This is a sign of a true free society. Whereas a woman who has absolute dominion over HER body chooses what is right for her. Millions of woman per year can comfortable get on with their lives knowing they stopped a mistake. Nothing spells freedom more than giving one true dominion over their own bodies.
I disagree. Cultural perception will have to change first, but we're already beginning to see signs of that as evident here.... http://www.politicalforum.com/abortion/202312-pro-life-gaining-ground-rapid-pace-worldwide.html I'm optimistic that the world will continue to wake up more and more from the PC slumber they've been lulled into over the last 50 or so years and realize what they are doing. And when this happens, a change in laws will follow. There were people who thought slavery would be permanent as well. But when human life and freedom are on the line, the selfish can only suppress the truth for so long.
Really? So the government owns her body on the 27th week?..or since they involved themselves into the abortion issues, they determined she can kill the baby up to 26 weeks. Her body huh. Interesting perspective.
It appears that once again most Americans support the legality of abortion. And once again, changing the law will not change the action. http://thinkprogress.org/health/2011/09/16/321396/pro-choice-despite-gop-push-to-ban-abortion/ Poll: Majority Of Americans Are Pro-Choice, Despite GOP Push To Ban Abortion | A new CNN poll finds that an overwhelming majority of Americans still believe in a womans right to choose, with 78 percent of respondents saying that they want abortion to remain legal under any circumstances or under certain circumstances. Just 21 percent said they would support outlawing abortion under all circumstances. The numbers are almost unchanged from a year ago despite the concerted efforts of conservatives to severely restrict access to abortion on the state level. Seventy-seven percent of Americans identified themselves as pro-choice in in 2009 and support has remained consistent over the last five years. http://www.gallup.com/poll/147734/Americans-Split-Along-Pro-Choice-Pro-Life-Lines.aspx Americans are closely divided between those calling themselves "pro-choice" and those who are "pro-life," now 49% and 45%, respectively, in Gallup's 2011 update on U.S. abortion attitudes. This is similar to a year ago, when 45% were "pro-choice" and 47% "pro-life." However, it is the first time since 2008 that the "pro-choice" position has had the numerical advantage on this Gallup trend
You know what's interesting? The fact that you would find the concept of a a woman's ownership of her own body interesting. What on earth can you be thinking?
I am sure every killer on death row would want his act excused for the same reason, doesn't mean I have to buy into that load of crap.
She took a known risk and ended up with consequences she knew were associated with that risk. Why does that entitle her to kill at will?
LOL, so IOW, she should be punished for the choice she made, i.e. the choice to have sex. A woman choosing abortion is not "killing at will", she is only killing that which is inside her own body. What or who is entitled to live inside a person off that person's bodily resources?
Same old tired debunked BS. She is not being punished any more than a woman who is dissallowed to kill her (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) husband is.
The OP thanks God for abortion, being thankful that women can simply erase what they did by killing their unborn child. I thank God that there are women who value human life enough to not have an abortion. Then I pray to God that more women will learn to value human life instead of their own, selfish feelings.
This post explains a lot. The poster feels pregnancy and/or giving birth are equivalent to being consigned to hell. My only question is, how in the world did she ever become a grandmother since she considers both pregnancy and childbirth to be equivalent to being in hell.
I am not the only woman to believe pregnancy/childbirth to be hell. I became a mother and a grandmother by enduring hell. More than once.
Wow...at least you are honest about how you feel. IF pregnancy/childbirth is so distasteful to you, wouldn't you be better off sterilized? No 'HELL' of pregnancy or childbirth...and you wouldn't subject your child to the true hell of a painful death via dismemberment.
I agree with you. Not only because of the unborn babies who deserve to live, but because of the deluded women who subject themselves to physical, emotional & mental harm from the violence committed in their own bodies against their own children. Kill the child - wound the mother.
