I don't care, op. Emotional appeals and appealing to exceptions are a terrible way to base policy. Abortion is a losing issue for conservatives that will remain a single issue for some voters. Voters who otherwise could be attracted to support smaller government and more American focused policies. Bitching about abortion just gives the left more power and nothing else.

Abortion should be illegal as long as child support is legal.

If you can abort it without his say, then you can support it without his pay.

People act like there would still be a million pregnancies if abortion was outlawed.

The reason women are sluts and don't use any pregnancy protection is because there are no consequences.

If they get pregnant, they just kill it. Some women kill multiple babies a year, it's no big deal to them.

If they are not allowed to have an abortion, there are consequences for their actions and one way or another they will be held accountable for their lifestyle choices.

If anything it will make people do more to prevent the pregnancy in the first place, which is much better than killing a living human being.

Absolutely. Which of course is an issue that is secondary to the primary issue of legal murder. I have never seen an argument to the contrary that does not stem from redefining what a person is and then proceeding from that assumption. I have not seen all pro abortion arguments, however, if anyone has one that isn't based on that concept?

Murder is a legal term, defined as the unjustified killing of a an innocent person illegally. Homicide is the term that does not carry legal or moral implications.

Killing Jews in the third Reich was not murder, because it was not defined as such in the law, nor were Jews defined as persons, so it was as perfectly legal under that system as abortion is here now.

What makes a baby less of a person who should not be murdered than a young man in a coma from an auto accident that he will eventually recover from, so long as he stays hooked up to all the support apparatus that keeps him alive until then? He has no self awareness, his quality  of life sucks currently, he's completely dependent on others, and he isn't contributing anything to society.

Be careful. The pro-aborts are already arguing for infanticide. They have created an artificial distinction between humanity and person-hood. They say an infant has humanity but lacks person-hood until it can contribute to society. Of course, their inability to ever contribute to society was why Hitler had retarded people murdered, but apparently pro-lifers are the Nazis.

Abortion is a big departure point for me from most people, to include libertarians (who I generally agree with in principle)

I don't particularly care if women want to flush their kids. It's really none of my business.

However, as long as a woman has the legal right to roto-root out a kid regardless of what the father wants, then there should be a legal framework in place for men to legally and financially opt out of a pregnancy that they don't want, if both parties are agreeable. Sort of like a dissolution for parenthood.

It's only fair.

Yup. In any debate about abortion, they will bring up rape, incest, and genetic deformities. You MUST get them to admit that if they go there, they have to concede that 95+% of abortions are not justifiable under their logic. Then you can continue arguing about the fringe cases from a place of strength.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, in 2008, 70% of all pregnancies among black women were "unintended".  57% for hispanic women, and 42% for white women.  In 2004, 73% of women reported their reason for having an abortion was "inconvenience", financial or otherwise.  If we say a million abortions are performed in the US each year (yes the number is now lower than that, and is at its lowest since abortion was legalized, which is a good thing), that means 730,000 abortions were performed not due to medical necessity, rape, incest, health of the mother, etc, but because "oops!  we created a human being...that's inconvenient, let's kill it so we can move on with life."

We're a country of 331 million people, of which roughly 120 million are in the 15 to 44 age group (the "child bearing years", generally speaking).  With approximately 50% of those 120 million people being female, and with ~ 1 million abortions performed a year, that means 1 in 48 child-bearing age women will have an abortion out of convenience each year.  

Sex has become transactional, and taking the precautions necessary to prevent having to commit murder after the fact (and there are many available) seem to be too inconvenient to take seriously.  And I'm not pointing the finger at just women.  There's a definite man problem going on here as well.  Even for births that DO occur from unintended pregnancies, fatherless children are a huge problem, particularly in the black communities.

I don't think abortion should be illegal.  Black markets would fill the demand if they were made illegal.  The problem is that so many abortions are needed, not that they're being performed.  Call it moral decay or whatever you want, but women are far too willing to spread their legs, and men are far too willing to saddle up, and between them they're not taking the necessary precautions to prevent life.  That's the point.

At what point exactly would ending an unwanted pregnancy become inappropriate and become murder?  At what stage of the pregnancy does it become unreasonable for me to object?  Yes I know that's cliche but at the same time you have to admit the statement that it's simply an "unwanted pregnancy" is at least an oversimplification of a complex issue, even from the "pro choice" side.

At some point all of this advocacy starts to sound a lot like eugenics.  

I am arguing that the world is burning due to the rise of moral relativism, not because of unwanted pregnancies.  People do not want (or are "incapable" of taking care of) children because they choose to focus on the accumulation of material wealth instead.  

Politically, abortion in this country will always remain legal due to reasons outlined above.

Nobody is forcing anyone to be a bad parent.  There are ~2 million families waiting to adopt, and thats just the ones who qualify against the overly strict policies.  I'd be willing to bet, that given the chance, an aborted child will choose to grow up in "not the absolute best environment" over being violently murdered 100 out 100 times.  Relax the regulations on who can adopt and you'd find even more willing families.

I am completely moron. My biorents have all the emotional impact that a 'stay off the grass' sign seen in passing from a car window has to me. But it's sobering to think that had I been conceived three years later, I could have been legally murdered before I could even learn to control my own bowels. The wielding of the arbitrary of power of life  and death because you think you have a pretty good idea of what's likely to happen, statistically, to that infant if let to live, strikes me as the archetypical example of hubris and arrogance.

We aren't talking about murder, we are talking about ending unwanted pregnancies. Your need to see the world burn so you can feel pious is why your ilk should never be allowed to hold positions of authority.

Abortion is murder, prove me wrong.

I am adopted, at birth. 1970. Sealed records, although my similarly adopted in 1966 sister apparently hunted up her gamete donors, some years ago. Personally, I never gave a shit about them. Thanks and goodbye, my parents are the ones that were there.

That's not my point. My point is, I could be a rape baby, a nephson, pooped out of some junkie's twat that tricked on the street to score a fix, or just some dumbass teen's lovechild from getting knocked up at the prom in the backseat of a jalopy.
I'm pretty sure, given the circumstances of a mother giving up a baby for adoption, the statisticians would have predicted for that infant, me, a very poor future. Good thing abortion wasn't legal yet, at least for me, huh?

God bless you OP and thank you for sharing your story.  I turned ant abortion years ago when a man came to our church and had a similar story.  I'll never forget what I learned.

Yeah man, you tell that woman what to do with her body. Who the hell are they to think they have their own life choices.

She is certainly in a good position to raise a child if she is considering terminating her own pregnancy, in her own body. She will love some guy she doesn't know telling her what to do.

But us men love our personal freedom and accountability. Women, not so much.

Women tell men what to do with their bodies all the time too so don't get too excited about that leftist story.

I don't care, op. Emotional appeals and appealing to exceptions are a terrible way to base policy. Abortion is a losing issue for conservatives that will remain a single issue for some voters. Voters who otherwise could be attracted to support smaller government and more American focused policies. Bitching about abortion just gives the left more power and nothing else.

"Bitching about abortion" is protecting the vulnerable children who have no choice but have a life to lose.  If we allow child murder what does it actually mean to be"conservative'?

Abortion is not something the government should have a say in.
