I aim to please, milady.
The law technically does give her discretion through the whole pregnancy and that, I cannot agree with. I have posted many times the scientific evidence indicating that the fetus has no awareness, cognition, salience, nor sentience before the 21st week of pregnancy. We can reference those other threads if you like, but I am sure you remember them.
At such a time as the fetus can show the mental capabilities of a human being (baby), then it is has a definitive right to life like any other human. The mother's wishes are no longer all important because her rights end where the new life's begins. Position internal or external of the womb has NEVER been a consideration of mine on this issue.
Assume for a moment that homosexuality is indeed genetic.
Assume for a moment that an unborn child is known to have that gene
Assume for a moment that the parents do not want to take the chance that their child will be a homosexual
It that sufficient reason to abort the unborn baby?
Someone please add a Yes/No poll
That's wonderful! Yes, Christmas is grand!
Now what about Jerry's point that if the right to life can be granted by Mom--it's not really an inalienable thing is it. What about the rammifications of that?
Also--what is the definative point, in your opinion, that can be measured accurately so as not to accidentally usurp any person's rights?
Lastly--would you vote according to that perception? Making abortion past that point illegal and doctors performing them criminals?
Excellent question..........Pro Choice/Abortion people believe that the woman should have the right to abort for any reason......If that is the case then they have to believe its ok to abort a gay baby..........Its her choice.........
You know...Navy....I agree with you.
The choice to terminate a pregnacy is and should always be with the woman carrying the fetus.
I believe that abortion is generally the wrong choice, but it is not my choice to make.
I also believe that there are situations where abortion is more justifiable than others, for example, rape, incest, medical issues, severe emotional/psychological/financial hardship.
I believe that as you often say Navy, a woman shouldn't choose to have an abortion because they are "having a bad hair day". In other words, there are reasons that justify an abortion more than others. Aborting a fetus because you know that when it is born as a child the child will be gay or female or brown eyed, etc.....is more disturbing to me than a woman who makes the decision because she was using birth control and it failed and she cannot afford to raise a child.
But ultimately.....it is the choice of the person who bears the burden of carrying the child and if they make that decision it is theirs to make regardless if we agree with the reason that they make it.[/QUOTE]
So you don't have a problem with a woman having and abortion because her baby has a gay gene?

Do I have a problem with it? Sure I do....I think that it is not a legitimate reason to have an abortion (believe it or not Navy, most pro-choice people are for the most part against abortion)....but its her choice and I cannot make the decision for her. I may disagree with her justification but I would support her decision.
Really? I find that very hard to believe...... I think it has something to do with them supporting it.

Spook:
What I am saying is that most people I know who are pro-choice, and I know a lot because I have worked for over 20 years with people on this issue, the vast majority of them do not believe that abortion should be used as a form of birth control. Most are very religious people who believe that a pregnant woman should explore all options before deciding to terminate a pregnacy by abortion. There are other pro-choicers who support abortion for any reason.
However, the one common thread to all pro-choice people is that we believe the decision is between the woman and her own spirituality and should not be anyone elses.
Believe it or not it is true. I Am pro-choice but I also do not agree with abortions. What I do agree with is for women to have a choice on what to do with their own bodies despite my own personal beliefs.

Its and inconvenience my friend.........Who cares if the baby is slaughtered? Surely not the left...........:roll:
Is it ok to abort a gay baby?
Have we found a way to a determine a baby's sexual orientation while still inside the womb? :|
Thats like asking
"Is it ok to abort fetuses with the possibility of becoming serial killers?"
It's a question bordering on ridiculous.

That is becauseyou have no feelings or compassion for the innocent defenseless baby in the womb.........
Actually it's because I don't force my own opinions and beliefs onto those that don't share them.

You and your liberal friends are forcing them on me...........One more judge is all we need on the SCOTUS then butchery in the womb will be stopped unless the mothers life is endangered............It will be a sad day for you pro abortion people.........
That's good. And if you see a father beating his kid, please don't force your opinions and beliefs onto him. He probably doesn't share them, and you don't want to be intrusive.
See....thats the problem with fanatics like you Navy. Do you really believe for a minute that stacking the court with activist judges is going to stop abortion? You live in a fantasy world.
