I could never kill a fetus, no one knows that the fetus doesn't go through pain during an abortion, it can't be proven, and it's inhumane to deny the fact that it may be an extremely painful experience (especially with some abortion techniques where they use an instrument to literally break the baby apart inside of you and then vacuum it out. Who in their right mind even invented this procedure!?) And what baffles me even farther is the same people who are for abortion, the destruction of an innocent unborn life, are AGAINST capital punishment, killing a scumbag criminal who if put in jail has a chance to get out and continue to kill, rape, and wreak havoc. This just makes no sense to me. Isn't abortion covered in the constitution under cruel and unusual punishment? If a pregnant woman is killed the murderer is charged with the death of 2 people, why is that baby considered a person? because it's wanted? An unborn baby is only a person if it's wanted? It seems to me people are extremely hypocritical, they want their cake and eat it too. People only do whatever is good for them, without thought to anyone else, it's selfishness and it's why the world doesn't work.

McCain said, in 2007, that Roe vs. Wade should be overturned out right, and so he is worse than Bush in this..

If the issue was truly about the health and survival of the potential child, why aren't our state and national governments doing more to help out the starving children of our own lower classes, other nations and countries? It isn't about CHILDREN or MOTHERHOOD, it's about a world in which women can refuse to accept or keep the sperm introduced to them by A MAN.

We are expected to be vessels and just cherish everything introduced into us! Having a baby shouldn't be a punishment or a penance! And there's a huge difference scientifically between what a morning after pill is and a full abortion!

I wonder how much effort those doctors would be willing to put in on their days off, what chunk of their salary they'd be willing to donate to the women who they won't allow to refuse motherhood to help them raise and support these chidren, or even pay their bills for these girls (obviously including rape victims) to HAVE IT.

the thing is, i never want a baby ever. my entire life. im going to be childless until i die.

ive always practiced extremely safe sex, and i rarely forget to take my pill (and on the two occasions it happened in the three years i have been on it, i followed the directions in the packaging to a T). I know birth control isnt 100% effective, but I dont feel i should have to wait until im 50 to lose my virginity because i never want children. i am very careful with sex, which i see as a sign of my maturity, but i want my last resort to always be there. i also wouldnt be comfortable with adoption because the reason i never want children is because i know i would put my career first. we also dont have paid maternity leave in this country, which would be necessary for recovery even if you had to give a child up for adoption. i wouldnt want to take the time out of my career to have the baby for adoption, and i might not be able to make it without the money (who knows?). the problem is, i know that there are people out there who definitly cant make it without the money, older women who get pregnant with a child they cant afford, and live paycheck to paycheck… so this gap of time needed in a hospital can turn into a nightmare, especially with those who dont have health insurance.

the fact is, however, if abortion were to be banned, it wouldnt really go away. it would go into back alleys, and survive on the black market. and women would die getting them.

i was also upset though over the partial birth abortion ban which happened under the bush administration. the reason being, is that i know many women who had severe problems during the last trimester of pregnancy, ones that came very close to inducing death of the mother. and they didnt leave any medical exceptions in this bill. if i actually wanted children, id definitly want to give birth in canada lol.

i didnt bring god into it either, but thats another reason why abortion should be left to the woman's discretion. i'm an atheist, and for me, if i were to get pregnant it would be because my birth control didnt work, and somehow and egg got down there, and the sperm found it. everyone is different, and they all deserve to be able to make such a life-changing decision for themselves.
