Please read my post right below yours.

We can’t lose our common sense here.

I’d settle for banning partial birth abortion and believe the public is with us on this.

And if all else fails, how about that thing “for the health of the mother”. Sheesh, I was a pretty young thing when Roe versus Wade became law but I was around before and it was small matter to get some medico to declare an abortion required for the health of the mother. Even if it was for the mother’s mental health, some doctor or another would sign the paper. It’s why the libs always stick this language in any law about abortion.

First trimester abortion will never be stopped in this country, or should it frankly.

Instead of arguing the impossible it is far better to try to do something that WILL work.

Here in my neck of the woods there’s a non-profit agency that will help young woman have their babies instead of aborting it. This has been very sucessful and has saved many unborn babies’ lives.

Making abortion illegal will save very few unborn lives and might do more damage than it will ever repair.

That is ridiculous!

95% of all abortions performed in the US today are carried out by the woman's choice and based on issues of social stigma. IOW, most abortions are carried out as a birth control measure.

Only 5% of all abortions performed in the US today have anything to do with issues related to the health or life of the mother, or regarding cases of rape and incest.

“Making abortion illegal will save very few unborn lives and might do more damage than it will ever repair.”I don’t understand your point.I might say I find it pretty sad that any candidate can not support this part of the GOP platform.Why the hell are they running.Wasting my time I can tell you.”We must keep our pledge to the first guarantee of the Declaration of Independence. That is why we say the unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We support a human life amendment to the Constitution and we endorse legislation to make it clear that the 14th Amendment’s protections apply to unborn children. Our purpose is to have legislative and judicial protection of that right against those who perform abortions.”
