First, stop abortion

First, stop abortion


It’s time for us to wake up. We’ve been sleeping since 1973.

Abortion must end first, before any other form of terrorism ever will.


Old Forge, Pa.

I'm just not understanding your logic. Terrorism existed long before abortion was legal in the United States.
In fact lack of access to safe and legal abortion was used for centuries to terrorize young women into following antiquated roles that MEN artificially crested for them.

Now, I could be wrong maybe you are suggesting that America finally wake up and acknowledge that human beings are sexual creatures and that our children need to informed and educated on the safest and sanest ways to lead a healthy and active sexual lives. If this is the case I applaud your suggestion.

Abortion will never end -whether it is legal or not. If Rowe vs. Wade is ever overturned then back-alley and illegal abortions will ensue.

I am the woman, This is MY BODY, This is MY CHOICE. If they were to make abortion illegal, what should happen to the women who have illegal abortions?! Do NOT tell me how my body should be ran.


This is the choice for a woman and not a man to decide what happens in my life. I already have to work for the man, so i def don't want him to own my body either.

when you can come back with a good answer i might listen to your argument but until then worry about your on life and not the lives of other women who make their own choices and stand up for themselves

The ongoing issue of people willing to kill their own flesh and blood for the sake of conveinience is mind boggling . It has been decided that the unborn have no right to life . Hitler decided that Jews had no right to life and would be exterminated . Millions died . Today abortions in America have far exceeded the slaughter that the Nazis had unleashed . Abortion today is big business that generates wealth to the executioners at the expense of the slaughtered children .

Hi Stan, Just a thought but why is it ok for insurance companies to make loads of money by denying care to people (which often leads to their early demise) but its not ok to make money from abortion?

Why is it ok for oil companies to spew hundreds of millions of tons of pollution into the air and water of our planet (potentially shortening the lives of every living creature on the planet) in the name of the almighty dollar but its not ok to make money from abortion.

Why is it ok for tobacco companies to sell products that are known to cause cancer and other diseases all to keep a few farmers and executives happy, but its not ok to make a living helping women find an alternative to an unhappy life.

Why is it ok for companies to sell alcohol when we know that millions of people will become addicted to it ruining their lives and the lives of thier families (not to mention the tens of thousands killed and injured in alcohol related accidents). But its not ok to make money providing a service to women that can potentially save them and the unborn child a life of misery.

So Stan my question to you is why are all of these other lives not as important as the unborn children you are trying to defend?

And Stan one more thing, would you be willing to adopt an unwanted child to prevent an abortion? ( but guess what you don't get to pick the child, its chosen for you randomly it might be addicted to drugs, of a different race or religion than yours, it may be deformed or mentally challenged, or a product of rape or incest)

Until you and all of the others who claim that making abortions illegal will make the world a better place can honestly answer YES to this question I suggest you analyze your motivation for voicing your opinion on this issue.

Okay people, let us be realistic, if abortion is outlawed two things will happen and we all know it.

1) There will be illegal abortions performed for those women that do not have a lot of money.

2) There will be medical procedures performed at private clinics for those who are well off financially. A little donation to Dr. Uppity-ups favorite charity in his name will go a long way in solving the problem.

If you do not understand this then you are extremely naive.

On September 11th, we were horrified as we watched the destruction of more than 3,000 innocent human lives. In an instant, our government responded to protect the country from further loss," Connor said, in a news release. "But the sad reality of American life is that more than 4,000 children die every day in this country at the hands of abortionists and the government does nothing to intervene.

jessie, my statement had nothing to do with what anyone's belief is as to the hereafter or if there is actually one. I was stating what reality is.

Now as far as the God theory, I still haven't figured out why a God that will punish the women you describe above would allow some dirt bag to kidnap, rape and murder a young child and then get away with it for the rest of his life. So he will burn in hell after enjoying a long life while her parents could go to their graves and never know what happened to their child. Kinda wonder about that God!

Or why he would allow a small child dying from cancer to beg her parents not to let her die, promising to be good. Yea, tell me all about that God!!! Try explaining without the old standbys of "he had other work for her" or "God needed to call her home" These are the usuals from the clergy since they do not know what else to say.

Sorry about this rant but I get ticked with the Jesus freaks. Enough from me, I have had my say!

Getting back to my original point, if your god and your church are so against abortion (I don't like it either but I don't feel its my place to tell others how to live their lives), then why are you so against MASTURBATION, birth control and sex education since they are logically the only effective way to reduce the numbers of abortions!

BTW you must be an unAmerican socialist if you think its wrong for people to make money from abortions; since you claim that anyone who wants to regulate, control, or stimulate competition by creating a public healthcare option is an unAmerican socialist.

17howardinyoungstown(591 comments)posted 4 years, 4 months ago

Dear Pro,
Many of those who are against legal abortion (thank you for recognizing that it will never go away even if its illegal) are also against any kind of sex education for children (ie. the Catholic church) and believe that abstinence until marriage or lifelong celibacy are the only answers (they even go so far as to threaten members of their own flock with excommunication for publicly acting or saying otherwise, which relates back to the terrorism point in my original comment).

As for insurance companies competing against the government they have been doing that very successfully since the inception of Medicare. No one would be saying anything if it was a new insurance company opening up and undercut their prices by 25%, they would simply find ways to compete (better service, more coverage, better network, or find ways to cut costs) just as they have always done. So I just don't buy that argument.

As for the socialism comment yes I used that just to provide some perspective, I am a very liberal thinker and find it offensive that so many are wrongly using the word to describe President Obama since from my perspective he is a staunch capitalist who is only slightly left of most in the Bush administration.

So many these days use the word socialism (an economic system) when what they really mean is communism (one type of socialist government).

I just so you understand me better, I also was against the bailout of the Banks, Insurance companies, and Auto manufacturing. From my perspective all of that was done in an attempt to maintain the capitalist status quo, rather than letting the unrestrained capitalism of the 1980's and 1990's die a natural death.

So there you have it you and I though coming at these issues from different perspectives actually have some things in common.

When the wealth is stripped from the people then only the government will have wealth . Would this then be called communism ? Total government control will dictate who will live and who will die . They will also rule on what will be taught in the schools . A hint on history . Communism collapsed in Russia . Obama care is the first step for us . Will American Communism succeed ?

When it has been ruled that the unborn have no right to life the all other rights can be taken away as well . We are well on the road to total government control . Slavery in its worst form will be thrust upon us as it already has been upon the unborn .

1st the "framers" did not plan for abortions at all it just wans't on their radar at the time.

2nd overturning Roe v Wade is simply the first albiet long battle in war whose plan is to make choice illegal in as many states as possible (so claiming that its a states rights issue is an oversimplification).

3rd Roe v Wade provides no federal funding for abortions what you are referring to is the Hyde amendment which in Ohio only provides funding for Medicaid eligible women in the case of rape, incest, or to protect the life of the woman. please review the facts at http://www.aclu.org/reproductive-free... If you don't like the federal funding then just try to repeal the Hyde amendment only. I don't like my tax dollars being used in illegal wars overseas or for the government to spy on Americans so I guess we both have issues with that.

You could simply choose and insurance plan that does not include abortion coverage much as the Republican national committee was forced to do.

Howardinyoungstown, you make far too much sense for the right wingers. Someone above said there have been 50 million murders since 1973. Untrue, abortion is not murder but there have been a few hundred murders, committed by anti-choicers who have taken REAL MURDER of abortion providers into their own hands. Good points Howard about all the right wing supported industries who routinely kill and maim millions and yet the right wing doesn't address that. Another myth is that women later in life have mental issues from previous abortions. Any tie between abortion and mental issues is tenuous at best.

The interesting thing about this issue is that many of the anti-choicers are men. If men had to carry babies, abortion clinics would be like gas stations, on every corner.

I love how the so called pro-lifers such as Pro-Conservaterican staunchly defend the unborn but yet cheer when a doctor that performs a legal procedure at the request of a patient is gunned down and murdered by a crazy killer.They always use the lame excuse that the doctor somehow deserves it.Really?So if I would think conservatives are a danger to America and deserve to die then I have the right to kill them? That is but one example of their twisted logic.(No doubt their are many conservatives that would relish putting a bullet into a progressive as evidenced by the signs at the tea parties).I would love to have Pro-Conservaterican sit in on a consult where the mother-to-be is told her baby has no chance to survive or her her own life is in danger by continuing the pregnancy and spout off his nonsense about how it`s his way or the highway.In his world everything is black and white as opposed to reality where there are many shades of gray.Oh, another beautiful day Pro-Conservaterican as we continue our slide into socialism.LOL......Now put your tinfoil hat back on and go put up your X-mas lights.And by the way,your conservatives have been in power in both the White House and Supreme Court for years and guess what? Abortion is STILL legal.They just used it as a campaign issue to rile up the sheeple and it`s worked like a charm.

Atown Parent....By your screen name, Atown Parent, you are probably a parent. When you look at your children, you are glad they are alive, right? Could you even imagine what life would be if you had aborted that child? You are right. That .1% can happen, but if you don't have sex at all, then it is 100% birth control.

And you say religion decided that abortion was murder? The definition says that it is: "to kill one human by another, with premeditated malice." It doesn't say: "Murder. See 'relgion'". I think Abortion is premeditated malice.

ATown Parent, you are right...I would be stupid to think that people will stop having sex because they aren't prepared for a child. Most people are NOT prepared to be parents and if they have the idea of abortion AT ALL and decide to have the baby in the long run, then the child suffers throughout their lives, most of the time, because the parent didn't want them to begin with. Again, this is not the case 100% of the time, but the majority of the time it is. People are just not responsible at all.

Pronunciation: \ə-ˈbȯr-shən\
Function: noun
Date: 1547
2 : monstrosity

Im against abortion. But reality dictates that those lazy, inconvienced moms are not going take care of those kids. They will be in and out of psychiatric facilities, abandoned, JJC bound, CSB involvement, county custudy. Then what, we dont want government programs and handouts(which I dont).

I work in child psych...these kids dont have a chance...they are F'd in life cause of a bad decision by adults. I hate seeing these kids in pain. I dont have the answers but sometimes I wish that parent would have made that decision to abort cause the kid suffers a life time of pain.

ytowngramma you are the one who needs educated on the subject. Abortions are performed by D&C- which is dialation and curretage- curretage being a sharp blade used to scrape and cut the baby from the womb. Or the other option which is just as ugly- they suction the baby into peices via vacuum aspiration. Animals get put to sleep. Aborted babies dont even get that.

Every person is just a mass of cells inflated by water . After death these cells can't defend themselves because blood has ceased to circulate and are destroyed by bacteria and fungus . Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, they revert back to the elements . All of us live on finite time .

The unborn whose time has been drastically shortened by abortion have been short changed in a horrific fashion . They were defenseless and had relied upon their mother for protection . Since the mothers life is finite she will in the same state as she placed her child . In the realm of where the spirits dwell what will be her fate ?

God is Pro Abortion:


And.....the facts are, many, many more women die during childbirth than from a legal abortion.

And......most women do not regret having an abortion........you only hear from the women who were unstable to begin with and are unable to deal with many aspects of their lives.

And.....all anti-choice individuals should be required to adopt at least one unwanted child.......and that includes all of the disabled children now spending their lives in institutions. Please don't cry poor mouth either, you yourselves have stated that if faced with an unplanned pregnancy you would have the child . You would manage.

And....I am sooooo tired of hearing that woment should keep their legs together. Why don't men just keep their business in their pants and quit abandoning their "woman" after they have knocked them up? For every single mother out there, there is a man who has walked away and left the tax payers with the burden of providing for their child.

And......you don't want your tax dollars paying for abortions? Maybe I don't want my tax dollars going to support welfare babies and pay for their healthcare for 20 years. MANY people have more babies just to stay on the welfare gravy train.....wake up.

And.....VERY FEW partial birth abortions are preformed. It is ONLY done to SAVE THE MOTHER'S LIFE. How many of you antis out there would be willing to stand there and watch your wife, sister or daughter DIE because this procedure was deemed illegal? If you are OK with that..... FINE.....don't have the procedure done and let your loved one die. You have NO RIGHT to make that decision for someone else.

And.....even sterilization has been known to fail as a method of birth control. How many of you pro-choice men out there would agree to TOTAL ABSTINENCE if your lady didn't want to take the chance of ending up with an unwanted pregnancy?
Please stand up and be counted if you would be willing to go without vaginal sex until your lady is well into menopause.

Abortion is a PERSONAL CHOICE. Mind your own business.

Let me start by saying that I am pro-life and a conservative Christian. Contrary to what I've read here, I'm not overjoyed by the death of an abortion doctor, I take no pleasure in the pain of a woman who's experienced a rape resulting in pregnancy, nor do I advocate banning either sexual education in schools or use of birth control. Please remember not all who have a personal relationship with Christ are Catholics.

Bottom line is probable quality (or lack thereof) of life is not the baseline for which the decision to live or not live should be based on. Where do you draw the line? Should we give the unborn child a trial run and see if say, by age 2 life is going to be ok for them so we let them live, or if by age 2 they're neglected by parents who don't care in which case we should just kill them now, but hey at least we let them have a chance? Or the elderly, should euthanasia become the choice for kids who don't wish to have the responsibility of caring for aging parents?

Just saying...

ytowngramma - I sure hope you've never been through the trauma of a rape, but if you haven't please don't bring the issue up. It's a slap in the face to someone who has been through it to be used as an example by one who hasn't. I was raped, and no pregnancy ensued (thank God) but had I become pregnant I would have had that baby because that baby wasn't at fault, and it would be half of me. I may not have kept it, I may have gone the adoption route, but would have allowed it the chance at life for sure.

I had an unplanned pregnancy and chose to have the baby. My son is almost 6 years old and I look at him everyday and thank God he was given to me to love and care for. My husband and I are blessed with our 2 children, not everyone's situation works out like ours did, but sometimes it does, and those situations deserve as much recognition as the negative outcomes.

Not every unplanned pregnancy is a horror story, and the child deserves the right to life.
