craigfarmer said:OUR TREATMENT OF SPONTANEOUS ABORTIONS PROVE WE'RE ALL PRO-CHOICE
information about: Spontaneous Abortions (miscarriages)
"It is estimated that up to 50% of all fertilized eggs die and are lost (aborted) spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant."
This FACT should mobilize all "pro-life" people into action. But it won't. That's because except for a few extremists, we're all pro-choice. Millions of Americans go to work each day, even as over 10,000 "babies" are killed in our country. What's more than that, a woman's own body is the culprit more often than not.
Now, if you really believe that each fertilized egg is a human being deserving of constitutional protection, then you better get moving.
Imagine if up to 50% of 2 year olds, or 20 year olds die "spontaneously". Would we ignore them too. Would we ignore their name; forget about their life?
I would imagine we'd institute a "war on that disease" approach, and focus our resources.
The reality is an embryo is not a human being. It is human life tissue that could potentially become a human being under the best circumstances.
For us to be seriously pro-life, we would monitor women monthly or even weekly to check for conception. Next, we'd proscribe specific healthcare to maximize the chance of a successful pregnancy. In addition, we'd name the child at conception, give them a social security number, and offer them the equal protection of all our laws.Also, we would have a funeral once we found out about their demise. Sure all of this would render women 2nd class citizens, but that's the opportunity cost.
All pro-life people should remember the 100's millions of natural abortions, when you complain about the 40 million chosen by women.

making the word "liberal" safe again!
As a pro-choice supporter, I'm disappointed that you've put forward such a lame and pitiful argument. Unfortunately, it's ridiculous arguments like this one that get 'liberal' pro-choice supporters a bad name. There is a massive difference between an embryo dying naturally and an abortion (although that's not to say abortion is murder.)
