    In which case you would be changing the legislation roughly every 25 years

    What does this have to do with politics?

    The woman didn't want to abort her baby. She took a risk. end of story.

    one of the political arguments is that there is no time when abortion is needed to save the womans life.

    True, most conservatives believe if the mothers life is in danger, it would be ok to abort.

    I also believe I could see why this woman would want to take the risk. I know with my wife, if this was her, she would probably want to try to have the baby as well. Some women aren't so lucky as to get pregnant so easily when they want to become a mother.

    right, but many claim the mothers life is never in danger.

    and I think the issue a lot of people have is that she chose to get pregnant knowing it would have major health risks for her....but again, thats her choice.

    But not all women know that they will die if they have a baby before hand.

    So you're saying that the voters should have more say about whether a woman may have an abortion than the woman herself? So much for "choice."

    So she died over a year after giving birth.

    Kind of makes your own opinion on the matter off a little no?

    She gave birth to a healthy baby. Why is this a sad story?

    B/c she didin't kill the little turd and run along with your pro-death views?

    What the hell is sad about bringing a life into this world?

    Is it b/c self-sacrifice is so foreign to liberals today, that they simply can't grasp why someone is willing to give their life for someone they love?

    I mean, I am at a lose for words her.

    Where does the anger and anomosity for this woman come from here?

    You liberals just proved you guys aren't "pro-choice" here....lol.

    Im surprised Leftys arent Jumping for Joy....

    Its a self imposed death panel, and she single-handedly alleviated the social security problem and the Medicare problem.

    I guess their just mad cause Leftys didnt get the chance to kill her and her child themselves...

    First of all no I wouldn't prefer voters choosing because most of the U.S. population aren't very smart and can easily be manipulated by a big ad campaign(see prop 8 in CA). I'd much rather have intelligent people decide big issues like this using the constitution, funny how you righties always talk about the constitution until a case is decided that you don't agree with.

    Also what is the controversy in this thread? This woman was allowed to choose and she chose to have her baby knowing the consequences, but it was her choice which is the ultimate freedom. Do you guys really think it would be constitutionally sound for the government to force women to have a kid if it put their life in danger?

    The Woman's decision was wrong from a biblical and rational standpoint.

    First, its completely acceptable to have an abortion if your life is threatened, just like its perfectly acceptable to kill another human being if they have a gun to your head. Giving life is precious, but not when it brings about death to the mother and possibly the child. In this case, both the mother and child were threatened, but this block head still carried the pregnancy. Let's not mistake courage for stupidity.

    Second, the mother knew for sure she was going to die. She left the responsiblity of this child to relatives or the state. The cost will either be on those relatives or me. I don't want to pay more taxes to keep human beings alive. If were not going to do it with healthcare, the death penalty or homeless people, why should I have to do it with someone else's kid? An anti-abortion policy would force us towards socialism faster than any democratic policy.

    so if the voters decide to MANDATE abortion for single women or poor women you would be with that because the voters had a choice?

    I concluded it was a positive overall, since she removed herself from the gene pool, but she left a child behind?

    It is a sad thing when the loss of a life is celebrated not only for the cost saving on social security but used as a means to put down others.

    It does say something about the person who would post such a statement but what I will not say - I will leave that for everyone to draw their own conclusions

    Get Real.

    Leftys made it legal for federal funds to be used for abortions, and death panels.

    You might have a point, if I wasnt right.

    I like this thread.

    The cockroaches all coming out to demean and denigrate a woman's sacrifice for her baby.....while demanding supplication to their god of abortion.

    They love the abortion, and won't even let a mother's love for her child get in the way, without insulting it repeatedly like filthy hyenas.

    There no longer is even a bottom of the liberal barrel.

    The Govuhmints Social Security death benefit amounts to about $250. Don't spend it all in one place.

    Did you know that the month that you die regardless of the date, your SS benefits also expire? My father had the audacity to die at the end of March. My mom had to refund the excess payment.

    Gotta love a Ponzi scheme that makes every effort to ensure you cannot collect what you paid into the system eh?

    This is a sad but inspirational story about a mother's love for her child. If this is meant to be a pro-abortion thread, I think it demonstrates a good argument for pro-life. Like someone else stated, I thought you guys were pro-choice? In this case, she chose life for her child. God bless her.
