[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the outrage over a stupid ultrasound but zero outrage or any feeling whatsoever over the life of the innocent baby?  seriously, step back 5 feet and think this through.[/quote]

Because it is still my body and my decision, not yours. Because this law assumes that I am too stupid to make fully informed decisions. You should feel free to carry as many pregnancies as you want to term. That's your choice. You don't get to take my choice away from me because you disagree with me.[/quote]

The issue is that there is a large portion of the world that believes a baby regardless of stage is another human being. Now the question is at what point is it? I believe we will see that it is probably at 14-16 weeks especially with new technology that can detect brain waves pain etc... so your argument will not be valid[/quote]

Yes, it will be. Because it's still my body. I know you really don't like that and you disagree with my opinion and think I'm a horrible baby killing monster or whatever, but it's still MY BODY. NOT YOURS.[/quote]

but it isn't your body at that point - it is a separate body.  separate DNA, separate heart, separate brain, separate.  a 2 month old baby won't survive a weekend without care from his parents.  how is that any different 6 months earlier?[/quote]

[b]If you're trying to get me to admit that I'm in favor of late term abortions, you're not going to get anywhere. I personally wouldn't have one, but unlike you, I do not expect everyone to adhere to my moral code. I'm certain I don't agree with many of the decisions you've made regarding the conception, carrying, birthing and raising of your children. I'm certain you don't agree with many of my decisions. I am not telling you that you're not allowed to make those decisions. If you'd like to carry a pregnancy to term and then give that baby up for adoption, you should feel free to do that. If your doctor tells you that the fetus you're carrying has abnormalities that are incompatible with life and you'd like to carry that pregnancy to term as well, you should feel free to do that. It's not my business one way or another what you do. The only thing I'm asking is that when I am making decisions, with my husband and my doctor, about my reproductive rights, you stay out of those decisions because they are not yours to make.[/quote][/b]

PP, thank you for this great post. This sums it up perfectly. What is going on in VA and all around the US in terms of the War on Women boils down to this.[/quote]

no, its a horrible post.   at first she said it is "MY BODY".  then she backtracked and said it was "HER DECISION".  I think the other party involved has a decision as well.[/quote]

Please. It's both. It's my body, therefore I get to decide what medical procedures to undergo. That's my decision.

My real point, which I didn't state specifically because I didn't think I had to, was that I am absolutely certain that it's not YOUR decision or YOUR body, so back off. If you're going to go off about how the fetus gets a choice, like I said, I'm sure there are things that you are teaching your children or giving to them that I do not believe in. But they're YOUR KIDS. So I'm not going to tell you how you do or do not get to raise them. You'd be absolutely furious if I walked into your life and started telling you how to live it and you know it.[/quote]
