! As I suspected, smarter than the average bear! :)
    It has become apparent that this is not going to be a reasoned, rational debate. Just the same old boring diatribe. As if there isn't more than enough opportunity in the world for women to have to listen to the rabid pontificating of the righteous and indignant. No chance of learning anything new here. It's got witch hunt written all over it! Shame really. Be good to hear what real people with real opinions thought.
    NOPE!!!

    I'm pro-choice but when women start having abortions as birth control that's just sick (unless we're talking about special circumstances).

    no not silenced. there is no point in posting. they don't want an opinion. they just want to argue n call names.

    but my opinion? tho i'm pro-choice, i agree roe vs wade will eventually be overturned. not because some think it's morally wrong or evil...but because it's badly written. that doesn't mean a new one won't be written to take it's place tho.

    ( ok...flame away n tell me how ignorant i am now. thanks. enjoyed it. :))

    Do you think that if it is overturned there will be a ground swell of support for new legislation there? I just wonder. I mean I've been very heartened by the unity shown by many of our politicians here when it comes to women's fertility control but I wonder if push comes to shove if they will prevail. I guess the brow beating that's been going on here by Tony Abbott, Little Johnny and brethren has really made me nervous. And the current generation seems to take much of this stuff for granted. Not having a go at them, just they've always had the options available to them. I think back to the bad old days. I would hate to see a return to that. I mean in a perfect world no child would be born unwanted and no pregnancy would be unwanted. But we don't live in a perfect world. And I'm really sick and tired of everybody having an opinion about women's bodies. From abortion, to sex, to weight, to hair color, breast size, what to eat, how to bring up children, what to think, blah, blah blah! Far too much time is still spent telling women how to live in their skins. I don't think you'll be too vilified by your post now anyway. At least for a couple of days. Me thinks it's marching time! :D
    NOPE!!!

    Amen.

    Anyone who's ever seen an abortion performed would agree. Every officer in my campus's Students for Life club is a woman. They invite homosexual groups, minority groups, and others to discuss the evils of abortion. Abortion is simply not a religious issue at all. Anyone who respects life can be pro-life.

    Here is a homosexual pro-life organization:

    Roe v. Wade's terms are based on antiquated notions of the birth process. I too look forward to the day it is overturned and when the people will be able to decide whether abortion is right or wrong.

    People will never be able to decide whether abortion is right or wrong, there are shades of grey.

    I believe in some cases it's the most selfish, disgusting thing and in other cases it is, in my opinion, the only option.
