I love living , I believe that it is the most wonderful thing that could happen to anyone , or anything for that matter . This is the end of the discussion for me . THANK YOU . Peace & Love , ROND0

It's interesting that people say that a fetus, up until birth, is not an autonomous life form that can live on its own; therefore, there's no problem with terminating it. While that may be true, it's also true that a newborn baby is incapable of living on its own for its first few years of life. So it also is not an autonomous life form that can live on its own. So we should be able to terminate this non-autonomous collection of tissue, right? (aside from legal definitions and ramifications)

A baby outside the womb is done "becoming human"; it can live and grow without me. A fetus can't live, can't grow, can't become human without my consent and participation. (Yes, I am making the arbitrary distinction that a "human" doesn't need another humans body to survive.). I get to decide whe

A woman has the right to control her own body period. No govt has the right to tell her what to do.

Most of you'll missed the point . I attacked no one . Theirs always adoption . I am only talking about humans . It was only to stretch you're mind , to expand yourself out of you're little safe boxes . I want real logical debate , Not visceral , emotional reactions . Kudos to THE MIDDLE WAY keep it up , I like the way you think !

Like eggs for breakfast - that is denying a chicken to experience life too. The hypocrisy of those opposing abortion is pure evil. OK, no abortion you say - then how many children will you adopt and care for? Put up or shut up. The film 'Freakonomics' did a good job explain the effects of Roe V Wade. There was a sudden drop in crime rates about the time unwanted children who weren't born would have been committing them. So what happened, people like Giuliani took credit for it. I am a strong believer in if you don't want a child don't have one, and if it isn't any of your business - stay out of it.

Abortion is fucking horrific for the woman to go through, I wish people would stop making them feel worse than they already do about it.

Considering between 30 and 50% of fertilizations result in spontaneous abortions adding a few more because of maternal circumstances doesn't really bother me, I would much rather worry about all children that are born having a decent chance at life, you know health care, education, a roof over their head, that sort of thing.
When I was growing up we had a fervent Right to Lifer living up the road and we spent an awful lot of time rescuing her toddler from playing on the traffic on a busy road. If you have a child you have an obligation to care for it, if you aren't going to take that obligation seriously or realise you aren't in a position to; don't have the child. Real simple.
And don't bother saying you can always put it up for adoption, I was adopted at birth and know how that one can play out. Your body: your choice: your responsibility.

All life on this planet, from algae to Al Green, is interrelate. By this logic, how can we eradicate even lowly slime mold without giving it a chance to experience all life has in store for it?

because an unwanted baby is another mouth to feed that's not cared about. a woman who wants babies who are pregnant has them. woman lose babies every month or there wouldn't be identical twins. the world is heaving with humans and they are destroying life itself like a plague or virus. what about male chicks in the egg laying industry? what about male calves in the milk industry? what if the woman had been raped or child even?

I don't think of it as condoning abortion, merely leaving the difficult choice to the woman who finds herself in that difficult situation. That's why it's called pro-choice and not pro-abortion... although I'm sure there are some anti-natalists out there.

How far do you want to take it? If a man ejaculates anywhere outside of a vagina, is he not denying one of those little semen a chance at this wonderful opportunity of life? Anyway, there were abortions before it was legal. The difference was that only those with money could have safe abortions.

An unwanted child is an unloved child. Children that are abused, neglected and used. Children that are sold into sex slavery and children in war-torn countries that starve to death or murdered. What are their chances at the wonderful thing called life?

Common sense, logic, and reasoning dictate that you do not bring a child into a world just to have it suffer.
