I voted yes.

 

[TheParser]

Oh, yes, yes, yes,

Women who decide to get an abortion are doing themselves a favor, a favor to the aborted fetus, and to the nation.

Interesting so you don't agree with pro-lifers that all fetuses must be born, if put in the system they can just suck from the government teat. So much for getting people off government aide and small government republicans...

That will change over time. Once Americans learn that slaughtering unborn children is a bad thing they'll come to their senses.

Whatever the legal merits of Roe v. Wade, most Americans think the gestation guidelines are a reasonable compromise. A six week embryo is a choice. A twenty six week fetus is a child. In between is one hell of an argument.

Legal in most cases as in elective abortion? No. Legal because actual doctors said carrying the child to 50% viability will cause the mother to lose her life, some condition that causes the baby to be born without a brain or some other special circumstance then sure abortion should be legal.

Republicans love to talk about babies. Then they refuse to help take care of them.

How Other Nations Pay for Child Care. The U.S. Is an Outlier.

Rich countries contribute an average of $14,000 per year for a toddler’s care, compared with $500 in the U.S. The Democrats’ spending bill tries to shrink the gap.

Why take away the right to choose? Freedom matters.

still cannot figure why women just don't take the pill......obviously this is not the total solution to the need for an abortion as some women cannot use the pill due to physical reasons but looks like it would eliminate part of the problem......in addition why have sex if you do not want a pregnancy......

 

[WIGDViking]

I voted yes.

I did as well however I am not pro abortion, I would prefer that. Abortions be kept to a bare minimum through planed parenthood etc…

However I do not have the proper plumbing to tell any woman what to do with her body, so I’m in no position to interfere with a woman’s choice…

Because it’s fun!!!

We're funny that way. We think a baby's parents should take care of them, not the government.

 

[Middleground]

What I wonder is who pays for the pregnancy and birth? If you're going to force a woman to carry to term, who pays her medical?

 

[Middleground]

We're funny that way. We think a baby's parents should take care of them, not the government.

And what if they can't afford them? You're pretty funny thinking that this issue is so cut and dry. It is not.

 

[Blue Dog]

I’m “pro-life”, but not anti-choice.

Period

Have a nice day.

We're not supposed to care. Just have the kid, and shut up.

Can you explain that?

A fetus is always a fetus. A child is never a fetus.

I voted yes. I will just note that the MS law being ruled on by the Supreme Court actually leaves abortion legal "in all or most cases".

 

[Blue Dog]

Can you explain that?

I prefer women not terminate their pregnancies, but would not support a law denying them the right.

That's a pro-choice position, not a pro-life one.

 

[Old 'N Chill]

YES! It's nobody's business but the woman involved and her doctor.
