Posted: 9/4/06 at 2:38pm
I, personally, would not have an abortion. I am, however, Pro-Choice. I think the chuch should stop trying to force their beliefs on everyone else. I know the US was founded on Christian principles, but it was also founded for religious freedom and there is such a thing as separation of Church and State.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

The worms are already everywhere, I fear...
I've never really thought about it but I'd probably agree with you paroxysm.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

I'm all for abortion. If there was more of it, we wouldn't have so many assholes on this planet.
Just kidding.
Kind of.
I feel that women should have the freedom to make decisions about their own body - within reason of course. It's absurd to think that a group of mostly male lawmakers feel that they have the right to make that decision for millions of women.

I refuse to put my opinion here but, I've got a question:
Those who don't believe in abortion at all, how would you feel if you were raped and got pregnant?

"Those who don't believe in abortion at all, how would you feel if you were raped and got pregnant?"
This is the worst pro-choice argument that exists today. Less than 1% of all abortions are due to rape or incest. And with the availabiltiy of EC, this number will decline even further. To argue that abortion should remain legal for the less than 1% of women is asinine. To win the fight, the debate needs to focus on the 99% of women who should have the right to their own bodies. The rape argument just does not hold water.

"It's just you."
Yeah, Thanks for that.
I'm pro-choice, and feel that this is the decision of the individual. Also, as long as abortions are happening, we might as well be sure that they're being done safely.

Posted: 9/4/06 at 2:58pmI hate the whole "you can put them in an orphanage" argument. Orphanages are over populated as it is.

The orphanage idea is pathetic. Has no one ever seen Annie? They're desparate! And there aren't enough Daddy Warbuckses in the world...
And I agree about the pro-death penalty point. What idiots.

Posted: 9/4/06 at 3:04pmRight. I still think the put 'em in orphanages thing is a bad solution, but that bit was indeed a joke.
