It is killing of an unborn but LIVE human being. I don't want to see abortion become illegal. What I do want to see is have it restricted. First trimester only. Parent notification. Alternatives and negative side effects explained in great detail. And have it all paid for privately (the woman, family, charities, NOW, or who ever wants to help them). I don't think government funds should be used at all.

If it is a LIVE human being, how does restrictions ease your mind? It is still murder, just during the first trimester. How are you comfortable with that? If it is ALIVE (and it is) how is murder justified based on who's money is used?

I believe you are way off base.

It doesn't ease my mind. What it doesn't do is eliminate one extreme for the other, as you would have it. You obviously don't understand human nature. If you did you'd realize banning it completely won't get rid of it. It will just push it underground. There is a compromise to limit it and make people think about their actions instead of draconian measures to make it illegal in every case and in every situation. And if you read the last part of my prior post, you'd know that I stated that people of the states should make the decision by either putting it on the ballot or by lobbying their state representatives to formulate state law governing abortion instead of having the Federal Gov, especially the SCOTUS deciding legislation. That way it will be the end of the debate. If people in one state vote to keep it legal, then fine. If another state votes to ban it, then fine. But, once and for all the people will have spoken.

I accept the fact that you think I am way off base. At the same time, you are way off base to think that abortion will ever become compeletly illegal across the country.

I'll even add that I'd prefer the abortion pill, assuming it was safe which it is not, over typical abortions performed today. Why, you ask? Because it puts the abortion clinics out of business and completely wipes out the radical pro abortion woman's groups. It puts the onus on the person to make that decision to take that pill.

I live in a world where I accept things as they are, not how they should be. Thus, I figure out what would work than trying to create a utopia that will never exist. Abolishing abortion outright will never happen. Putting limits on it to make people act more repsonsibily can happen.

You can try all you want to try to get the toothpaste back in the tube. Good luck.
