[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roe isn't going anywhere. The sky is not falling.

Conservatives are pragmatists. They don't like abortion, so they tend not to have them. They also recognize the tremendous value in keeping the numbers of liberals in check that abortion provides.  Margaret Sanger knew what she was doing when she founded PP. [/quote]

are you nuts.  your base is evangelical mysonginist. they would LOVE to overturn Roe.  Or just make it impossible to get an abortion in most states.  Sorry, I know several very conservative women who have had abortions, all pro-life. The hypocrisy of conservatives is well known.[/quote]

Are you unable to fathom that perhaps they consider the abortion to be the gravest mistake of their lives, and they want to prevent other women from suffering as they have?[/quote]

Exactly. It's about controlling women. Every anti-choice argument comes down to this. Jesus I get tired of this academic argument. I'm a physician and let me tell you bad outcomes do not discriminate. Nor do unexpected events, complications, or life complexities. You know what levels the playing field? Bleeding, death, infection. Chromosomal abnormalities.  Spouses whose drinking has been on the fringe for years and just lately got out of control. Job loss. Older parents getting ill and having to move in. SO many reasons life changes and you/your family can or cannot care for another baby. Everyone is different. Every situation. We treat people on a case by case basis all the time for heart attacks, hypertension, trauma, COPD, etc etc. Pregnancy is not different folks. It's just a health care issue that lives squarely in a veiled emotional argument that people think won't effect them, until it does. Then the rules don't apply.

I hope to the dear Lord that you are not my physician. If you don't see the difference between MIs, HTN, trauma, COPD, etc etc, and pregnancy -- which, I apparently need to remind this good doctor -- is about bringing new life into the world, then you need to go back to undergrad and retake biology. Or, perhaps you slept through your medical ethics courses.  (Oh, and in your last sentence, it's "affect them," not "effect them." You're welcome.)[/quote]
