Abortion debate

[DoubleEdgeSword]

I am grateful a woman has the right to choose to have an abortion in the U.S.

I'm sorry but a group of random cells is not a human being. And if a woman is viciously attacked, raped and left to die, and she becomes pregnant from that attack, why would she want to carry a reminder of that for 9 freakin' months?

Men just do NOT get it.

[pinky]

Some women don't get that, either. It's like punishing the wrong person for the attack.

I'm decidedly anti-abortion rights, but I'd be willing to make that exception along with incest and serious medical issues, if that would mean we could eliminate the other 99% of abortions.

I too am against abortion as many of you have seen lately, but I think I agree with you on these issues. I definitely have to agree that if the mother's life is in danger then the baby's life might have to be lost unless it can possibly survive in the NICU.

As far as when a woman is raped...she can take the day after pill to prevent a pregnancy from occuring, so I don't feel an abortion should be an option for them either.

Now as far as incest...that is a different story because it involves young children and I don't believe children are ready for pregnancy as it puts them at high risk for complications, so again it has to do with a risk to the mother's life.

But any other type of abortion should be illegal at all times.

Huh? How did I begin an abortion debate? lol Wasn't there another post at the beginning of this thread, or am in the wrong forum? Whoever did this, quit confusing the old people. lol :tongue:

You responded to a JOEBIALEK post that I pulled aside because it may be spam (exactly the same thing appears on several different sites). So that pushed your post to the top.

Sorry about the confusion.

[DoubleEdgeSword]

Ohhh. Okay. lol Thanks, Richard. I was about to see my doctor for Aricept. ;)

Recognizing your problem is the first step, my friend......

I work in a pharmacy and the morning after pill doesn't always work so women shoud have the option to choose. I am a women and i am glad there are these options. It really isn't anyones business by mine what i choose to do.

That's great for YOU. YOU don't ever have to get an abortion. To take that away from other people is ludicrous.
