Abortion is one of those issues that is driven by emotion and therefore can’t be solved, without people of courage and wisdom addressing it. I would like to see rational position statements from all candidates posted and discussed here.
There are legitimate prenatal medical issues that must be decided (within guidelines) by the medical facility and attending physicians and the patient. Any attempt to dictate or control these decisions will result in what we fear in the current health care proposals as well as decisions like those commonly seen under “zero tolerance” laws/policies.
The other issue is the use of abortion as a means of birth control. Each candidate should be asked their position on this as well as how they would avoid interference with the legitimate medical issues. Oh yes, each candidate should be required to answer this question “what is the difference in “partial birth abortion” and a teenager throwing a living/ dead fetus into the trash. The only difference I see is that the government demands the right to make the decision.
On a personal note, the daughter of a friend discovered, late in her pregnacy, that she had cancer. Her decision (with consultation with her doctor and family) was to delay treatment (since then I have read of successful pregancie with treatment). Sadly she died but my friend has a healthy granddaughter. I saw the heartbreak of this decision, I DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED IN IT.
Be nice if this forum could discuss these issues and knock off the personnel attacks... rule 13 is for THEIR side.
FR is pro-Life. THAT is not debatable! Period!
If you want to push abortion you can do it somewhere else!! (also not debatable)
What drivel.
"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning." ... Ronald Reagan
Okay, let's take abortion off the table with regard to this article and your guy Mitt. He is still Unfit For Command because he's a LIAR. Regardless of his position on abortion he is not authentic, conservative or truthful.
Btw, when were you appointed FR hall monitor?
What does this look like? Garbage or a human? Get a clue. Abortion is murder.
The argument against abortion is the easiest to win against a liberal POS like yourself. I am surrounded by young liberals who think aborting is a right. I have never, NEVER, lost an argument about this with the aforementioned group. The fact that it is still obtainable is horrendous. There is no argument on your behalf.
Abortion is murder.
