I’ve been kicking around and idea…that pro abortion side augers that a women has the right to end a pregnancy and any time because…it her body that chose to ignored there killing another human being in the process… and the reality they do not want the reasonability of a child…


…. The pro life side contends that because is a another human being the women has no right to end a pregnancy unless it’s a thread to her life

What if a compromise was proposed… that women may end a pregnancy at any time (I.E. a woman may have a child removed from her body at any time) However the child MAY NOT be deliberately killed …. The child may only remove intact and given a chance at viability/ life… this would mean c session or true induced labor birth (not partial birth or saline induced labor to kill the child…..

I am pro life because I do not believe you have the right to kill another… but we are not winning…. The realty is the other side is using the “right to control your own body” argument to cover “killing for convenience” reality

Let’s split the pro abortion side argument to expose the “killing for convenience” reality

I think you are too pessimistic about the pro-life forces. There has been a slow steady swing to greater power and influence in elections. I think ultra-sound pictures and earlier and earlier viability made the position that the unborn was not a life less and less tenable. Keep the faith, the truth will win in the end.

"I think you could say that we're at our strongest since Roe v. Wade," she said, reflecting on the movement's growth and influence since the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.

For three decades, anti-abortion groups have been pounding away at legal abortion through legislation, legal challenges, civil disobedience - and some, through intimidation that has included murder, kidnapping and arson.

In the past 15 years, anti-abortion advocates have made substantial inroads. The number of hospitals performing abortions has fallen to 600 in 2000 from 1,000 in 1990, according to a study released this year by a physicians' group and the Washington-based Alan Guttmacher Institute.

Additionally, more and more abortion clinics close annually as - pressured by anti-abortion activists - they find operating just too difficult. Meanwhile, many states have enacted legislation that restricts women's ability to get an abortion.

"I would agree that although we still have the fundamental protection by Roe, access for women has been continually eroded over the last 10 years," said Lois Backus, executive director of Medical Students for Choice, an organization of 7,000 medical students and residents on 105 campuses in the United States and Canada.
