When This Blows Over

Do you really think that the millions of men and women in the pro-life
movement are motivated by an intense burning hatred of women? Of
course you don't. What you are trying to do is to win an argument, not by
using actual logic, reasoning, and facts, but instead by throwing out ad
hominem attacks at anyone who disagrees with your stance. Look, it is fine
to be pro-choice, but if your only way of supporting your stance is by
throwing out insults, you shouldn't be a part of this discussion.

"Progressive" and "liberal' - never mind. You just dealt with it. I do argue
that we know nothing between conception and birth. I don't advocate
abortion as birth control. I am even okay with early limits at 12 weeks with
an opportunity for judicial intervention if necessary. But the primary reason
women reluctantly choose abortion is because they do not have the means
to support a child and the woman ends up with the pregnancy 100% of the
time. We cannot provide adequate oversight and protection for the children
already in foster care - and we certainly cannot support an additional one
million children. DNA [reasoning] means two individuals have less access
to furthering their careers or education -- less chance to put more in and
take less out. There is a balance and it can be done, but we have to get the
emotional and religious filter off, if we're going to make rational legislation
on this issue. I am also a classical liberal, as well; I had never heard a prolife
position not cloaked in religiosity. I thoroughly enjoy this series.

The abortion issue for me is: If a female has to give up her own life, she
must do it willingly. If men demand she gives birth, and if she dies in
childbirth, the man who forced her to have the child should be killed as well,
since he just forced her to die. As a female, I would rather focus on why
abortions are needed - not that they are needed.
