Look, as far as the proposed amendment.....it is being promoted by a group called Personhood USA. I'm uncomfortable with an outside group going in to a state to promote their agenda. It would be different if this were an organic movement brought about by the citizens, but that isn't the case. I liken it to HSUS going into states with breeding legislation to promote their agenda. On the other hand, PP is not going away and the numbers are consistent with around 1 million abortions annually. Not a bad business to be in and why would they want to see it decline? It's a sick reflection on our society to abort (kill) over 1 million babies annually in this country. Do you really want to defend that? The woman's right to choose has been abused and promoted by greed. It's no different than any other business fighting to remain profitable. Given the choices, I'd like to see abortions outlawed with limited exceptions allowed. All methods of contraception have a lower failure rate than the number of abortions could ever justify. A little personal responsibility would go a long way, but PP has tried to take that out of the equation and abortion is apparently now seen (as evidenced by the data) as just another birth control method. The backlash is predictable.
Perfect. I'd love to have a reporter ask that question at a GOP debate: "Sir, isn't an embryo conceived in the United States an American citizen, protected by the Constitution from deportation? Sir, isn't that the case?" Their microcephalic heads would explode.
So did the pro-death movement just admit the baby in the womb is a person? Oops. See what happens when you try and play kindergarten games in politics? You end up compromising your own position on the subject....lol.
Personally, I'm sick of this thinking that babies are 'disposable' unless one is truly 'ready' to have a baby. Had we held to that line of thinking, we would never have had kids. When we had ours, we weren't 'ready'. We made too little money, had no clear career path...yada, yada, yada. My boys are grown now and having and raising them is easily the best thing I have ever done with my life. Look at the data and you will see that it's the 20-24 year old women having the greatest number of abortions. These are grown people that should know how to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. It just shows that kids are being put behind a whole laundry list of other priorities and that's sick. I honestly don't know what to make of people that think their personal desires justify killing babies.
Whenever you take Anti-Abortion or Birth Control opposition to it's logical conclusion it results in criminalizing some very private behavior. The resulting laws would also be near impossible to enforce.
No it is not and no where does it say so. So if you believe a woman is not free to control her fertility cycle then say so else you have no point here.
so when is she pregnant? beacuse if its when the sperm fertilized the egg then your earlier comments seem ludicrious
if an embryo is a person then every miscarriage needs to involve the coroner as well as a possible murder investigation
Geez didn't you ever learn anything about biology? "From a medical point of view, however, pregnancy does not occur at the moment of conception. It occurs, instead, when an embryo (a fertilized egg that has divided over the course of a few days) attaches itself to the woman's uterus, a stage known as implantation. It is at implantation that a woman's hormonal system begins to respond to her embryo, a response that initiates a cascade of dramatic physiological changes in her body. This means that if a sperm fertilizes an egg after a couple has intercourse, but the fertilized egg never implants inside the woman's uterus, then the woman - from a medical point of view - was never pregnant. Therefore, she can be described as having menstruated, rather than as having experienced a miscarriage or a spontaneous abortion." http://writ.news.findlaw.com/colb/20071015.html
so you dont agree with the Miss law....which defines a person as a fertilized egg. boy that was difficult to drag out of you lol
Pro-life propaganda sites are not "credible medical sources" Answer: "No, the 14th Amendment specifies that they have to be BORN here, not conceived here"
