I'm not an Obama fan myself, but there are many different kinds of muslims, just like there are many different kinds of christians.
Don't be so prejudice. Free your mind. |

Mental and physical reprocusions to an abortion. My ex aborted our first pregnancy at the request of her mother. To this day she has had no medical problems as a result, nor has she shown any remorse for the abortion. And yes we do talk all the time, in case your wondering. As far as child support goes it is the womans choice to bring it up in court, this is true. It is not her choice to prosecute him, that responsibility is taken by the state. If the woman request for him to not be prosecuted, most of the time he will not be prosecuted. yes in some cases the state will take over, but it relies on the statement of the mother to an extent. I am sorry that your child was aborted, and it is a shame that you have had to live with that for so long. I am truly sorry for that. But just because your ex did not have any does not mean that they don't exsist. Everyone is different, everyone handles things differently, every woman's body is different. Most of the women I know who have had them (4 total) have had severe emotional issues their whole lives, and one has terrible physical issues from it. Abortion is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Again though it is not ours to make for everyone, only ourselves. Thanx for the simpathy vote dear, but no thanx. I have no problem with dealing with my own demons. Wow, I was sincere about that, it's ashame your anger envelopes you so. |

I have a question to add to your question. If someone kills the fetus or unborn child other than a doctor doing an abortion is it still murder? This assumes the pregnant woman lives thru some sort of assualt. If the answer is yes someone please explain to me when doctors became exempt to the law of the land. If the answer is no please explain how two counts of murder can be charged. Because doctors that perform abortions don't randomly go around and randomly pick pregnant women to abort children from, papers are signed by the mother that she wants the proceedure. There have been cases where pregnant women were abducted by women who couldn't have children and the baby was delivered by very barbaric tactics and the mother was dead and the baby was still alive. There was a case in Ravenna Ohio in about 1999 or 2000, the father got the baby back, however his wife was buried in a shallow grave. This is the oposite as what you were eluding to, but the same therory. |

It is still a woman's body regardless to your wanting to make it more. She has the choice. Once children can be carried and birthed by men then they to will know the joy and pain involved. Until then, a woman has a right to chose to bring a life into the world or not
You are absolutely right, a woman DOES have the right to choose wether or not to bring a child into this world. Here-in lies the misunderstanding. If the woman (or the man that will run away if the woman becomes pregnant) does not want to bring a baby into this world, then you should be CHOOSING to not have sex in the first place. Pregnancy is the NATURAL result of sexual activity; it is what you have sex for. Now, for those that will argue for the instance of rape, I am sorry, but in my opinion, it is simply another issue to bring against the rapist, although I can definitely understand and sympathise the resent and even hatred some might feel towards delivering the child. And for those that argue for the case of imminent death for the mother, I am sorry, but you chose to have sex, then you need to be prepared for the consequences of that action. About the ONLY time I can possibly think of condoning an abortion would be if it was able to be proven beyond a doubt, that the child would be born dead anyway. But generally speaking, it all boils down to when the woman (or man) should be making their choice, which is BEFORE a pregnancy occurs, not after. So if a woman is raped she should raise the child? You won't even give her the morning after pill, which by the way most pregnancies happen 24-48 hours after sex and what the morning after pill does is prevent a pregnancy and not abort one, just so you all have your facts straight on this now. These argument simply go back to my previous statements that again certain men have been emasculated and now want total control of women to get back at the woman who did them wrong. It's a good thing people in congress don't listen to the ravings of lunatics. |

Pregnancy is the NATURAL result of sexual activity; it is what you have sex for. Only if you abide by a Judeau (sp) Christian belief system. Again here we go with pushing your value and belief system (I am speaking about the part that says "it is what you have sex for" so when you argue with me, it is clearly stated what i was refering to) There are hundreds of other religions that sex is an act of love, not an act of pro-creation. It is seen as a right and a privledge and an honor, not a responsibility to populate the earth. |

The way you look at her,
was the way you looked at me. The way you run your hands up and down her arms, was the way you used to do to me. That crooked smile when she speaks your name, used to belong to me. The way you introduce me as your oldest and dearest friend, makes me want to stab you in the heart, the way that does me. The way she flirts with other men, makes me happy on the inside. The way she laughes at all your jokes even though she doesn't get them, makes me revel in her stupidity. The way I can see into the future and see her tearing your heart out and smashing her cigarette into it, makes me thank God that you will feel the pain that you left for me. Even if it kills me, I'll wish you the best. |

So instead of taking resonsibilities for my part in a pregnancy, I should instead, since it's none of my business, tell the woman that it's her problem deal with it? I didn't tell you what you should or shouldn't do, that is YOUR choice, just as it is hers. No, but the law does hold men accountable, not very well, this is true. But the woman shouldn't be ? The woman is responsible, every single step of the way, if she chooses to abort, or if she chooses to keep it, and because a man can just quit his job and get a new one til they find him again for support some women raise children with no help whatso ever from the father. hence why it is her decision and not his. I'm not saying that women don't abandon their children, but it is far easier for a man to do it, and much more common. The choice to abort is not a responsibility, it is an option out. With the current laws in most states if not all, it is a criminal offence for a man to run off and not pay child support. In my state alone it is a manditory six month sentence to get behind on child support, and when the man is released he only has a certain amount of time to catch back up. I think they should get longer sentences, but then the mother would still be S.O.L. while he's doing time. you don't think there are reprocusions to an abortion? There are alot, both mental and physical, worse than what any court in the land could impose. In most circumstances the mother can decide if she wants the man prosecuted for non payment, so if he acted right and did what he was supposed to the entire time, she can decide to or not to send him to jail in most cases. If he had a child with a psycho crazy women that would put him in jail just becuase he lost his job or whatever, well it serves him right for having sex with someone who is unstable. |

We live in a country full of double standards. Pro-Choice, yeah right. What suprises me is how many people support the womans right to murder a child while at the same time being completely against enforcing the death penalty on convicted murders. The only light I can see at the end of this tunnel is that every time the supreme court has to see an abortion case before it, abortion gets one step closer to being illegal. And when that happens and it will one day, then those that continue to have abortions can be tryed as the murders they are. Well sir, I see according to your profile that you smoke. Did you know that if you father a child, it runs a much greater risk of spontaneous aborting? Are we to assume that your support of justice for an embryo would extend to the unborn being able to have the government sue you on their behalf for negligence that allowed harm to come it? And if you did convict a woman of murder for having an abortion, do you favor the death penalty for her? Would you yourself like to throw the switch? -Kerry O. First, let me say to you that while my ex was pregnant I didn't smoke, for the same reasons that you decide to outline. It does cause health risks to an unborn child. I, unlike these Pro-Choice or Abortion addvicates, took responsibility for MY actions and the possible risk to OUR son. Second, If the laws on abortion are changed and it IS made illegal, than I WOULD be more than happy to throw the switch. Woman as well as men have to take the responsibility for their actions. I've read comments about women not having control of a mans penis, this true. They do however have the same right as a man to say no, to keep their clothes on and their legs shut, or be willing to accept the responsibilities of their actions. To me it is no different than a man walking into a drug store and killing the clerk. We would expect that man to take responsiblity and punishment for his actions, would we not? so you want to murder the murderer. Sounds great, I'm sure you are qualified to kill women. I thnik you are missing the point, men should take responsibility, and alot of them do, and for that I commend them, but how sad is a statement that we commend men for taking responsibility for a pregnancy, but we rarely hear of people who commend a woman for doing the same thing, it is simply expected. Instead we say things like "Oh she got pregnant, I hope she learns her lesson" What do we say about the man responsible? NOTHING. When the double standards stop, then we will be equal, so for now, unless you tatoo your name on the pregnant womans head and it says "I take full responsibility for my part in this" Don't concern yourself with how certain women choose to survive. |

We made Adam eat the apple, so we get punished for the rest of eternity. I'm glad some of you men take the femine power so literally, yes, you are correct, We women hold all the power in the world, now all you need to do is learn to RESPECT it. All will be placid in the world if you understood the divine power of a woman, let us handle things, and stop all your male posturing life would be great. While we are at it, why don't we go on witch hunts again, why don't we do like China and cut to the chase and kill all the female babies that we don't deem necessary. After reading this and the other thread instead of changing my mind about abortion, and my stance on choice, what all of the male anti-choice proponents have done is make me realize that you fear us. You fear women who have control of themselves. They have counceling for this. You should seek it. For the women who are pro-life, I have yet to see any of them tearing down a woman with an oposing position. This only confirms my previous statement. Men, I am sorry some woman has emasulated you, but you really should understand that you let that happen, and not take it out on all woman. |

Once again someone has enlightened me, it's not about abortion it's about choice. So glad you cleared that up Silly me what was I thinking anyway. Women have a choice, they chose to engage in sex even though the obvious consequence of that act could be pregnancy. They chose not to practice restraint or birth control or insist that their partner does. In the heat of passion they forgot to take adequae precautions, but they chose not to use "morning after" pill in the cold light of dawn. Why is it that the only time they are able to exercise their choice is when it involved the termination of that pregnancy which more than likely would not have occurred if they had availed themselves of the choices they had prior to the conception? I know that there are many who will want to jump in here with tales of instances where bith control methods didn't work save it, you can't use the exception to justify the rule. Some people think the morning after pill is murder.I recall wal mart wouldnt sell it. That's a joke, they won't sell music that is rated R, but they will sell guns and amo, explain that one? |

I'm sorry, some people are gonna be angery about this. My belief is that the 'baby' is alive at the moment of conception. Abortion should only be allowed if the mother is going to die if the pregancy is carried out to full term. If the mother AND the father does not want the child it should be placed for adoption. Personal note: My wife and I wanted to adopt a child because she was not able to have one. One of those aborted fetusus could have been our child. You have the right to feel how you do, just do not force it on others. As a woman, if another woman choses to bring the child into the world with all that entails then good for her, but if she choses not to bring the child into the world, she has a right to chose that also. Noone should tell a woman whether or not to have or not have an abortion. If you have a problem with it go to the abortion clinic and offer to take the child off her hands and pay her hospital bills and care she needs while pregnant and then adopt the child from her. Then you have saved one of these lives you go on about. If you are not willing to care for the child for the rest of it's life then stay out of it. Also another thing this woman does decide not to have an abortion and gets on assistance and all these (except lex)men on here will be screaming about the welfare and how their tax dollars are raising all these welfare kids, mom's just keep having more kids, etc........LOL it is crazy. Don't want em aborted but don't want em pinching your taxes either. LOL Just stupid it is, no offense of course. Isn't it sad that our society doesn't considered the murder of a child "everyone's" business? Isn't it sad that adoption agencys and couples already agree to take care of the mother's medical bills, but some pretend that isn't the case? Isn't it sad that so many couples must adopt from foreign countries to get healthy newborns, when so many children are murdered in the USA every year? Right and most of these families are very particular about what they want, as the cost incurred come directly from their pocket when done in this manner, so they want white anglo saxon children, or even go so far as to say what they do and do not want the biological parents educational history to be. Again, until you have all your facts straight, don't talk about things you don't know about. |

You guys are not getting the full brunt of what a woman goes through to make these choices as you cannot get pregnant. So to judge for you is easy but not accurate at all. Dragoness -- My position on this has always been that I, as a man, have no business whatsoever telling any woman what to do with her own body. You're right, there is no way a man can fully understand the ramifications of this procedure; and that's why I have always felt it has to be the woman's choice. Thank you lex, I did notice in your earlier post that you are staying nuetral on this. I appreciate your position. When I said men, I just did not list those that are making judgements with no background to go on. Since some men seem to have a problem with it, I surely do hope they are wrapping it up when they have sex to stop from the perpetuation of the problem. If not that maybe some salt peter would do so there won't be any pregnant girls to have abortions, hmmmmmmmm?????? Ugh. Since when is the baby the same thing as the woman's body? This is a separate human life we're talking about, not a decision on whether or not to lose weight or get a tan. "Pro choice" is a pretty term for justifying exactly the opposite: stealing the choice..in fact, all choices..from a precious human-being-to-be. Neither do I lack personal connection to the issue. My oldest brother was aborted years before I was born...it would have been nice to know him. And my mom, though she's since healed from the mistake, still greatly regrets that decision. really it's the same? So if you cut the cord, it would do nothing? It's full nutrition and oxygen doesn't come from the mothers intake? Tell that to a pregnant woman who can't walk, or breath or eat enough in her last few months of pregnancy. "Oh it's not attached to you, it's a seperate entitiy, you're just being silly" So if a woman has an eptopic pregnancy, she should just let it be? She should let it kill her, because it is a fetus. A woman who has complications should carry a baby to term, what if she has 3 other children to take care of, and carring that one would kill her? You would let 3 children grow up without a mother so that both the mother and possibly the baby could die? Anti-choice people don't have all the facts, they go strictly on their own morals, which is simply ridiculous. Not everyone reads the bible or are christians, and I have never seen in the bible where it says tho shalt not have an abortion, or where it says, when a man and woman do the nasty a child is conceived. |

Pro-Abortion and Pro-Choice are the same exact thing, by the way. You can't be Anti-Abortion and Pro-Choice and you can't be Pro-Abortion and Anti-Choice. The only thing you can be is Pro-Choice and Pro-Abortion. yes you can, I am against abortion FOR ME, but I believe since i do not walk in anyones shoes but my own that i should not infringe my morals and ethics on someone else. by the way your facts are flawed, so until you do some real research on what the laws do and do not say, I suggest that you state things as "in my opinion" or "I thnik" or something like that. |

Now those who are pro-abortion say human life does not begin until birth. Okay, make that point, but then how can you justify our court system giving double murder to those who kill a pregnant woman? I even heard a pro-abortionist person saying that someone who murders a pregnant woman should be tried for both murders. WHAT? That makes absolutely no sense at all. She went on to say it is different because the woman wanted to keep the fetus. I asked her "How can you murder a 'human' that you don't consider a living human being?" She then went on to argue again and again that it is different because the pregnant woman wanted to keep the fetus. What screwy logic. Well first off it's not pro-abortion it is pro-choice, meaning you have the choice. I don't know anyone that runs around trying to convince people to have abortions, or get pregnant constantly so they can have one. Secondly, it is only considered a double murder after the start of the third trimester, as laws stand now, and abortion is only done the first and partially into the second trimester, on a non health related standpoint. So if you murded a pregnant woman in her third trimester if would be murder because you have done so after she has made the choice to be pregnant and carry the child to term. |

When men stopped treating us like ladies is when we stopped being one. The last man I went out with, on a first date, asked me in the middle of dinner if I had a place for him to put his toothbrush when we got home. I excused myself to the restroom, called my friend and had her pick me up. Don't throw stones at the women, start with your own team first. I will give you a bye on the idea that some men are nothing more than pigs hun, but the very same thing is true about women also. I treat every single female I meet as a lady (opening doors, trying not to use too foul of language in her presence [I do fail sometimes at this one] going with her choice when we are undecided about what to do, etc. etc. etc.). I always treat a female as a lady unless she acts in a way to state she is not a lady. For example: cussing like a sailor (forgive me sailors, lol), pouring alchohol down their throats like they are a dried out sponge that needs to be saturated in order to survive, throwing punches at someone simply because they disagree with them. In other words if a female acts with respect towards herself and others, I treat her with that same respect and dignity. If hse is crass and crude and belligerent I dont have the time of day to even achnowledge her. Some guys, try most guys. You may not, or a few others, but for the most part from what I have seen in the last few months it's not worth getting ready for a date that is going to end badly. So, you have met the majority of the men in the world? Wow, I thuoght I have done some traveling.. way to go girl!!!! Daniel, do not take your anger with me from another thread out on me in this thread. READ what I said. From what I have seen. |

When you have a vagina you can do whatever you want with it
(Forgive me folks but I have to ask this, even though I do not believe it myself} Does the above statment mean on the reverse that because I have a ****, I can do whatever I want with it with no consequences as well? Well no it doesn't. It means that you suffer your own consequences. You keep telling Ellgee to learn to read, take some advise and do the same. My statement spoke nothing of having no consequences, it simply states that if you do not have a vagina you cannot tell me what to do with mine, and since I do not have a penis I will not tell you what to do with it. Until either of us has the other there is no way for us to understand the intriqucies of why or why not. |

This is part of the whole problem with this issue, a bunch of people who are not involved with my life want to tell me what is right and wrong for me?[ not once did any of us tell you what to do with your life. We told you that you shuldnot commit murder. Stop pushing your views on eveyone else
not once have I pushed my views on anyone else. I am simply participating in a discussion. If you feel I am "pushing my views" upon you then you need to go elsewhere, because this is an open forum whre anyone may speak as long as they do not attack, or harrass etc.* There is a movie out it is a few years old, the name of it eludes me right now, it is about an abortion doctor in England I think it was, before it was legal, and showed how many women were doing it even though it was illegal, and showed how many women did not get proper care before, during and after
Your right, just because somethign is illegal does not mean it wont happen. but does that mean we need to make it legal for soeone to go out and rape another? Or murder a person that is not still physically attached to their mother? What about drugs? Should we make it legal for the use of all drugs because of hte drug wars? Look at it this way, If I said that it was ethically wrong to have proceedures that enable you to have children, for those women who have healt problems. So if you have a health problem that you cannot have children, I think it is ethically wrong to superceed God's will for you to not have children. God obviously did not want you to have them, or he would have made it so. so if you go into the hospital to have those sorts of procedures, I am going to picket the hospital, I am going to throw eggs at you, and I may even find your home # and harras you at home. Ethically it is wrong to me for you to do this, so I will stop you.
I have not once mentioned anything abot religion or god ar any of that. As far as I am concerned enabling someone to give life is a heck of a lot mor moral, than allowing them to take it away, for [by]any reason. And as far as getting physical in any way towards a woman/man or clinic/hospital I did not say, nor have I participated in any way, that this would be right or ethical. And as far as "going into your home..." I am not going into your home. Yes you are at home. however I am at my home. We are both using the internet, which is a choice we both make for ourselves, and you chose to come into this thread and read it and comment. I am assuming no one is standing there with a gun to your head (or anything similar) forcing you to turn on the internet, sign onto JustSayHi.com and to participate in this thread. So if you do not like being told my views (or anyone elses) thenturn off your computer and quit participating. Back at you, if you don't like my views, don't listen to me. And I am stating my opinion, not talking directly to you, I may on occasion use what you have said to prove my point, but I think you are taking me way too personally. Let me state for the record: I do not agree with abortion, I do not think healthy babies should be aborted, I do believe that it is a question of morals and ethics, and I will not and should not opose my views of them on anyone else. I believe that if it is in my body, grows inside of me, it is mine, no matter what small minut part you played in it. again when you have a vagina you can do anything you want with it, until that point in time, it is none of your business. Back in caveman time, the men went out and hunted and the women stayed in the camps to protect the children, the women were responsible for all the children to a certain age, when then the boys would go with the men and the girls would stay with the women to learn the ways of survival. Women by nature are natually more intune with the survival of children, if they thought the children were in danger from another tribe or wild animals, they would kill them themselves, to avoid suffering. Their morals and ethics were not questioned. It was the way it was, the way or survival. |
