In the morning, you have the hangover, and the problems have not gone away.
I would have done but I'm not sure I could handle two babies dying. It's a good question and I guess you have to be there to understand. But I still stand by what I said about somebody just getting rid of a baby because they didn't have enough sense to use protection.
And yes, this should be regulated by law, and it's the law's buisness like it or not. What do you people want next, the legalization of murder ? That's a private matter, right ? If you want to murder someone, you should be able to without the law interfering, right ? Afterall, that's a personal choice and the law has no buisness interfering.
I am totally against abortion and I personally believe it is taking the chance of life from a defenseless being. The fetus may not yet have concious thought but it is life and should not be discarded as if it were some inanimate object and thrown in the trash like a piece of paper just because the mother doesn't have time for it or can't afford it or doesn't want saggy boobs. Whatever the justification or reason, it is killing a living thing.
Having said that, I would never force my opinion on someone else and I would oppose any law that takes away our right to be wrong. It is a very personal decision and one that I will never have to make. It would be wrong to tell you that you must live by my definition of life.
I would march in the streets to oppose any law that takes away our god given free will.
"Legalization of murder" What is preemptive war but legalized murder and who pays for it and who plans it -- the government, with my taxdollar!
So as you see I am opposed. I am also opposed to those people that blindly answer.
How many of you really know anything about birth defects other than the movie of the week stories about the one in millions that goes on to a quality life?
Send off your Christian soldiers to a bogus war with a cheer then spit upon those women who have to make a life altering decision.
There are several Bible passages that repeat the same words, and they may apply to many many of you; Oh ye hypocrites.
Tim,
What do you people want to outlaw next? My right to say no? After all it's not a man's fault if a woman arouses him, why shouldn't he be entitles to satisfy his urges and why shouldn't a woman be held legally responsible if she refuses him. I pose this not as a serious question or answer, it was just a to show how unreasonable the question and situation you proposed was.
It is not a womans fault that she get's raped.
With every pregnancy carried to term there is the risk of the death of the mother, there is the risk of never being able to bear another child, There is also a very real risk that if the mother is unable to raise that child, it will never be adopted, and it will be shuttled from foster home to foster home.
There are already more children in need of adoption than there are well meaning people willing to adopt them. The idea that a heppy and full life awaits every child that is born is a fiction. The decision to bring a child into this world comes with the responsibility to do that which is within our control to insure that child will have a full and happy life. Even when a parent or parent is prepared to make the sacrifices to do all they can assure a happy life for their child there are not guarantees, for the parent who isn't prepared........ I will not and cannot force a choice upon them.
When I was 22 I wanted to be sterilized, because i KNEW i didn't want a child. However, because the doctor thought I might change my mind later, I was denied the right to control my life, and was forced to take birth control for, now, 20 years.
And birth control is not 100% effective, only abstinence is.
Therefore, the "government" or those who vote in the laws of an abortion or the lack of medically supervised abortion, have imposed THEIR moral standards upon me. It is my body, my right, my life.........I am NOT a breeding machine. grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......This subject is very emotional, isn't it?
good post, Carol.... was not ranting at you by any means, as I'm sure you understand.
Do you think a mother should have the right to murder her child just because she doesn't want it or can't take care of it ?
Since when is the government paying for abortions?
It's nobodies business but the woman!!!!!!!!
~ However, this IS my body, my eggs, and my sperm, once it gets here ~ what I do with it is between me, my conscious and my future, as there is no one in the world who will take better care of me, than me.......
and at the moment, it is still within the law for a woman to have a legal and safe abortion. It would be a several-year backslide for women to go to the backrooms again and the abortions to still be performed. And should I become pregnant the day after the "law" changes, I would go to the backroom. I hope the government can live with that, or I guess if I were to become incapacitated the government could take care of me.
Thanks, Timothy, for speaking the truth. Unlike many women, I don't believe for a minute that my having a uterus gives me the right to kill another human being (even though the US government says it's okay).
Oh wait, we wanted a child.
It was the Doc that secretly decided a fetus without any hope of life would be carried until the day HE decided it would be born.
Why don't you two hold hands and saunter on down to the Jackass Club and dance the night away.
Or go to church early so you can sit beside each other in the Holier Than Thou pew.
I am not trying to suggest that I've never done anything wrong. (I certainly have.) I am simply saying that right and wrong do exist. Would you say I was "holier than thou" if I had said it was wrong for someone to steal a credit card to pay a cable bill?
There is no such thing as a free abortion. The government is not paying for abortion.
