We have one party that recognizes that killing healthy babies in the wombs of healthy mothers is murder.
And we have another party that recognizes that we need to do more to provide for young mothers and help parents in general stay sane, so that children are well provided for and grow up without abuse.
I wish there was one party I could vote for that knew both of these 


It’s a shame that most of these dudes are dudes. What right do you have to tell to another human being what they can and can’t do with their bodies? Not to mention the costs as one poster mentioned. 

Republicans are masterminds at getting the public behind them. 

Pro choice? How about Pro life 
BLM? How about all lives matter
Free Medicare? How about that’s a death panel

It’s like nuance doesn’t exist for them, it’s just black and white

Lol, pathetic.

It's quite simple. You don't want a kid, then shut your legs. Then there are plenty of other things that lower the odds greatly and you can even get them for free. You have full control, but there are reactions to your choices.

People making grownup choices have to face grownup results/consequences. If you don't want or can't raise a kid, there are plenty of free options but people don't even want to do that.

I wouldn't say shutting your legs is the first thing to do.
The ego and the superego decide that they want babies, but the id is what goes about making them. And this is not just idle speculation on my part. Studies repeatedly show that abstinence only education actually results in more sexual activity, and with less precautions.

What I am in favor of is birth control. Anything that keeps the egg and sperm from coming together. Let people have their fun, but teach them what's available to manage fun times.  

Obamacare is a flawed program on many levels, but the best thing it did, was reduce the number of abortions, by giving more girls of all income levels access to birth control.

Well, as long as you can create an economic justification for murder then we should get to work on old people who cost way more than kids.

It's not murder. They aren't a person yet. Is cake batter considered a cake? Of course not. Is dough considered bread? No again.

I think bc is $4 @ walmart.  This whole idea of "someone else must pay for it" is childish.  Over half the black pregnancies in the city of NY end in abortion.  Highest taxes, biggest welfare net, worst results.  

Abortion isn't about wealth or poverty.  Its about nihilism.

That may be the way things should be, but it's not the reality of the situation. Unfortunately, you cannot force people to be responsible human beings.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself bud. That you have to compare human life to food with your absurd analogy spells out how immoral your position really is.

Interesting that you cannot force people to be responsible for their own actions but you force other people to pay for others irresponsible actions.

I would gladly give Dems free birth control and morning after pills, if they would give up abortion after 4 weeks with the exception to save the life of the mother.

4 weeks? Many women don't know they're pregnant at 4 weeks.

Cake batter will NEVER have human rights.  Fully baked or in proto mix form.  

Conversely, human rights are ENDOWED BY OUR CREATOR.  u don't get to set an arbitrary timetable.

That's the point. Early for cases like rape or incest.

I don't see it as a deal.  
Both things reduce abortion.  Birth control, and a stricter ban.  One or the other or both are all good choices.  It's like if the boss offers you a steak dinner, and you're saying "sure, but you have to throw in a lobster too or no deal."

It's not immoral at all. It's common sense. Some people don't have it. Are you willing to adopt some unwanted babies if this law gets overturned?

I don't force anybody to do anything. I don't make rules. I have no power at all.

Agreed. That's extremely unrealistic. I could see after the first trimester, but 4 weeks is ridiculous.

You do know there is a separation of church and state. Many people like myself belief human rights don't apply, because it's not considered a human until it takes a breathe outside of the womb.

I just love how a bunch of men are arguing about this. /sarcasm

The government should never be involved in this decision. I don't support abortion except in some circumstances, but the government has no business forcing women to give birth to children they don't want. Period. If you've never given up a baby for adoption you have no idea- NO IDEA- what you're talking about when you say, "Oh, they can just put it up for adoption." BS. It's not that simple, especially for babies that aren't white.

And for you judgemental pricks; not every woman gets pregnant by consensual sex, BC is not 100% effective, and tell me the last time you lived a perfect life without mistakes. So shut up. You are the reason women needed RBG on the SC in the first place. I may not have agreed with her politics but she made sure women had a choice in a time we were still considered second class citizens.

This is all I'm saying on the subject so don't expect an argument.

That’s such a silly argument. Why am I responsible for directly caring for other people that choose not to care for the people they just birthed? That entire argument requires that, if you don’t want something to happen (pick anything), then you have to be responsible for everything that happens. 

All those things you say will rise is based on conjecture. You don’t know that. If it’s OK to kill them before they’re born, why stop afterward? We could eliminate a lot of hungry kids if we compassionately euthanized all these poor children. I understand that you don’t believe them to be human yet, but the justification you gave is outside of that. You cited abuses, crimes, and suffering as justifiable reasons, and If those are good reasons to eliminate life then it shouldn’t matter when it’s eliminated.

Bottom line with this supreme court justice show down is that who ever wins will set the rules and if that happens, things are about to change. Nobody is respecting history and previouly respected on norms. It's all about power now for sure. Dems will retaliate when and if they get the senate and then eventually Republicans will fire back. The extremes win and the moderates suffer
