Anti-abortionists: How many kids have YOU adopted to raised into loved and responsible adults? It's not about infants, it's about the whole person forever.

two so far... and you?

Someone should abort her speech,, she will not see it as a choice then...

atheistswillrule: Why are women so weak that they cannot "the rights of self determination over their own reproductive health." PRIOR to conception? Irakydarb2

Sorry, your moralizing and anti-woman sentiments don't fly. What about couples where contraception fails? Should they be forced to have the baby when they took steps to not get pregnant? What about a teenager who is experimenting and becomes pregnant? Afe you going to force her to have the child and ruin her life? " Irresponsible " sexual activity or not, it is not YOUR place to deny a woman the right to an abortion.

atheistswillrule: Why are women so weak that they cannot "the rights of self determination over their own reproductive health." PRIOR to conception? And don't bring up rape. I will give you the 5% of rape victims if you give me the 95% of irresponsible sexual activity.

how convenient they don't bother to mention that 'Roe' is now a strong pro-life advocate :) friendlyman

ROE ( Norma McCorvey) was simply the catalyst for the lawsuit. Her plight represented the plight of many women. Roe was never help up as a model citizen. In fact, by age 21 she had been pregnant 3 times. She turned lesbian for many years, she turned Catholic , she met an evangelical minister. She is now anti-abortion. Her vacillations do not take away from the legal argument of women deserving the rights of self determination over their own reproductive health.

God bless our society - amazing how we can justify anything!

Such a sad legacy to bear. The cycle of poverty and neglect is no better without these precious children. Death does not bring "life" to any part of our society. pmck

Sorry, but I have a niece who was pregnant at 15. She had an abortion and I am glad she did. She has since graduated high school with honors as well as Duke University and is now a child psychologist. But people like you would have forced her into having the baby, shamed her for having a baby out of wedlock and more or less ruined her future. Tell you what, there are 1000's of orphans in this state right now, how about adopting a few instead of pointing your finger at others for making their own choices.

I have seen enough babies born addicted to drugs and the terrible suffering they go through to know that death would have been a blessing. I support a woman's right to chose.
