Id support abortion if you could only reliably abort douchey elitist liberals.
Well shucks, looks like that's one less supporter of the pro-choice movement.

If it's a choice, males should have a choice just as do females.

Is there a point at which you personally believe the fetus becomes a baby?
If yes do you believe euthanasia for convenience is acceptable?
( Just your opinion there is no wrong answer)
WSS
Yes.
I told all this to T awhile back. There is a point where it obviously isn't a baby and there is a point where it obviously is wrong to have an abortion. I don't know the actual week mark, but you don't need one. No one needs 6 months to decide whether or not to keep a baby. I would think you could make that decision relatively quickly.

And I'm not saying I'm older than you so you know nothing. Just that you have no perspective on the lives of children. Trust me, please, that the idea of a child and having a child are two very different things. When you have one your perspective should be, and will be, much different.
I agree, it will.
A clump of cells is not a baby though
I agree, it will.
A clump of cells is not a baby though
No its not. In about six to nine weeks the fetus's heart starts beating. This, in my opinion, is where a clump of cells begins to be a child.

Forgive me if I don't agree with some college kid (vapor in this case, who is generally an alright guy that I have no animosity towards) that abortion is great, and that its an acceptable means to control population. Abortion is not great nor is it acceptable in my view. Knowing what I know now (and don't humans love to say that) abortion is the worst crime. Teach the kids sex ed, fine, give out "morning after pills" like candy, why not? Even offer the dumbest among us money to be sterilized. I'm fine with that. Don't kill the baby because you failed miserably to have any responsibility at all. Once that heart is beating its alive. Would you just gas the orphans waiting to be adopted so they're not a drain on society anymore? Because abortion is the same concept. You're killing a child so it doesn't disrupt your life of irresponsible casual sex. I'd rather see state sponsored sterilization to legalized abortions any day, all day.
I don't think abortion is great. And I don't think it is a good way to control the population. There are more reasons to have an abortion than just your own convenience though. But yeah, obviously never getting to that point is the best option

There are medical reasons to have an abortion. It becomes a medical procedure called a D&C. No doctor calls a D&C an abortion. An abortion is a terrible thing.

They shouldn't have as much of a say in it
Why??
Face it, most abortions are performed because the woman doesn't want the kid for any number of reasons, health being the least likely.
Men can be as unprepared to be a parent for the same reasons.
You don't believe in equal rights??

Yes, I believe in equal rights. This isn't that though. I believe in equal rights where they apply and there are actual discrepancies.
Its not your pregnancy and it is not your body. You aren't suffering through all the symptoms for 9 months and you aren't the one possibly risking your life (rarely) at the end. Sure, you provided some DNA, and because of that you should have a say. But not as much as the female.
I wouldn't expect a female to have as much say as the man in regards to the guy getting a vasectomy either.

And in a different twist to the same statement- and one that refutes your claim to "leaving the female alone" in the decision to have the child.... is one that allows men to "walk away " from their responsibility to be fathers and
leave it up to the women, Dont you think that is the option that alot of guys take? is what we see rampant in the country today? And the end result is more abortion??? Think about it Woody... If the man says he will stay and take up his
responsibility for getting the woman pregnant, dont you think it should be His decision right as well? just sayin...

This is all kinds of wrong. If you're going to abort a child it had better be a joint decision. The man has rights too. Did your father have any say in raising you or did your mother have the last word because she carried you?

Well you can have any opinion you want vapor. After all I'm the one that just washed and read books to a beautiful one year old child, and you're the smarmy douche who thinks printed information in some book is the end all and be all of life. I know what it took to bring a child into existence. I know when his life started, you have no idea about it.
Not. One. Idea.
Like I said, I don't hold it against you. I was a black and white smarmy liberal know it all douche once too. One day you'll put down the games, meet a real girl and maybe even have a family. Some responsibility. Then you'll have some idea, outside of a book or other piece of media that someone else thought of for you.
It's called growing up. You have a lot of it to do.
Nice fallout three meme.

Dude, I'm sorry for the troubles that you went through, I really am, but just because you went through those troubles doesn't mean that your situation applies to everyone else. I honestly think your loathe for those who had abortions for birth control was just because of your jealousy. Jealousy isn't a reason to change abortion policy.

I've been dating a girl for over a year now, and it's looking to be pretty serious. I don't know whether the problem with getting pregnant was you or your wife, and you might not have known either, but my girlfriend has a very irregular cycle. I have no idea what implications that has toward her fertility. Honestly, I'd like to have a kid with her, but if we couldn't, I don't think I'd loathe those who could. Adoption is always an option, and if things work out, we plan on adopting a kid or two, regardless of how many we end up having.

No its not better than the "option on the table" either. Birth control is awesome, you'll get no complaint from me. Everyone should be using birth control every single time unless you're actually trying to have a kid, but abortion is not right, and will never be right. It's legal convienence murder plain and simple.Doctors doctors who take an oath to do no harm, should know this more than anyone. It's hypocritical in the most extreme sense to take that oath and then kill the most defenseless and innocent, a living child cruelly and savagely ripped from the womb. I don't agree with hard-core Christian fundementalists on much but we agree on this: abortion "doctors" are sleazy fucking scumbags.
I'm sorry, I just disagree with you 100%. Unless you've been with someone who had an abortion, you have no idea what's going through their minds. Is it ending the potential of a human life? Absolutely. Is it murder? No. I, however, respect abortion doctors because they're doing a job that 1 - hardly anyone wants to do, 2 - they're risking their lives to do it, 3 - they're the only ones who are there to help a potential mother through that difficult decision. You could say all you like about abortion being murder, but I honestly believe this society would be worse off if abortion were illegal.

Sorry hooker, but the pregnancy belongs to the female regardless of what the male wants. If a woman doesn't want to go through with a pregnancy, she doesn't have to, and she shouldn't have to. If you really want to legislate what you say you believe, you're going up against not only every feminist in the country, but ANY woman who thinks her say should count as much as a man's. If there were a parallel you could draw when a woman would have control over a man, then maybe it'd be worth listening to, but the closest thing is when a dad has to pay child support for an unwanted kid. Either way, I don't feel bad for the dad.

We'll agree to disagree on abortion. I suppose that's amiable enough. As for your girlfriends cycles, there's always fertility treatment, its kind of hellish, but it can get results out of nothing.

I agree with this in a casual sense as in the case where some random moron knocks up some other one. In any case where the dad is more than a one night stand, I disagree heartily.

Just to be clear:
A. If abortion really were such an awful emotional experience, it would seem women would take the tiniest precautions to avoid it in the first place. Literally millions don't care.
B. It's an easy and highly profitable procedure.
C. Doctors risk their lives?
How many have been killed?
Now how many convenient store clerks have been killed because they chose to serve poor communities?
D. While we whine about "rights" keep in mind that there is no federal law that prohibits abortion in the last week for any reason.
The reasons can include choice of sex, hair color , convenience or just to piss off the spouse.

*************************************************
A. Part of society is solely involved in self centered existence. In that, caring for the ending of an unborn infant's life goes out the window a lot.
B. Some dr.'s make millions. It's a disgrace. Reminds me of the "Silence of the Lambs" movie. Abortion doctors should be imprisoned.
C. It isn't easy on the victims - the unborn child and the mother. All too often, a young woman makes that decision, and it causes serious emotional
problems for life. It's a tragedy most women don't think about until it's too late.
D. There should be. Responsibility has also gone out the window in a pretty sizeable subculture of liberalism in our country.

A: the abortion is only emotional for girls who want their baby or really have mixed feelings about it, in which case I would advise against it. Unfortunately I know two different girls that have had at least three abortions apiece. It's worth noting both those girls are attractive and from decent families, To me, that sort of behaviour is reprehensible and completely lazy and irresponsible. But its happening. And apparently neither thought twice of it. Birth control pills are your friend.
B: yes. Yes it is.
I've heard of attacks on abortionists but can't confirm
No you're correct there is no law against it at this time. There is, however, nothing granting it as a right. There is , as I recall, an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Does not an abortion infringe upon a tiny American's right to life? -

A. I've had a friend who had an abortion. It was a tough decision, but I don't think it had a traumatic effect on her. The most difficult part of it for her was hiding it from her family. My sample size is only one, so here's something more meaningful.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21486261
If you read the abstract, it says that when all relevant risk factors were considered, there was not a significant difference in the mental health between women who had abortions and women who didn't. It's only one paper, but if you search for abortion depression on that site, you'll see that most of the data shows that there isn't a correlation between abortion and mental illness. The reason that so many people say it's awful for the woman is because of entities who demonize abortion, like the Catholic Church, who willfully misinterpret scientific results. If you read the abstract, you can see how easy it would be to pick and choose.
B. Agreed.
C. Steve, I will concede that it's unlikely that if you are an abortion doctor, then you're unlikely to be killed by an extremist. That being said, the fear of being killed remains. It's actually much like a 7/11 cashier because while they know that they may be specifically targeted for a robbery, abortion doctors know that they may be specifically targeted for a murder, arson or harassment. The difference between them is that 7/11 cashiers don't have to fear these robbers harassing their families and homes.
D. Not sure what point you're trying to make here.
There is , as I recall, an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Does not an abortion infringe upon a tiny American's right to life?
The Declaration of Independence doesn't hold the force of law in this country.
-
As to C, sure I believe there have been attacks.
I just don't know how many abortions doctors have actually been killed.
Very few, two? One?
Hundreds of convenience store clerks.
Conversely hundreds of priests.
