Should abortion be legal?

[porcupine]

No.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Oh. So now it's sexist if you don't support murder? A man has every right to his child just as much as the woman does.

That would only be the case in a matriarchal scoiety, my dear

 

[Monolithic]

of course

her body, her choice

 

[micahnelson]

of course

her body, her choice

Wouldn't that apply more to suicide?

 

[Unspun]

Being prolife is the same as saying you want to stick your nose in other people's business.

So what you're saying is murder should be legal because it's none of other people's business? I see...

 

[SeanEdwards]

Abortion should be legal under all circumstance so long as the procedure used to abort the baby is done carefully, humanely,

Careful and humane for who? How is it humane to dismember a tiny helpless underdeveloped person? The abortion fans should at least have the courtesy to wait for the victim to reach an age and stage of development where they have some opportunity to defend themself. It's just not sporting otherwise.

Can you change the poll to differentiate between FEDERALLY LEGAL and LOCALLY LEGAL?

I don't think the federal government should be involved in this issue - as they are now - thanks to ROE vs WADE.

In my state - yes - I would fight for legislation that protects the LIFE of another human being.

Common Sense...

Wow this post really took off. I guess I hit a nerve.

Well I guess I am going to have to be sexist (no just kidding) and say that I don't think it should be legal *EXCEPT* in the case of rape and if it is because of that within the first couple weeks.

 

[Ron Paul Vermont]

Wow and split it right. 11-10-6-3

Other explain: Should premeditated murder be legal?

 

[youngbuck]

I guess killing an unborn baby is a mother's right. Makes perfect sense to me!!!

How about a born baby? The letters "un" don't really make much of a difference.<IMHO>

Should We Legalize Baby-Killing?!

I know this is a split issue in the Libertarian party and I wanted to see roughly where it is split down the lines.

Asking if abortion should be legal is like asking if murder should be legal. The answer should be obvious. If it's not, then perhaps these pictures should assist you towards the correct answer (Warning: graphic pictures).

Well, it's definitely not a chicken (nor any other animal, for that matter).

I voted Yes abortion should be legal.

Life begins at conception, but you are a not an individual, a person, and do not have any rights until you are born.

Why is this so hard for some people understand…FALLOW THE PROPERTY.

Until a child is born, the fetus is a part of the mothers body, the mother is the original owner of her body (the property), thus the fetus growing in her body belongs to her.
The property owner can do as they want with their own property, thus the mother has a right to chose whether or not to let it continue to live.
I would have no problem with women getting pregnant just to have abortions to sell their fetus for harvesting stem cells.

Now if you kill a mother and her child, then yes, you are accountable for 2 deaths, because you were not the owner of either property.
If a doctor harms or kills a fetus by accident, he is not the property owner, and the mother has the right to sue him for the damage.

Let me put some of my other views here so you can have a better grasp of me:

I also think that suicide should be legal. It is a victimless crime, thus not a crime.

I also support the idea of allowing premeditated murder of anyone crossing the border illegally. The government should offer a bounty of $100 per body brought in. The government should cover this cost by harvesting organs from the dead bodies, and turning the rest turned into fertilizer. And yes I would be ok with killing the women and children also, they are a bigger drain on our economy then the men anyways.

I would still want the government to own the roads, but I would like them to allow me my right to free travel and not place restrictions on my speed or my choice of driving styles, unless I cause an accident. The speed I am traveling at should be non of their concern unless I actually hit someone else’s property. At that point my speed should be cited as a reason for the crash. All these stupid driving laws are just taking away my right to chose, should I not have the right to make a bad choice and drive like an ass if I want too? I don’t care that I may be risking someone else life, they had the choice to stay home, or to take a back road, charge me if I actually injure someone.

Drug laws. Scrap them all. Once again a victimless crime. only people getting hurt because of drugs are the people caught in the crossfire of turf wars to control the black market sales.

Until a child is born, the fetus is a part of the mothers body,

That is not true. The fetus is genetically unique individual. It is not part of the woman's body, it is a parasitic organism within the mothers body.

the mother is the original owner of her body (the property), thus the fetus growing in her body belongs to her.

So if you have dinner inside my house, does that mean you belong to me? You're inside my property, shouldn't I have the right to kill you if I feel like it?

The property owner can do as they want with their own property, thus the mother has a right to chose whether or not to let it continue to live.

Our law has not considered human beings property since the emancipation proclamation.

I also support the idea of allowing premeditated murder of anyone crossing the border illegally. The government should offer a bounty of $100 per body brought in.

You could have just stated a disclaimer at the beginning of your post. Something along the lines of, "I'm a sociopathic ghoul with no morality. Here's what I think..."

I don’t care that I may be risking someone else life,

Oooohkaaaay....

You wouldn't happen to have sharks in your family tree would you?

 

[Ozwest]

I prefer to treat women as thinking individuals, capable of making decisions.

 

[revolutionman]

each individual state should decide whether or not abortion should be legal or illegal based on the consensus of said states populace.
