Is it since he/she was uninformed enought to buy it, I suppose he/she wants everyone to stop thinking with their own mind as well.

Are these people not aware of the millions of medical procedures women have done each year and nobody says a word.

More poor products of the liberal controlled public education system and justification for vouchers.

I guess I have to draw a map. For the simple minded, the logic is as follows-If the issue was controlling a womans body, that controll would be pervassive, not limited to just stopping abortions. proving the rationale against abortion isn't to controll the body. Therefore, as I thought this group my be able to deduce, the issue is the child inside.

I should have realized to this group, the child is an unwanted afterthought anyway - my bad.

Well, just who's zygote are you talking about then? If you are talking about anyone else's choice, or what to do with their body, but yours, you ARE trying to control someone else.
Am I allowed to tell you when to get a circumcision? When to get your hair cut? When/if you should get a vasectomy?
Then you can't tell me, or anyone else what to do with my body or their body! Including what is inside their body.
Get it now??

I am assuming that you yourself were never put into the position of having to make that choice.

I believe that it is a choice that has to be made between the two people who have concieved the child, or in many cases the woman is alone and has to make the choice herself.

I read so many answers in which people say the woman should carry the child to term then Give it up for adoption...
if you carry a child for 40 weeks, then giving it up would be extremely difficult, I think that only women who carried children would understand this.

Now, on the millions done every year, I agree that that number is extremely high. I am a firm believer that abortion should be a last option....the problem I have noticed is that there are too many women out there that are using it as a means of Birth-Control. Women not using any contraception, and getting abortions 2, 3, 4, or more times.

Abortion debates are not on controlling a womans' body, or rather, they should not be. Most abortion debates are based on beliefs, scientific and religious. And a persons beliefs, that's their own choice.

Well, then, I guess the question would be why anti-choice activists don't care about any of the other medical procedures done on a woman's body, but get so worked up over this one which also affects no other living human being except the woman.

Your assumption that the control would be pervasive fails. There are few procedures a woman can have on her body that a man cannot also have on his body. And of those, this is the only one that affects whether she has to carry around something inside her body that she does not wish to have there, something which may not do her harm, but which she nonetheless does not want in her body. Certainly people aren't going to say that women can't have mastectomies or hysterectomies, but by trying to ban abortion, they are undeniably trying to exert control over what a woman does with her own body. That should be obvious to any thinking person.

"In most cultures, it has been a long time since women were considered property. So keep your grubby hands to yourself"

Wow! "Most" cultures? Really? So - in African nations, for example, women are treated as equals? How about the Middle East? Or the Far East?

My issue with abortion is simple - what about the rights of the father? We never take that into consideration at all. I saw a young man on a news show last year who was suing to get out of paying child support. Of course, my first reaction was outrage, but then I listed to him, and damned if he didn't have an excellent point. His defense was that he would have had no say in the matter if she had decided to abort the baby, so why should he have to pay for it?

Millions of women have millions of medical procedures by choice. They don't have the government telling them which procedures they can and can't have. You telling them they can't have an abortion is in their perception you telling them what they can or cannot do with their body, regardless of what YOU think about abortion. It doesn't make a person a fool for thinking that about you.

I am not following your "logic" at all! No one has tried to ban the surgucal procedures done on women--except that of abortion.

I am pro-life, but I agree with the people who say that the desire to ban abortion is an attempt to control a woman's body--and mind--and morals--and, and, and.........

Wondering where YOU got YOUR "education", and am pretty sure it did NOT include a course in Logic!

The millions of medical procdeures women have done each year is because of their choice, not because of the Governments choice.

Get it now?


That map of yours goes nowhere. Pro Choice simply means that, otherwise it would be called pro abortion. The choice to terminate a pregnancy should not be the Government and should not be from other people, but simply the person who is pregnant and the one who got her pregnant.

You are so rigid in your thinking, that you cannot seem to take another point of view other than your own. Now who is simple minded?

No, I didn't know that. I wouldn't want my wife to have a abortion but I don't want to tell other people they can't have abortions.

BTW, how many children have you adopted? Because someone has to take care of these kids.

So in addition to making abortion illegal you want to know what medical procedures women are having as well.

Now I get it.

Any time that you tell me what I can do with my body, I will accuse you of wanting to control my body.

In most cultures, it has been a long time since women were considered property. So keep your grubby hands to yourself.
