More selfish nonsense!! When will you learn that a newborn baby is a person unto him or herself with an individual soul, mind and heart? Babies are not created to make you happy or unhappy yet they come from God with the right to grow in the light and life from which they were sent. I'm so sick of hearing supposed adults care more about their own needs and wants when it comes to children than the life they have just created with their lustful body parts. If you don't want children or feel that it will cramp your lifestyle---keep it in your pants!

Yep, you're part of the reason why abortion will remain legal.

First, I'm very aware that a baby is a person unto him or herself. If I weren't aware of that fact, I wouldn't oppose legalized abortion. Are you aware that I oppose legalized abortion? Did you bother to read my post? I doubt that you did. Your type is more interested in your stupid posturing than in doing anything effective.

Secondly, I have been very careful not to create any children. I am aware that my strong preference not to create children is a reason to be careful in my actions, and I have been very careful. I clearly said that not being ready for parenthood is no excuse for abortion. Again, I doubt that you bothered to pay attention to that part of my post.

Again, the biggest impediment to banning abortion is that most people don't understand that the unborn child is really a person. One reason that they never consider that argument is that so many in the pro-life movement either oppose abortion simply as a way to harass those who don't want kids or they leave people with that impression. I'm sorry that you have such a big problem with people who don't want to live their lives the way that you want them to live. It's sad that you see the issue as a way to use the government to harass people who aren't like you. Unfortunately, your selfishness is a big part of the reason that we can't sway opinion in opposition to abortion.

One reason that the pro-life movement hasn't had more legislative victories is that groups within the movement itself refuse to accept people who aren't perfectly aligned with them. Therefore, they can never build a coalition to do anything effective.
