What makes your think I support abortion? I oppose abortion the same as you do, and for many of the same reasons. It's a horrible choice. But it must, until viability or quickening or the point where fetal pain can be felt, be a legal choice.
It is not the state's place, in a Constitutional republic that respects the right of the individual, to force a woman to reproduce. Should she have kept her legs shut if she wasn't ready to have a baby? Of course - but so what. You're not the boss of her, and neither is the doggone government. You are making a moral argument, and backing it up by insisting that your moral condemnation of her mistake instead be a coercive directive backed up by force of law.
That is where we disagree. I say persuade her to do the right thing. Give her some money and support to do the right thing. Tell her all the terrible consequences to her future psyche if she goes through with an abortion, and what is precious that will be lost even if she has to see her baby born only to be given over to be raised by another. It'll be more effective coming from you, spoken in an atmosphere of love and respect, than it ever will be coming from a punitive state.
You manage to talk around the issue, evade, and use liberal talking points, all the while being deceitful about pro-lifers.
It is the pro-life movement that has been compassionate......... that has persuaded, that has provided for the needs of Moms and babies, that has treated women with respect.
It is you on the left, advocating abortion (yes you do, and on a daily basis here), who are in complete denial of the permanent harm abortion does to women.
Why did you not respond to my comments about the lack of compassion and degradation of women that abortion causes?
Why do you keep talking about the "state" as if people like
you haven't used the state to make killing babies legal.
The whole "let women kill their babies" was from the left and the state, and was not done legally. The whole "reproductive rights" argument is a lie, and yet you believe it and promote it with your heart and soul.
Why not become a compassionate, caring human being,
@Jazzhead , and oppose abortion to protect women and children?
Why don't you care about women? Why don't you care about children?
And most importantly here, why do you lie repeatedly about those of us who
do? Why is it so important to you to malign the movement that respects women? Pro-life conservatives.
Why??
