Saying that there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers.

I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.
—Ronald Reagan
I certainly supported a woman’s right to choose, but to my mind the time to choose was before, not after the fact.
—Ann B. Ross
People often say that abortion is a woman’s choice, and they’re right, they choose life the moment they have sex.
—Preston Wagner
I think we have deluded ourselves into believing that people don’t know that abortion is killing. So any pretense that abortion is not killing is a signal of our ambivalence, a signal that we cannot say yes, it kills a fetus.
—Faye Wattleton
When we consider that women are treated as property it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love but to use violence to get what they want.
—Mother Teresa
Abortion on demand has, in my judgment, contributed significantly to an environment in our country in which life has become very cheap.
—Robert Casey
Abortion is inherently different from other medical procedures because no other procedure involves the purposeful termination of a potential life.
—Potter Stewart
Too many people use abortion as a form of birth control. And that’s very wrong. I could never, ever have an abortion.

What Girls & Guys Said
13 25I agree. Its like people these days can't accept responsibility for their bad life choices.
So you're saying that all abortions are not accepting "bad life choices". How about if a 16 year old girl gets raped by a 32 year old guy, is her aborting that potential person; not accepting a so called bad life choice? Even otherwise, if a women aborts a potential person BEFORE consciousness develops in that potential person, is that; not accepting a 'bad life choice'? When someone fails articulate something in a reasonable way while having a 'strong opinion' about it, that un-instantiates essentially all reasoning for one to respect them.
@Nostalgiasteve Contempt is the weapon of the weak and a defense against one's own despised and unwanted feelings.
@Iraqveteran666 Ok... and how does that address anything I said?
I like you. A baby lives from the moment of conception just coz the wee one is in a woman's belly doesn't mean it's not alive. If anybody, man or woman hurts a kid near me ill disembowel the bastard and I'll laugh after it
No one's arguing it's not alive, just that it's not a person with legal rights. Bacteria are alive too, but no one's being shunned for washing their hands.
@Dale1982 A great deal of abortions are before consciousness develops, are trying to argue against ones other than those, all abortions, or something else? Be explicit and you're comments will make more sense and have less of a chance of wasting someones time due to lack of understanding of what you mean specifically. Also, what if it's self defense, just let the kill them or what? (as you stated about men/women hurting kids and listed no exceptions).
@Nostalgiasteve shut your rambling ass up. You're balls haven't even dropped yet. Wtf do you know about kids. Away and lecture some kid about high scores in a computer game. Condescending cunt
Lol you say "shut your rambling ass up. You're balls haven't even dropped yet." and you think I'm condescending? Amazing, I love it.
I didn't know Brooke Shields was pro-life. She's lost my respect.
It's interesting to consider... if it's good and fine for women to have abortion on demand... then how can their lives have any value? If your progeny is so worthless it can be killed on a whim, how is the woman anything but equally worthless?
the fetus becomes "worth something" when it becomes an actual baby near the end of the pregnancy.
@mistixs Do tell. At how many weeks along does your offspring then have value?
when it becomes conscious and sentient
@mistixs ooh we're getting deep here. So tell me. How many weeks along in pregnancy is that? Or how many months old after birth?
@timesplittersxsxd you remind me of a bugs bunny cartoon where he tutns an ugly witch into a hot bunny... He grins, is about to take her off somewhere, and tells the audience 'i know. But isn't every girl a witch inside?'
You don't have to be able to put an exact figure on it to be able to say that during the first one or two months it is not wrong to get rid of it.
@jonblane ah. So the magic marker is at 8 weeks the unborn childbatops being worthless?
You didn't read properly what I wrote. For some people it might still be ok to terminate at nine ten or even 12 weeks. What I said was that that's a more difficult call ~ but at 6 to 8 weeks there is nothing that would disturb my conscience to get rid of. It is a potential human that's all ~ but a man's testicles are full of them.
@jonblane For some people, killing over a debt is fine too. It's either fine or not fine. It doesn't matter what's okay to some. I'm not a relativist.
You are not comparing like with like. Murdering someone over a debt is always killing a person. Terminating a six week old fertilized bunch of cells is not killing a 'person' in most people's book. That's the point : six weeks from conception is not the same thing morally as six or seven months from conception.
@jonblane "In most people's book." Again with the relativism. It either is or isn't. It doesn't matter what most people think. It matters what is and isn't.
Quote: " You should look on the other side of the coin. Illegal abortion is more dangerous for women. I rather have only a fetus die than a women and a fetus." -Deathraider.
Punish abortion with hanging, then we'll see how many illegal abortions there are.
@TheSpartan You are killing more than needed. So the fetus and a women rather than just a fetus.
It will reduce the number overall.
@TheSpartan Have you even dive into the legal part of abortion.
I'm aware of the arguments.
@TheSpartan How shall you combat the legal arguments. And don't use what you feel is right and wrong because other people has different morality.
Now this is how you get people riled up :D
How?
No. just no.
Interesting.
Much better than the "amazing" pro-choice nonsense I read previously.
yes that was utter bullshit, especially the one about women valuing a babies life. if you value life you don't abort.
Right 😂
All very true and accurate
Americans - cry over the idea of abortions (yet won't raise those kids themselves)
yet have no problem bombing children with incendiary bombs incinerating them at 1000°+.
Because the average person makes the decision to drop the bombs, right? And not the government, right?
@ThisDudeHere In a democracy everyone is guilty. If not by support, then by not protesting. If it were a matter of gun rights being taken away, the citizenry would shut the government down. When it's a matter of killing innocents: meh we support our troops mother fuckers! The reality is you aren't marching because that would get in the way of your bliss. So you are willing individually and collectively to turn a blind eye. According to US military stats the Iraq war killed over 1 million people. 90% civilians. That's 900,000 human souls, wiped from the face of the earth. Men, women and children who never threatened you, never took up arms against you.
I'm not American, just so you know. And most people don't elect their governments with those things in mind.
@ThisDudeHere true. But it's time we did.
Easier said than done.
@ThisDudeHere that's what was said about the abolition of slavery, emancipation, shifting power from kings to the people, the fall of the Berlin wall and many other social changes. We just have to actually want it.
Do you think those people were all killed by US forces. They were mostly killed by insurgents, even those counted as killed by Coalition forces were not necessarily killed by American troops they could easily have been killed by Iraqi Government forces who did not follow orders. It is not in US policy to kill civilians. Sometimes they get killed in crossfires by our soldiers, but as far as I am concerned those deaths are on the heads of insurgents too for hiding in civilian areas. I by the way wasn't even old enough to vote when the Iraq War started, most of the Americans on this site were not. I was opposed to it and I protested it in my own way. I wrote an editorial and you know what it did, nothing. I can assume you are not American, perhaps in your country people can just wave a magic wand and change the things they dislike. Not here. The point is yes we do have a problem with killing children and if I had the money and means to bring up every last one of those children I would.
@Jackblue not every American thinks as you do. That's my point. Far too many support war ( look up military-industrial complex). True stats can be unreliable, however with numbers like a million, many children and innocents are dying. That's on the US. And generally people are more concerned with black Friday deals then the wars they pay for, vote for and support one way or another.
The people who care about Black Friday deals most of all are poor people who need those cheap prices. The Iraq war was front page news for years and years on end, believe me Americans care about it. They elected Obama largely because they were angry at Bush for getting them into Iraq. And the statistics I listen to are from neutral sources who have done a great deal of research.
If abortion was legal in 19th century Austria, it could've prevented the birth of Adolph Hitler. This is why I'm pro choice.
What an idiotic thing to say, it most likely would not have prevented his birth and no one could have predicted what he was going to do.
@timesplittersxsxd Abortion could've prevented the birth of Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zedong saving millions of lives and you're against that? You fool!
What are the chances of that actually happening, your statement is ridiculous,.
@timesplittersxsxd Very high chance because I'm sure most women would abort baby Hitler or baby Stalin.
Hello, they could not have possibly known how he would have turned out. Go to sleep
That's why I'm pro-life. SEIG Heil!
I don't know what part of that to correct first so I am not going to try.
life is so random... it's not even worth fighting for, why would someone want to be born in this twisted, bizarre, insane world. there is so much pain and boredom.
Life's what you make it hombre. If you have a shitty life I suggest you go out and make something worthwhile of it.
@Danimal007 life is not made, we are born this way, we are forced to work, because our bodies can't last much without food, if it was that easy, i wouldn't be worried about bullying and lost time in school. you are delusional
@Danimal007 and tell that to peoples who die unfairly from cancer, or tell this to death itself, i guess that "life is what you make" not a valid statement anymore. can you change into a dog, or at least try to be one without being laughed at, mocked on the internet? no. because the free will of others is against ours
does this quote also applies to the peoples from the past that were enslaved? is this quote always available, c'mon
First of all you're not dying from cancer, and yes something is going to kill all of us one day. It's probably going to be either cancer, infection, or some sort of heart failure. It's all unfair, but that's life. However, that still doesn't change the fact that while you're here, no matter your situation, it's all what you make of it. Secondly, what the fuck are you talking about trying to change into a dog?
@Danimal007 some peoples what to be dogs, and life is unfair for them, all they do in their lifetime is their choice as you said, but there are peoples who disrespect them no matter what. i am here but is not my fault, i didn't want to be in this place. it's not what i want to "make of it", i have dreams and i would never fulfill them, but i can't because life is not what i make, worse that that, i'm not even doing too much for myself, other peoples make food and provide their services, if they don't do it correctly is that my fault? if i get sick or starve because of their fault is that my fault, is my fault that i want to live without moneys and food but i can? like that is that what i wanted to make? is that what i wanted to do with my life?
*can't
Pro0life and pro-choice. Two very opinionated terms coined by very opinionated people
Great Take.
Mother Teresa was a sadistic scam.
the usual nonsense form the over 45
You have been listening to the alcoholic atheist Hitchens, who drank and smoked himself to death.
Says the over 45 year old troll on this site... What have you done with you life?
