Comments on: America’s Abortion Headache http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/americans-and-abortion/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:07:21 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: FJ http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/americans-and-abortion/comment-page-3/#comment-344705 FJ Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:17:31 +0000 http://pajamasmedia.com/?p=58004#comment-344705 Abortion is repugnant, period. We get hung up on the issue because in Roe v. Wade, our Supreme Court acted as a legislative body instead of a judicial body, and now we're stuck with the ruling until the Court reverses it. States should be allowed to regulate their own policies on abortion, either for or against, because the Constitution doesn't specifically address the issue. Therefore, states are meant to regulate the issue. Period. Follow the one true law of the land, and the rest will follow naturally. For some reason we fell in love a long time ago with the idea of federal laws governing all, new laws, etc. that had no business being made; executive brand directives, all that stuff should never have happened. States need to be allowed to regulate on their own, because at least at that reduced level, people can more easily vote people out, change things, etc. Abortion is repugnant, period.

I know of many. My guess is that if your child grows up and sadly feels she needs an abortion..she will never tell you that because she knows she will no longer be in the family? Of course I respect that right of yours...just another area we disagree with. My kids know there is nothing they can do that will make me kick them out of the family, even if they do 100% of what I am against. Would I like it..no, but would they be a part of the family still....absolutely. mom of 3….do you know of any person who was totally raised one way..and then when they grew up, they made choices that were totally at odds with how they were raised?

It is none of my buisness,but i am in the U.K involved in this area and the misrepresentation of us is constantly attacked. WWhat a women does with her body should not have anything to do with you or government. Morals are based on behaviour,to say you would reject your own daughter is shocking. What is up with your country,you claim to be free. momof3,

If abortions were limited to fetuses without any brain function, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. We'd be having the euthanasia discussion instead.

Because of how she's raised. A pregnancy is possible yes, but abortion no. They are 5, and we talk about sex, and babies, and how sex is for marriage and babies need moms and dads. As they grow, we'll expand that to safe sex, and the possible consequences, and how they can come to us with them and we'll help. With anything but an abortion, and we'll explain why on that too. And yes, killing another member of our family is the ONLY thing that gets you kicked out of the family. "If you think it’s simple, you haven’t been paying attention." If you think it's not, you aren't paying attention to the stats. Google "man with no brain". There's a guy living I think in england, with no brain. Living a normal life. Had that been seen on ultrasound, he'd have been aborted I'm sure. Yet he's a functioning happy adult. No one can say what will happen with life. No one has the right to terminate another's at their whim. Bobby bb, no daughter I raised would do that. Because of how she’s raised. A pregnancy is possible yes, but abortion no.

I am not talking about no arms or legs..i am talking about no brain function, no ability to see/hear/feel/think/eat/take care of own bodily functions...nothing. Honestly can you say you would want to live like that..or can you call it living? I think using abortion as a means of birth control is despicable. I see many disabled folks who are wonderful, and my family would not consider an abortion for a minor disability. Then of course is the other issue of that I just don't think the gov't should get in the middle of this stuff. Thought the GOP was for limited gov't, but what I see is that they are for limited gov't other than morality issues. I am sure we will not see eye to eye on this, but appreciate your input was delivered without rudeness or attacking. Best of luck. Mom of 3….Thanks for your comment.

Have you people read "Brave New World?" I don't want a bunch of out-of-wedlock babies any more than you do, but this "solution" is outright insanity. You are literally advocating poisoning the water supply with steroids and forcing people to either drink it or distill their water. Birth Control in the water supply?
