I have no problem if babies are killed in the first trimester. The next day however, in the second trimester, magic occurs and they should not be aborted. Or was that the third trimester?
Abortion is even a good solution for people who are having responsible sex.
Babies are not very human anyway. They cant even eat real food.
Mothers should have their babies killed by professionals so it is 100% completely safe for everyone involved.
Children can make too much noise when they are laughing; they should have been aborted when their mothers had the chance.
Fathers and babies dont deserve rights. Mothers also vote, and are therefore entitled to the exclusive authority to kill other humans at will.
Babies should be killed in the privacy of a public clinic.
A baby is unwanted by everyone if the mother feels it is unwanted.
I tell everyone know that I practice compassion for the less fortunate: so I want to help you rid your womb of that annoying pest.
As long as babies are killed humanely before the parts are sucked out, Im OK with it.
My job is more important than some baby interfering with my life.
Abortion is the greatest act of selfishness? So What? SOMETHING has to be the greatest act of selfishness.
Whatever you do, dont let me see the results of the procedure, I might get sick and have awful flashbacks for the rest of my life.
Im outraged that they kill cute dogs and cats at the pound. Dogs and cats are almost like people.
Im not going to let some perfectly anonymous stranger adopt my baby.
The baby we aborted 5 years ago would be in kindergarten this year. Ill bet he would have been the smartest child in class, too. And the most handsome. My brother would have given him a full sized fielders glove for his birthday, and he would have loved it so much he would have worn it to bed for a week. Oh well, he would have spilled his cereal milk this morning at the breakfast table, and who can put up with that huge mess?
Sounds like a guilt trip to me !
I read one story here on FR about a Walmart employee contacting authorities over a 1 hr photo developed that showed a hunter who shot his animal using bait. Would this employee call anyone after seeing photos of a legal abortion?
Ok, then I read the article about the animal control officer who fed live puppies to a python snake.
Charges filed against the hunter because of the photo with his confession. No charges filed against the live puppy feeding because all that they had was a confession.
Sen. Rick Santorum (R., Pa.) "The senator from Wisconsin says that this decision should be left up to the mother and the doctor, as if there is absolutely no limit that could be placed on what decision that they make... My question is this: that if that baby were delivered breech style and everything was delivered except for the head, and for some reason that the baby's head would slip out--that the baby was completely delivered--would it then still be up to the doctor and the mother to decide whether to kill that baby?" Feingold: "...the standard of saying it has to be a determination, by a doctor, of health of the mother, is a sufficient standard that would apply to that situation. And that would be an adequate standard." Santorum: "That doesn't answer the question. Let's assume... the head is accidentally delivered. Would you allow the doctor to kill the baby?" Feingold: "... That is a question that should be answered by a doctor, and by the woman who receives the advice from the doctor."
There was also this exchange with Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D., N.J.): Santorum: "If the baby was delivered accidentally--the head slipped out--would you allow the doctor to kill the baby?" Lautenberg: "I am not making the decision. If that is..." Santorum: "But that's what we are doing here, Senator; we are making decisions." Lautenberg: "You are making decisions that say a doctor doesn't have..." Santorum: "So two inches make the difference as to whether you'll answer that question?" Lautenberg: "No, what makes the difference is someone who has the knowledge and intelligence and experience making the decision..."
That is clear enough: neither Feingold nor Lautenberg would say "no" to treating the killing of a newborn baby as a mere "choice." The point of contention has become, as abortion opponents have long warned that it would, not whether legally protectable life begins at conception but whether legally protectable life begins at birth. So, who are the extremists?

These are just examples of selfish thought. Anybody with any respect for life would not think this way.
