Human beings have the right to live, regardless of location or ability.
This is a reference to abortion not for the medical health of the mother, the death penalty, any form of forced death. Self defense is a natural exception, but otherwise forced death is murder. Let's make it possible for rape and domestic abuse victims to choose adoption without the consent of the abusers.
You might be the descendant of someone who was "raped".
Should all rape babies be aborted?
Isn't abortion an ugly thing? Whether or not you think it should be legal or not, defending the practice is vile, and those who make the right to have an abortion their crusade appear to have really screwed up priorities to me.
Really? Of all the problems in the world to be on a crusade about, of all the good things to be fighting for, you pick the right to have an ABORTION as your battle?
Excuse me if I think that makes you a piece of shit.
This is what pro abortion supporters do to deceive the public & hide the inhumanity of their policies.
1) Steer the abortion conversation to life of mother & rape pregnancies, to Zygotes & first trimester abortions, all to deflect what they really support which is No Restriction abortions of all babies, even viable babies for any reason up to birth. This is the first thing pro choice people do. The GOP has allowed extreme case exceptions since abortion was legalized yet we still hear every day about these extreme rare cases. Lie, deceive, exaggerate, etc. all to condition the electorate to think the GOP wil deny these extreme case abortions.(by the way, rape pregnancies can be prevented within a day or two with a doctor visit)
2) They talk about the medical name of an unborn Baby..... Fetus. By using the name Fetus, they somehow believe it changes the status of the life growing inside the mother. Somehow in their thinking, a Baby that has not yet traveled through the birth canal is somehow different than it is after it is has moved down that canal. WOW, TALK ABOUT DENIAL!
3) They talk about the supposed hard life these unwanted children will have if allowed to live. So in all their God like powers, they know the future of every Baby aborted? How many great people have come from poverty or foster homes, etc.? To be so arrogant to allow the deaths of innocent life because of some perceived hard life is beyond diabolical.
4) Pro choice people like to say they do not personally believe in abortion, but would afford other's the choice to end the lives of their unborn Babies. Gee, how nice of them. I always wonder how a person who personally believes that aborting his own Baby is wrong because it is ending a human life, can support allowing other babies to die. HYPOCRITE PHONEY!
5) After all the scare tactics and deceptions, their next step is to lie and say they do not support late term abortions for any reason. They refuse to accept accountability for supporting all late term abortions of even viable babies every time they vote for Democrats who support it.
6) The Democrat Party and the Left even supports killing viable special needs babies, for any reason up to birth, for merely being different from them. That's like the Nazi mentality where we only want blond haired blue eyed people being born in Germany. In all their arrogance, they will deem who is deservng of life. Where is all their talk about diversity, inclusiveness, compassion? I guess these special olympic children actully mean nothing to them. Their lives are disposable.
I am not here trying to judge any woman who has had an abortion. I'm trying to bring humanity back to our nation by protecting our most innocent vulnerable lives.
I agree on many things. I believe that life for religious and scientific reasons begins at conception and that abortion outside of the mother's medical health is murder. Human beings do have the right to live, and they should be protected. I question proaborts when they say that prolifers don't care about women. It's called birth control, use it, or don't have sex. I want to overturn Roe, and talk about education, healthcare, and birth control. I'm not having children, but I'm not having an abortion either. I know that we differ, but I still love you anywhoo.
If the mother is too sick to have a baby, she should be sterilized like I was, but you cannot force someone to be sterilized, that is eugenics. I'm not talking about the sniffles or diabetes, but if the mother has certain neurological diseases like schizoaffective disorder, she would be denied her life saving medications, and become suicidal, or that 10 year old girl that was raped and denied a early abortion. Don't you EVER trivialized that shit again on my post. I am prolife with bthe exception of the mother's LEGITIMATE MEDICAL HEALTH. I have the right to not be sick for anyone. If I was healthy enough to be a mother, I would have one baby girl and name her Sitara, and you will never know how much it kills me to give up my dream of having that baby girl, but I had my tubes removed so I never need that abortion. I'm prolife, but you will never know it, because you paint all progressive women as these crazy whore who fuck anyone that moves. I love children enough to not want to conceive a sick baby, and while elective abortion is wrong, you need to make it easier to choose life or shut the fuck up about abortion. I messages Derek Kilmore about a rape or domestic violence victim's right to choose adoption without her abuser's consent, and you need to do the same. Talk to your legislators. Don't just buy a pretty bumper sticker, and call it a day. Be projustice, too, for Mom and baby. That's what Jesus would do unto the least of these. You have probably ignored all of my requests, so I bid you adoo.
You are a phoney like every other supposed prolife Democrat.
Why do you keep refusing to respond to my anaology of if I voted for a KKK member and then my saying I am not racist?
You ARE PRO ABORTION EVERY TIME YOU VOTE FOR THESE NO RESTRICTION ABORTION DEMOCRATS!
You are not fooling God. You vote for the people who would have told Mother Mary she could abort Jesus.
The Left hates Christianity. They have been doing all in their power to separate our freedom of religious expression on public land. They are trying to force Christian owned businesses to cater Gay wedding receptions that goes against their faith.
You are siding with the world, so spare me any Bible verses. You have ignored the majority of what the Bible tells you. It tells you to come out from this fallen world, not wallow in it.
I see you posting a lot about this issue. How would you, as a conservative, feel about comprehensive, graphic sexual education and free access to contraceptives for teenagers and adults?
Both of those things have been shown in Western countries to drastically lower rates of unwanted pregnancy, however they both also necessitate acceptance of the fact that people can and will have sex outside of marriage and at younger ages than you might be comfortable with.
Interestingly, it's actually conservative Christian regions of the USA that see the highest numbers of teenage pregnancies. It's thought that this is because of the lack of frank discussion of sex in homes and schools, and the relative lack of access to contraceptives, both very possibly a result of the stigma that Christians tend to associate with sex outside marriage.
I've got a better idea, you can have your sex ed., and also make abortions illegal except for extreme cases. That will save millions of innocent lives!
Over 80% of Americans identify as Christians, but a majority of them could not care less about what the Bible teaches. They live the same promiscuous lives as non believers.
My extended Christian family of well over one hundred people have only had a couple unwed pregnancies. They loved each other and got married.
All of the children and the grand children live with their parents. No drug addicts, no alcoholics, no one living on welfare, no one living together outside of marriage, etc.
I see the results of true Christian families. When Christian values are taught to the children by loving parents, the results are fantastic.
I disagree wholeheartedly. If 80% of Americans identify as Christians, why are the ones who identify as atheists the least likely to be jobless; pregnant as teenagers; in prison etc?
And why are predominantly atheist countries like Sweden, Iceland or Denmark relatively safe; relatively free from STD's; relatively less economically unequal; relatively better educated etc. than Americans?
I don't think what you're saying stands up to scrutiny. Your family sounds like the exception to the known trends.
That's not to say I agree with unrestricted abortions: I don't agree with them. But I would be careful if trying to argue that Christian values make more safe, more free, more educated, more moral societies. It wasn't too long ago Christian values were used to justify racism; slavery and the torture and execution of anything "other".
I would say, if a country is highly free, highly safe, highly educated and highly economically equal, then its society is relatively moral by comparison to a society that is largely dangerous, violent, uneducated and unequal.
Thereby, it seems to me that Iceland, for instance, with its predominance of atheists, is a more moral nation that the USA. I don't think anyone who is well travelled would disagree with that statement. The people are friendlier, the education is better, the healthcare is cheaper and more effective, the levels of poverty are lower, it's less violent. The list goes on.
And of course, you could argue about countries like the USSR and China, which have or have had policies of enforced atheism, but then they aren't free nations. Democratic countries with highly atheist populations -- by choice -- tend to be more positive societies than democratic societies with a high percentage of religious people.
All forms of tyrannic society tend to be negative, religious or otherwise: Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, North Korea.
But you should really take your fight to PPH and their Margret Sanger mentality that is furthered by "Ma Richards" daughter and she profits handsomely from legalized murder.
It's a figure of speech meaning that the apostles would be used to lead people to Jesus. When a Christian witnesses to someone, the Holy Spirit is giving them inspiration as He is when I type this. Jesus was not saying to kill and eat human beings.
You deserve to be located in a gas chamber if you aren't able to see that Donald Trump is a racist russian rapist who snorts coke and gets peed on by hookers.
Nahhh.... Your rights are only as good as your ability to ENFORCE them.. If they're just words on paper, or idle thoughts in your mind, they're meaningless..
Super Stupid are you saying the minorities Progressives support and need as a victim group don't have a right to live ? Are those idle thoughts in the minds of Chucky and Nancy ?
