+1 I've never had an abortion. I'm relatively sure I would never have an abortion (though I can't be 100% positive), but I'm damn sure not going to tell another woman what to do with her body. I'm pro-choice and pro-healthy medical options for all humans, not pro-abortion. |
Which gun rights have been chipped away? What kind of waiting period did you have before buying your gun, after having an initial consultation? How many miles did you have to drive there? How many handicap parking spaces were there! Was there some sort of timelline that, after a certain point, you had to go to a different gun shop? What kind of gauntlet of "sidewalk counseling" did you face? Did the legislature force your gun seller to tell you a list of lies about guns? Analogy fail. |
How is a painful death a healthy option for a child? |
+10000 to bolded comments above. I am pro-contraceptive/abstinence. And to answer your question: it saves the child (and parents) a lifetime of being unwanted/unloved. Plenty of messed up people already in the world. |
Plenty of infertile couples having to go across the globe to find a baby to adopt. |
So the kids still feels unwanted/abandoned? Why do the infertiles get the burden of unwanted kids? Probably no prenatal care, maybe drugs, perhaps not the best genetic material, etc. How many kids have you adopted? |
See, there you go again, putting the rights of a non-viable fetus ahead of the rights of the mother. |
Oh great. Outlawing abortion will make adoption cheaper and more convenient for adoptive parents to obtain babies. That's a great argument, keep going with that one. |
Doing that unwanted child a favor. |
Plenty of brown babies here in America looking for loving adoptive parents. |
Who are you to predict a person's life? Perhaps you regret being born? |
True. Adoption is an option. |
Adoption is also an option when abortion is legal. No one is saying *everyone with an unwanted pregnancy must have an abortion!* Seriously, not one pro-choice person has ever suggested that. |
Yet there are so very many kids that end up in foster care and with a horrible upbringing because there aren't enough people who say "adoption is an option" who are actually willing to put their money where their mouths are. |
I think people forget what an ordeal childbirth actually is. 150 years ago, one of the leading causes of death for women was dying in childbirth. |
