sundevil777 102 #76 February 24, 2006 When do you think abortion should be allowed? Back alley abortions will certainly be fewer if abortion at any time is allowed. If, however, at some point it is a life worthy of protection like any other baby outside the womb, then I think the desire to have fewer back alley abortions cannot outweigh that taking of the life.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #77 February 24, 2006 QuoteI think it is lousy to assign motives for peoples objection to abortion in this way. I have heard it on far too many occasions... and from people who really surprised me that they would have that attitude in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #78 February 24, 2006 Quote I also know women who have had abortions, and I realize there are a lot of extremely painful and psychological difficulties, feelings of shame, unforgiveness towards oneself, etc, that one can experience because of abortion ( I realize this isn't the same for everyone). I would not want to see my friends have to go through all that trauma Nothing like the trauma of getting thrown out out of the house because you got pregnant in high school. (My mom is among that category). It's a barrel of fun dropping out of high school, having to support yourself and the kid, losing a chunk of your family and friends, and perhaps doing it alone. At least now, women can choose which trauma they want to deal with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jloirsdaan 0 #79 February 24, 2006 Abortion is not the best solution. But it should remain among the options.*** I couldn't have said it better myself. I am actually sitting here speechless that SD is passing such a law. No doubt politically motivated. I just hope it quickly goes to the supreme court and is rule UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

lisamariewillbe 1 #83 February 24, 2006 QuoteNo doubt politically motivated I would say its more "life" motivated. Also, Icon stated somewhere in these two threads on this subject that he hasnt had a chance to have an opinion one way or the other because he has not faced this situation. I do not agree with that line of thinking. Ive never faced an abortion yet I am strong in my belief that it is wrong. If it were only a womans body then yes she should choose, but shes choosing for someone else to. Were not talking about tattoos and piercings and her right to deform her body with branding, were talking about killing a life inside of her. (BTW I do not consider tattoos, piercings and branding to be deforming ones body, its an example)Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
