    unbelievable that birthing centers aren't required to have hospital admitting privileges. Off the top of my head I know a lot of people that have had potentially serious health issues regarding the pregnancy. Giving birth is far more dangerous for a woman than an abortion unless it's a very late term abortion

    Well, women have been giving birth since the beginning.

    And until relatively recently had a good chance of dying in the process.

  • but that was ok, they're just baby chattle anyway.

    Then god's a bit of a douche. Now it's in our own hands.

    So when folk have heart attacks, negatory on the hospital trip? I mean it's gods hands and all, we shouldn't be fucking with the will of god and whatnot. If he's calling a nucca home he's callin a nucca home.

    Why do you think it costs so much? Going against god's will isn't something to be done lightly.

    You must be trying to play the victim... Typical

  • I think there is a whole lot of evidence to make the claim that Obama is the most pro abortion president we have ever had. I don't want to get into dueling google searches but just a quick google search on Obama being the most pro abortion president brings up huge amounts of articles to support that claim.

    And at one point we had the most "pro equal treatment of black people" president too. I'd expect a modern president to be the most pro choice because that is the majority.

    (the term is pro choice btw. No one is hoping women have more abortions. You support their right to make their own decisions.)

    Yep. People are becoming more pro-choice in general, so it figures that the president also would be part of that trend.

    pointing out inconsistency and hypocrisy is not outrage.

    this right here. But conservatives cannot for the life of them wrap their heads around that concept. Supporting a womans right to do with her body as she chooses is not the same as seeing a pregnant woman walking down the street and yelling at her to get that shit taken care of bitch.

    If that's the case, his hands are about as steady as Michael J. Fox's:

    http://www.hopexchange.com/Statistics.htm

    • Average number of confirmed annual pregnancies in the U.S: 4,400,000
      • 900,000 to 1 million of those end in pregnancy losses annually
        • More than 500,000 pregnancies each year end in miscarriage (occurring during the first 20 weeks).
        • Approximately 26,000 end in stillbirth (considered stillbirth after 20 weeks)
        • Approximately 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage; some estimates are as high as 1 in 3. If you include loss that occurs before a positive pregnancy test, some estimate that 40% of all conceptions result in loss.
      • Average number of abortions annually in U.S. (2012): 699,202 abortions http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6410a1.htm?s_cid=ss6410a1_w
        • 699,202/4,400,00 = 16% of all estimated pregnancies are terminated by artificial means.

    Humans = 16% of ended pregnancies

    "God" = 25-40% of ended pregnancies

    So, I guess we can put the whole "religious ethics" - angle of abortion protesting in the rubbish bin. Jesus loves the little children, indeed.

  • So you don't have to be religious to be opposed to abortion.

    Unless, of course, morality is religion based.

    WSS

  • It's all part of god's plan.

    1. create earth by weekend

    2. chill out on sunday

    3. plant fake dinosaur skeletons to catch people out

    4. unexpected pregnancies

    5. oops! I'd better take care of that

    6. skiing and sauna with odin and the gang

  • So you don't have to be religious to be opposed to abortion.

    Unless, of course, morality is religion based.

    This is true, I can perfectly understand Cysko's opposition to abortion. Though, in that case I believe we just have a different 'tolerance' of the term before abortion.

  • I agree that you don't have to be religious to oppose abortion, Cysko is a prime example of that. I just think that the religious aspect of some people's anti-abortion stance is nonsense. That's all.

  • Why stop at aborting unwanted babies? Let's just kill any unwanted child. You wanted your kid to have blue eyes but your kid has brown? Kill it! It cries too much? Just smother it then. He starts acting up in kindergarten and you don't want to deal with it? Poison him!

    Why stop there? Let's kill anyone who causes us an inconvenience. McDonald's get your order wrong? Kill the cashier. Postman delivers the wrong mail? Kill him too.

    Must be liberal. Only liberals get so emotional about these things.
