I asked a question about abortion, and many answers I got were "women will do it anyway, just illegally with coat hangers". Well...
Let's make murder, rape, child molestation, armed robbery, selling drugs, battery, and assult legal. These are are illegal, but people still do them! This way, people can do these crimes in a nice, safe environment instead of in a dark alley!
You can't make something legal just because people will do it anyway. How about instead of using a coat hanger in an alleyway, you just close your legs next time your boyfriend gets you in the backseat. That is a nice, legal, and safe way to end abortion.
And it doesn't involve a coat hanger.

Get a grip, abortion is far from murder.
I live in a country that is regulated by The Constitution, not the bible.

Rape and the endangering of a female's appropriate are actually not so uncommon. certainly some eastern cultures think of abortion is incorrect: women have few rights in some eastern cultures. this is the situation with appropriate-to-existence. the aptitude mom has a appropriate to existence too -- existence as she would be in a position to deal with it. If all individuals alive now have been crossed off as unplanned, how manly could be left? could neighborhoods populated by way of appropriate-to-lifers be waiting to develop busloads of undesirable, neglected, abused, poverty-conceived babies for 20 years? Are there adequate adoptive father and mom waiting so as that girls keen to make the needed differences those months and bypass by way of hard artwork ought to be supported, nurtured, nourished and medically accompanied those months? Are there adequate keen to settle for any little one from any mom, regardless genetic history? if your prenatal examination proved a genetic malformation, that doesn't immediately advise you have get right of entry to to earnings adequate for lifelong supportive needs, nor which you're emotionally arranged the two. while you're 14, or 12 and pregnant? while you're mentally handicapped without help and pregnant? while you're only shy of your Masters with a place waiting? Do you have no longer have been given any rights?

I read and posted this on the other thread you made and it bears repeating, over and over again:
When someone makes the argument that outlawing abortion will lead to millions of unsafe, back-alley abortions, the evidence has already disproven their assertion.
As you know, Poland used to be a communist, Russian-controlled country. For over forty years, Polish women could get an abortion, and it was paid for by the state! In the 15-20 years ago, Poland decided to outlaw all abortions except those where the life of the mother was in jeopardy.
The UN and Planned Parenthood made the same argument - that safe, legal abortions would be replace by coat-hanger versions wherein millions of women would die from unsafe operating practices.
However, the record has proven that wrong. The plish government, the WHO, and many other independent organizations have demonstrated that the "doom and gloom" scenario predicted never materialized in Poland.
Nor would it in America.
Please, please stop using this defense - It is empirically false!

Wow! You list so many reasons to hate people, I'd think you'd be all for abortion. Look, if you were smarter, you'd just let everyone have an abortion except those people who shared your lovely values. Obviously, so many of us are unworthy in your eyes to have children - Just think, when we do you can just add them all to your list of people to hate.
Check out Chicago economist Steven Levitt*, his study claims that the rise of abortion since roe v. wade, correlates with a drop in crime in the U.S. Look at the disservice you'd be doing to your country if you continue to seek an end to abortion.

You have a good point but so does a hanger. Abortion came about through the callousness of our society. You have people who believe the life being taken is no more than a cell. News flash if it starts with a life then when you take that life you have caused a death. Even a cell has a life. Ask any scientist out there. If you can kill cells by smoking pot you can kill a embryo by having an abortion. Even an embryo has a life. They just call it that because it is easier to abort an embryo than it is to abort a baby.

Why should we make abortion illegal just because some people find it offensive? Oh, because abortion kills.
Smoking and drinking kill people, and many people find smoking offensive. Should we make smoking and drinking illegal?
Guns kill people (okay, NRA proponents, I know; guns don't kill people, people kill people, but bear with me for the sake of argument), should guns be made illegal?
Many terrorists are Islamic. Terrorists kill people. Should Islam be made illegal?
Throughout history, Christianity has put many thousands of people to death. Should Christianity be illegal?
Motor vehicles accidents account for more deaths than all natural disasters combined. Should cars be made illegal?
Making abortion illegal won't make it any less prevalent, and it will put more lives at risk as desperate people turn to desperate measures. You may not like it, but if abortion is legal, at least these people (who WOULD do it anyway) have the option of seeing a professional who can perform the procedure safely.

Are you 12? All the things that you have listed in your profile as reasons why you hate hippies can also be used as an argument FOR abortion. Do you realize that 90% of the issues you addressed are directly related to dysfunctional family situations (that cause rebellion, rage, depression, and so on and so on). Kids born to parents who do not want them suffer more than any cluster of non-feeling cells that are "disposed of" in a clinic somewhere.
*Why aren't all these "pro-lifers" adopting more of these poor unwanted children? It's talking out both sides of the mouth if you ask me.*

Yes, you are right that all laws are broken from time to time.
But the counter-argument is that when a law is so contrary to the public will that it is widely disobeyed, it erodes respect for ALL laws. Prohibition is an extreme example.
I have posted my general views on abortion elsewhere on Yahoo Answers.

safety should be considered for the lives of those concerned. there are times when abortion should be performed. such as rape, incest as an example. better to have a safe setting for these practices as sanitary conditions are crucial to the survival of the lady involved.

Your argument is narrow minded, childish and ridiculous.
I support human rights. If that right involves abortion, then so be it.
I do not agree with your religion, yet I support your right to worship and I would not deny you that.
I do not agree with these things you say, yet I support your right to free speech and freedom of expression.
I stated in your other post that I support many things I do not agree with, simply because to do any less is to show a lack of humanity.
