Whether religion is right or wrong, by banning religion you are forcing people to believe that their is only one right answer. That goes against every core of the modern world. If we start saying that then we are no different than the 3rd world countries that forbid practice of any other religion than their own. Or worse, we are comparable to CHINA!

No they should wait. They are not at the maturity to make such decisions which lead to STDs and teen pregnancies. Which lead to children dropping out of school, the welfare system struggling and a child without a responsible parent.

The advantage to using a term such as "civil union" is that you eliminate the word marriage from the legal system. This word is used in churches and you need to seperate church from state. Therefore, if a church tries to say they are against gay marriage, the answer is simply marriage is not recognized in state. You are free to practice marriage in your churches. It is very important that with a civil union, both straight and gay couples be granted ALL of the same rights though.

So its better not to give them life at all? Right and I am the nasty person.

Just because something is protected under the constitution does not mean it should be funded. It simply means, we should not restrict it.

...in your own, heavily-biased opinion that is.

Really? And what proof do you have that abortions have some growing need??

I dont believe anyone has the right to choose who comes into this world. Especially based on their quality of life. Who are we to say "well your life will be shitty anyway so...lets just not let that happen?" Give me a break

OMG when will people stop making these poor arguments about poor people? They are poor. They KNOW they are poor. They still took the risk of pregnancy KNOWING that they may not be able to hold the burden. Why should we feel sorry for these people?

Those 'accidents' are the risk you take when you have sex. Deal with it.

OR, they could not get pregnant! OR they could give the child up for adoption! OR they could save a little money to pay for the abortion themselves! When do we hold people accountable for their actions?!!!

Thats true. We do have the right to stand up and object to things we do not agree with. The debate is, should the government pay for abortions. Not some technicality about how we can't choose where all the money goes. Paying for an optional procedure from tax dollars is a waste and unnecessary. End of story.
