    everyones entitled to their opinions. but if we're talking about make abortion legal or illegal, nobody cares what you think and your opinion does not matter. Because as long as abortion remains legal the politicians can use the promise of making it illegal to get votes, and campaign contributions, especially from the religious right. That kind of leverage is something no politician will give up.

    We should also cherish the life of the woman being forced to carry something in her body against her will.

    So that means the young woman who's over 21 and just discovered she was pregnant even though she was on the pill is really an evil Illuminati?
    :rolleyes:

    it's all a conspiracy. Planned Parenthood is run by aliens. Women who want sexual rights are just Illuminati conspirators working with aliens.
    :rolleyes:

    I am pro choice as in I don't think it should be made illegal (not at the beginning of a term anyways) but for myself I am pro-life no matter what. Oh, and not for religious reasons at all. You can have morals not based on religion.
    But, yea, most pro life ppl seem to have their views tied up in religion.

    no.

    there are plenty of people who aren't religious, but see abortion as ethically wrong.

    I think he's referring to a thread a while back about how if you spell illuminati backwards, type .com after it and put it in your browser it redirects to the NSA site. Of course all the nutjobs yelled conspiracy, but ends up some guy bought the address and made it redirect as a prank.
    Here's the thread

    right? and isn't "hood" a synonym for criminal?

    so planned criminal activity? evil in its purest form.

    Isn't that what I said? Like the same thing as you?

    Look again at what you quoted because I'm kinda confused now.

    I was saying abortion, no matter what, would be morally wrong for me and not for religious reasons at all. :)

    and that's fine. But what a woman does with her body should be kept in the doctor's office.... seriously, when did my cooch become a political issue?
    If you don't like abortions, don't get abortions. But leave everyone else alone and don't tell people what they can or can't do with their bodies. You KNOW if men were able to get pregnant abortion would be legalized in a heartbeat.

    Personally I'm against abortion, religion has a little to do with that, but not everything.

    Politically I'm pro choice. It's not the governments job to enforce morality.

    A man can't make one so he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one.

    I hold the personal belief that all life is sacred. Whether human, animal, fetus, or fertilized egg. That`s why I abstain from meat and various other animal products. Whether fully developed or not, it`s still a life, and to take a life is murder.
    Now is murder truly wrong? People hunt, they raise and butcher various animals, they abort fetuses, they pull the plugs on vegetative people, they euthanize the elderly/disabled, and they euthanize homeless animals. What defines the borders of what`s acceptable, assuming there is no god? The people.
    In the case of abortion, what would have come of the child if it hadn`t been killed? Likely he/she would have had a crappy home life with one, two, or no parents to raise them. Many are dumped off to grandparents, who may or may not care. Otherwise, they often end up making their rounds through foster care, which tends to also lead to a bad home life or series of bad home lives. Adoption, in many places, is unlikely for most children. Kids can spend years waiting to be adopted, if not their entire childhood and teen years. Abandonment is also a very real issue.
    There`s also the problem of over population.
    Of course, there`s also the cases of rape and incest, or women who will die if pregnancy continues.

    Outside of myself, I lean toward neutral. On a personal note, if I got knocked up, I`d bear the baby and raise it.
    Such is life.
