I Gotta Know What People Think

Absolutely. The state owes it to those who risk their lives on its behalf to provide for them. If you get knocked up and don't like it, too bad. Should have used birth control.

could not have said it any better!!!!

Yes I am anti-abortion. I dont need any emotional, spiritual, or mental attachment. All I have to do is look at human life. Mine and yours. Like I said, we were all there at one point. Our mothers could've at any point aborted us. But they didnt. So now we live our lives, and joined this board. What if your mother aborted you?

Then perhaps I would be my little sister? There's no way of knowing. You clearly define "human" as the combination of a sperm and egg cell, whereas I certainly do not. If a week after conception, a woman wants an abortion, I don't view it as killing a human. I view killing a human as killing a human.

LOL, I feel the same way.

1. Why bring a child brought into the world that is unwanted.
2. Thosewho can afford an abortion are probably paying for it.
3. Those who can't pay are probably the same ones that can't handle the cost of raising a child.
4. Since a child costs more to raise in the long run then the abortion is the cheaper and socialy responsible behavior.

You don't want to pay for an abortion but you want to pay for welfare, food stamps and other social programs the child will likely receive?

No. As a libertarian, I'm against just about every form of government aid.

Furthermore, I think that just about anyone in today's society can rummage up the $300 to $500 it costs for an early abortion, which I approve of, by selling off luxuries. These include TVs, cell phones, cable, laptops, jewelry, etc. You cannot possibly expect me to pay for your abortion when you're going to go home that night and watch cable on your HDTV while you text the guy that knocked you up.

I'm going to totally venture a guess that the above criteria would eliminate 95% of women seeking an abortion. Only pregnant homeless women are left. I don't doubt that they exist, but how many of them do you think there are?

Now, of course, we may just disagree. You may think it's fine for a person to get a free abortion for their personal mistake, whilst driving a car that could pay for sixteen abortions.

at the same time how many tax funded abortions do you there are? The average abortion probably costs around $200 if not less I think. please let me know how many publicly funded abortions you think there would be nation wide per year.

So the sperm that wouldve been you wouldve stuck around and made you what your little sister is now? If that is so, you wouldnt have your little sister. She wouldnt be here. Imagine that.

I dont know who I would be or if I would even be human at all but I believe that No matter what I will be a living someone or something. I have no evidence to back it up, no references with the same Idea. I just think it makes sense. I have had this idea since I was like 7 years old and it makes the most sense to me.

Well ok. I dont believe that, but I will respect your thoughts and beliefs. Also, thank you for not attacking my thoughts or beliefs (when so many do). You have my vote as a good member.

Imagine an 11-13 year old girl getting pregnant before High school. I can think of at least (AT LEAST) 5 girls that I know that have had children before even hitting high school. Oviously there is no parental supervision or guidance. Do you think that they should pay for their own abortion even if their parents dont want to or care to?

How is it MY fault? How is it anyones fault other than the teenagers?

[Aikman_TheGreat]

Ok. How about this.

I will admit that I have had sex. No I am not married. So in my religion I have sinned. But if I got my girlfriend pregnant, I would not think that all of YOU (taxpayers actually) would have to pay for my girlfriends abortion (of course she wouldnt do that, and I would fight my hardest to keep her from doing that if she was to).

I dont want others paying for my "mistakes" (a child is never a mistake in my book), but to have others pay for your mistakes is cowardly and irresponsible to me.

That's funny. I was about to call you out on that and then refreshed the page and there it is. Does it eat at you to know you killed your sons and daughters?
