    Default Abortion wasn't always taboo in America

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    Legal or illegal, it doesn't change that having an abortion is nothing more than refusing to take responsibility for the results of a previous choice.

    There are lots of reasons not to take a pregnancy to term.. Being responsible is also about acknowledging a mistake.. Health, lack of money or lack of a partner and safe housing are all responsible considerations.

    Having more children than you can parent properly is also a responsible consideration.

    Being responsible is accepting the results of a choice one made knowing the choice could produce those results.

    Health reasons are a very, very, very, very small percentage of why women have abortions. Lack of a partner can't be a reason. They had a partner in order to get pregnant.

    Interesting how you mention things that were likely in place when the person chose to take the action that produced the result they want to kill.


    Why do those having children they can't afford worry about it. The more they have, the more people like me have to pay to support. They have no reason to stop if someone else is footing the bill.

    If a woman has the choice of what to do with her body and it's no one else's business, when she CHOOSES to have kids she can't support, why do the rest of us get the responsibility of paying for what was supposedly none of our business? Her kids aren't my responsibility. Her choice, her place to pay for it. If she can't, tough shit for them.

    I prefer to see children who are able to hold up signs that say "I was adopted, not aborted"....don't you?

    Even before Xtians started dictating morality to the rest of us, women have had the knowledge of herbs and other plant medicines that can induce a miscarriage/abortion. That being said with infant mortality much higher, the vast majority of ppl desired pregnancy and birth.

    I'm fairly sure that an aborted fetus -- or as you used to refer to it: "a clump of cells" -- is incapable of holding up a sign.

    The "clump of cells"comment was yours...guess your memory is failing you...
    And correct....an aborted child can't hold up a sign...very good observation...
