Anyone else here pro-choice?

[Starks]

if states decide on abortion laws, females can go to different states and get it done right?

Yeah, they could. It should be left up to the states, but I hope they have the sense to keep it legal.

Male pro-choice for the simple reason that outlawing it doesn't work, it only makes the abortion less safe for the female.

This is the only thing I agree with Bush on.

A fetus may not be a human yet but I think it's important to error on the side of life. The respect of human life is the crux of what makes us human. If we don't have that then we are truly lost.

I am absolutely pro choice. The choice of the unborn without a voice. The choice of life instead of convenience.

I love your prose.

Male - Pro-choice - Let the states decide

I love your prose.

Frick, I didn't even notice... I'll have to save that

Pro Choice when the "child" is still just a bunch of clumped together cells for the first few weeks.

The way I look at that is how many generations of great men and women have we murdered? What incredible things could they have accomplished had they been allowed to live? Sadly, we'll never know.

I am Pro-Life. But even moreso I am Pro-prevention of unwanted pregnancies. We can do much better than we're doing now in that department.

pro-choice...i think ron paul has a weird constituency of followers, mostly atheistic/agnostic pro-choice let us decide capitalists...if he can sway the social conservatives at the march for life he might win some more states.

Pro-Not-Forcing-A-Child-To-Live-A-Life-In-Dysfunction. Seriously, if the mother wants to have an abortion it's for the good of both the child and the mother. The government belongs out of our beds and the womb. If you are forcing a woman to have and keep the baby, are you not putting the mother's life at risk? I say leave the women to their own bodies. Don't let this "family values" crap to be shoveled in your head with a daisy planted on top to package and make it look pretty. People need to take it upon themselves to mind their own business. If you don't agree with me, watch this condom commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbD_vRh8Ma0

(By the way, if a condom is used during sex, are you not preventing a viable egg from being fertilized? Someone should do something about this!)

I'm pro-choice, but I'm not a one issue voter. I'm also not a woman, so even if I was a one issue voter, this wouldn't be the issue.

I see the pro-life point of view as valid, but for me, it's mostly a question of enforcement. I also think the golden rule is a wonderful idea, but totally unenforceable. Unenforceable laws bring contempt on the whole body of laws.

Also, we get more rights as we get older. At 16 you get to drive. At 18, you get to vote. At 21 you get to drink. etc.

I don't have a problem with all you pro-life folks. I see why you believe the way you do.

Male pro-choice for the simple reason that outlawing it doesn't work, it only makes the abortion less safe for the female.

Outlawing the murder of an adult doesn't stop it either, should we legalize it? I mean if it is illegal, its less safe for the murderer.

 

[Starks]

The only problem I see with leaving the issue up to the states is the same problem that makes the state-by-state gay marriage/civil union recognition so complicated.

If abortion laws are left up to the state, there is nothing stopping an abortion-friendly state from placing severe restrictions on out-of-staters. If a doctor can sequester me for proof of insurance, it certainly isn't beyond my imagination that may also be forced to ask for proof of residency.

 

[Fields]

I'm in more of the minority than I thought. That's okay though. I still love you guys.

 

[rfbz]

pro-choice here. I think abortion will always exist, it's a question of how it's done. In safe environment or in a back alleyway? I fully understand the pro-life position though, everyone in my family is pro-life. And I agree that you don't want people to be having abortions left and right like it's nothing. But I feel that if a mother and father truly feel they aren't prepared to raise a child properly, then they probably shouldn't.

Well that's only if you believe that the soul of an aborted child is forever lost and never comes into existence because of the abortion.

Frankly, I believe that the soul of an aborted child simply gets reincarnated into someone else. Although my belief in this is probably radically unpopular.

Pro choice is hard to define.

I think a morning after pill is probably too extreme have the government step in, even though I think people should do all they can do avoid such a practice. On the other hand, I can understand why people think it is a crime against a child to abort it at late term. As it is a crime to kill a passenger in a car.

It is such a complex area that the best solution is to have various states create laws that their own populations generally accept.

We'll never get a perfect legal system for this, especially at a federal level. Hence I am 100% for having states handle these issues.

Pro lifers still have the right to promote their beliefs, as others can form organizations to warn about the use of alcohol. We just can't expect all the world's problems to be fixed by government. The less government interfering generally the better and that is the direction Ron Paul wants to lead us.

Well I'm a pro-voice hemale and I'm curious as to whether anywhales else or in Pacific waters are bi-gender curious or at least know someone who is.

Yeah right.

I have no idea what you just said. Come again?

All forms of murder will always exist. Why would you make the environment safe for the murderer?

 

[liberty_Forever]

I am pro-Life, but as I said it should be up to the States. I respect other people's opinions on this issue though.
