To Lemming3K: I did not say the law ought to be reversed; I said it needed to be fixed. As it stands it is unfair to the fathers. If women do not wish for their husbands to have a say, then let them remain single and have all the abortions their bodies can stand.

Bull, Arditezza!

Birth control is not a type of abortion, abortion is a type of birth control. And if you don't believe it, then you are uninformed. Not that women set out to use it as birth control, but when one has abortions repeatedly, rather than taking the necessary precautions, then she is using it as a birth control. Many abortionists deny that this happens much, but I know it does, and so do a lot of people.
Thank you, Okinrus for your comments on parisites. It makes my blood boil to hear someone say that a baby is nothing but a parasite. In addition, if any of you believe that abortions are used so wisely then tell us how come there are so many of them.
You bet it would cause big problems if Roe vs. Wade were reversed, but I disagree that the orphanages would be overrun. In addition, back when there were no legal abortions, I never heard about highschool girls having babies in the washrooms and dumping them in the garbage can. Similar things happened, but it surely seemed less frequent than now. So, what has abortion opportunities done for us, other than made murderers of us? The ones who can afford it have abortions, and the junkies have babies...it that the way it works? It is sickening to hear the numbers, which seem to be rising, and at the same time hearing red-faced extremists say, "But what about rape and incest?" as though that were the main issue.
To anyone who cannot have a child because of medical reasons, Can you not take birth control pills or use a condum? See, I do not get that! I mean no disrespect. I just do not get it. Condums are as popular as lollipops and kids are still getting pregnant. I knew of one little 15 year old girl who had her 3rd abortion, all past the cutoff time.
I do not care to hear about hypotheticals, such as "what about this," or "what if that." I will tell you what it is about! It is about what is really happening out there! So,before you say, "Should abortion rights ever again be denied there will be bloodshed in the streets, find out what is happening in the streets, and in nice proper homes, now! Find out just how much unnecessary bloodshed is happening right now. I challenge you! I do not care about Roe vs Wade, I care about talking straight. If you are going to kill babies then be honest about the reasons, the numbers, and how they feel when they die in a pan. (And please don't tell me they do not, unless you assist during abortions of longer term.
Find out who is getting rich off it!
How come we hear no statistics about how many are done each year, and just how many of those were incest or rape? And those medical problems? How long of a list is that, and why do those at risk not use birth control? Just asking.
Finally! If you are for abortion, then you are pro-abortion. That is what it means to be for something. I have found that by "extreme cases" folks mean whenever it is inconvenient. If you say: only in extreme cases, then I say: you are kidding yourself.
