Heaven forbid ANYONE EVER be held responsible for their own actions!!! Have the baby, their are WAITING lists for newborn babies for adoption.&lt;/em&gt;

Hey, if YOU get knocked up by accident, or by a rapist, YOU have the baby.  You don&#039;t get to decide for anyone else.  

While you&#039;re at it, adopt a non-white, disabled child -- there&#039;s lots of them available.  

Silly me, you&#039;ll be wanting the blond, blue-eyed baby.  F_ck off.</description>

C’mon FEMINAZIS, advocate the punishment for punching pregnant women in stomach causing miscarriages should ONLY BE TREATED AS BATTERY.&lt;/em&gt;

Actually, it would probably be Aggravated Assault, since punching a woman in the stomach hard enough to cause a miscarriage would likely cause serious damage to the woman as well.  

But since you hate women, why do you care?</description>

You&#039;re pretty stupid, aren&#039;t you?  Re-read my post, and you&#039;ll see why it&#039;s MY decision.  Try to fire up your brain, and you&#039;ll figure out why it&#039;s not legal for me to kill my newborn.</description>

		<description>woodguy, you seem to have missed the point that the extreme lefties have an ideological strangle-hold on the rest of us, through their extremist cronies in the  media and their,  in the courts and in other positions of power. It is strange that anyone who is not a right-wing nut, is still attacked as being closed-minded, facist, shovenist and ect. It goes to show how completely unwilling those who are ideologically indoctrinated are to face the fact that they selectively choose what scientific and medical facts they want to abide by, and that they will be just as intolerant, bigoted, and close-minded as those who question their ideology in order to preserve, and push their ideology down EVERYONE&#039;s throats. Oh man, I just had an epiphany: The far-left is guilty of the same things it accuses the far right of!! They are just two different sides of the same coin!!! Oh, by the way, that coin is called EXTREMISM.</description>

		<description>And by the way, the last survey I checked the vast majority of people in this country (unlike Saudi Arabia) supported the right of women to choose, so your &quot;Minority&quot; argument is a straw dog, and one that&#039;s stale and long in the tooth to boot. Those are the facts you wanted, I believe, not they&#039;ll make a difference to those of your ilk, for facts escape you and your closed minds.</description>

Well well, once again we have witnessed the work of the socialist, fear-mongering, left-wing gestapo. Let me ask you all a question, why is it that on one hand, a mother-to-be can get all the medical/scientific information she needs on the development, progress, and care of her unborn child, but on the other hand if a mother-to-be is unsure if she wants to be a mother, then alot of that SAME information will be DENIED her, because she might be considering to ‘terminate her pregnancy’? And please, someone, please explain to me why we ignore SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL FACTS -FACTS mind you!!- when it comes to the fetus in order to maintain a ‘reproductive-right’ that was pushed on to the Majority of America by a Minority. AND if anyone challenges this radical minority’s logic or this ‘reproductive right’ by pointing out those FACTS, or by standing by their morals and refusing to do referals, they are disembowed by that minority or those who support (or are afraid to challenge) their unscientific and irrational views??!! Iam an independently-minded and rational person, so someone please explian this to me using logic and reason. Convince me that Iam the one who is blind and irrational!

Please site one example where a &quot;mother-to- be has been &quot;DENIED&quot; any kind of information. The &quot;DENIERS&quot; are name-calling (&quot;socialist, fear-mongering, left-wing gestapoes&quot;-your words) ill-informed , and impervious to even the most elemental reasoning. Did Jesus think, or just blindly pontificate?</description>

		<description>Well well, once again we have witnessed the work of the socialist, fear-mongering, left-wing gestapo. Let me ask you all a question, why is it that on one hand, a mother-to-be can get all the medical/scientific information she needs on the development, progress, and care of her unborn child, but on the other hand if a mother-to-be is unsure if she wants to be a mother, then alot of that SAME information will be DENIED her, because she might be considering to &#039;terminate her pregnancy&#039;? And please, someone, please explain to me why we ignore SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL FACTS -FACTS mind you!!- when it comes to the fetus in order to maintain a &#039;reproductive-right&#039; that was pushed on to the Majority of America by a Minority. AND if anyone challenges this radical minority&#039;s logic or this &#039;reproductive right&#039; by pointing out those FACTS, or by standing by their morals and refusing to do referals, they are disembowed by that minority or those who support (or are afraid to challenge) their unscientific and irrational views??!! Iam an independently-minded and rational person, so someone please explian this to me using logic and reason. Convince me that Iam the one who is blind and irrational!</description>

Abortion is murder. Extinguishing a human life, is murder. What exactly is the difference of where that life resides or how old it is?&lt;/em&gt;

It makes a difference if it resides in my body, and I don&#039;t want it there.  

It&#039;s MY body.  

Not yours.
Not the state&#039;s.
Not my significant other&#039;s.
Nor does it belong to the fetus.

It&#039;s MY decision.</description>

		<description>MissMolly, how about we go a step farther and grant citizenship to all the sperm and all the eggs and allow deductions for each one?

Here&#039;s a really novel idea (to goopers), what about teaching people how to PREVENT pregnancy?  I think they&#039;re not paying attention to the fact that abstainance only doesn&#039;t work.  Just think of all those little clumps of cells and tissues that would no longer be as much a part of our national discussion as they are now.  If politicians were REALLY concerned, they would dispense contraceptives for free and not make kids feel stigmatized if they decide to have sex.  Not that I am for teenage sex because, often,  they don&#039;t fully understand the consequences, but hormones being what they are it&#039;s just plain stupid to think kids are going to abstain until they get married. (And if they do...how many more divorces and single parents would ensue?)

It&#039;s amazing how far just a smidge of common sense might go.</description>

I agree! And since that life starts at that zygote stage and added benefit would be the nine month extension of everyone&#039;s age. Think of all the 20 and3 monthers that could be kicking back a cold one at all those bars. Great economic stimulus. Of and about that statutory rape thing... if we would just add those nine months she&#039;s legal and see no problem...</description>
