[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  contraceptive rights are not going anywhere, though you shouldn't make religious institutions violate their faith.  there are good and bad results to society since the widespread availability and acceptance of contraceptives, but I'd argue more good than bad.

2.  abortion is a completely different issue.  opponents of abortion are interested in the welfare of the baby.  they are not trying to trample women or hold women back.  50% of the babies are female, obviously.[/quote]

But WHY are they so interested in the welfare of a child that has not been born yet and that is dependent on a woman for survival?  Why is there interest in the baby more important than hers?  Is it not absurd to think that a fetus should have the same rights that you and I have?  Even if it is &quot;alive&quot;?  If men carried babies, this would not be a debate.  Period.[/quote]

no, it is not absurd to me.  I think it absurd to feel otherwise.  If one thinks the baby is a person, of course it should be protected.   W[b]hat is more innocent and important than our future?[/b]  Seriously, clearly we approach this from different views.[/quote]

What does this even mean? [/quote]

Following up to ask, what are you so afraid of with regard to the future?  That women will just stop having babies if they can have abortions?  come on.  I really want to know why so much importance is being placed on the fate of unborn children.  So much importance that the life of a mother becomes second to it.  It doesn't make sense to me from a social or moral standpoint.  When I was pregnant, my husband and I decided from the very beginning that we would safe my live over our unborn baby's.  I think that is myright.  How dare anyone try to legislate that right away from me?  But that's exactly what people who want to give unborn baby's &quot;rights&quot; want to do.  How is that not oppressive?  How does that not take away a woman's right to control her life?[/quote]

you are not following.  if someone is pro-life, that normally means they think with 100% certainty that the unborn baby is a separate living person. so saving a life is more important than a woman's right to &quot;control&quot;.  now, the only time it gets tricky is if the life of the mom is in danger if the pregnancy were to continue.  in this case I don't think you can make one life more important than another life.  but yes, a life &gt; control.[/quote]
