So we should call you pro-abortion.

And, as a physician, I can attest that those are true pictures of abortuses. I have seen others, FYI.


That would be an incorrect assessment.
I personally think there are cases where an abortion is not an acceptable thing. But as a man I feel strongly the decision is between a woman, her doctor and, if she feels the need, whatever spiritual power she recognizes. I am not pro-abortion, I am pro-choice.

You are making the assumption that an unborn baby is not human. That is your fundamental problem. Would you sacrifice a 1 year old under the same argument?


I made no such assumption. It's a simple proposition: should government have control of our bodies to insure the right to life? That's what you are proposing--I simply want to know if you understand that...

If we were to find ourselves in a class together I would be willing to debate your points back and forth. But I have no interest in doing so here on OPP.


What you didn't absorb, PaulPisces, was Jesus' statement that what you do for the least of mine, you do for me. The least of all of ours are the fetuses in the womb. If you reject that statement then you reject the opinion of The American Academy of Pediatricians that life begins at fertilization and The American Medical Association whose policy is life begins at implantation.

I know you believe, like all progressives, you are better than conservatives but you might give those things a thought. Your mind could use the exercise.

So you're telling me it's justice for the government to control the bodies of it's citizens?

Here's a simple question: suppose I am dying, need a kidney, and you are a perfect match. Does the government have a right to force you to give me a kidney or should you only give me one if it is your choice?

The point is: who has a right to control your body in times of life or death--your or the government? Right now you are saying the government does because a cute little fetuses life depends on it. I'm asking you--what is justice???

The point is that with the availability of free contraception there is no excuse for an unwanted pregnancy except for rape, and murder is not an acceptable option to avoid responsibility.

If you need to look at cost and level of risk to the.mother, abortion is obviously unacceptable compared to birth control through contraceptives.

Some other pro-choicer brought up SCOTUS, not I. And I am thoroughly familiar with The Constitution that progressives have striven greatly to destroy. It is MOST emphatically NOT CLEAR that SCOTUS has a roight to determine constitutionality. If yo had a modicum of familiarity with history, you'd know that that power was appropriated but First Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay as the result of a contentious encounter with George Washington to whcih Washington Acceded.

Please cite which words confer that power.

Well if SCOTUS can't determine what is constitutional who can and what's the courts purpose in all this?

That's your opinion. It doesn't change the fact that women have the right to control their bodies just as you have a right to control yours. So long as her choice lies within the legal parameters it's her choice to make, acceptable to you or not, and her's alone.

And just how do you intend to force women to have children they don't want? Are you going to do it or will this be a new branch of government?

Except that free contraception is not available in many cases, especially since Republicans started messing with healthcare.

Of course you don't want to debate. You know you don't have a leg to stand on.,

So then what's YOUR interpretation of it. Inquiring minds like mine want to know.

Why don't we call a spade a spade Pete and call it legalized murder.

Sure Pete, they want to f**k but they don't want to accept the consequences of their actions of bringing a new life into the world.
