Speaking of abortion.... PennsylvaniaMatt Jan 2013 #3
I am pro-abortion. it's a moral choice that liberates women, saves lives and PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #4
But the key word you used is "choice".... PennsylvaniaMatt Jan 2013 #5
ok, but you said that nobody is. I am. it's a medical procedure. PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #6
I see what you're saying.... PennsylvaniaMatt Jan 2013 #7
I don't like the implication that fully supporting and/or having one is shameful PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #8
Fully supporting or having an abortion is NOT shameful PennsylvaniaMatt Jan 2013 #9
I understand where the poster is getting at gollygee Jan 2013 #15
Exactly. PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #18
That's like saying that you're "pro-mastectomy". Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #11
I disagree. PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #14
"Abortion rates are fairly low and have steadily declined since 1997" is the second bullet point Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #16

I'm pro-mastectomy and pro-abortion. Both are blessings to women who need them. SunSeeker Jan 2013 #27
Their is a +1 on the Pro Abortion here. Lady Freedom Returns Jan 2013 #10

I'm pro-abortion. RudynJack Jan 2013 #17
I would bet that more women are coaxed or guilted into childbirth than abortion. PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #19
Exactly. RudynJack Jan 2013 #21
bullshit, indeed. there are laws against "abortion coercion", but not coerced childbirth. PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #23
There is actually a theory (the "Donohue-Levitt Hypothesis") that legal abortion reduces crime. Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #22
absolutely astonishing that women can manage their own health care, their own bodies, without niyad Jan 2013 #13
About those abortion rates going down... TreasonousBastard Jan 2013 #24
the point is: decriminalizing has not caused an increase PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #25
That too... TreasonousBastard Jan 2013 #26
Good point. The best way to reduce abortion is by making contraception widely available Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #29
This thread is not about reducing abortion, it's about reproductive choice. PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #30
The poster I was replying to had "abortion rates going down" in the post title. Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #31
It's the second time you've tried to twist it into that. PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #32
I would prefer that my daughters use contraception than get pregnant and have an abortion. Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #33
this article isn't about what you want for your daughters PeaceNikki Jan 2013 #34
May I offer my humble and sincere apologies for straying so far off-topic. Nye Bevan Jan 2013 #35
