I don't understand. Why do you think that?

Pro-lifers are telling women they must have unwanted children.
Some do not choose to have sex. There are those who are raped, for example (which includes date rape etc.) Then, there are those who choose to have sex but do not choose to become pregnant. This includes people who have accidents, and those who are too naive to know that there is a risk of pregnancy (which is more common than you may think).
Who said anything about murdering children?
A foetus is not a child. A foetus cannot make choices. If it could, we wouldn't be having this debate.
Again, we're not talking about murdering children here.
Also, it seems you aren't very aware of the "most common arguments" among pro-choice advocates. Maybe you need to do a little basic research. There are plenty of sites on the internet you can look at. Take a look, then come back and tell us what you think.
Another possibility: Why not provide welfare for poor people, so they can raise children?
Right. So killing a child is not the same as killing an adult. Killing a young child is not the same as killing an older child. And killing an unborn foetus is not the same as killing a newborn baby.
TheAlphaWolf said:We already have that. It's called c-o-n-g-r-e-s-s, and the rules are called l-a-w-s. They prevent people from stealing, yelling "FIRE!" in a movie theater, and doing other wrong things.
since you are so pro life how about we give you all the babies that would have been aborted and let you take care of themangrybellsprout said:Then again still trying to justify dumb sluts murdering children. Maybe if they are too stupid to understand how biology works, maybe they shouldn't be having sex? Though that doesn't go along with the liberal philosophy of, if you have a vagina why aren't you using it.

what does this have with the issue of abortion?angrybellsprout said:Too bad that darn Constitution thing gives states the rights to pass their own laws on issues not expressly enumerated within the writen text of said document.
Then again the judiciary doesn't really give a damn about the Constitution either and just writes laws on whatever it wants to without any regard to the Constitution...

yeah, it WAS lamehug-a-tree said:Oh wow, that was lame.
James R said:A child is a small human being which exists after birth. A bunch of cells or a foetus is not a child.
An unborn mouse has a heart beat too. Is it entitled to equal protection?
Do you eat meat? Would you say that an adult cow, which was killed so you could eat it, has more or less sentience than, say, a month-old human foetus? If more, then why is it ok to kill the cow, but not the foetus?
No birth control is 100% effective. Condoms can break. Sometimes women forget to take the pill. Some people are raped, or otherwise forced to have sex against their will.
I ask: who are YOU to make decisions for other people? I'm sure that almost any woman who has considered an abortion will tell you it is an agonisingly difficult decision to make. But it is HERS to make, not yours.

angrybellsprout said:I know because a man is TOTALLY 100% the only person who makes a choice wether or not to have sex.
I mean duh, everyone knows that women don't make a choice to have sex or not, only males do.
QuarkMoon said:Great point, although you have to take the law into account. According to the law, the fetus is not considered a child until it takes a breath outside of the womb. It's a technicality, but it is the law, therefore it is not murdering children.
But I must say I agree with everything else you said, I won't call you a troll anymore.
so saying that, do you believe it fair to force a woman to have a child she doesn't want?angrybellsprout said:I know because a man is TOTALLY 100% the only person who makes a choice wether or not to have sex.

leopold99 said:yeah, it WAS lame
but not near as lame as forceing a woman to have a child she doesn't want.
but you just said a man was responsible for a womans pregnancyangrybellsprout said:She obviously wanted to make that child, but we wouldn't want to actually hold anyone accountable for their concious choices, I mean that violates the core laws of liberal land...

i wonder if you can answer a questionangrybellsprout said:I'm wondering if you ever made it past elementry school, as most language arts circulums require that you learn about certian things at a fairly young age.
Can anyone else guess what literary devices those could be?
