Title: On Roe V. Wade Anniversary, Abortion Foes Increasingly Confident of 'Cultural Sh
Post by: Dos Equis on January 22, 2011, 01:42:52 PM
Not sure there is much of a changing trend.  I think the majority of Americans have disagreed with Obama's (and Planned Parenthood's) view on abortion for quite a while. 

On Roe V. Wade Anniversary, Abortion Foes Increasingly Confident of 'Cultural Shift'
Published January 22, 2011 | FoxNews.com

Anti-abortion activists in America head into their annual March for Life rallies confident that the huge election gains their allies made will lead to tougher restrictions in many states on the broad abortion access established 38 years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Opponents of abortion gained strength in Congress, among state governors and in many state legislatures, raising hopes among social conservatives for a broad surge of anti-abortion bills.

"We are seeing a cultural shift toward protecting life and rolling back the tide of unrestricted abortions, said Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, in a statement ahead of Saturday's anniversary of the 1973 ruling.

Yoest and her allies have particularly high hopes for three types of bills under consideration in several states:

--Measures modeled after a Nebraska law passed last year that outlaws abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, based on the assertion that fetuses can feel pain after that point. That's a departure from the standards set by the Supreme Court decision Roe v Wade, which allow states to limit abortions when there's a viable chance the fetus could survive outside the womb, generally between 22 and 24 weeks.

--Bills requiring women to have an ultrasound prior to an abortion. Some versions would also require doctors to describe the ultrasound image of the fetus to the woman.

--Laws prohibiting abortion coverage in health insurance plans offered by the new state exchanges that are to commence in 2014 under President Obama's health care overhaul. Five states passed such measures last year; more may follow suit.

In many states, prospects for passage of such measures are bright, although they may face court challenges. NARAL Pro-Choice America, a leading abortion-rights group, said there are now 29 anti-abortion governors out of 50 -- an increase of eight, including 15 in states where abortion opponents also control both legislative chambers.

"In those states in particular, there are almost no pro-choice checks and balances," said Donna Crane, NARAL's director of public policy.

While abortion-rights supporters traditionally hold commemorations of the court decision, the anniversary has become an even higher-profile date for the anti-abortion movement. Its major event, the March for Life in Washington, D.C., is scheduled this year to take place on Monday -- not the anniversary itself -- while other events are scheduled throughout the weekend nationwide.

Obama issued a statement Saturday reaffirming his commitment to protecting abortion rights.

"I also remain committed to policies, initiatives, and programs that help prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant women and mothers, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption," he said.

"And on this anniversary, I hope that we will recommit ourselves more broadly to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights, the same freedoms, and the same opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams."

On both sides of the debate, the mood contrasts sharply with 2009 and 2010.

Two years ago, the anniversary came two days after Obama's inauguration -- a time of enthusiasm among abortion-rights supporters, who tend to vote Democratic. A year ago, the anniversary coincided with the first day of testimony in the murder trial of Scott Roeder, who was later convicted of killing late-term abortion provider Dr. George Tiller at his church in Wichita, Kansas.

Kansas is now one of the states where anti-abortion activists hope for dramatic legislative gains.

Its new governor, Republican Sam Brownback, is an ardent foe of abortion who has made clear he will sign restrictive measures that his Democratic predecessors vetoed. Anti-abortion activists hope to advance bills that would further restrict late-term procedures, increase reporting requirements for abortion providers, and make it harder for abortion clinics to be licensed.

In several other states, Democratic governors who generally supported abortion rights were replaced by Republicans opposed to abortion, including the strategic swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

In Pennsylvania, the legislature is expected to convene hearings soon on why states agencies mishandled complaints about a Philadelphia abortion clinic run by a doctor now facing eight murder charges.

In some states, Republican governors and legislative leaders have said the message from the electorate on Nov. 2 was to concentrate on economics and job creation, and have signaled that social issues such as abortion should take a lower priority.

However, Daniel McConchie, vice president of government affairs for Americans United for Life, said there was no reason that Republican leaders couldn't tackle both the economy and abortion.

"For them to do nothing, when they have the opportunity to do something, I think would be problematic," he said. "Social conservatives are an integral part of the electorate."

At the federal level, anti-abortion forces scored significant gains in the House, and majority Republicans introduced two bills Thursday to toughen restrictions on taxpayer funding of abortions. One is aimed specifically at Obama's health care law; the other would establish a permanent, government-wide ban on federal subsidies for most abortions.

In addition, Republican Rep. Mike Pence has introduced a bill that would ban federal family-planning grants to any organization that performs abortions. It is aimed at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, a health care provider and advocate of reproductive rights that last year, according to Pence, received more than $363 million in government grants and contracts while performing 324,008 abortions.

Abortion-rights supporters are nonetheless dismayed by their foes' clout in the House, though these measures might fail to clear the Senate, and would likely face a presidential veto if they did advance.

"We're taking all these threats very seriously," said Planned Parenthood public policy analyst Emily Stewart. "It's a crazy time, with a lot of stuff up in the air."

looks like you're right

There's really been no major shift on either side since late ~ 1998

Obama recalls Roe v. Wade, backs abortion rights
By David Jackson, USA TODAY



President Obama waves as he walks past the Marine One helicopter on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday. Obama backed abortion rights Saturday in a statement about the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.CAPTIONBy Yuri Gripas, AFP/Getty ImagesPresident Obama echoed his support for abortion rights today, the 38th anniversary of the Supreme Court's pro-choice decision in Roe v. Wade.

"Government should not intrude on private family matters," Obama said in a statement, adding that he also supports policies to prevented "unintended pregnancies."

The president made his statement as thousands of abortion opponents planned annual March for Life rallies, with many hoping that the new Republican-run House will enact new restrictions on the practice.

"We are seeing a cultural shift toward protecting life and rolling back the tide of unrestricted abortions," said Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life.

Obama's statement:

Today marks the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that protects women's health and reproductive freedom, and affirms a fundamental principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters.

I am committed to protecting this constitutional right. I also remain committed to policies, initiatives, and programs that help prevent unintended pregnancies, support pregnant women and mothers, encourage healthy relationships, and promote adoption.

And on this anniversary, I hope that we will recommit ourselves more broadly to ensuring that our daughters have the same rights, the same freedoms, and the same opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.

NO NO NO, i want you to have to choice but if women get a choice to walk away from their child so should men

if its the womens choice then she and SHE ALONE(because its her choice alone) should be responsible for her actions...the man should only pay child support if he chooses to

First - why do you keep calling me "MORAN"

You're so fucking stupid you can't even spell your insults correctly

Second, you do this all the time.  You make some, vague, often incomprehensible statement and then ask someone to disprove it.    This tactic is just a variation of the argument from ignorance.  If you want to make an assertion then PROVE it yourself.   

btw - here's a little tip for you to keep for future reference.

Every time you type the word "logic" you should take that as a sign that you've just said something stupid

You're all about making things "fair" so how are we going to offset the burden that women face from pregnancy and childbirth.

The discomfort, the hormonal changes, not being able to drink,  the time off from work, the changes to their body, and the big one....the potential of death

Men don't have to deal with any of those issues.

Until we find a way that the woman can give the fetus to the man for him to carry to term then woman will always have the much larger burden and will have choices that men don't get

stop whining like a child and grow up

If you can't be responsible for your actions as an adult male then don't have sex

LOL its from some show, you have to ask hugo about it thats who i came across "moran" it is supposed to be spelled that way in reference to the way the person said it i think iono, ask huggy

LOL you cited a chart of ppl claiming if they are pro life or pro choice to state how nothing has really changed in regards to ppl wanting more or less regulation brain child

ppl can still be pro choice and want more regulation cant they? YES THEY CAN!!!!!!!

so simply b/c there hasnt been much change in the ppl that align themselves with pro choice or life doesnt mean there isnt a greater change in those ppl that want more regulation...

LOGIC... :D ;) ;D

2nd, 9 months gestation doesnt equal 18 YEARS child support

First of he has no say of whether she goes through those risks or not, So why should he have to do anything?

but I did suggest something about splitting the costs, right now the man isnt responsible for any of the costs during pregnancy that i know of...it could take monetary form while pregnant but would stop after pregnancy since it was her sole choice to give birth

The only thing that graph shows is American's overall position on abortion and the question is written as follows:

"With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life"

That's it

You're the one who introduced the idea that people who are pro-choice could also want "more regulution" (and never bothered to provide any detail as to what regulartion or any support for your statement)

then you asked me to disprove your vague assumption by writing:

I mentioned monetary costs b/c that is a possible way to even out the "unfairness" you see...

again how can it be unfair if the guy has no say as to what the female does? its her choice not his...

but like i said paying for half of the costs would be a way to compensate her for that or a lump sum.

LOL exactly but you see THEY TREND IN YOUR GRAPH was whether they considered themselves pro choice or pro life

the article and beaches post was about how they felt in regards stricter legislation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b]


NOT THEIR STANCE ON BEING PRO CHOICE OR PRO LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why the caps and bold ?

are you angry?

frustrated?

try to calm down and pay attention

I was responding to Bums statement that he wasnt' sure there was much of a changing trend

I provide a graph to show that pro-choice vs pro-life percentages hadn't really changed much since 1998

You are the one who introduced the anti-intuitive assertion that people who are pro-choice might also be for more regulation (i.e. less choice).   You provided no proof to support your claim and there is nothing in the article to support your claim.

the only portion of the article that addresses the views of a segment of the pro-choice group does not in any way support your claim and in fact shows the opposite....that they are pushing back against legislation that encrouches on their position

Quote
Abortion-rights supporters are nonetheless dismayed by their foes' clout in the House, though these measures might fail to clear the Senate, and would likely face a presidential veto if they did advance.

"We're taking all these threats very seriously," said Planned Parenthood public policy analyst Emily Stewart. "It's a crazy time, with a lot of stuff up in the air."

So.....we're left with your claim, for which you provided no evidence to support, and which makes no sense ( you never explained why pro-choice people would want less choice) and is actually contrary to the response from statement by pro-choice groups in the article......and you've asked me to essentially prove you're wrong

I can't really make this any more clear for you

if you want to make a claim then the burden of proof is on you to support your claim

LOL you drunk?

I mentioned monetary costs b/c that is a possible way to even out the "unfairness" you see...
again how can it be unfair if the guy has no say as to what the female does? its her choice not his...

but like i said paying for half of the costs would be a way to compensate her for that or a lump sum.

I didn't mention it because it's the simplest of the issues to even out

both parties need share equal financial responsiblity and that's pretty easy to figure out

Now how are you going to even out all the other issues I mentioned

your entire argument is about fairness right

here's the list again -tell me how you are going to make this fair for the woman


You're all about making things "fair" so how are we going to offset the burden that women face from pregnancy and childbirth.

The discomfort, the hormonal changes, not being able to drink,  the time off from work, the changes to their body, and the big one....the potential of death

Men don't have to deal with any of those issues.

Until we find a way that the woman can give the fetus to the man for him to carry to term then woman will always have the much larger burden and will have choices that men don't get

stop whining like a child and grow up

If you can't be responsible for your actions as an adult male then don't have sex


why can't we hold women to the same standard?  we don't.  we allow them a way out.  abortion.  there is no out for men.  that's his point.......that you keep missing.

yes there is a danger to the mother at childbirth.  in this day and age a very very very manageable and preventable one.  don't give me that shit.  how many women died during childbirth last year?  i believe the rate is about .00013 per 100,000 births this year.

NO NO NO, i want you to have to choice but if women get a choice to walk away from their child so should men

if its the womens choice then she and SHE ALONE(because its her choice alone) should be responsible for her actions...the man should only pay child support if he chooses to

Okay let me see if I'm grasping at straws or something. So let's say, she wants to keep the child but the man says to terminate he should be off the hook?

Please tell me I'm misunderstanding this

It's about abortion

As you pointed out in your first post there doesn't seem to be any significant change the % of people who are pro choice vs those who are anti abortion (I prefer that term as it's much more accurate than "pro-life" without the obvious pejorative overtones)

bears,

Great post and I agree as long as BOTH parents live in the same househould. But if a single mother or father has full custody then the burden shifts way more on the parent with sole custody. Not to dimenish the parent that has visitation or the alike but the burden does weigh more heavy on the custodial parent. I do believe Straw meant childbirth.

yup or he should pay some lump sum not a % of his pay check...

the women has the right to terminate his child right now without his say doesnt she?(rhetorical question so straw doesnt think im asking you to prove my argument)

we give women the right to walk away from the child but not the man

we could make it were the man had to split bills while she was pregnant but after that it was HER CHOICE ALONE to do so and SHE ALONE if the man chooses to "abort" the child should not be held responsible

thats the only thing I've been talking about and the only point of my post was to refute the ridiculous view that Tony holds that the woman has some unfair advantage over men.

If you're a responsible adult man (or a woman)  then you know the rules before you start playing the game

if you don't like the rules then don't play the game

when the day comes when the woman can give the fetus to the man for him to carry and deliver then we can change the rules

until that time the woman will always have the larger burden in pregnancy than the man and will have the option of getting an abortion

honestly, I think the woman should inform the father. If they can't agree on what to do, then he gets to walk away free. LOVELY...Also, if an abortion is to be done, I think both parents should be made to sign something that says that. How someone can walk away from a child is beyond my relm of comprehension.

She didn't open her legs and knock herself up. Just because a man doesn't want a child but if you play and weren't taking precautions, then both should be responsible if one or both want to keep the child.

I don't agree with the lump sum thing. But that's your opinion and appreciate it

it's not like she can walk away (have an abortion) and he is still on the line

maybe if the woman doesn't want to be pregant she can just give the fertilized egg to the man and he can do whatever he wants with it

that would be fair don't you think?

A friend of mine really didn't want a child but the father sure as hell did. She kept it and turned over the child right at birth. Never saw the child again not even after delivery She pays the father monthly because she believes that is the fair thing to do and they never once went to court. She was on birth control as well.

I think it most cases people will act like responsible adults and be guided by their own values on how to handle this type of situation

Okay. Like I said before, I firmly (didn't say firmly earlier) believe should sign some sort of document should be signed both acknowledging terminating the unborn fetus. If she doesn't want shit from him then don't put his name on the birth certificate. So if both parties don't want the child but the mother is on birth control, they should have put the child up for adoption?. You do know how many kids are in the system at the present time.

sorry mom but modern contraception is 99.999% effective and the VAST VAST MAJORITY of abortions are elective and not for health purposes...

meaning that of those elective abortions in the US 99.999% were preventable...

this makes your scenario very very obscure

I agree with you though on the number of kids within the system and if im ever in a place financially to afford it i will certainly adopt

but that fact doesnt validate the unfairness in the systme mom

Wait a second.

Is relentless socialist Strawgirl arguing that the best way to prevent poor, uneducated slobs from increasing the national debt and draining this country's budget, is to prevent them from reproducing in the first place?

Gee whiz-- instead of killing the baby, why not simply shoot all poor people so they can't reproduce?

But then a thought emerges-- The democratic party would become obsolete over night. So, for Dems the next best thing is to promote abortion. That way they can cut the legs off of organized religion and claim they are fighting for reproductive rights as well. Pretty ingenuous. However, it is organized religion that preaches abstinence in the first place; seemingly there is a catch 22.

But... we are talking about liberals here. Contradictions are a source of their strength and ideology.

However, it is organized religion that preaches abstinence in the first place; seemingly there is a catch 22.

But... we are talking about liberals here. Contradictions are a source of their strength and ideology.

of course not but given that you're a moron it's not suprising you would think so

was does "walk away" mean to you in terms of the Dad and in terms of the Mother

do you mean the same thing in both cases?
goodness gracious bro weve gone over this to many times to count

the mother aborts the child

seeing as men cannot physically abort the child, they should be given a equal option...as in doing away with any financial obligation to the child in return for giving up any legal right to that child

So killing the babies of poor uneducated slobs is preferable to prevent them from reproducing? How about sterility for all non whites earning less than 45k per year? That seems like something you would support.

In spite of what you've written below I know you're going to tell me you're not in favor of forcing women to give birth if they don't want the child

correct?


LOL bro goodness gracious I feel he should have to pay for his children I also feel that if a women is pregnant she should have to have the child unless its for medical reasons...but if youre going to allow the mother the opportunity to walk away you should logically give the man a chance to walk away...

again strawman argument

no he should have to pay for his children and thats the way it is, thats why we have courts to force ppl to pay...

lol and what of the potential fathers that wanted children that were denied by the mothers who had abortions?

So you are basically saying that only selective fathers can have the right to walk from the obligation and responsibility to pay for their children, but not Crackhead Ted?

On what basis is this founded and considered a balanced measure of who can and can't have this option extended to them under your scenario?

we're  talking about pregnancy and childbirth

pregnancy and childbirth is a MUCH bigger burden for the woman than the man



OK yes i guess you're right.  Labor is harder for them.  But you think that because the actual hour of labor is harder on my wife I should have no say in anything that has to do with MY child?  I should just shut the fuck up and pay for everything and thank her for letting me be a part of her and her child's life?  This is seriously like arguing with my old psycho girlfriend in college.  This shit that you are saying makes sense to you?  Do you have any opinions of your own or do you just refer to Rachel Maddow for any and all questions on life?

cool.  i'm not necessarily anti abortion.  i'm just anti - they allow abortion now so who gives a fuck about personal responsibility.  I also hate the fact that, in my opinion, too many leftist pro choice people view pregnancy as something that happened TO a girl, and not something she chose to do. 

I am a firm believer in personal reponsibility.  I feel that if a man or woman is doing adult things like sex, it comes with adult responsibilities.  And I do believe that late term abortion is murder.  period.  i've seen my boys when they were 20 weeks old.  They were human beings.  plain and simple.  And I can't overlook that because abortion makes shit easy for people.

Yet, in the previous post of yours that I quoted, you said the opposite.  That Crackhead Ted shouldn't be allowed to walk away.  You want men to have the right to sign over all parental rights but yet you expect Crackhead Ted to support his nine kids.  What if he says I don't want to be father.  Bye.  Then what?  By your own basis he should be allowed to walk away to the next baby making machine he meets.

You can't engage in a debate when you are constantly contradicting yourself.

Watching you run in circles pretty much tells the rest of us you have no argument or no way to at least articulate it a way that isn't counter productive to your own viewpoint you are trying to express.

the problem is you've previously stated that if women have the right to "walk away" ( I presume this means the right to have an abortion) then men should get something you consider to be equivalent.

Do you believe this or not?

The reason I ask is because you've said it or alluded to a few times on this thread and many times on previousl threads about abortion:

yup or he should pay some lump sum not a % of his pay check...

the women has the right to terminate his child right now without his say doesnt she?(rhetorical question so straw doesnt think im asking you to prove my argument)

we give women the right to walk away from the child but not the man
we could make it were the man had to split bills while she was pregnant but after that it was HER CHOICE ALONE to do so and SHE ALONE if the man chooses to "abort" the child should not be held responsible


as do I but then again i also think the right thing to do if you get pregnant and your health isnt at risk is to have the child.

as of right now the rights arent equal, She made the decision to have the baby, not him SHE DID

if she had decided to not have the baby, what would the father have gotten? SHAFT

and if she wants the baby and he doesnt...SHAFT

LOL sorry bro 9 months gestation doesnt equal 18 years of child support payments  ::)

I don't want to butt in .. but I am not understanding where it's right to make some guy be a father .. I think it's totally unfair that a female can get knocked up and choose to have an abortion no matter if the father wants the baby .. "it's her body .. blah blah "

Why is it acceptable then that a man is not given that same opportunity ? .. it should be equal .. women fought for "equal" rights

If the pregnancy is already there ... why does ANY woman think that ANY man would be a father of any sort when he's made it clear he doesn't want anything to do with it ? .. if she wants the baby .. pay for it herself .. get a job .. and he's erased from the whole thing forever

who would want their child getting money from and or visits from some guy who was against having it ?

that's just asking for unnecessary grief and possibly future issues with the child .. sure grow up and know Dad didn't want you and was MADE to pay for your dentist bills .. he hated having to take you to the park but HAD to visit every week .. no friggin way would I want that for any child to deal with

I think part of the problem is your poor writing skills

who says "if she is meant to keep the child then he is meant to be to be financially responsible for it"

let's review two potential scenarios and assume they are all happening now within our current legal system:

Scenario #1:  A woman get's pregnant and doesn't want to have a child so she get's an abortion thus neither person has any ongoing obligation

Secnario #2:  A woman get's pregnant and, like yourself, is opposed to abortion so has the child and let's say in this example the man does not want the child.  Should he be financially responsible for the child or not?


from reading your prior posts I would have to assume your answer to scenario #2 would be  both YES and NO

which one is it ?

lol sorry im sick and a tad loopy from the night time tylenol...

to answer your question to #2 it depends on whether she had the choice to have an abortion or not

if yes she did have the choice, then the man should also have the choice

if no then, no

i think youre getting confused b/c youre taking post out of context. I feel that men should take care of their children forcefully if needed, I also feel women should take care of their children forcefully if needed.

but if you give one the opportunity to walk away you logically in fairness need to give the other the opportunity to walk away

you dont get to have it both ways

notice w8m8 quote "women fought for equal rights"?

the only problem is that reality is not equal and there is no way to make it equal (at least not one we've found yet)

it is the womans body and she is the one who has to endure pregnancy and birth

if the man does not want to deal with the potential of having to support a child that he doesn't want then all he has to do it make the choice to not have sex.    If he has sex he should always use a condom and be aware of the very slim odds that the condom will fail.   He could even talk with the woman about what she woudl want to do if she was to get pregant and if she says she would keep the kid then he can decide whether to have sex (take the chance or not)

If the women is opposed to abortion and does get pregnant then they are both financially responsible unless they choose to put it up for adoption

Most responsible adults can deal with those rules

i was going to say the same thing.  what if the woman wants to get an abortion and the man is against it?  "Don't kill my baby" he says.  "Fuck you", she tells him.  "I'm killing it.".  Now does the same rule apply to her?  She could have simply chosen not to have sex.  But now she is responsible for the man's child.  If he must own up and face the responsibility then she would have to as well.  Your scenario only accounts for the opposite.  Again, I hate how libs view pregnancy as something that happened TO the woman.  She made a chioce.  And if you say "well she gave has to give birth to the baby so she has the right to kill it" I just simply disagree and think that's just bullshit logic and unfair.

i think youre getting confused b/c youre taking post out of context. I feel that men should take care of their children forcefully if needed, I also feel women should take care of their children forcefully if needed.

but if you give one the opportunity to walk away you logically in fairness need to give the other the opportunity to walk away

you dont get to have it both ways

notice w8m8 quote "women fought for equal rights"?


from reading your prior posts I would have to assume your answer to scenario #2 would be  both YES and NO

which one is it ?


I said the example was within our current legal system so obviously that means she has the choice

I also said she was personally opposed to abortion (again indicating a choice on her part)

so I assume your answer is YES that the man get's to walk away and could simply do this over and over and leave the financial burden for supporting his children to the rest of us

i was going to say the same thing.  what if the woman wants to get an abortion and the man is against it?  "Don't kill my baby" he says.  "Fuck you", she tells him.  "I'm killing it.".  Now does the same rule apply to her?  She could have simply chosen not to have sex.  But now she is responsible for the man's child.  If he must own up and face the responsibility then she would have to as well.  Your scenario only accounts for the opposite.  Again, I hate how libs view pregnancy as something that happened TO the woman.  She made a chioce.  And if you say "well she gave has to give birth to the baby so she has the right to kill it" I just simply disagree and think that's just bullshit logic and unfair.

I guess we can either lock up women and force them to give birth or we can let the man father as many kids as he wants without taking any responsiblity and thus shift the burden of responsibility to the taxpayer

I think the best solution would be for the woman to give the man the fertilized egg and let him do whatever he wants with it.

there are also other options bro its not so black and white

if the women wants to have an abortion and the man doesnt have her pay some monetary amount. If you want to get real ironic have her pay a % of her pay check for 18 years...

this is not actually a problem in the real world

If a man wants children he'll probalby be smart enough to find a woman who wants to have children with him.

lol sorry straw either they both get a choice or neither should

so basically this is your round about way of saying you're opposed to abortion ?

you keep arguing the current system is "unfair" and the only two solutions you have are to change the abortion laws (i.e. forcing women to have children they don't want) or letting the men walk away

that pretty much sums up your position right?

there is no good answer.  bad things happen.  we have the choice.  make adults take responsibility for their behavior or kill babies.  we live in a culture that opts to kill babies.  why?  well because they can't see who they are killing.  no one ever knew who they are killing.  makes everything a lot easier and a shitload more fun.  i mean it's not like I don't get it.  i totally get why abortion makes life easier for everyone.  but that doesn't necessarily make it right in my mind.

If a woman is raped, becomes pregnant and then has the child; at which point before or after the birth the police apprehend the rapist and he is convicted and sent to prison, will the victim recieve child support derived from the incarcerated father or are all parental responsibilities forefited (including the responsibility to pay support) at the moment the defendant is convicted of rape?

Speaking the truth, again.  This is part of the problem with the abortion question.  People dehumanize the baby to help justify killing it.  On the other hand, many pro life people ignore the woman's bodily integrity issue.

the medical community is in disagreement on what a late term abortion is.  they all know that it's a baby.  they just don't have a set number of weeks into gestation where the baby is viable.  because thats what the definition of "late term" comes from.  so i guess thats what i meant when i said the medical community is not in agreement on whether its a baby.  of course they know its a baby.  thats why they do ultrasounds and tests on the fetus.  if it wasn't a baby, why the hell would they be doing tests on it?

half the country is in favor of abortion.  they don't ALL lie to themselves that its not actually a baby.

Also, she wasn't choosing to have an abortion given that she was very fair along and intended to have the baby I would definitely say it was murder

when i asked you how far along a woman needed to be for you to call it murder.  thats essentially a moral question.  you responded with whatever the number is where you can't legally get an abortion.  thats just weak on so many levels.

It not my choice what to call something murder and it's not yours either

we dont' call bombing innocent people murder but I would call it that if it were my choice

I would call the Peterson case murder of the baby because she was beyond the point where she could get a legal abortion and becasue she had no intention of getting an abortion

if he did the same thing in 2003 before Bush signed The Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004 straw would have had no problem with what he did.  Straw would have deferred to the law and concluded that Scott Peterson only killed one person.

But on the flip side of this Straw, their have been cases and again I'm not going to google or go to lexus nexus to get court cases or anything. But some men have murdered a woman who was pregnant at 3 months along (think it was florida) and got absolute shit for the unborn baby. She wanted the child he didn't.

not at that time.  depended upon what state you lived in at that time.  At that time you could kill a baby as long as it didnt take a breath in a lot of states.  so they pull a 30 week old baby out of the womb breach on purpose and smash the brains with forceps.  baby never took a breath.  therefore it is NOT a baby.  nice and neat.  although there are a few cases of the baby surviving.  in which case that logic simply folds.

the man is held responsible

so I ask you again how do we hold women responsible?

the medical community is in disagreement on what a late term abortion is.  they all know that it's a baby.  they just don't have a set number of weeks into gestation where the baby is viable.  because thats what the definition of "late term" comes from.  so i guess thats what i meant when i said the medical community is not in agreement on whether its a baby.  of course they know its a baby.  thats why they do ultrasounds and tests on the fetus.  if it wasn't a baby, why the hell would they be doing tests on it?

half the country is in favor of abortion.  they don't ALL lie to themselves that its not actually a baby.

you are just playing with words now because your logic is just not standing on firm ground.

you're a lawyer?

You're a swift one aren't you. ::)

And Newmom-- For a scant 3 thousand dollar per month investment, you too can experience a restricted Lexis Nexis account. Or we can sift through the trash of a local law school and look for a lexis nexis law student access code card that will give us full account privileges for free. I'll do my part. I happen to stalk a cafeteria worker at Fordham law school from my silver tinted white Dodge Astro van 3-5x per week. I know exactly where and when there is garbage removal. Care to join me on a date? I keep a can of "Oust" in the passengers seat next to my duct tape and pepper spray. We could grab some takeout from the 24 hour KFC/ Pizza Hut two blocks away from campus.

LMAO you dink. I have full access to lexis (my old paralegal teachers give me the password). The only time I sniff through garbage is when I'm looking for something I may or may not have thrown out. Capeesh? Comprende? ;D. I don't care for KFC nor do I like cheese so that date is NOT good. Perhaps Benny's Burritos on 6th and C..just a short walk from the V or F line ;D

not to get off subject but is that what is also at White Castle. They don't have any where I live and haven't been to one for a couple of years. The fish nibblers don't sound appetizing and why ruining yummy jalepenos with cheese...gross
