I stopped watching when I saw the word "God".
There's that close-mindedness prevalent in liberals...just because the word God is used doesn't mean the points aren't valid. Liberals are supposedly open-minded, progressive thinkers, but if anything about religion is even mentioned, they quit listening...the definition of hypocrisy.
My main problem with abortion is the total lack of personal responsibility in most cases. Yes, there are some women who are impregnated as a result of rape, which is always an argument for pro-choice, but what is the actual percentage on that? And danger to the mother's health is always brought up, which happens on occasion as well. But the vast majority of abortions are a result of poor choices and not accepting responsibility for those choices. There was no rape, there are no health concerns to the mother, they just made a bad decision, got pregnant, and now don't want to deal with it. And if you say that's not true, show me some statistics to prove it or quit being so naive. Just another aspect of life where people fail to accept the responsibility for their actions.

I gotta agree with everything the Tiger Pimp said...almost all abortions are a result of poor personal judgement and lack of responsibility...What gets me are the girls who have multiple abortions...USE PROTECTION!!!
That said, I'm still pro-choice...I believe it's not my business what a woman does with her body...If they want to get an abortion, fine...it should be available...but even at that, I just cant support this 2nd trimester crap unless it's for a very very valid reason, which is why I believe any law that bans it should at least have a provision in it for certain circumstances....However, if it's just because you were too lazy or remained undecided for 15+ weeks, then that's your own dumb fault!
By the way, less than 1% of all abortions are the result of rape or incest...which means the other 99% are because people were too stupid to wear a condom!

Then I apologize...from what I've seen of your posts, you seem liberal. Are you conservative? Middle of the road?

I consider myself moderate. While I have some liberal views such as pro-choice and pro universal health care, I have a lot of conservative views too: pro border control, against government regulation of big business, for staying in Iraq, for tax cuts to the rich, against welfare, etc...

Ahhh gotcha. I apologize again for assuming...
Back to the point of my response to your post, though: just because God is mentioned doesn't mean the points aren't valid. You limit your exposure to new ideas and opinions if you automatically tune out because of something completely unrelated to the subject matter. I can understand being skeptical of the source, I am with everything I see on the internet. That doesn't mean you should immediately discount it though.

I wasn't. I just knew saying that would ruffle some feathers.

That is very close minded. I'm an atheist and posted the video.
The reason I posted that video is because It is rated PG and I want to keep this site family friendly. I looked over some other videos and they we just too graphic.
