Reply #108: you're absolutely right!

Abortion does NOT "mean you kill the baby". Congratulations. Keep saying it, and you might acquire adult thinking skills.

And write "pregnancy" 100 times on the blackboard, and you might learn how to spell it. Pregnacy ... pregancy ...

Yes pregnacy is hard but we live in a day and age where we can prevent pregancy without killing someone.

Damn. If I wanted to prevent pregnancy, I can't imagine how killing someone would do it. I can't even imagine how killing someone would work if I were pregnant and didn't want to be.

That aside, I don't know what day and age you might live in, but it doesn't appear to be the same day and age as the rest of us.

Maybe you live in a day and age where there is a 100% effective method of pregnancy prevention available to all women, and all women are provided with access to it. This method of pregnancy prevention is suitable and works for for all women (regardless of age, medical conditions, etc.), never fails (and is something that all women, regardless of their physical and intellectual abilities, always use correctly), and cannot be overcome by third parties (like coercive partners, abusive family members, criminal strangers ...).

We all know that not even "abstinence" works, since not all women are able to exercise full control over their own bodies. Nuns get pregnant, and not by choice.

Anyhow, who's this "we"? "We" can prevent pregnancy? You have some method by which you can prevent someone else's pregnancy? I don't think I want to know.

I think abortion should be limited. Its not right. It is for the most part sick, selfish, and the product of irresponsibilty.

Yeah, well, it's been said: it's "murder", and you just want to "limit" it? Yeah. Just like we "limit" other murders ... like how it's illegal to kill, oh, fathers-in-law, but not mothers-in-law. Some pigs is just more equal than others. Some folks get their right to life protected, and some don't. Right?

Now, if abortion is sick etc. "for the most part", what is it for the other part?!

And you're sounding like you need the lecture so often handed out in the gun dungeon (to the invisible people who say things that only rkba-heads can hear ...): Guns don't kill people! People kill people! An inanimate object is not evil!

You say that abortion is "sick and selfish". Don't you mean that the WOMEN who have abortions -- WOMEN whose abortions are "the product of" WOMEN'S "irresponsibility" -- are sick and selfish?

I think you must.
