Do you know Dr. Seuss was pro-choice? This is coming from pro-life.

haha thats true I did. So say I have a two year old that I know longer want to take care of, I'm going to inject him with poison tonight (it will be painless), unless you adopt him. Will you? What if I had 100 2 year olds in that situation?

First of all I think a fetus and a two year old are different but yah I'd probably adopt that two year old to save him. However I doubt i'd be able to save all 100 two year olds. As for killing the thing is a fetus cannot feel the pain, think for itself, or have feelings at the early stages of pregnancy. Those come after you obtain a developed enough brain. To me the earlier an abortion is done the better.
I'd probably try to prevent you from killing the child. Unlike the fetus your two year old already experienced life and thus this means that life can be taken away from him. To me life begins when you are able to think for yourself and feel emotions not just when your heart beats. To be honest I'll only support early term 8-10 week abortions. I mean its still more than enough time to get an abortion yet not enough time for that fetus toΒ developΒ life. Β If killing a fetus is wrong because of a beating heart then....we should all be vegans. .

I'm going to quote you really quick so I keep on track.Β
"To me life begins when you are able to think for yourself and feel emotions not just when your heart beats."
Well, biologically, a zygote is "alive" from the moment of conception. I understand though that you're saying a baby has value as a person once it can think for itself and feel emotions. If thats the case though, then you are worth more increasingly as you age and then worth less as you become elderly. So you should feel more guilt over killing a 20 year old than a 10 year old and not much guilt at all for killing someone in a nursing home. This seems a little illogical doesn't it? As for the emotional side, women tend to feel things more deeply than men, does that mean that murdering a man is more acceptable than murdering a woman? Or what about people on medication to regulate their emotions (like depression)? Is it more acceptable to kill them because they have an impared range or emotions? (None of this is sarcastic I promise, I'm just taking your statement to the full extent of their implications so I can see if I understand you.)

Um I hate to tell you this but your logic is off. First of all if being alive means its a life then why isn't it wrong to buy already picked flowers? They were biologically alive right? If being biologically alive alone makes it wrong lets stop eating plants and animals please and thank you.
Ok Thought process. Do you really think 10 year olds and the elderly are incapable of thoughts? No education is not thought. A 10 year old thinks just as much as a 20 year old they just think about other stuff. Ask a kid what he thinks about spongebob he'll give you an answer. Heck if you asked a 5 year old if they think Obama would be president they will give you an answer and a reason. It might not be a good reason. That five year old is more likely to say "no because maybe another person wants a turn and its not fair." but wouldn't you agree that perhaps that's thought? And have you spoken to any elderly in nursing homes. They think as well. The fetus is more like a person in a coma but then again if i wound up in a coma i'd rather somebody pull the plug.
Now lets look at emotions. Do you realize how sexist that sounds no offense. Guys feel emotions too. If I were to kill a father's child wouldn't he cry? I'm sorry but society is wrong men are not void of emotions. Depression also is an emotion as well as a medical condition. I talked to somebody who suffers from depression they still have emotions. Even those on anti depressants have emotions. Those happy pills wont prevent somebody from crying if you hurt somebody close to them.
But a fetus in its early stages of development is 100% void of emotion and thought. Its also cannot feel pain. Find me a person who cannot have a SINGLE thought in their head, who is 100% void of emotion, AND cannot feel pain, and yes it must have ALL three in which society says its wrong to kill and then we'll talk.
And don't say a sleeping person because you still have thoughts, feelings, and the ability to feel pain. I've experienced it all in dreams.

Look, I'm going to be as nice as I can: Banning abortions and closing abortion clinics isn't going to keep people from getting them. They do however prevent women from dying from abortions that could be necessary to keep someone alive. We have enough people, and for once, can we think with our brains, not our emotions, and consider that there are far too many people on this planet? I'm not evil, I'm just being realistic.

I dont want to be rude or start a fight or anything, but I would like to point out that the fact that women would have abortions if they were illegal isnt a good reason to keep it legal. Robbery is illegal and people still steal suff, so should that be legal? Of course not! You have to consider whether something is right or wrong, not how popular it is.Β
Oh and "safe legal abortions," yea women still die from those. A lot. Google it. Abortion is a HIGHLY unregulated practice which is insane! Its a surgical procedure, but in most states, abortion clinics don't have to hold the sanitary and safety standards of other centers for surgery. Why don't the lives and safety of the women matter more than the money the clinics are making off of them?? Sorry haha that rant wasn't really directed at you. I just wish people realized these places aren't safeΒ

You seriously need to recheck your sources. Realize that most abortion clinics are safe and sanitary, otherwise many of them would not meet the health requirements that would keep them eligible for state funding. And very few people die from the procedure at all. Most of what you'll find is a lot of propaganda, which is a one-sided argument devised to only sell an idea or ideology. Think of it this way, if a single mother of four has met complications in her pregnancy that would kill her if said pregnancy is not terminated, would it be acceptable for her to get an abortion?Β

Now, your second point, the mother's endangered life. There is only one type of pregnancy where there is absolutely no way to save both the mother AND the baby. That is ectopic pregnancy. In ectopic pregnancies the zygote is implanted in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus and if it is not removed the fallopian tube will rupture and the mother will hemmorage to death. In this case and only this case it is a choice between one or two people dying and the only right thing to do is to abort and save the mother. Its a tragedy but it's necessary. The very day modern medicine finds a way to transfer the zygote from the fallopean tube to the uterus will be the day that that procedure will be the correct avenue to take. Currently though, that does not exist.Β

"According to the CDC study, 12 women died from complications related to legal abortion in 2008 β double the number of the previous year."
"The CDC report explains that information about abortion-related deaths comes from a variety of sources, including 'state vital records, public health agencies, maternal mortality review committees, health-care providers and provider organizations, private citizens and citizen groups, and media reports, including computerized searches of full-text newspaper and other print media databases.'Β 'For each death that possibly is related to abortion, CDC requests clinical records and autopsy reports,' says the report. 'Two medical epidemiologists review these reports to determine the cause of death and whether the death was abortion related.' "
This is from a pro life website granted, but you can look up the stories. Mainstream sources aren't reliable for this kind of information because these stories aren't popular.Β

These are the raw numbers used in an article from a .gov site. lol but personally I get lost in statistics like this.Β

Its funny how happy you are. As if there are no people who oppose it. I honestly dont see how our country could support something so outrageous as killing babies. Its a battle. Dont just be a billboard.

If you fight fire with fire everyone ends up burned. I go to an abortion clinic every week to talk to the women going in. They don't feel like they have a 'choice.' They are usually desparate and think that abortion is the only way to "fix" their problems. Their minds would NEVER be changed by hate, however, I have seen many women change their minds because of the kind words and actions of people like EmmanaciousΒ
