If one EMPOWERS people by law to have abortions, how can they say the are not pro-abortion?

Question

Example: If one empowers a state to have legal segregation, can that person also say they are against segregation?

-they are not - (above)

Answer 1

Its a bait and switch argument. They are trying to get you to believe that they are on your side, so you will drop the issue, but in the name of "freedom" they won't stop others from doing it.

They are just as guilty as anyone else who lives in a society that supports abortion. Its my believe if you don't speak out against abortion you are just as guilty as those who have had one, because you live in a society that supports it.

Same goes with the death penalty and other such issues as well.

Answer 2

Okay..I'm pro-abortion. To be otherwise is to say that unpaid, involuntary servitude to the state is acceptable. Should 'government', in tandem with the Jesus freak right, have the authority to force a woman, or an underage girl to go full term without paying her for her service to the state? If the government has that authority where does it come from? The federal gov't operates only on 'powers granted' by the Constitution. If the federal government has that power someone should point out in what part of the constitution that power is granted. Do the states have that power? Again, where does that power reside? If anyone has a clue, let us know.

Answer 3

Your question is like saying...
"since God empowered man with the choice to choose between the Holy Spirit and Satan, then he is pro-Sin."
Or
"If you support a person having Freedom of Speech, then you must like everything someone says."

sorry Chi, I usually enjoy reading your questions and the answers people give to them, but this one sounds like you didn't contemplate it long.

I myself, am for empowering the people with choice; however, I would never tell a woman an abortion is a good choice, because I don't agree with that particular decision.
Though I don't agree with that particular decision, that doesn't mean I don't agree with the functional aspects of having that choice.
We see what criminalization does in any situation where a person will find a way regardless of whether or not it is illegal, in many real life situations.
-drug use
it is unlawful, but people still find a way to do so. criminalization of drugs allows criminals the ability to make more money that professors, corrupts law enforcement, introduces people to under-cultures, destroys people's lives trapping them in that lifestyle, and innocent people getting killed in terf wars. we throw money at it to make the situation worse. just to throw more money at it.
-Prohibition of alcohol
same as above described under drug use, but now it is legal...less problems with decriminalization, and regulation.

criminalization of abortion will end up the same exact way. the problems banning it will cause are:
-lack of proper disposal of biological matter
-criminals will make more money thus gaining more power
-the government will not be able to regulate whether or not the child is killed after it is born.

any sensible person, whether or not they agree with abortion, should be able to see the most likely scenario that will occur, will not solve a thing. People will still get them, if they want them. History has shown this to be fact.

If you want to prevent abortions, quit crying about schools teaching the use of contraceptives prior to children having sex. It works the same way with drugs. many people are crying about their children finding out what drugs are, before they reach a certain age. But drugs are being sold in grade school, so they are being introduced to them by dealers telling them they are good, before they are being introduced to them by parents and teachers, telling them drugs are bad.

after they are pregnant, it is far too late to have the discussion, they already know from first hand experience.
If a person is that thick, that they are saying, "you better not have sex until you are 18". rather than "if you are going to have sex, promise me you will always use protection" you are just as responsible for them choosing to have an abortion as anyone else.

Answer 4

Even when the Supreme Court made late term abortion a States rights issue Ak. or Iowa after it was voted to make them illegal, the "Pro-Choice" lobby fought it and got the will of the voters overturned. Do you think that abortion being a billion dollar a year industry has any bearing. The Supreme Court upheld the legal right to an abortion, there is no Constitutional right to one.

Answer 5

It's pretty simple. I don't want the law to dictate someone else's moral dilemma. They should have the right to make a choice according to what they believe, not what I believe. So I can fight against laws that limit rights to an abortion and yet I can believe that abortion is a sin and that a woman should not have an abortion. You're into psychobabble. . .

Answer 6

It is called PRO-CHOICE.

Abortion is a decision that most women do not make lightly.....but she has every right to CHOOSE abortion if she wants to - for whatever reason she deems valid.....

It is HER body, HER choice. No one can FORCE a woman to carry and give birth to a child. Women are NOT cattle, they are NOT property or chattel....and their wombs do NOT belong to the government, church, husband or the public at large.

Answer 7

I don't like rap music: it glorifies violence, it's degrading to women, it sends a message that drugs, guns, and murder are a path to social status and wealth. I am NOT pro-rap. But I also understand that I have no right to force everyone to live by my likes and dislikes. So I will not do anything to hinder its production and sale. (But you won't catch MY kids listening to it!)

Certainly, there is something that YOU don't like, personally, but you understand that you don't have the right to shove your personal likes down everyones' throats.

Answer 8

I don't get it. I didn't "empower" anything. Voting things in is a joint effort, isnt it? So you're pro-Bush because he was supposedly elected by Americans?

Answer 9

I agree 100%. Abortion is not about freedom. It clearly is a violation of freedom. That freedom is the right to live regardless of what people think.

Answer 10

It is called Pro Choice.Meaning you may be for or against but everyone should have the freedom of choice.
