I know the point you are trying to make.
If you have an unwanted pregnancy your life will be hard, at least for a time. I have seen that suffering and it isn't easy to see. And maybe you have too. But aborting a child for that reason is a great injustice. Both those on the left and right sense that, and that's why there is discomfort.
I think that discomfort is a warning sign. How is it good for any society to promote or legalize injustice, even on the basis that it makes peoples lives easier in the short term?
A lot of peoples lives were wrecked when they lost their slaves during the Civil War. I imagine some starved. Does that mean we should have continued to allow slavery, so some peoples lives would be easier?

What I believe in is the right for a person to make that choice
Bless your heart but there is no difference. You are either for the unborn child whether it be yours or someone else or you are not. Not much difference in I am against slavery but everyone has a right to own one.....Morales is not something you can pick or choose. Again I ask, did your mother make the right choice and if she had made a different choice then your beautiful and wonderful children would have never been born and that my dear, would have been very, very sad for us all.......

After thinking about it, I figured that's what you meant.
This brings up an interesting issue. Hollyweired incorrectly thinks that there are no repercussions for bad choices. Oh yes, they DO have a choice! Unfortunately, they most often choose to make the wrong choice, and then when we tell them we're critical of them and that we're not going to buy their movies and such, they get offended and cry foul!
As you've correctly noted, they have the right to choose, but they don't comprehend the responsibility and repercussions of wrong choices.
It's a leftist trait to want power without responsibility. I see no greater illustration of this than the murder of our unborn.

Actually, from what I recall of the Winston Groom novels Forrest Gump was akin to an Idiot savant.
The Carter family-on the other hand-is filled with people who are just plain idiots.

No. I do not believe government on any kind should stick their nose in personal business. IMPO, abortion should not be allowed after the first trimester.
Then who stops it if not government??

Good points. I agree, I do think it will remain legal, permanently, because there isn't the political will to make it completely illegal. I DO agree with your point that the vast majority wants to keep it legal for rape, incest, life of the mother and birth defects. But I think there are more people who would either not mind or not mind too much if abortion just for the desire to abort were curtailed. I think the reasons to abort I mention above apply to something like 5% of abortions.

The Carter House sits underneath a hole in the ozone layer.
Sort of like their own private Idaho.

Jimmy Carter's Son: "I'm pro-choice as far as a woman choosing, but I'm against abortion" While I'm personally against lynching, if it works for Sheets Byrd....

Maybe this guy needs to learn the meaning of courage of convictions. As opposed to being a wuss.

No. I do not believe government on any kind should stick their nose in personal business.The problem is....someone has to define "personal business".
If you say "business that doesn't effect some other person"....
Then we have to define "some other person".
At one point "negros" were less than persons. Jews have been "less than persons". Fetuses are less than persons.....(for now......)

Your argument holds no merit with me.
Slavery vs abortion??????? Please, come up with something better.
Yes, not only did my mother & I make the right choice, so did all my ancestors. But, if she had made the wrong decision then how would I know about the loss of my children?

The government does not have the right to interfere with personal decisions.

Can the government interfere one minute after the baby is born should the parents decide they want to kill the baby?
If they can , then why can't they intervene one minute before the baby is born?
You're not making any sense here MoM.
Why is is wrong to kill a baby that is partially delivered and near full term?
