<quoted text>OK so you believe in Satan but not God that's stupid!!!! Also you can't talk about politics or controversy like gay marriage abortion etc without religion that's stupid people believe what they believe. I'm am not the best Christian I Don not go to church but I pray everynight and everyday the lord is in my home and heart the lord is who keeps my husband safe in Iraq!!!!!! Not me not life and not luck... also Jesus was a real person that did exist!!!!!!!!!! Lived like me and you breathed air and ate food etc. He was a human being and if he was lieing about his powers making the blind see etc. Why in the world would his stories still live to this day!!!!!!! People saw what he did with there own eyes. So theirs truth in the Bible. Not asking or telling you how to believe but. Just be open minded and be willing to hear other sides.... that's all.

<quoted text>I agree it should only be used in cases where the mothers life may be in danger, now in cases where the baby is clearly deformed, such as no brain, and possibly cannot survive, save the mother, she may have other children who need her. If letting the mother die, is that not murder to you also.

mistakes happen,birthcontrol can fail,and i believe that if you know in your heart that you would not be a responsible parent to take care of that child then an abortion can in fact be an act of love towards your unborn child.i have had an abortion because i knew i was not in a position to take care of the baby.i knew the child could stand a chance of being in a bad situation,not because im neglectful or a drug addict,just simply did not have the means and was already a single mother of 2.i could have never given the baby up for adoption after carrying it for 9 months so abortion is the only option.i have no remorse and felt like a great relief was off my shoulders after it was done and i still feel that way.there are lots of people in the world that grew up in bad,poor situations that look their own mother in the face everyday and wonder why they didnt abort them.i am one of those people.if i could go back in time i would beg my mother to abort me.not because she was a bad mom.i would just prefer to never have been here but nobody didnt bother to ask me about it.so here i am

In all cases. Period. There will always be those that abuse 'rights', but the need for a woman to have the legal right to do what's right for herself, mind, and body that may include having a safe abortion performed to maintain it, far outweighs the abusers of this legal right. Abusers being those that use abortion ad nauseum as run of the mill birth control.
Misogynists, non-convicted rapists, pedophiles, incest perpetrators all at large, whom also claim "christian morals" and use voting power, and MONEY of their churches to boot, will forever make the case for Roe vs. Wade to stand, all on it's own; then add the rest of all the aspects of why there's need for safe legal abortions minus the MINORITY of abortion abusers, and women's RIGHTS to be respected in this situation, had to be made into law to get there, against the 'christian' man and the needs of his 'moral' penis. Worse then pathetic. Period.

I personally believe that abortion is wrong. In my opinion, if it is legal to kill your unborn child because you aren't ready to be a parent or whatever, it would be no different than a woman who did not realize she was pregnant giving birth and killing her baby within the first few months of its life. It is murder. How could it not be? There have been babies born and survive perfectly healthy lives, that were born before the abortion cut off date. I am currently pregnant with my second child and I know so many women that would love to be mothers that can't its unreal. If you don't want the child, have it anyway and give the child to someone who does want it and is capable of taking care of it!

I do not see how any one who has an abortion could live with their self? You killed a helpless baby! I know I hear all the time that if you are raped its okay to have an abortion,WHY? How can you killing your baby,because no matter what that baby is your child also,how can that be right? Their are plenty of people out their who can not have children who would LOVE that child no matter how it came to be! More than women that have been raped getting abortions I can't stand those who have sex willingly,get pregnant, and have an abortion..... WTH? You knew the chance you could get pregnant,if you are old enough to think you can have sex,you are old enough to have a baby! If you don't want a baby don't have sex.PERIOD! I think anyone who has an abortion for whatever reason needs to be locked up for murder and the doctors who preform the abortions should be locked up also! Murder is Murder is Murder. Ever heard the saying 2 wrongs don't make a right?? SCUM is what you are SCUM!
