I see this as the woman's decision. However, say some person comes in every other month using the service as a form of birth control. Then something will have to be done cause brother, that dog won't hunt.

If you enjoy the sex, enjoy the children you produced. Be responsible and take care of your business, don't kill an unborn child because you wanted pleasure only. There are ways to prevent pregnancy during sex and there is always abstinence, neither kills the unborn.

I used to think this exact way until someone put it to me like this... People who are pro choice are not evil, they do not believe it is a life so abortion is not murder, and people who are pro life are not fanatics, they believe it is a life so to them they are protecting a life which can not protect itself. It really is a matter of what you believe and there's no way to tell who's right, or settle the debate. So I would say your point is flawed because if someone is pro life and believes it is a life then that does not only extend to their own possible offspring because if they truly believe it is a life then it really is murder to them so of course they would be aga...

@Btmoody I'm sure you're comfortable with your position; however, I think you have made far too many assumptions in formulating this response. It is truly unfortunate when someone decides to terminate a pregnancy; however, I think the right of woman to have unquestioned right over their own body supersedes and other issue. Moving on, one thing that makes me personally furious over the right wing position on this is issue is this: those little right wing tea bagging fascists are fine with forcing a woman to have a child and then oppose all efforts of society to ensure that the child has a real chance for a full life.

@alexpinca you missed my point. I said your original response couldn't stand up to someone pro life because they believe the fetus is a life, seperate from that of the mothers, meaning she may have the choice to do with her body as she pleases but some people view the fetus as a separate and individual body. All im saying is who's right? We don't really know. I can atleast understand why pro lifers defend their position so tenneciously, because to them were killing innocent lives, of course they go nuts about it. You can at least understand that right? Their not bad people.

@Btmoody I did not miss your point, what part of "I think the right of woman to have unquestioned right AND CONTROL over their own body supersedes and other issue." REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS A SEPARATE LIFE OR NOT!!! I won't get philosophical about whether or not "they are bad people", they are however creating a lot of pain for others, and I repeat, I detest their Hypocrisy .

@Holliekat - You keep playing with words like there's a big semantic difference. How do you same "baby" in Latin? Answer: "FETUS"! You claim the baby will become a baby. If you have aborted one, you have murdered a baby.

As someone who was an unwanted child, I could detail for everyone many reasons no unwanted child should ever be born. I was subjected to a shocking amount of abuse, both physical and mental. I wish people could offered an alternative that guaranteed a loving home to each unwanted children (no, not an orphanage, a home where they are wanted), but pro-life folk put all their time, money, and energy into forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term, leaving the mother and unwanted child to whatever fate befall them, forcing the child to grow up in a living hell..

I would only allow abortions in the case of the mothers life being at risk. In most of those cases the baby would also die in childbirth as well. To let the mother die with the baby would be wrong when it could be prevented. However less than 5% of all abortions are due to the life of the mother. The unborn has a unique DNA code therefore it is obviously a separate life and a human life. All human life should be respected and given the chance to live.

Pro-choice does not mean anti-life. All reasonable people would agree that there should be as few abortions as possible, which can be achieved with better sex educaucation and access to contraceptives for all income levels. Pro-choice means you have a choice, so if your religious beliefs say that life begins at conception then no one should force you to have an abortion under any circumstances. However, not everyone has the same religious beliefs. I currently think the line should be drawn at survivability, by which I mean the point at which the fetus could be removed from the womb and survive on its own. Before that point a woman has the choice to abort. After that p...

They will talk about a ridiculous privacy statement in the constitution as if privacy somehow justifies killing another separate living growing human life. How about the privacy of that baby?
