And you're right about how the Supreme Court could change things, and the Left will have to finally look in the mirror at some point for the role they have played in our current political situation. Hopefully. Maybe. Maybe not.
Yes, the left are a bunch of MEANYHEADS sticking up for women, gays, minorities, Muslims, etc.
Don't you know that the white christian male is the most oppressed thing out there, the poor things, who are having to put up with so much oppression because we don't pander to their every impulse.
Even though they haven't won an honest election since 1988 and they've had to scare people or cheat to win.
I'm pro choice, I admit that a fetus is innocent human life, and my argument is that a civilization has to make certain very difficult decisions as it develops, and this is one of them. I'd rather see safe abortion available than unsafe abortion. And I'd guess that, in the future, we'll have the medical technology available that will largely make this issue a moot point. But for now, we're stuck with this ugly (on multiple levels) process of abortion.
dude, that's a cop-out. If you really think Fetuses are people, then you should be up with Poodle and ChuzLIfe and calling for locking those sluts up, Dammit!!!
And, no, we have the "technology" now. Technology isn't the problem. The problem is that as long as you need women to make babies, you have to also live with their bad choices.
I knew a gal in college. Well-educated, brought up in a religious household (Very Catholic), with very strict Asian parents. And when her boyfriend didn't make good on her promises to marry her, she 'forgot" to take her birth control pills and got pregnant to force the issue. His response was to end their engagement, and she got an abortion. You see, she didn't want her parents to know she wasn't still a virgin at 22.
(Again, this was in the early 90's, when I was still a right-winger)
Well, funny thing happened. You think this smart, religiously inclined gal would have learned her lesson. Nope. A year later, she got back with the same guy, who was still a jerk, and got pregnant again, and had ANOTHER abortion.
There are many on the Pro Choice side whose knee-jerk reaction on many issues is to lie. So, on the topic of abortion, they try to make a fetus into some kind of inanimate object, akin to your average toaster oven, so that they can more easily justify snuffing out its life.
well, no, the problem with this is that most abortions are performed in the 8-12 week period, where the fetus is the size of a kidney bean, isn't viable, has no higher brain functions.
And I'll point out again. Even when abortion was illegal, nobody was ever charged with murder for having one or performing one. (If abortionists were arrested at all before 1973, it was usually because they messed up an injured or killed the woman.)
