The only absolute right that liberals believe in is the absolute right of a woman to murder her unborn.

NARAL Opposes Bill Banning Abortions After 20 Weeks Nationwide
***Of course they do. And of course, we oppose them. From my home page:

___________________________________________________________________
I’ve posted this in a couple of places and it doesn’t seem to get much more than a yawn, even though it’s kinda-sorta an incremental approach.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1908148/posts?page=125#125

I believe a fetus is a human being who deserves protection under the law from being killed.
***I do too. That fetus deserves protection extended by the state.

I do wonder if it is biblical to extend “full” protection to a fetus? I.e. when a man hurts a pregnant woman, he’s expected to pay an eye for an eye & a tooth for a tooth. But if the unborn baby is killed, the price is not the same.

Perhaps it is time to consider a 3 (or even 4) tiered system of protection.

Tier 1: Living, viable, late term baby which will not be aborted unless the life of the mother is at stake.

Tier 2: Living, not-yet-viable pre-born human who should have the right to protection and life and a safe womb to which it can attain viability. Cannot be aborted unless there is an open rape case associated with the pregnancy or the life of the mother is at stake.

Tier 3: Living, early stage, not yet viable pre-born human for whom we do not extend the rights of life in this society because of a historical snag where we once considered such tissue not to be a baby. We as a society thought it was best to consider it a private decision. I personally do not believe in Tier3 abortions, but I can understand that there are many who think it is a “right to choose” at this stage. It may be time to consider a program where the woman declares her pregnancy and intent to abort. Our societal function at this point would be to provide a family that is willing to adopt this baby and to put up this woman for 6-8 months in a safe environment so the baby can grow and maybe the woman can learn some life skills. If our society cannot muster the forces necessary to save this baby, the woman has the sickening “right” to abort this pregnancy. Time for us to put up or shut up.

With a 3-tiered plan in place, women would stop using abortion as a means of birth control. Millions of lives would be saved. We would extend the right to life to every human that we have resources to save. Unfortunately, if we cannot put up the resources to save the Tier3 babies, we still would have this horrible practice staining our nation’s soul.

A serious question here.

Why does it take a woman 20 weeks to decide she wants an abortion?

Why can’t she make up her mind in 3 months?

Just FYI, despite the incoming “it’s a state rights issue” crowd, I will refer such posters to the 14th Amendment and section 5 of said Amendment which gives Congress the authority to effectuate the purposes of the Amendment.

A right that does not exist and is never even mentioned one time in the Constitution. A right created by the inference of another right that does not exist in the Constitution. The right to privacy.

A right that goes against the natural law of rights because it infringes on the God given right to life of another human being.

There are just too many methods available now to know whether or not you are pregnant in a very, very short time. Even three months is too long. If a woman doesn’t want to have children or a guy wants to fool around but never intends to accept the responsibility for a family why don’t they just get something permanent done, like a tubal ligation or vasectomy. I would not even mind having insurance cover those procedures. Much better to do that than to pay for the killing of babies.

I think a lot of people enjoy killing babies because they’re too small to fight back.

It all has to do with fetal testing and the fact that so many women are in uncommitted relationships.

Often times a test with show a fetal abnormality: A cleft lip, a club foot, or an amniocentises will show a high probability of Down’s Syndrome or some other genetic disorder. Instead of allowing the child to be born and taken care of medically. Many people opt for the incredibly selfish approach that if they can’t have a perfect baby, it is better to kill them now. this is just the greedy self centered World in which we live.

In the other cases, many of these women/girls have gotten ‘knocked up’ by a non committed boy friend who decided to leave the relationship only months or weeks after he was told about the child. The child is no longer a means to hold on to the boyfriend, so it becomes disposable. AND if I can’t take care of this child, why should I allow anyone else to care for it.

People are incredibly selfish and evil and our evil throw away society feeds into that. We also have a President and entire national party that not only tolerates abortion, but celebrates it.

Yes and no.

It is their absolute right to make money on the murder of her unborn baby at any time in the pregnancy. That is what the fuss is about.

I thought they developed a new test for downs syndrome that tested even sooner? I am almost sure because it raised a stink in the pro life world because they said it would lead to a “cure” for downs syndrome when there is no cure only parents aborting the pregnancy.

Abortion is close to being aborted.

They sure don’t like it when their livelihood is about to be aborted.

If we can get every single abortionist investigated, we will see that ALL of them, ALL of them, are like Gosnell. To one degree or another. Gosnell and this new gal are proving scum settles into abortionist positions, and that THEY ARE THE NORM. Not the exception at all.

They are as RARE as abortions are when pro-aborts talk about wanting abortion to be rare (over 1 million a year).

First....it’s not a fetus. The “fetus” is an unborn child. Until we can establish that fact and quit hiding behind nice sounding scientific terms we’re not going to get anywhere with this genocide against the unborn child.

Take out the word abort and substitute murder.....puts a more accurate description of what’s happening.

Until we call “abortion” what it really is...MURDER....this battle for these unborn people will continue to drag on.

I think your conclusion about women not using the murder of the unborn child as birth control is incorrect. Aren’t the majority of these murders committed within the first 6-8 weeks of a pregnancy?

Good God... can’t these “women” who insist on having a dead baby just download a pic of one from the internet as the next “best” thing?

Damned feminazis make me puke.
