What is it about pregnancy you find so objectionable?

I think a lot of women who abort may not be because they might be having other issues.

 

That does not make them bad parents.

 

Maybe, maybe not.

 

Some people are bad parents, some people aren't...whether or not they have an abortion has NOTHING to do with being a good or bad parent....or a good or a bad person....

 

Hey, I'm entitled to my own opinions about such things.

 

And I'm entitled to comment on them.....and they are very wrong.........

 

If you thought you would be a "good parent" to a child, why would you abort it? If you cannot provide for it or whatever, then no, you obviously would NOT be a very good parent.

Oh, so now you're going to be like the pro lifers and try to force your morality on other people? Nice.

 

I believe Martian women may have some advantage by having the option of laying an egg and using an incubator.

 

why do you give a flip? it's none of your biz what other people do with their own bodies. Why can't people get that thru their heads? Also, it's not just the pregnancy, it's the 25 years and 1/2 million $ debt that a lot of women object to. Adoption is a LONG ways from being guaranteed. In fact, it's guarranteed that MOST aborted fetuses, if taken full term, would NOT be adopted, so stop pretending that it's just about the pregnancy only. Why do you want to FORCE women to become mothers and FORCE the resulting kids to live unwanted by their mothers.? what's in it for you and if there's nothing, why care?

 

I didn't say it was illegal. Nor did I say anyone was evil, and as I've made quite clear in this thread, I am against the banning of abortions. That doesn't mean I have to like it or think it's a good thing or agree with those women who get abortions.

Are you aware of the number of abortions that are performed here in the US every year?

 

You did say these women would be bad parents....as if having an abortion makes the woman "bad".

I don't know why you "can't imagine " having an abortion after already having a child. Was that gateway to having a dozen more? No, women have all the same reasons for getting an abortion after having a child as they do before.....why would that change???





The number of abortions should equal the number of women who want one.


Were you thinking of rationing them ?????????

 

No I didn't. I said maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I think a lot of these women are probably suffering from other issues which, yes, would definitely affect their parenting abilities. I said I think it's a SHAME that there are so many abortions. I don't have to think that an abortion is a "good thing" like you seem to. I don't applaud when a woman gets an abortion. It's a sad reality is all it is.

 

You: "" I think a lot of these women are probably suffering from other issues""

Right there you denigrate women. A woman does not have to be suffering other issues to get an abortion...she may just not want to have a child..

Yes, it's shame women had pregnancy and childbirth issues dumped on them but that's life and they should be able to have full control of it.

I have my opinions, too. I find people who want to force women to give birth are despicable along with those who want to make health care harder for women to have such as restricting their right to have BC covered under their insurance... they are interfering unnecessarily in other's lives to make someone else's life harder, that's people with ISSUES..

 

I'm not denigrating anyone. I'm acknowledging facts. I'm not the one giving you (*)(*)(*)(*) for your opinions though, am I? No, that would be you. Now, I don't care what you think or what you like . . . I am going to express MY opinions on this topic. If you don't like them, feel free to ignore them.

 

This is a public forum. If you don't want your posts discussed( and can't address the content of responses) then you really shouldn't post.

 

I have addressed them. I certainly do NOT think abortion is something to be celebrated and probably should be discouraged if at all possible, and should also be a last resort measure. I'm telling you are free to disagree but that I don't like abortions, and your disagreement isn't going to change my mind about that. K?

Let me put it another way . . . I am quite aware that we have some pretty disgusting and rotten people out there. That is one reason why I am pro choice.

 

I read a few of your posts and it is clear that you do not like abortion. The fact of the matter is that pro-choice do not like it either.

Regardless of the (is the zygote a living human or not question) ... who in their right mind would rather go to a doctor and have an invasive medical procedure done rather than do something else (play golf, have sex, go out with friends and so on.

What do you mean by "abortion should be discouraged if at all possible" ? Why ? Do you think a young woman 14 should have a baby ? Why should she not be encouraged to have an abortion ?

Going through with the pregnancy could result in this woman never realizing her potential and also ruin the life of the fellow that impregnated her.

The crux of the issue however is simply that it is not your choice to make. This is the reason you should be pro-choice.

 

That is why I'm pro choice, as I've stated and you would know that if you did actually read my posts. However, adoption is a viable option too.

 

Nope, adoption isn't viable for every woman.
It takes 9 months out of her life, causes pain, discomfort , risk of death, financial loss, possible job loss, career and educational setbacks, permanent damage to her body...all to give the baby away.......

 

Adoption is a viable option that isn't talked about enough. Plenty of women actually DO go through unwanted pregnancies for the fact that they don't want to punish the unborn for their mistakes.

So, have you had an abortion?

 

Baloney, adoption is talked about all the time..( you just POSTED PLENTY of women DO go through unwanted pregnancies!!!!!!).that doesn't negate anything I said about why a woman doesn't want to take that option....

I thought you didn't like to get personal........my medical record, like yours, is private, and your question is off topic
