elvis-lives, since you think the government should not make abortion illegal (as it was throughout the history of our Republic until recently), then are you also opposed to the government prohibiting euthanasia? And if not, why not?

Our Constitution does not allow you to murder non-citizens.

Thanks for the ping Mom. Did you ping the Viking Kitties?

Well gee whiz. Why don’t we just repeal all our laws. Make murder legal and theft. Don’t want the government pushing someone’s morality on me. I can make my own decisions.

Your logic is severely flawed and you are too blind to see it. Don’t worry, I don’t think you will last too long around here with the pro choice position you take so you won’t have to argue with us ‘liberals’ much longer. Lol!

Then why have any laws at all? Why laws against murder, rape, torture, kidhapping? If laws against killing the unborn humans are “big government”, than it sounds as though you are an anarchist who wants no laws at all.

You mean you have no answers to refute us so why even try. If you think making abortion illegal is for liberals, you will find yourself very lonely on this site.

BTW, I would like to see you call Jim Robinson a liberal.

So now when people are trying to get you to answer some questions, you “have no time or stomach for liberals”.

If FR is such a liberal place, then why not go to a “conservative pro-abortion” site?

“Because the great majority of abortions occur during the first 12 weeks...”

Couple of questions:

How far has human life developed in that 12 weeks?

What kind of bodily intrusion is required to destroy what has developed?

You can’t even see that you are liberals with a different agenda.

Because you have failed in influencing society, you are demanding that Government step in and force people to behave as you demand.

Like I said. The primary objective should be to change hearts. You do that and abortion ends. If you don’t- there will always be abortion. That is the goal.

If you want to go the “change the law” route (the less effective route), then you have to change the Constitution to recognize a fetus as a human with complete rights. If you do that, all the laws are already in effect to protect the fetus same as any other person.

But demanding that gov’t force unwanted procedures (where this thread and discussion began), is just plain Marxist Socialist behavior- same thing a liberal would do.

Thing is- I’m sure you know it, but you rationalize away that liberalism on behalf of a noble goal is a good thing. I disagree.

“You demand that this sort of care be forced on a woman without her consent and you want to call it conservative-”

What is conservative - and honorable and right - is to defend the life of those that cannot defend themselves.

You may be in the wrong place.

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is the Declaration of Independence...” Which led to our Constitution.

Again - You may be in the wrong place.

The procedure is for up to 12 weeks. They already do a sonogram anyway to determine the length of the pregnancy. The procedure is VERY invasive.

From an abortion clinic website
http://www.floridaabortion.com/services_abortion/1st.shtml

LENGTH OF PREGNANCY
A sonogram is considered the most reliable method of assessing how far you are into your pregnancy. A sonogram is a test that uses sound waves to see your pelvic structures. It is not an X-ray and there is no radiation. A sonogram is done while you lie down comfortably. A gel solution is applied to your abdomen and an ultrasound wand is placed on your abdomen. There is little or no discomfort while the sonogram is being performed.

PROCEDURE

Before the anesthesia of choice is administered, the physician will perform an internal exam to determine the position of your uterus. This is done by inserting two fingers into your vagina and pressing down on your lower abdomen. Next, a speculum is placed inside the vagina to keep the vaginal walls apart. The physician will hold the cervix, the opening to the uterus, with an instrument called a tenaculum. The physician will then insert a series of narrow metal instruments, called dilators, into the cervix to open it slightly. The physician will then use a slender suction cannula to remove the pregnancy from the uterus.

The Constitution does not recognize a fetus as a citizen.

Citizenship has NOTHING to do with the inherent right to life.

If a fetus is not a person, what is it? Do you think there's some chance it might develop into a giraffe or a zebra?

You are confusing anti-abortion laws with pro-life. Like I said, anti-abortion laws will not stop abortions. Changing hearts will, but you seem not willing to put the time or effort into it. You’d rather get a law passed, pat yourself on the back and pretend you did something.

You don’t seerm to realize that you are acting like liberals with different priorities.

You are wrong in every point.

1. More people are becoming pro-life, especially among young people.

2. It is the government and government funded agencies who are promoting abortion. This Big Government promoting using tax money doesn’t seem to bother you at all.

3. Being pro-life is a basic conservative position.

4. Hating laws against abortion is a basic Leftist and Libertarian position.

So, you are a Leftist or a Libertarian (but I repeat myself).

You did not answer my quesion, so here it is again:

Then why have any laws at all? Why laws against murder, rape, torture, kidhapping? If laws against killing the unborn humans are “big government”, than it sounds as though you are an anarchist who wants no laws at all.

Like I said, anti-abortion laws will not stop abortions.

Laws against murder, rape and arson don't stop those crimes either, should we do away with them?

You don’t seerm to realize that you are acting like liberals with different priorities.

YOU are supporting abortion on a pro-life, conservative forum, that makes YOU a liberal.

Oh, and you are really wrong with this insane claim:

5. You claim that making abortion illegal will not stop abortions. It may not stop them 100%, but it will reduce the number to a tiny amount.

You really, really are on the wrong site.
