Will this brand new, radical approach to resolve the abortion issue actually work?

Question

You change the abortion law, and here's how it works:

Anyone can get an abortion at anytime, however the fetus or whatever you call it has to be brought out with the least amount of stress to it as possible, that is bring it out alive.

The mother must kill it, usually by suffocating it.

For the conservatives, you have maximum control over your own children, with the least amount of government involvement!

For liberals, you have all the abortion on demand you could ever ask for!


Liberals might say "we don't want to have to actually look at the fetus and have to kill it ourselves!" I say, why not? You're the one that wants it killed, do it yourself.

Conservatives might say "You're killing innocent babies! You can't allow that!" I say, so what? They're not your babies, mind your own business.

I've thought about this, and I think its the perfect solution!

What do you think?

Well, interesting answers. Note that my abortion proposal addresses the hypocricy of both sides. The same people that love looking at dogs that have been fought, and are outraged about it, don't want to look at aborted fetuses, but they want abortion on demand. And the people that want to save all these babies don't talk about what we should do with thousands of crack babies that would be born each year if abortion was illegal.

Actually I favor abortion on demand. I think you should be able to kill your own kids until they move out of the house and earn their own living. But I don't pretend it's not a baby.

Answer 1

Abortion is murder. I helped raise a crack baby through foster care.

Answer 2

reality worldwide 23,000 infants an afternoon die of starvation and a million American infants a night visit mattress hungry some incredibly scary issues can and frequently do take place to the undesirable infants of united states of america and the international interior the U. S. our contemporary furnish of undesirable infants far exceeds the call for to locate them stable everlasting stable properties . all and sundry that believes that including yet another a million.2 million undesirable infants a 300 and sixty 5 days to that pool is a sadist who hates young ones the classic family contributors Poverty formulation is that infants = Poverty and ahead in C extraordinarily much consistently led to a upward push in P For a family contributors of 5 that's particularly making it having yet another new child turns into the straw that breaks the camel's back ultimately the maternal mortality value for first trimester abortions is below it particularly is for finished term pregnancies

Answer 3

Funny how you say "smother", which suggest you believe the product of a legal abortion can breathe. The reason you go to a doctor is to perform the abortion in a safe, clean environment (which will protect the woman). I chose to keep my daughter when I could have aborted or given her up for adoption. I think we should have counseling available and leave the rest up to the woman who is pregnant.

Answer 4

I suspect most abortions are done in the first trimester and I don't think many( if any) would survive outside the womb(so the mother can smother it...as you have suggested). I do not believe your idea will work because the majority of the time she would not have to do a thing.

Answer 5

Wouldn't make much difference in early term abortions, the fetus wouldn't live anyway. In later term the mother usually has her mind made up but having to do the dirty work herself might make her think twice about getting pregnant again. What would you do about the men who are unwilling to become fathers? Just curious.

Answer 6

By that logic, can we also presume you will be butchering your own cows, chickens and pigs?

If my child needs brain surgery, should I blow off the specialists and perform the surgery myself, since "I'm the one who wants it done"?

This "brand new, radical approach" is, I'm sorry to say, neither radical nor brand new.

If abortion means murder to you, and you are so against abortion (I'm not attacking your position, unlike your party, we tolerate opposing views, as long as they make sense, I am just stating facts as you see them), then why did your Republican President, your Republican-majority Congress AND your Republican-majority Supreme Court NOT DO ONE THING to slow down or stop abortions in this country for SIX YEARS?

Why do you attack liberals, who don't encourage abortions, but only want it to be one of the available CHOICES (hence the title, "Pro- CHOICE"), when your OWN Conservative party, which had such control over Washington for 6 years there was virtually NO oversight into ANY program they ran, THEM you just allow off the hook?

They promised you a LOT of things they didn't deliver on in that 6 years, and the one thing they say that's supposed to be a positive for Bush's failed Presidency, is, "No attacks since 9/11". Sorry, far as I'm concerned, he should have seen 9/11 coming too, he had adequate warning (the warnings were in Washington, which was part of the problem, Bush was "on vacation" in Texas HALF of that first 9 months), but as far as you should be concerned they completely failed you on the issue of abolishing or at least curtailing abortions in the US.

He did nothing to fix Social Security
Nothing to secure the borders of this country SIX YEARS after Sept 11 (I live in Arizona, dont tell ME the borders are secure);
Remember the Balanced Budget Amendment Newt Gingrich and all those "Compassionate Conservatives" in the 80s were going to pass? Clinton actually BALANCED the budget, Bush blew THAT out of the water, but it's ok; he won't have to pay for it back... WE will; 27 years later, STILL No Balanced Budget Amendment;
No "Line Item Veto" yet, this was also a real pie in the sky promise back int he 80s
Oh yeah, how about the "No Burning the US Flag" Amendment? Nope, only ever hear about that old chestnut at election time.
"No Child Left Behind"? Ridiculously underfunded, we have mortgaged our children's future for Iraqi oil. For what has been spent on the Iraqi war so far we could have the both the finest schoolsystem and the finest public healthcare system on the planet. This is a really radical idea, guys, but did it occur to anyone the best to show why Democracy is the way to go is by showing how it helps its OWN citizens? Why are we spending a half trillion in Iraq and schools, bridges and homeless shelters in the US are falling apart? Just whose President IS Bush?
"No Gay Marriage" Amendment? Nope, they did nothing about this after using it to get you to elect them, so they could END this scourge on God fearing America, two people in love! How DARE they?
Passed the "Patriot Act", the one piece of legislation which did more to gut the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights than ANYTHING suggested in "Mein Kampf" or "The Communist Manifesto".
Failed to capture, or apparently even intimidate, the man who admits responsiblity for the pre-meditated murder of almost 3,000 US citizens, Osama bin Laden. YOUR President has been quoted as saying about bin Laden: "You know, I don't even think about him all that much anymore". This one failure alone "emboldens" our enemies much more than any domestic peace demonstrations do.
Instructed the Justice Dept to deny the relatives of vitctims of the terrorists' attacks on Sept 11, 2001 the ability to sue the relatives of the Arab terrorists;
Still has not implemented the 42 recommendations of the 9/11 Commission;

Do I need to go on? Bush wants Congress to give him ANOTHER $189 Billion for Iraq, while he threatens to veto $60 Billion to get uninsured kids falling thru the cracks in our insurance system some much needed healthcare. I ask again, why so much for Iraq, and so little for Americans? IT'S OUR MONEY!

Answer 7

It makes more sense then blowing up abortion clinics...


Isn't killing someone who performs abortions like aborting a child in it's 200th trimester???

Answer 8

I think your idea is about as sick as standing in front of a planned parenthood handing out pornographic pictures of mutilated babies and heckling young women

who say the Christians are any less violent today, than they were during the crusades :P

Answer 9

It might just work. At least it will bring down the number of abortions.

Answer 10

No, that would be illegal, unlike abortion now.

You did not spend too much time thinking this up, I hope.
