I am ok with the day after pill (or week after pill, or whatever it is).  I am ok with birth control.  So if you make a mistake, or something unplanned happens, take the day after pill.  But 2-3 months later I think its too late, sorry.[/quote]

I consider myself a pretty liberal woman, and I've always wanted to be pro-choice, but I kind of agree with the above.  I could never really fully feel comfortable with the fact that, although it is a woman's body, technically the baby growing inside is a separate entity, life, body, whatever you want to call it, and an abortion is ending a life. I want to be pro-choice, but I have always felt uneasy about sanctioning termination of a human life.  I should clarify that I'm talking about after the growing baby has characteristics that, in my opinion, make it human (e.g., a developed and differentiated nervous system, beating heart, etc.).  Earlier than that in a pregnancy, I think it's a sufficiently murky and gray area, and abortion very early, in my book, is 'okay,' for lack of a better word. 
Also, my thoughts sometimes turn to the dads... it's the woman's body that is carrying the baby, but the baby is 50% dad's baby...so what happens if he wants the baby but the mom wants to terminate?  It's such a tough subject. I wish we could just eliminate the need for abortions, as a PP said.[/quote]

The law as it is now needs to be changed to determine a point where the baby is it's own entity. [b]It is very barbaric and ignorant to think that just because its physically inside the woman that it is her property[/b], I still can't believe this is the test of what is part of a person vs what is not, using this logic would a woman be able to take ownership of any being or item but consuming it? . I also feel it is unfair that a man has no say in whether a termination occurs or not.[/quote]

It is very barbaric to think that, just because there's a fetus in there, a woman no longer has control of her own body.  [/quote]

LOL, again with "her own body".  the baby is not "your body", sorry.  you are carrying two lifes, and that makes things very complicated.  stop looking for easy answers when there are none.[/quote]

I've got a good answer - let's kill this bill.

I think the hypocrisy of the Republicans is funny in a sadistic sort of way. Leave my money alone, don't tax me, but oh, let's stick a probe up a woman's vagina for NO medical purpose and put her to shame. We must inflict mental torture on a person because this is what we Republicans feel is the best way to decrease abortions in this country. I bet these legislators would take great pleasure to shove one of these probes up a woman's vagina to change her mind. Vindictive. [/quote]
