What about the right of the unborn child?

[carolwalton]

It's all about me, me, me. Women exercised their right when they decided to opt for sexual pleasure KNOWING the possibility of creating a child. Abortions are BRUTAL to the baby. Also what the mother emotionally goes thru afterwards.

I can't believe anyone would give this absurd reasoning any weight!

[danieljameschamberlin]

Wait a minute !!! I thought there was not supposed to be any genders anymore. The government does not pay for histerectomy or Vasectomy so why would they pay for abortion?

[kittybitts]

there's no right to abort babies enumerated in the Constitution. According to the Constitution all people have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This includes unborn babies.

Say it again, Say it loud "OUR BODIES, OUR HEALTH, OUR FAMILIES'!!!!

She's so happy to be there to promote the killing of the and disgusting. Stop sugar coating evil.

So its ok for a woman or couple after 8month to 9months to walk into a Abortion clinic and tell them to abort the baby that is about to be born instead of letting it live a health life? This is what this is trying to prevent. Women or men aborting a baby after its is alive and has a heart beat. There is also plenty of parents here who want a kid that can't have any. Babies don't stay in foster care long. Why you think people going to China, Russia and Africa for babies. Cause people are killing our babies here instead of letting them be born and adopted.

That child in your body, is not your body . So you have no right to destroy it.

too bad people cannot be tested prior to their engaging in intercourse to determine if they can make wise choices. it is a great life changing experience with consequences i.e pregnancy, abortion which can lead to feelings of guilt, depression, and rushed marriages that will most likely end in divorce, or abusive relationships, inability to conceive following an abortion, etc. women need to smarten up and men need to be more respectful of females. of course, that means that parents need to be involved in their childrens lives by teaching them valuable life lessons. abortion seems like an easy way out for many and i'm not sure those choosing abortion truly understand the impact that choice will have on them in the long term.

If you can't afford to have a child or don't wanna be pregnant for any reason, then keep your legs closed!

[christophercowan]

forcing birth? Um, they had the sex. They made that choice. By the way, every single argument gets demolished by one single fact. It is NEVER right to take the life of an innocent human being. Abortion takes the life of an innocent human being. End of argument. Your "context" is completely and utterly irrelevant.

What about cruel and unusual punishment that’s a constitutional right as well
Ripping an unborn baby apart literally is okay with them
It’s amazing that people who are pro choice have already been born

[sherrieblack]

That looks like there acting out something fake
