1. What part of this is relevant to the topic?

2. I don't even recall Obama being brought up prior to you, so referencing him now is completely incongruous, albeit your attitude alone shows that you are the type of person who is desperate to be heard not understood.

3. Do you even know how a bill gets passed?

4. I'll bite. How in the hell does it make sense for GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS who get FREE HEALTHCARE, for themselves and their families, paid for BY MY TAX DOLLARS, to have the AUDACITY to say the same money can't pay for a little sick girls ASHTMA INHALER?!?!?!?

The psychological impact is typically far greater for a birth mother who gives her baby up for adoption than it is for a woman who chooses abortion. The same pro-life advocates who believe in adoption for unplanned pregnancies also typically fail entirely to address this issue, so the women are left with massive psychological scars that, often, they have no tools to address.

I believe very firmly that it is absolutely no one else's business what she chooses in that situation

Personally, despite the fact that I would almost certainly birth a baby if I had an unplanned pregnancy (and might well give it up for adoption, even knowing what I do about the psychological impact of that choice),

Also, the studies on the issue show a much higher incidence of serious depression and addiction among women, who have had abortions, when compareed to women, who have chosen adoption.

So, what would your answer be for me?

oh gees .. again I am gonnah bring the status quo another spin on spun... I believe that men are more tolerant of an opposing opinion.. when they want the cookie .. they will bend over backwards and do somersaults to get the "cookie" .. women on the other hand do not appreciate the informed consequence of a very indepth education on the science behind the race .. and when opinionate without fact will attack like a killer bee trying to be queen of a contrived hive!!! My mother and I had extremely opposing views on abortion.. mine being of reading every available piece of data on the subject .. her opinion being formed via her own opinion without fact.. an emotional opinion.. on an emotional subject.

I will say that women are more passionate about their mates being on the same page .. plenty of men go to church to get "the cookie" who are not the least bit religious.. they will disguise interest for disinterest.. hmm to hear the hum of the vagina hymns later.. like after the pew visit!! . Women are very much less inclined to stay in a relationship of long term with a male with opposing views.. it appears from all of the lifers I know.. and most are incredibly dysfunctional relationships the man will agree to disagree if he is getting " the cookie". So intellectual control whether it is real or faked .. is for women a reason to hand out and deliver " the cookie"... too much of the wrong to get dong control for this .. vagina monologger.. I ain't afraid to go logger heads on the subject .. and give footnotes but not many have delved into the research beyond an emotional decision on the issue of abortion... and this subject is far more complex than most care to explore.

No, most pro-lifers do not look at any health condition as any excuse as to why there is a reason to terminate a pregnancy.

Also, the studies on the issue show a much higher incidence of serious depression and addiction among women, who have had abortions, when compareed to women, who have chosen adoption.

To say that a woman has the final word, or that she has an unquestioned legal right to choose abortion is simply fact. To say, though, that the father of the unborn child has "no business" expressing an opinion, or attempting to change her mind, is, I think to deny the obvious "business" that a man has in terms of his progeny.

namrael --- I think he has every right to express his opinion; however, since she is the one who would be carrying that baby to term, giving birth, etc., it is her right to make the final decision. I think it's unethical both to attempt to manipulate a woman into carrying a baby to term

This is what happens, when the OP stops participating in his own thread. It seems that the dingbats, who just can't seem to stay on topic, are insistent on ruining the thread.

So if I were posting here more....he would stop sounding like an raving lunatic?

I have always been pro-choice, and will stay pro-choice. Since it is the woman who has to carry the baby, it should be her decision on what to do with a pregnancy if she doesn't want it. It is her body.

apainlessend, although I agree with you in spirit, men CAN sign away their parental rights. I'm not sure of the circumstances surrounding this legal action, but I know someone who did it.

I think if people actually knew what abortion was, they might rethink the decision. This is why pro-life advocates would often picket with signs bearing the images of abortion. Incidentally that's what I was referring to when I said they did the same sort of "stunts" PETA does.
