Pro-choicers - I have never seen any of you run around in a T-shirt with the words "I'm pro-abortion. Please abort!" on it, or have riots in the streets when people choose not to terminate their pregnancies.
I am sick and tired of anti-abortionists acting as if pro-choicers are advocating abortion. We advocate a woman's right to choose. Nothing else. Nobody wants to have an abortion or have a friend choose to, but that doesn't make it any less a woman's right.
If men could get pregnant, do you, as an anti-abortionist, believe abortion would be illegal?

Iraqi - So you're saying the fetus should make the choice as to whether or not a woman should abort under severe medical circumstances? Should the doctor ask the zygote cells whether or not they'd like their carrier dead or alive?
Oh. My. Gah.

This question was very well stated. Unfortunately most of these "crusaders" are too busy with their cause to stop and realize there is a big difference between being pro-abortion and pro-CHOICE.

There is a huge difference in being Pro-choice and Pro-abortion. One give the woman the right to choose and the other simply wants abortion to be totally legal. Your question made a lot of sense, and if men could get pregnant, I don't believe that anything would be different. It takes two to get pregnant, and it should take two to decide on what to do with the pregnancy.

That's a moral dilema that will always divide the country. Personally, I agree with you. No woman wants to have an abortion but unfortunately due to situations they choose that option. Sad but true. I'm for taking care of the kids that make it into the world. Thereare way too much innocent children suffering that can be avoided or reduced by the same self-righteous groups who claim to be anti-abortion. Don't get me wrong some do help but not enough. By the way I am pro-life and against violence of any kind.

Pro-choicers don't advertise the way pro-lifers do, in my opinion. Most pro-choicers that I have met were calm, rational, and their arguments made sense. Most pro-lifers that I have met were in my face, aggressive and crazy. They made pro-lifers and Christians look bad. They made me less supportive of pro-lifers. While I may not agree with everything the pro-lifers or pro-choicers said, at least the pro-choicers weren't so aggressive and in my face offensive. The pro-choicers were the ones that really listened (and accepting) to me even though my opinions weren't the same as theres. Pro-lifers didn't.
There was a man that use to drive around in a beat up truck near elementary schools in my neighborhood. On his truck he had wooden boards hammered together. On the boards he had bible quotes taken out of context that didn't support his stance at all, which showed me that he wasn't very knowledgeable of the bible. Some of the boards also had extremely graphic photos of aborted babies. (Not an aborted fetus, but aborted babies). He would yell out of his window as he road down the street. He would hand out pamphlets that were very unJesus like. He definitely didn't gain any fans or converts. What was his purpose?
If men could get pregnant, I think certain things would definitely be different.

I believe if men could get pregnant they would get alot of abortions. Any woman I have talked to that has had one has had guilt feelings. Do you think the nurses in an abortion clinic tell women that? I don't think so. I know of an ObGyn doctor that was doing abortions that stopped because of the guilt he felt at terminating pregnancies. It's a very weighty issue....Not to be taken lightly...

I agree with you, so very very much! Well said!
Pro-choice and pro-abortion are not the same thing. I honestly don't know of anyone who is pro-abortion.
I'm pro-choice, and also pro-education and pro-birth control, pro-anything that is an alternative to abortion. But I'll be d***** if I am going to tell any woman what she must do. I prefer there to be many options available to her.

The choice I would make is not to have sex with anyone, whom I don't feel comfortable about having their child right now. Another choice, wait until I get married. Another logic which make makes sense, if I have sex with somebody I am not committed to what do I do if I end up with AIDS. That is a lot harder to abort.

They are about punishing people or behavior they don't approve of. Things like the whore had sex out of wedlock and now should suffer the consequences. It isn't because they care so much, they just want to judge, and exact their wrath.
They say the bible says it is murder. Abortions were not performed 1,800 years ago, so how can it possibly address it.
If men could get pregnant, it would be a different story indeed

No. I have never seen anyone do that. Nor would anyone do that. Some people don't realize how hard it is for a women to decide to go though with an abortion. They like to rationalize their stance saying that it's all because "abortions should be used as a form of birth control". Do they seriously believe that someone would have, as I say one fundie put it, "recreational abortions"?
Those people make me sick.

Are you extreme or retarded? i in my opinion would desire to appreciate because of the fact i don't make relaxing of retarded human beings. international locations that choose American help could enable get right of entry to to reproductive well being care and administration, which among different issues, is composed of abortions. you do not look to understand that throughout non-1st international international locations, being pregnant is a finest reason for dying to women and girls and that infant and mom mortality costs are a significant reason for dying to the female populations. examine out Africa... they have women and girls doing an excellent form of the not elementary exertions which at the instant are not fed precise and "Married" of their early to mid teenagers and expected to beginning in the past they hit 18 and the rape info are incredible. because of this, the fetus is purely too super to return out of the vagina and the cranium presses up against the pelvis, inflicting tissue necrosis that reasons holes interior the tissue that effect in Vaginal and Anal Fistulas that reason feces and/or urine to uncontrollably leak from the vagina. 15 12 months previous, malnourished women have an exact to maintain their lives by applying getting abortions . Non-1st international international locations are lady hating sh*t holes... Even in doubtless civilized areas of South united states of america, a physician can lose his license and, extra importantly to them, be excommunicated from the church for giving newborn sufferers of incest abortions. a physician gave a 13 12 months previous lady an abortion for the twins that have been sired upon her by applying HER FATHER and the well being care provider lost his license and the Pope in my opinion condemned his strikes. of path, what you're saying is going on should not be going on or you will have noted ingredients... And for the help of all, Fox information IS a valid source because of the fact it is elementary to actuality examine the accuracy of their statements by applying applying an elementary google seek. same with the leftist swinging nutters NBC, The on an standard basis Beast, the ACLU website, NPR, etc. Political Bias spins issues in the direction of that end of the spectrum even though it does not negate the common advice interior the positioned up.
