Life begins at the point of conception. No one can deny that after a human being is conceived it will develop into the very same being as those debating this issue. What astounds me is that those who favor abortion went through an identical development stage as the being they are condemning to death. Would these very same people agree that a similar choice should have been made about their own existence? How many human lives have been lost that could have added to our society in so many ways? Abortion today is used primarily as a birth control of convenience because people are too self-centered to take precautions. They prefer their own pleasurable self-indulgence over the care and sanctity of the life they created. What ever happened to taking responsibility for one's actions in this country? Is it too much to ask a woman who has conceived to place the child into adoption? Nine months of discomfort is nothing compared to life in prison for voluntary manslaughter! And what about consenting to sex with a male; is that part of the equation too? Or has abortion just become another extension of the women's liberation movement started in the late 60's which coincidently boosted membership on or about the same date as Roe V. Wade? Does the father of the child have a say in this? And what about the constitution of the United States? Are not all people conceived in this country deserving of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? I believe abortion is a crime against humanity and should be outlawed. We need to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision and get back to cherishing life in this country. For a country that murders it's children cannot be far from self destruction. Back in 1973 a Supreme Court decision {Roe v. Wade} legalized abortion by a 7-2 vote. Six of the seven justices in the majority were Republican appointees. The only Democrat appointee, Byron White, voted against Roe v. Wade. Back then the Republican motto was government is best that governs least. Hence the Republicans giveth and the Republicans taketh away. Joe Bialek

All American citizens have a Social Security number. It's the law. How soon after conception does a fetus get that number? I agree that late-term abortions are cruel. But, what if your daughter were told, in the 30th week, that her child wouldn't survive birth? Is it more cruel for your daughter to be forced to continue carrying? Or more cruel to abort the fetus?
It's all just a thought.
If women have to take responsibility for their actions how about men taking responsibility for theirs? It takes two people to make a baby and too many men just walk away.
As we speak there is a 9 year old girl and several 12 year olds in Texas who are now being forced to give birth. Is that what you wish for, babies being forced to give birth. And oh by the way they were raped.
Do you have any idea how much rape and incest goes on in this country? I am sure you don't have a clue. How about abortions that are performed because the mothers life is in jeopardy or the baby is not viable. Yes those things happen too and it appears you have no clue about the heartbreak that makes abortion necessary. Try being a Mom with two kids who finds out she is pregnant and when her husband finds out he leaves. Now I am sure you would criticize her for not taking responsibility but until you walk a mile in her shoes you should keep your mouth shut because you know nothing. All you have is your opinion.
If you think abortion should be illegal then it should also be illegal for men to desert women after getting them pregnant. If women can't back out of pregnancies, men can't either.

What about the man/boy who is the other part of the equation? They often leave the woman to raise the child with no support. Of course, that leaves them in poverty and conservatives are against government assistance. The decision to have an abortion is a traumatic one for a woman. That decision should be between a doctor and the woman!
One other thought. Those that are so "pro-choice" are all alive! What if your mothers had aborted you?
Good Grief.
It’s a “belief” that sentient life begins at conception. The science related to fetal viability is evolving. Laws need to be based on something other than faith and belief. We don’t all share the same faith or belief.
Stay out of others' medical decisions.
too? Or has abortion just become another extension of the women's
liberation movement started in the late 60's which coincidently boosted
membership on or about the same date as Roe V. Wade?"
Are you seriously suggesting that women are solely to blame for abortion?
