On the 23rd of this month was the 40th annual March For Life. But if you only ever watched MSM you would never have known such an event where tens of thousands of people showed up despite the bitter cold. The theme of this years march was Adoption:The Noble Decision Here is a link with pictures of the event. http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/hundreds-of-thousands-set-to-march-for-end-of-abortion-in-washington-on-roe

So what are we supposed to discuss here exactly? That you'd never find people to adopt all the orphans we'd have on our hands if abortion were illegal? Or how people would do it anyway, in back alleys? Or what sorts of problems we'd run into as a result?

I thought this was going to be about Trainspotting :/

No thanks, I chose the right for a woman to have an abortion.

Yeah, and I think I saw it on CNN while I was running last night. Guess they aren't lamestream enough.

Before Roe there were not as many people aborting babies, but now we have millions each year being killed due to their mothers treating them as property.

The day the anti-abortion people can make a proper argument against abortion that is based on something other then religion or spirituality, I'll listen.

Until then, peace out.

So, you approve that your mum did not abort you? But it is ok if she would have?

He wouldn't be able to object if she did, so the question is pointless.

Meh. If my right to live is more important than someone elses right to choose then I'll gladly take your kidney by force when I need it.

Was George Michael actually supporting a pro life stance in that video ?

So you are saying that a living human is not a reason to choose life? I do not see how choosing life is saying abortion is wrong. It just makes it unnecessary.

We are talking about one's own body. Your point though is that it should be legal to take all life for selfish reasons. Sounds like slavery should be ok also, seeing as how it is ok to take from another person as long as it makes the one choosing healthy, wealthy, and the one getting their way.

I am not quite sure why banning abortion would lead to more orphans. Suicidal parents? Deaths n childbirth? Unwanted and abandoned babies, yes, but I am not sure about orphans.

Totally agree with the gist though.

No, my point is that it is your right to choose to have a surgery performed on you and your choice determines whether I live or I die. Do you think I should be able to take your kidney by force if I need it?

I'm saying it's a ridiculous hypothetical question.

In an ideal world, abortion would be safe, legal, and very rare.

The funny thing about the whole notion of "choosing life" is that no one on the pro choice side of the debate wants to take away that right.

We need better sex ed to cut down on the number of unwanted pregnancies then, not a ban of abortion.

The problem in many states is abstinence-based sex ed. This leads to more pregnancies and more abortions.
