[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a practicing Catholic; I oppose abortion in most cases and I will not apologize for this.[/quote]

I'm not and I don't.  But you should never have to apologize for making political decisions consistent with your morals and understanding of the world. You have a spine, that's a good thing.  [/quote]

You are free to practice your religion all you want. But you can’t FORCE it on others.

When you abort a child you are imposing quite a bit.  Just saying.[/quote]

I’m not forcing anyone to get an abortion. Having a choice for one’s own body is not imposing on anyone else.

And what of the child’s body?   Really it all hinges on what we understand the child (fetus) to be.[/quote]

Well clearly "we" disagree on the definition of a child.  Just as an acorn is not the same thing as a tree, I don't believe a fetus is the same as a child.

A person in this world should not be forced to go through a potentially deadly or bodily maiming process against their will. That is what it comes down to for me. Anti-women's-lives-folk never, ever acknowledge the physical reality/toll of gestating and birthing a child. It is not some easy breezy quick process. It is a sacrifice that involves a lot of cost to the woman, physically and financially and professionally. And the government doesn't get to force women to sacrifice themselves.

--someone who willingly permanently damaged her own body in order to birth a child and would do it all over again, because it would be my choice to do so.[/quote]
