I wont go to "lengths" to show "abortion
is ok." I will say its okay for a woman to
chose what she wants to do with her body.
And it is absolutley okay for her to chose
to have an abortion.

I also would like to know why noone cares
about the family? Abortion doesn't only
affect the woman and baby it affects
grandparents, fathers, aunts, uncles,
sibling.....
And i've heard pro-choice continually say
"well they can have a baby of their
own...Blah blah blah"
how do you tell a 5 year old that they
won't have their brother or sister cause
mommy decided to abort it?
What about the grieving fathers? It
happend to someone very close to me and
his life is upside down because of a
selfish *little girl* that thought she
would just abort without telling
him....Now he has nightmares and is
grieving for his lost child!! Should his
feeling not count?

their feelings are taken into
consideration yes, but it is also selfish
of them to expect someone to gestate and
raise a child when they are not the ones
who will deal the changes that pregnancy
has on the woman and they will not be
providing for the child. You may think
the women is thinking of herself by
aborting but so is the family by expecting
her to gestate and raise a child when they
don't have to deal with repercussions of
it.

can prove to me that these people are
telling the truth, your statistics mean
nothing to
me.
really? And how would
you "prove" this?
And, of course, that would have to go in
the other direction as well, right? Any
prolife claim is suspect to be a lie until
proven otherwise, right? Oh, but wait,
you blabber prolife lies all the time.
So I guess the scrutiny is only when it is
a position supportive of prochoice, then?
Guess what, gero, that is hypocritical.

nope. Until it is their

and yet, the woman should

How misogynistic. Guess that in your
world, women are still second-class
persons to be ruled and controlled by men.
Is that really such a predominant view
within the prolife community? Shame on
you all.

I can understand what you are saying bd
but people don't realize that it really
does affect other people and that effect
can be very negative to abort without
consideration for the father or other
members of the family. I am living with
someone who is torn apart by his ex's
abortion....I see his hurt and it hurts me
for him....That does not make me a woman
hater or whatever other insults steen
wants to throw.

Truthfully, it all really depends on the
situation. It's all circumstantial..
Either way... Someone has got to be
selfish but who will that person be? If
the pregnancy will kill the women then of
course.. The husband and/or father or
sperm donor.. Whatever should let her
have the abortion.. No question.. But I
think if the abortion will really hurt the
guys feelings and they are in a serious
relationship and an abortion can be
avoided easily then it would be really
nice to carry it for the guy but then who
will raise the kid? I said it would be
nice of her to do so but I am prochoice so
I believe it is primarily her choice of
course. Like I said.. It's all
circumstantial and every circumstance is
diffrent.

You know, it may affect the family, but
its not going to affect anyone like it
will the woman. And if I got pregnant,
and already had my daughter, a 3 month
old, I know my body couldn't handle going
through a pregnancy, and honestly what my
family thought wouldn't change my mind.
Although my family is very supportive in
anything I do, and I know would support me
if I were to get an abortion because their
accepting no matter what.

Men aren't all horrible dogs who run from
responsibility...They should get a little
more credit...Why is it that when the
child is given up for adoption they have a
say...And when the child is born they are
to provide care but when it comes to
abortion it's only the *womans* choice?
That hardly seems logical...
I agree bd--it really can depend on the
situation. If there are life threatening
complications the woman should do what she
feels is necessary without any outside
intervention. But when it's a normal
pregnancy and she doesn't want it..Why not
take into consideration the feelings of
the father? Instead of screaming *mine
mine mine* all the time?

I hate when people use that argument. I
know plenty of woman who told their
boyfriends they were pregnant, and their
boyfriends said they weren't ready for a
child, they wanted the woman to have an
abortion, but she didn't want to. So its
okay for her to choose then right?
Because she chose the path you would?
Riiight. I get it.
A woman should always tell the man shes
pregnant, but in the end its her, and her
body that will go through everything.
Therefor it is, and (caps) always will be
her choice.

Kourtney--the argument is logical and
that's why you don't like it.
*mine mine mine* is the only argument that
pro-choice can come up with but in all
reality...It's not *your* fetus....It's a
being all it's own with it's own genetic
code.....So it is seperate in that
fact.....And should it die because it's
*her* choice...No it shouldn't.

Actually, that fetus is mine. When that
baby comes out whose going to raisie it?
Itself.. Since its "its own person," is
it going to buy its own clothes, is it
going to go through the pain of the
pregnancy? It is my body, and if there is
something in it, that I dont want in
there, it (caps) will be removed. Isn't
that to bad? I don't understand why
pro-lifers are so set on changing
everyones minds, getting them to do the
"right" thing. If you're not getting
abortions then thats all that matters, you
don't need to try and convince people to
bring a child into this world that they
arn't ready for. What so it can be
abused, neglected and maybe killed (when
it actually knows its being killed) oh,
but thats okay? Its okay to bring a baby
into this world knowing its going to be
abused? (all caps) "well as long as the
woman doesn't abort." sorry, but i'd much
rather someone get an abortion, then have
their child and treat it like davie pelzer
mom did. But I guess thats me.
Mine, mine, mine isn't my only argument.
Its a fact, my body is mine, who elses
would it be? Its my choice to decide what
happens to it, and its every other womans
choice to decide and nothing you to or say
is going to change abortion, or the fact
that people get one, so I don't know why
you sit on a computer all day trying to
convince people you don't know, who you'll
never know.
Ps. No, the argument isn't logical in the
slightest. But nice try, really.

So I guess there shouldn't be a debate
forum because kourtney just can't
undestand why anyone would be on a
computer debating? Or where you just
refering to me...Are you a hypocrit for
stating that...Why, yes you are...There
you are questioning my opinions yet you
say that you don't....*oh look someone is
a hyprocrit* surprise surprise!
And the argument is logical it's just that
you can't understand it. No reason to be
mad though kourtney one day you will
understand.

I understand, the very petty, and childish
attempt at a debate, with the whole "call
it a baby not a fetus waaaaaaa
waaaaaa!!!!!" but like I said, its a
petty, and beyond pointless debate.
Believe me honey, I get it, im just not
petty enough to understand why someone
would pull this out of there ass and turn
it into a debate. Who the medical
question cares what words are used for
different things?
How many times in your post will you say
im a hypocrite? I think you just like the
word a little to much, and should look it
up in the dictionary instead of throw it
about the board.
You go ahead and have your opinions, but
why stress, and obsess over another womans
body and what she does with it? Why do
you care? Does it honestly affect you?
No, not in the least. So why do you sit
on the computer all day worrying about
other people. Don't you have a son to be
caring for? Why don't you go worry about
him, and what hes doing, he is your
responsability, no one else.
