    I am open about being pro life. I don’t belong to any religion or anything god related. 

    My view comes from the idea of when when I think “life” is created. For me, it isn’t at birth. We have humans that are brain dead that we are legally obligated to keep alive. An 8 month old fetus has more brain power than some sick people. 

    Then em I looked at how pre-mature Can a baby survive outside of its life line (the mother) and I came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter. 

    My my grandma who is 93 is often supported by machines to keep life in her, and we value her life no less than anyone else. 

    So so then I kept asking myself, what makes a baby unique. The only thing that makes a person a person is unique genetic make up. This happens at conception when sperm meets an egg. 

    I belibe once unique life life is formed, the life deserves legal protection. 

    I dont stand outside abortion clinics with signs. I don’t slander people who get abortions, or anything alike. There are many young people who make a mistake and get pregnant. 

    I think we all need to do better about making sex less taboo so kids are comfortable talking about safe practices and preventing pregnancy. It’s super easy. There are so many forms of pre pregnancy control out there. 

    All just my opinion through years of learning about the issue.
    Well thought out comment.. thanks😊

    Very fitting picture with the Tweet. Unbelievable!! 

    In recent times, there seems to be something in the news everyday that makes me very happy I live outside of the USA. That is sad, as I have visited and thoroughly enjoyed my time there and also have many friends living there.
    And for some of us "coastal elites" who do live in the USA, it makes me very happy I live outside of deplorable middle America or the dirty south. In my state we have laws respecting self-determination (legalized weed, right to death with dignity, right to reproductive choices, right to enter into legal, consensual relationships regardless of gender). Not so much in some parts of the country where some mythology tome informs their morality and laws.

    I’m pro choice.  What I’m not qualified to determine so I will ask the experts - when does life begin?  Heartbeat seems to make sense to me, but I understand choice.  When is a life a life that deserves the right to their own choice?  I’m not leading anywhere. I actually believe the mother has more rights than anyone.  But at what point do we protect those that have no voice?  Never is fine if that’s what we think. Just trying to understand the discussion. 
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Here's the thing:

    People that support a woman's right to an abortion aren't salivating for the procedures. They have the opinion that some pregnancies are worth terminating given the circumstances around them... and that it has to be left to the woman to decide based on her perspective because she's the expert on 'her' situation.

    I grimace at the idea of gasping fetuses on a surgical table too and this is why I would encourage early decision making- get it done while it is still 'goop'.

    The 'middle way' (in my mind) is a timeline of some sort (arbitrarily... maybe 16 weeks... before voluntary movement occurs?). I think the 'middle way' would also account for special medical circumstances that allow for a later termination if the mother is threatened or the fetus has issues.

    Having said my preferences... I'm okay with a woman's choice no matter what and support them.
    fixed
    I'll never understand the need for those that support "the right to choose" to run away from actually saying they support abortion. 

    Latest stats in US - 2014 - over 650,000 abortions.  That is not supporting the right to choose, it's supporting abortion.  650,000 of them.  That is AT least 650,000 people that support abortion....not just the right to choose.  Just own it.
    I don't support abortion. I would never want a mother of my child to do it. it is not my business, however, to tell other women how they treat their own bodies and affect their own personal situation. that is not supporting abortion. that is supporting a free society.

    even the experts don't agree on this. it is completely a matter of opinion.

    “Compassionate conservativism” at its most righteous. Because that’s what’s really important for society. Maybe we should mail our aborted fetuses to the Supreme Court so they can pray over them?

    Ok so just so I’m clear:

    1) it’s ok to mock teenagers for their appearance, etc if they are anti-abortion

    2) it’s not ok to mock teenagers for their appearance, etc if they are anti-gun

    I am in complete agreement with you here and this is one of the reasons why people on the right are constantly at with their "hypocrisy of the left". because, as showcased here, it is absolutely true.

    Look up a few posts.

    “These guys don't strike me as the kind of guys that have a pony in this race. The abortion issue is not relevant in the masturbation world.”

    Just one instance. Happens a lot. If you disagree with someone politically you make fun of them (general you). I’m sure I’ve done it in the past. But it’s really not cool.
