Women have always had that choice and they make it when they decide to have sex with some man. What they want is second choices.
Glad to hear it... I hope it was agonizingly painful.
Roast in peace, murderer.
Most fertilized ova never implant; of those that do, about a third to a half fail to grow. Only 10-15% of fertilized ova are capable of growing into a full-term baby.
This is one reason I don’t like using fertilization as a marker of the “beginning” of life. The fact that there is nothing unalive at any point is another: living human ovum+living human sperm=living human zygote (even if it dies within hours).
Implantation, to my mind, is a logical time to extend the full protection afforded to born human beings to the unborn human.
A woman who wants to avoid pregnancy has a number of options that prevent fertilization and implantation. There is absolutely no excuse for not using those options.
Re: “...because abortions aren’t performed on people who are not pregnant.”
That is not quite true. I’ve heard that abortion mills sometimes lie to prospective clients about the results of pregnancy tests, so as to get them to undergo the procedure anyway. It’s all about the money.
How brave does one have to be to kill unborn babies?
An abortion can't be performed on a person who is not pregnant, whether a clinic pretends to do it or not. Like a mechanic charging a person for changing the turn signal fluid; it doesn't exist, charges or not.
I’m sure there are homeless alcoholics in Sarasota who would enjoy a free twelve-pack...provided they lift a leg on his grave.
