Bush disagrees with South Dakota abortion ban

[Theodore R.]

Also, there is a former Republican congressman from IA named Jim Ross Lightfoot who was conceived in a rape and freely discusses this.

Do you care about anyone's feelings or life except that of unborn children?

Only the unborn child cannot speak for herself. Some zealot must step in to speak for her.

LOL!!!

EXACTLY!!

LOL!

GREAT MOVIE!

[TigersEye]

Because it wasn't free will. God gave us free will and any child born of this is not a child born of love. That child would be forever ostracized and never be loved the way he/she should be. The rape/incest victim should be made whole immediately by removing the spawn of evil. Rape/incest spawn are losing propositions.

Dr. Mengele? Is that you?

I have to admit that I really am shocked at how many people are spouting the feminazi, pro-abortion line on this subject. A reasonable debate can be had. But the following are NOT legitimate arguments:

"You have no right to speak on this. You're a MAN!" (How can a FREEPER lower themselves to such a pathetic argument? I'm a woman, so maybe they'll debate it with me...right)

"Wait until someone you care about is raped!" (Since when do we decide right and wrong based on how it effects us personally? And hey guess what, I've known more than one woman who was raped, two of whom became pregnant and gave birth. So maybe they'll debate it with me...right)

"Only a woman can decide if it is a life or not. If she says it is a life, then it can't be killed. If she says no, then kill it." (This could come straight from Planned Parenthood.)

Just telling you that it goes on.... Amazing isn't it?

I'm sure it does, and yes, it is amazing.

[eeevil conservative]

BRAVO!

Very well put....

shame isn't it....

With all the heat he's feeling over the ports, I just thought it might have been smarter not to reignite the "exceptions" argument.

Yes, I agree, but the problem is, he was asked in an interview.

[eeevil conservative]

huh? WOW... you put it much better than I did!

:-)

[Will_Zurmacht]

looking at this I think there about 4 camps on this particular issue

1. The "Morally Consistant".(detractors could call them extremist or zealots)
Abortion is wrong no matter what. An innocent baby should be allowed to live no matter what the circumstances.

2. The "Reasonable Exceptionist".(detractors could call them hypocrites or frauds)
Abortion is wrong, except in the extreme cases of Rape, Incest, or when the Mother's life is truly in danger.

3. The Calculators (detractors could call them opportunists)
Abortion is either wrong or right...depending on how it will afffect my parties position or my chances for re-election.

4. The Pro-Abortionist (detractors could call them baby-killers)
Abortion is perfectly fine, in fact, it's actually a good thing.

I see myself in camp 2, understanding fully well that I open myself up to charges of being a fraud on the issue. It's just where I am. I am at peace with it.

Others may find themselves somewhere else on this spectrum...

[Petronski]

Think of me after I've been banned.

;O|

[eeevil conservative]

I can't help but laugh....

I picture some very angry FReeping women pounding keys to no end,.... thinking if they could just change one mind to justify their stand.. it will somehoe ease the pain.....

I would cry it is so sad... but I have been there done that.... it is a personal battle within that I can do nothing about...

[TigersEye]

With all the heat he's feeling over the ports, I just thought it might have been smarter not to reignite the "exceptions" argument.

Do you think it's possible that it's no accident that he was asked this question just now and the press decided it was worth reporting...just now? I mean, after all, who can say when Dick Cheney will go hunting again?

[eeevil conservative]

LOL!

I will lobby on your behalf... someone had to say it....

[FreeReign]

Lets get a grip, rape is traumatic no doubt. But if you allow the rape to lead you to kill your baby then you have allowed the rapists to invade your soul and steal that part that separates us from them. We have the ability to have compassion and empathy for other humans, if we give that up in our quest to kill what was created in us then you will never heal from the rape.You have only succeeded in allowing it to alter your humanity.

Well said.

[cyborg]

You're so spirited petronski.

[eeevil conservative]

ditto

[Aussie Dasher]

WE shouldn't rule out that possibility!
