Abortion isn't murder. Get your facts right.
Correct! It IS however...HOMICIDE! The question our lawmakers HAVE to address is, just exactly WHEN is it a wrongful death homicide!
Partial birth abortions are banned in the US...
...although I would have exceptions in the case of the baby being severely deformed, not likely to life a decent life etc.
Uh...NO it is NOT!
And I'd like to see you walk into a bar down in Australia and tell the descendants of England's unwanted and exiles that YOU would have aborted them!
Have you asked these fetuses if they feel pain, or do you just assume they do?
Ok, do you ever dream? And WHEN you dream, is it of flying or the days events or some boogy man? Cause here is the thing. At about 20 weeks fetus DREAM!!!
That's right, complete with REM sleep, involuntary muscle movements...the whole nine yards. Google it or
CLICK HERE!
Now we can't ask them just exactly WHAT they dream, but we can damn well guess that since we ALL dream about things that are both within and outside of our personal experience...that the fetus...BABY is too!
They are dreaming about the heartburn they have from the chili momma ate or the bang they felt when a car backfired and scared her or some racial memory of flying, falling, drowning or being chased by wolves...JUST LIKE YOU!
Death row inmates feel pain when they are injected. I am opposed to the death penalty for numerous reasons, and this is one of them.
Kill the innocent, save the maniacal murderers...
Except when they aren't guilty.
Except that fetus are ALWAYS not guilty!!!!!!!
You are WRONG...COMPLETELY wrong!
I remember when Congress passed legislation banning partial-birth abortion only to have Clinton veto it.
While I'm here, rather than starting another abortion circle-jerk thread, I have a question for ya'll:
What, exactly, WOULD it take to overturn Roe v Wade?
I mean, we all know that the all powerful SCOTUS doesn't have an appeals process.
So, now what?
Start a whole new case?
We just witnessed how unpredictable the SCOTUS is....between the ACA and Citizens United cases.
What guarantee do we have of a "favorable" ruling?
Actually Sir, that's one reason it's so important that we kick that MARXIST out of the White House before he gets to name 2 more justices. The next justices MUST be strict constructionist if this country is going to survive as a free republic.
And YES...it can be done. Probably NOT by overturning Roe v Wade though. Although that IS one way it could happen. There IS a legal challenge to it which has been avoided by libs so far. Just going to take the right circumstances...AND judges.
My first reply to Nooimitic above is the easiest and most permanent way to do it. And since over 70% of Americans say they do NOT believe in abortion, Congress CAN be pressured into doing it to keep their jobs.
Thing is, when Congress uses SCIENCE to define when life begins...it becomes a matter of justifiable homicide or murder, which can be defined by statutes!
Fortunately Noomitic lives in Australia. The VAST MAJORITY of Americans do NOT share that lunatic fringe view. We CAN eventually put an end to the practice of delivering viable babies and murdering them. Just going to take the will of the nation.
Right now...although this is great forum and stump speech fodder, it's the economy stupid, to quote over used cliche. LOL
