I'm pro choice ...
those in favor of controlling their on lives and a smaller government, not so much
Choice has never been the issue. Choice is what brought us here. In the case of rape which is the exception not the rule you have a choice to kill the fetus, have it and raise it, or give it up for adoption.
So I guess you can say that I am pro choice, but not pro abortion. With the exception of rape you need to start with a wise choice and except responsibility for the choice. I am tired of the entitlement attitude in this country. You know I should have free health care, free contraceptives, free abortions, and anything else I need for my bad choices.

That says a lot about us as a society.
As an old white guy, I am not going to preach to a woman about her reproductive rights. Like many, what we can hope for is what ever her decision, it is based on facts and knowledge about what really happens when a woman desides to terminate a pregnancy. Originally Posted by Jackie S

what's better is having the government and the church telling you when and where you'll be having family whether you're ready for it or not. It's not hand-holding, it's more like getting hit over the head or dragged by the feet.....by the government and the pious self-righteous., Originally Posted by timpage
Heap well-said, Chief Broken Rubber. Seriously, how many families are you willing to destroy if a condom breaks?

Abortion is murder. I will never ever ever ever think otherwise.
You have the right to choose what's right for you. I have no business telling anyone what they should or should not do. I'm not really a shining beacon for goodness.
That being said.... The only opinion I have regarding the broad spectrum is, I'll be DAMNED if the government uses one penny of my money to fund this. You screwed up and if you want to cheat your way out then YOU pay for it. Are there exceptions? Of course. Anyone who says differently is selling something. Originally Posted by LovingKayla
It is just my opinion, you know we all have them. I took "Chief Broken Rubber." into consideration after deciding that I did not want kids and had the plumbing turned off. So I guess that is one choice that we men can make.Well-said and well thought out! It is a horrible choice to have to make but until one evaluates ALL the circumstances involved, it should remain a choice - one never to be taken lightly.
Unlike so many anti abortionist out there I am not going to dictate what someone else should do, but I have seen many women suffer for the decisions that they have made. Originally Posted by Fastcars1966
