Woman dies after refusing life-saving abortion

I agree with that...I dont think many are putting her down...

and it doesnt count if its not to her face anyway lol

 

you jsut said the point was that she should have aborted, when the point may be that she shouldnt have gotten prego...

how on earth does that make your point?

 

Maybe, but I feel this woman deserves our respect if for no other reason then "not speaking ill of the dead".

 

at least she did not die with the murder of a innocent child on her conscious

 

Bull. "Not agreeing" means (at least the way I intended it to mean) that I would not have made the same decision. I also said that it was her decision to make. I respect that decision, even though I still don't agree with it (again, because it isn't the one I'd make for myself). You're trying to pick a fight where there is none. Are you so hell bent on bashing liberals that you'll conjure up a demon to slay when there is none?

 

1. Adults make up their own minds; it's the law.

2. Medical reality is a Cast Iron B!tch, not to be trifled with; it's the other law.

No whining.

 

Republicans want to outlaw letting people make up their own mind on abortion.

 

Your words:

"This woman was told she would die if she didn't abort, and she refused. Now her family will have the very difficult task of raising a child without her, and the child will never know his mother. She should have aborted and adopted instead."


Looks like you're the only one here trying to interfere with anyone's CHOICE, because she CHOSE NOT TO ABORT HER CHILD.

If you're so "all about choice", why not put the issue before the voters of the states, and let the citizens truly "CHOOSE" what they want for their state?

What does this have to do with my opinions on abortion?

If you want my opinion just say so; I prefer to err on the side of life rather than abortion on order. I also believe that this is a States right issue and that our Supreme Court violated its constitutional duty by inferring a right that was not in the Constitution.

This is not a decision by just ONE person; this is a decision that involves TWO people and their families. If a 16 year old gets pregnant, my opinion is that we should council them on give birth to the unwanted child and place it up for adoption rather than counsel on aborting a living fetus.

If you get impregnated from a rape; then perhaps it makes good sense to abort; but the use of abortion as a form of birth control should rightly be considered and abomination.

 

I wasn't referring to your comments or responding to YOU; I was referring to the thread's author:

Carry on; next time try to comprehend before you wander off the reservation.

 

why do you think everyone wants the government to restrict bad choices? just because you want the govt standing over your doctors shoulder, doesnt mean everyone does....even when we dont like the decision.

 

I actually agree with you. It was indeed her decision to make, and I won't bash her for not making the same decision I probably would have made under the same circumstances.

 

The only one who gets to "vote" on this is the individual woman. A citizen can truly "CHOOSE for himself or herself, but cannot choose for another. There is no logical reason why everyone in one particular state has to have the same standards. And there is no logical reason for one citizen of the state to interfere with another citizen's decisions.

 

No, he blamed / insulted her for forcing a child to live without having a mother.

When the only "better" alternative was to kill the child.

Only a covy of liberals could cobble together such a disgusting equivocation, then all play word games for 57 posts to pretend that they had waxed lovingly.

Do any of you realize that not long ago, it was normal to praise and honor a woman for giving her life for her child ?

Today, the typical liberal bastard chooses to insult her for it. Because she had the nerve to turn down their cherished abortion.

 

wow, you deserve a trophy for the one liberal post of 2010 wherein the liberal author chose decency and fairness......rather than stubborn liberal dogma.

 

Well, it was her choice. Plus, she chose to end her life knowing that her baby will live...it was an ultimate sacrifice, but one of love.

 

he will not accept sacrifice and love if it hurts the baby-killing industry.

 

It's called prochoice for a reason. Shame on you for thinking you can make the choice better than the mother.

What happened to this family was a tragedy. The mother chose to save her child rather than herself. This woman deserves a mother of the year award. Not a critique from someone on the internet who doesn't even know her.

Clearly you do not understand what a "Woman's right to choose" means.

 

wow, we must be in some sort of a planetary alignment.

2 liberals slamming the abortion lover.

Though I have heard of the mythical Catholic/Christian liberal that doesn't dig the abortion.

 

Pro-choice with the left such as CarlB only applies when the choice made is to abort.

Just like freedom of speech with the left. Only so long as its their speech.

 

Isn't that funny....I'm glad we didn't limit the discussion/vote on rights & slavery just to slaveowners. I mean after all, why let a bunch of other people meddle in their "thing" ?

America's worst cultural sins -

1.a. - Murdering babies

1.b. - Slavery

1.c. - Decimating the American Indian

 

A. Abortion is not "murdering babies", and B. abortion is beyond the power of government to control.

 

WE are the government...forget that? Therefore, instead of having such a weighty issue forced by judicial fiat, via a politically-appointed judge, it should be decided by the VOTERS (aka""citizens"), of each state,as they see fit.

That is , if you prefer ACTUAL "CHOICE" to JUDICIAL MANDATE, as I do.

 

I disagree... and I hold a pro roe vs wade stance. To assume we're aware of what women go through (in order to say outright that they should've had ____) would be going against the core argument of the pro-choice stance, which would be the fact that only the carrying mother knows her situation well enough to decide the best outcome. You're acting as if this child will hold some form of resentment for her decision, when there's plenty of room to suggest the child (once aware) will look upon her decision with honor and selflessness. The thought of my mother giving her own life so that I could live is quite an act I wouldn't look sorely on.

 

This is because we are pro-choice but not neccessarily pro-abortion

There is a difference
