Justice for All, Stay out of my Uterus (Baby Killer Barf Alert)

Now, self-proclaimed "pro-lifers" reading this column may venture to dub me a hypocrite, as I am opposed to war and the death penalty, yet I support abortion.

Life for the guilty, death for the innocent. Seems consistent to me......

[MortMan]

Zoe needs to keep her knees together if she wants everybody to stay out of her uterus.

"Life for the guilty, death for the innocent. Seems consistent to me......"

And rights for animals, but not for people who haven't passed through the birth canal yet. Got it.

There's a fairly sizable group of posters on FreeRepublic who echo this line. It isn't restricted to the lunatic leftists. Rather, it is shared by the socially irresponsible of various political persuasions.

Yes, there are a few crazy FReepers who talk about freedom on Free Republic! They don't slip anything by you. Thanks for pointing this out.

fetus at 6 weeks. About the time most women confirm that they are pregnant. With eyes, brain heart, fingers, etc. (just a mass of cells)

Fetus at 14 weeks. First trimester cutoff. Nothing human like about this. Just a mass of cells the size of a kumquat, with no nerve endings, or a potentially viable fetus.

[sanemom]

Yeah, freedom for all as long as they've made it out of the uterus alive.

[sanemom]

How dare you make us look at pictures of fetuses! We have a constitutional right to believe they're just kumquats!

[Niteranger68]

And rights for animals, but not for people who haven't passed through the birth canal yet. Got it.

I'm still waiting for the pro-abortion crowd to show me just one person who can say, "I was aborted and I turned out just fine". Or, "As I pro-abortion supporter, I only wish my parents would have had the right to abort me".

[Blood of Tyrants]

The article just oozes hatred for anything or anyone that would threaten one once of control. The unborn are no less despised.

[Anita1]

These kinds of people never have a child - or only have a limited (chosen by themselves) number of children...

And they (their offspring) - no doubt - will be indoctrinated to beleive (falsely)that the "fetus" is just a mass of tissue as her article says!

The writer obviously does not know that the heart beats at 3 weeks and the brainwaves at 6 weeks!

What ever happend to true science being taught in schools? The development of All creatures - human beings and animals!

I remember studying that in high school - don't they do that anymore?!!

"Embryo is the size of a raisin. By day twenty-one, the embryo's tiny heart has begun beating."

[Niteranger68]

I pity the child who has to call her mommy.

Dead children don't speak.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I stand behind abortion rights because I believe that no one can serve as a better governing body over an individual than that person.

But lets nt go so far as to think that the "blob of tissue" is a human being with rights, too.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now, self-proclaimed "pro-lifers" reading this column may venture to dub me a hypocrite, as I am opposed to war and the death penalty, yet I support abortion.

Let me see: kill the innocent and spare the guilty. Nope, I can't see anything hypocritical at all.

Another angry lesbian trying to take it out on everone else, especially babies.

[TMD]

Wasn't it Ronald Reagan who said "Isn't it funny how everyone who is for abortion has already been born?"

[Anita1]

The following are beautiful pictures of the unborn babies (fetuses) that she wants to have the freedom to abort!

I think it was Cynthia McKinney, the infamous congresscritter, that shouted out at a pro-abortion rally that she was there because "My mother didn't have the right to an abortion"! True insanity.

From the article:

If you cut off my reproductive choice, can I cut off yours?

Isn't that the whole point? If women chose not to copulate (and I fully understand the existence of rape - I'm talking about casual, consensual sex), then the vast majority of abortions would not occur.

[Lesforlife]

Beautiful, miraculous and totally lost on the selfish feminist radicals.

Having spent several hours on Auraria's neat campus last week
observing the superlative Justice for All display, I actually came
away encouraged. The truth couldn't be presented in a more
effective way. The comparisons between abortion and other horrible social injustices in the world are numbing.

I saw the healthiest display of genuine dialogue observed in a long while.

I think this Metropolitan author will receive many rebuttals to her rant.

Does anyone out there in cyberspace know of one kid named "Zoe" who's worth a hoot?

My sister has a lovely cat named Zoe. There is also a St Zoe, a Christian martyr from the second century. That's about it :-)

I stand behind abortion rights because I believe that no one can serve as a better governing body over an individual than that person.

Then she wouldn't have any objection to ending all state funding for this practice. If, after all, it's a 'private, individual decision,' then why should the rest of us have to pay for it? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Then there's this question for little Missy Hissy Fit: "What, exactly, is indide a woman's body before she gives birth?"
