Abortions should only be legal in the first trimester when the fetus is still only a cluster of cells.

Actually, I am 10 weeks pregnant today, and I have two weeks left of the first trimester. I had an ultrasound yesterday, saw a head, body, arms, legs, as well as a strong heartbeat. The baby was wiggling around, too. I wouldn't call that a cluster of cells.

I believe in the morning after pill and abortion in a very few circumstances (danger of death to the mother, child rape/incest where the child gets delayed medical treatment, or extreme abnormalities in which the fetus is not viable).

Using abortion as birth control is just plain dumb. I know women who have had multiple abortions when they could have just gotten a morning after pill early on.

There is some truth to this, but people will still have abortions whether the are legal or not.

Because life begins at conception. Planned parenthood LIES to its clients..I know this firsthand!!! I also know that after an abortion a woman can have scar damage and have problems conceiving and carrying a baby later in life..I had 7 miscarriages after I had an abortion..the drs told me it was due to scar damage. Planned parenthood lied to me and said there was no baby and that it was only a mass of mucus..Had I known back then that my BABY could feel pain..could move..suck his thumb..had a brain and a beating heart..I would have a 17 year old now and not have the remorse of what I chose to do. Even with rape, a baby has the right to be born and have a life!! I am thankful that God forgives..and one day I will be reunited with my baby in heaven...

The point that people miss about this is that making abortions illegal will not end abortions. There will always be abortions. Making a new law will only create more problems because women will be forced to have the backdoor abortions instead of seeing a licensed professional.

Using that logic, we should legalize all drugs and criminal actions, because even though they are all illegal, people will continue to use drugs and commit crimes.

That's just asinine. Yea, congress could pass a law making abortions illegal. Then they could create an agency like the DEA, out of tax payers money, to go around and raid peoples homes suspected of having abortions. And it would happen.

First I think we need to establish the definition of "life". It appears most here like to consider movement as "life" so with that in mind life would begin before conception, also (just something to think on) with previously mentioned in mind its a fact that sperm "swims" so if one were to masterbate and ejaculate into a tissue would that be trash for disposal or a mass grave?

When you are having a bad day remember that you were the one lucky sperm out of millions that penetrated the egg. All the rest died.

I think their are plenty of really good people who aren't blessed with the ability to conceive children. Unless you were rape or some similar incident you made that mistake not the child & why kill it when plenty of people out here wld give anything for the chance to take care of it. The people I do know that choose abortion you can tell 20yrs later the choice still haunts them.

The Only time Republicans speak about abortions is at election time,also gays..

Dick Cheney own daughter is gay and both bush and cheney ran against abortions and gays yet both of these dumb suckers said they would support cheney daughter..Hyprocrites are REPUBLICANS

lOOK IT UP OR GOOGLE IT George W. Bush gave more food stamps away then President Obama and more white people are on food stamps then blacks.

Send your donations to
Elect President Obama in 2012
1600 Penn Ave.
Washington,D.C. 20001

Send from $5.00 to a Million Dollars

America can not take anymore of the 1% as Mitt or newt as the leader of the USA ,we will be back into a war within 6 Months if that happens.

Mitt sent 100,000 Good Paying Jobs to india,china,and mexico is how his worth is now $250 Million Dollars because the corps that was sent to foreign land was making a larger profit making junk to be sold in America junk store Wal-Marts and Sams Club.

Newt was kicked out of congress because of his dirty dealing while in congress,plus being a whore hopper with any women who would screw him.Same as herman cain... newt,twin brother

“I haven’t,” Tyler replied, before pausing to register what Sharpton just said,“I haven’t said that the Republican Party has done a good job, of reaching out to African-Americans. I think Newt Gingrich has tried to reach out to African-Americans and says there is another party, there is another set of policies that work better for the American family, including the African-American family.”

Maddow eventually jumped back in, saying that “there’s been nothing more racially divisive from a national Republican in the past five years” than what Gingrich was doing.

Watch the heated exchange:

Why is Ed Schultz in a new ‘lean forward’ ad?

Billy Hallowell wrote today about MSNBC’s Ed Schultz starring in a new “Lean Forward” ad.“Lean Forward” is the motto of the news network.

I watched it and it’s just as stupid as the rest of the “Lean Forward” series which features Schultz’s colleagues Al Sharpton, Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews. But more importantly, who else sees the humor in saying “Lean” and “Ed Schultz” in the same sentence?

JESUS IS NOT A REPUBLICANS
WEARING A FLAG PIN MADE IN CHINA OR INDIA DOESN'T MAKE YOU A BETTER AMERICAN,SHOWS YOU AREFOR OUTSOURCING GOOD PAYING JOBS FROM THE USA TO INDIA,CHINA,MEXICO..IS WHAT THE AMERICAN FLAG MEANS TODAY TO REPUBLICANS..READ BETWEEN THE LINES FRIENDS ,JUST AS MITT SAID LAST NIGHT HE DOESN'T CARE FOR POOR PEOPLE,AND THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT GOING TO TAKE YOU FROM THE CRIB TO YOUR GRAVE..BUT HE WANTED MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE VERY RICH AND SCREW THE REST.

I wonder what "legal" means. Should abortions be funded by the government? Hell no. A very few cases occur, such as rape, incest, etc. Should we encompass them all as one and the same? I don't think so. Should a crack whore and her sorry ass baby daddy be funded? Hell no! I'll be damned if my tax dollars go to free "outs" for the lowlife. Time for the separation of church and state to hold true, instead of whining about prayer in school and such. Sort of a catch 22.......either fund it or put up with the result. I say, if you can't afford a baby by your own fault, don't expect the government and tax dollars to bail you out. Plenty of coathangers available if you have no more morals than to end a life and suffer the consequences. All a matter of conscience, you pay in the end.

I wouldn't call it a person either any more than you would call a corpse a person. Both are 'human' but lack conciousness.
