I seen a bumper sticker the other day that sayed "If you can read this, you were not aborted, now thank your mother", and it got me to thinking about the issue...
Ya'know, Something has always got me about that. Liberals and their democratic party tend to be into supporting human causes. For the equal treatment of all races and sexes, for welfare, supporting various medical causes, and in support if baby killing. Huh? Wait a minute, back up here, you guys kill babies in your spare time? Yipes!
I know full and well it isn't that simple, but it seems pretty similar. ...
My biggest issue is partial birth abortion. In a quote from wikipedia, partial birth abortion goes like this...
The doctor subsequently extracts the fetus, usually without the aid of forceps, leaving only the head still inside the birth canal. An incision is made at the base of the skull, scissors are inserted into the incision and opened to widen the opening, and then a suction catheter is inserted into the opening. The brain is suctioned out, which causes the skull to collapse and allows the fetus to pass more easily through the birth canal
In laymens terms, the kid is yanked out, stabbed in the head, gets its brain sucked out, then trashed. Ewww!!!
Yet, people, including many libertarians, believe it is a breach of the mothers rights to make this illegal. I see it different. The fetus is a human, or human in progress at least, therefore this would be a breach of its rights to brains. Solved that.
One arguement for this abortion was so "it didn't occur illegally in underground facilities that use questionable methods". That would be like defending the legalization murder by saying "hey, at least you don't have to deal with mobsters and organized crime to get hitmen"
Still, others have told me the mother has the right to its life cause its in her body. That would be fine and dandy if the baby was killing here in some way, but the fact is its sort of the natural process, and hey, it did not get in there all in its own. She gave it permission to enter at one point.
Still, its an issue that i truthfully think everyone is right at, yes the mother has a right to her own self, but the baby has a right to itself to, and the two intrests here conflict. Figure it out.

hej i don't agree with you. If your main focus is the baby, you have to think about its wellfare.
Mothers don"t abort babies for fun.(atleast sane ones) Its a hard decision! But lets have it your way. The baby gets "saved". So its putt up for abortion, because the mother can"t take care of it. (maybe money issues, or doenst have a home, yada yada)
The child lives in more fosterhomes, doesn"t really know love, and this will effect her/his entire live!!
I dont think of it as a human, because it doesn't feel or know its alive yet. From my point of view the babies are saved.
