    Just tell everyone that Abortion is the same as the holocaust. That will get you far.

    My reaction to when i first heard about that little story on the videos, "Uhh what the fuck, did someone just compare Abortion to the holocaust, the fuck is wrong with people"

    If you willfully have sex, you know the consequences and must abide by the consequences like it or not. However, if you were raped and get pregnant, well you never had the option to not get raped and therefore you should not have to have the baby if you do not want to.

    Most Americans are, "pro-choice, but...". They are only ok with abortions in certain cases.

    I fucking hate this debate, it leads nothing to two sides yelling and arguing and no intelligent conversation is achieved, worse of all people defend there abortion sides to the death (Litterly had a fight with a former girlfriend over this topic that lead to us breaking up) and then there the politicians that think this is the biggest issue we have, no its not lets get off this high horse abortion bullshit and deal with things that really matter.

    I'm not pro choice or Pro Life, I'm Pro-SHUT THE FUCK UP.

    I don't see what the fuss is all about, if a mother doesn't want to have someone's basterd child, then she should be able to get an abortion... I am sure it's alot safer than beating her with sticks when she's 6 months pregnant or the mother poisioning herself in some desperate attempt to avoid having a baby.

    She can just give it up for adoption. And like I said if it threatens her life I see no problem with her getting an abortion.

    Whole adoption thing is one big gamble, and an utterly irresponsible thing to do. My stance is if you don't want it get rid of it before it becomes a problem.

    You can put it up for adoption pretty easily, you know. And I don't see how the idea of them doing dangerous methods because they're not willing to use the many alternatives to abortion is worthy of consideration.

    I'm glad you came to the abortion thread to bitch about how pointless it apparently is. You even wrote a pretty big post to do it from.

    Why should you deny the baby life for no other reason than you do not want it? Put it up for adoption if the baby is not threatening your life or if you were not raped. If you willingly have sex you should understand and accept the consequences.

    Ok, next time you masturbate remember you are denying life for millions of babies for no other reason then pleasure. Have you seen a sperm? Its alive. It has a tail and everything. Its human and its alive, so its human life and you are ending it. So, should we ban masturbation? Or should we raise that line a bit higher? How about conception? Yeah, but those cells are not much different then a sperm. Maybe 10 weeks? But then the fetus is attached by the umbilical cord, its health is dependent on her health, and cannot be considered as a separate entity as it cannot exist outside a womb. How about when it can survive outside a womb?

    2% of unmarried women at any age place their child for adoption. Birth tends to create that bond that wasn't there before, so they make a decision that often leads to a life of misery fore both of them.
    Only 8% of women who have abortions do not use any form of birth control. Why should the rest be punished?
    Approximately 80% of all abortions involve embryos at age of 10 weeks or less. 1% are late term abortions.
    USA greatly restricts sex education in high school, and has one of the highest abortion rates among industrialized countries.

    I could write more but its getting late, plus abortion debates are tiring.

    I think you can chalk up the above debate with the following song.

    No it's not. Everyone masturbates after a certain age unless they don't have working hands or genitals.
