they do at 10 weeks…i am a convert to the pro-life movement after hearing it myself…i was astounded. growing up a brain washed liberal in NY, I had a lot of the same attitudes expressed here by you “liberals”. nSo Kudos to science, the torch of the left, for proving when life really begins, now its time to stand by your scientific honesty and help curb or stop abortions and give up the phoney rhetoric.

then why do they fight so vociferously against the inclusion of abstinence in birth control classes? It is 100% effective against pregnancy. because they are big hypocrites just the right wingers.

in muslim countries, women are considered chattel and may be killed the same way. and you know what, as soon as you grow a penis and bow to mecca then you get a say what happens to the women in your family.

isn’t that the whole point the person being mocked by Jon Stewart was making…or every other pro-lifer…you do not have the right to decide to extinguish the life of an unborn baby. they are an unprotected class of citizen that deserves to be protected. I think those of us that are more centrist can certainly agree on some more reasonable guidelines than un-restricted abortions. If any of you has never had the opportunity, please take a moment and go to a local ob-gyn and listen in to a ten-WEEK old fetus’s heartbeat and then tell me its not alive. Could you pull the trigger? if its not life, it’s no big deal right? go ahead and flush…. the same technique is used in slavery, war and abortion…dehumanize the subject and then its not a problem to abuse or kill and we can sleep better at night. For you women out there, isn’t that the same thing that goes on in muslim countires? women are lesser and may be killed by the man?

Seems to me some people just want what they want. There is a lot of denial for personal accountability going on in this country. Who spread their legs? How many married couples abort their children? Oh, but that is right, people get to do whatever they want, have sex with whomever they want, and then not have to answer to the natural consequence of their action? Just as there is a consequence for sex – a baby, there will be consequences for murdering the unborn. But, back to my beginning – denial of personal accountability…murder is o.k. because it’s “legal”. You just keep telling yourself that.

Easier access to birth control? Is it difficult to get birth control in this country now? There have been plenty of parents, single or not, who have raised their children while paying for their child care as well. I agree with you that maybe their should be certain types of help made available to single mothers, as long as they are trying to help themselves. However, with or without subsidized child care, there is still no excuse for killing your baby. If nothing else there is always the adoption option. I know it could be heartbreaking (to those mothers who actually have a conscience) to give up your newborn child, but at least that child is getting a chance at life. There are many infertile parents who would love to raise a child.

Their own beliefs? Do you believe it’s fine and dandy to commit murder? What is wrong with the basic decent common sense belief in protecting innocent lives?

Would you want the state or the federal government creating a law that says it’s ok to commit murder? Oh wait, they already have. According to the libs murder is ok as long as the victims are completely innocent helpless babies. There’s no difference between that and someone killing a toddler on the street. Women say who are you to say what I can or can’t do with MY body. This argument makes me want to vomit. To these same women I ask, who are you to decide that your baby should die?

White, black, yellow, brown, or puke green; we all have the ability to lift up ourselves no matter what the color of our skin. Plus, of course the majority of welfare recipients are white more than black, because there are overwhelmingly more white people in this country than black. If you want to get into facts and race, well here are some facts. White population on welfare 5.27%nBlack population on welfare 27.78%nHispanic population on welfare 11.47%nnIn case you are easily confused(which most libs are), those are the percentages of each respective race on welfare, based on 2006 total population. I know it hasn’t changed in a dramatic way since then.

Matthew, I want to give you a t-shirt that says something like, “Lots of people’s slave taxes paid for my ejakashun, but all I learned was to be A ignerunt jerk!”

How many times have we seen welfare families stereotyped as black single moms with several kids (though statistics show the majority of welfare recipients are white)?nnHow many times have we seen this stereotype used to reduce or eliminate welfare funding by whipping up outrage in white, conservative voters?nnAnd for the umpteenth time, where does the love and financial support go once the child is born and needs food, shelter, clothing and a quality education? That conservative (and often Christian) compassion and generosity are most often long gone by then.nn(Not quite nuff said ;-))

It’s even more wonderful how conservatives trivialize the rights of everyone else to follow medical facts & their own beliefs, rather than the emotional/religious strictures of one narrow group.

I completely understand your point. The kicker is liberals have been advocating for easier access to birth control and subsidized child care to prevent abortions but the pro life groups don’t support such policies or anything else to make life easier for parents, ie paid maternal/parental leave as in other industrialized countries. The middle ground on this issue is to prevent the need for abortions – besides abstinence.

Why does the left wing always bring up race. No matter what subject is being discussed, race is always thrown at the right. Let me guess, its the rich right wingers that are responsible for the black population for having children born into a household with one parent, 70% of the time. Give me a break. Lets stop making excuses for people. Next your going to tell me the tea party people are racsist. Whenever the left argues, this is their favorite thing to do, inject race. There is a reward out for anyone who can show racism within the tea party. This has been out there for over 10 months. The reward is 100,000 dollars. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN CLAIMED YET! The subject was babies, not black babies or white babies. Once again,the left has shown its true colors. A life is a life no matter what color.

Yeah so just kill your child. Does the child get a say in the matter? I’m sure your baby wouldn’t want you to be inconvienienced. I can’t give birth because it’s physically impossible. However I can speak my mind and stand up for the rights of defenseless babies. Plus, (imagine this), I TAKE CARE OF MY CHILDREN. So even though I can’t give birth to a child, I can take responsibility for that child.

As soon as you give birth benito then you get a say as to what happens in my or any other womans womb.
