You're pregnant but don't think you are in a position to bring up a kid? Well tough shite you have to have it. What? You want a hand in raising the kid you KNEW you weren't in a position to raise? You must be joking.

interesting points... I am pro-life, but for reasons different than Michele Bachmann. (I am not voting for her) I am pro-life because I believe that unborn babies are humans and have a right to life. Should women be punished for miscarriages? Absolutely not; however, doctors should adhere to the Hippocratic Oath of "do no harm" while dealing with pregnant women and the unborn child.
On the abortion issue, I'm torn between wanting to keep women in their place and wanting to get rid of scum sucking kids that would just turn out to be criminals anyway...
@UltraProle21 you're kind of a dick to assume because a child isnt born under perfect circumstances it should be terminated because it may be a "scum sucking kid"
I agree with what you are saying about how she was using her story as leverage in politics. HOWEVER, I am completely pro life and stand by her movement. I don't think other women should be forced to do something just because of what happened to her, no. But, I do not agree with abortion. It's disgusting, and murder. To have a baby inside of you safe and warm and then sucked out to be killed is evil to go through with. & I'm not judgmental, I'm really not. But I stand by Pro Life!
@MsBEP90 - how can you be ok with her story and using that as leverage to begin this movement? She is trying to force her tradegy on other people to make abortion illegal and for her own personel gain. There are many circumstances that arise in life to where having the child is not the best thing for it.
How on earth does a single cell suffer more than an animal being slaughtered. Is it murder for me to kill one of my skin cells? No? Why not? What is the difference between a skin cell and a zygote? The fact it has half the DNA of its parents? So what?
Somehow this zygote, which is just a simple cell, should have more right to exist than a fully developed animal. Think about it - a zygote has no personality, no knowledge, nothing. It is just the result of two combined gamete cells.
@HepburnFlicks But you just think of the mother and how she deserves to be punished, yes that's true. But what about that poor child? He/She can't who choose their life and probably the one they would get from a mother like this is a shit one. Is that really fair?
@HepburnFlicks I agree. I'm entirely pro life. However, in certain situations it should be legal but monitored. If a woman has a high risk pregnancy, then it should be legal or if she's raped and gets pregnant. My sister is 16 and just had an abortion, and I love her but I am irate about it. I haven't talked to her in weeks, I told her it was wrong and she shouldn't have done it and that I forgive her but I can't forget. It's hurtful. A baby is so safe inside the womb and then sucked out..
@MsBEP90 I completely agree with you. If the woman's in life is in danger or if she has been raped, then of course she should be able to get an abortion. But if she knowing engaged in sex, she should not be surprised if she gets pregnant, therefore, she ought to go through with the pregnancy...
@HepburnFlicks It is only in extremely rare cases that abortion can even be mentioned as a potential means of saving the mother's life. Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, stated in a 1996 New York Times editorial that because of the advances in modern medicine, "partial-birth abortions are not needed to save the life of the mother" (1). (1) A19 of the national edition--of the New York Times on 9/26/96.)
@HepburnFlicks Sixteen years earlier, he wrote: "In my thirty-six years in pediatric surgery I have never known of one instance where the child had to be be aborted to save the mother's life." Even Planned Parenthood's Dr. Alan Guttmacher acknowledged, “Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive, unless she suffers from a fatal illness such as cancer or leukemia, and, if so, abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save, life.” (2)
@HepburnFlicks As it relates to abortion, the "life" of the mother is much different than the "health" of the mother. This is true because the Supreme Court's 1973 abortion ruling defined "health" so broadly that it almost becomes a throw-away term. Technically, abortion is illegal during the last trimester of pregnancy, unless it threatens the "health" of the mother.
@HepburnFlicks Since the Supreme Court defined health to include "physical, emotional, psychological, (or) familial" trauma, they effectively made abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy, for virtually any reason at all. Therefore, making an exception for the life of the mother is by no means comparable to making an exception for the health of the mother.
I read someplace they (the Bachmanns) get something like $70k per year for EACH of those 20-something foster children they have. I don't believe its only altruistic.
The death of a child is hard to take. It is pain that is hard to forget. I don't care if you've had an abortion, a miscarriage, or lost the baby later on, it causes severe trauma. People turn to drugs, alcohol, sex, and extreme things to overcome the pain of KNOWING that they took part in the death of their baby, it is something that one cannot forget. Many, such as the two people commenting and accusing this woman of lying, are in denial of their own pain.
Life. Liberty. And the Pursuit of Happiness. How can you ever have Liberty and Happiness when you are not given the right to life? If the child is putting the mother in serious danger, then yes, it is the medical duty of our doctors and the mother herself to do what has to be done. but to dodge the responsibility of taking care of a living human being because you were frivolous and stupid? Is the baby not a living thing just because we cannot see it? (I hate Michelle Bachmann)
Everything is black and white! There is no such this as subjective morals! (pay no attention to the fact there are many verses in the bible we ignore and cherry pick the ones we do.)
@fasfsdfasd O buddha buddha buddha... Care to show me in my comment where I said "all republicans"? I just said republicans, since that is the party that is trying to pass that law. So I didn't lie nor was I fraudulent you are just an idiot. I know a god doesn't cause abortions. Gods, Goddesses, Trolls, leprechauns, Pixies and the like don't cause anything because they are a figment of mans imagination. I don't know what you are bitching about anyway late term abortions are illegal in the U.S.
@fasfsdfasd Obviously you don't follow the news, the republicans want to put people in jail for having miscarriages. So I guess republicans need to learn the difference... I know the difference between a miscarriage and a abortion! A miscarriage is when god kills the baby even when the pregnancy is wanted and a abortion is when a doctor kills the baby only when it is not wanted or there is a threat to the mothers life.
That religious nut and her husband have had 28 kids (both theirs and adopted)??? Those 28 kids are screwed into delusional lives of magical thinking - unless they spend enough time on the internet, where religions come to die.
@urantiruslan@MrEschatologist More power to your efforts! Everyone should see this and vote for candidates who are for LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness via the US Constitution.
I'm proud that my presidential candidate's is pro-life, Ron Paul, as a doctor & his view of abortion: (quite touching)
Well if she was christian she would be for abortion her God supports abortion,
13:16 - "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."
She's demanding that, since Bachmann had a miscarriage, she (Bachmann) demands that all other women NOT murder their own children and I disagree.
I believe what Michelle has stood up for is the sanctity of life, which is so easily spit upon by the Liberal political machine, in Washington.
I have to wonder if Hillary Clinton, et al (all those, who demand a woman has a right to murder an unborn baby) are happy THEIR MOTHERS DIDN'T ABORT THEM!!
@meganmooresvideos - or move in - here in Germany, Religion is even more mistreated (except Islam) than in US. The mob would protest any speech of a "religious" politician.
Those Young Turks are more political than Bachmann and that is no compliment. Truth shall rule over reasoning.
In order to be pro-life, you don't have to be a religious fanatic. I'm not but I am pro-life for my own personal reasons. I would never tell a woman who gets pregnant that she doesn't have the right to choose what to do with the baby because I understand that there maybe circumstances that lead a woman to choose abortion. Maybe she doesn't have the support and or finances to raise a child, maybe she was raped and ended up pregnant. Personally for me, I could never make the decision to have one.
She is anti-choice because she's a religious fanatic. If she becomes president, im moving out of america, theres no way im going to stick around for another 4-8 years of conservative republican stupidity.
the only people to blame is ourselfs our wants and needs they grow and the world cant compete with our demands theres not enoth to go around we pay the ultiment price to contiue living
If she is pro-life then I bet she is pro-choice for parents not letting gay couples adopt, single mothers, single men? She used 23 foster kids as income....
"at that point we didnt think of ourselves as overly career minded or overly materialistic but when we lost that child it changed us"...we became overly career minded and overly matereialistic...HUH?...lunatic...yea ul DEFF be the next prez...her n hubby = total crazies...
Before she miscarried, she connected with her son/daughter as many mothers do when they find out they are pregnant. That experience strengthened her pro-life stance. She's just giving credence to the fact that there is an actual human life inside a pregnant woman. That's what I get from her testimony.
This doesn't make sense for being against abortion... You had a miscarriage, okay, it happens, it's sad but true. Pro-Choice doesn't mean you MUST get a abortion, it's a CHOICE! Look up the fucking word, my God.
My mother lost a baby to cancer then she had me, but she worked in an abortion clinic. What's your point??
Thanks to liberal policies America can no longer afford to pay for medicare, social security, unemployment and many other services. We also need to lower the minimum wage to $2/hr in order to compete with China and bring jobs back home. Fiscally responsible conservatives like Paul Ryan and Michele Bachmann know this and are currently
working to end these wasteful handout programs and bring the minimum wage down so that America can be great again. God bless the GOP!
Thank you for completely ignoring the first argument and focusing on an easier target. Observers: please extend my first argument.
Condoms, perfectly used, still only have a 98% prevention rate per couple per year. This means that one out of every 50 couples using a condom "perfectly" will still be pregnant in a given year. Typically used, the prevention rate is only 85%. People DO use condoms, and still occasionally "produce... children [they] don't want."

I hear Republicans are prosecuting Mothers that have miscarried... accusing them of doing something that may have caused the miscarriage. That's the big shame is that she would use something like a miscarriage to take a pro-life stance. That's sick. I thought she was against big gov't yet its ok for them to decide what goes on in my womb, those against abortion only seem to care about the fetus, piss on it after it actually becomes a child. says the evil liberal...
Genocide - The deliberate killing of a large group of people.
Kill - to cause the death of.
Death - ...The end of the life of a person or organism.
"Life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes from those that do not." (from Wikipedia)
A fetus is not self-sustaining => It is not alive => It cannot die => One cannot kill it, deliberately, or otherwise => to abort a large number of fetuses is not genocide.
You said you should only get an abortion if you get raped. I asked "on what grounds?" meaning, "On what grounds do you say that rape is the only reason for an abortion?"
@MVA15SEAL Wow you're pathetic and you know nothing about me. Those "Children" you speak of are created by TWO (count em) TWO people, not just one "whore" (but I guess in your case the whore could actually be the male). That Child is not a CHILD until it can live ON ITS OWN outside the mother's body...by approx 7 months or so usually.... And yes it IS about my own damn body....because it IS MY OWN DAMN BODY. Wow, you CAN do concepts !!!!!

^The Christian Right (CR)& Republicans often state that America was founded on Judeo Christian values. America's founding fathers were predominantly ATHEISTS& DEISTS. Republicans use abortion& gay rights issues to divide America during elections & to get CR support. After elections such issues are conveniently forgotten. By referencing biblical prophecy,the Isreal Lobby uses the CR to ensure that BILLIONS in U.S. tax$s keep flowing to Isreal. CHRISTIAN RIGHT A.K.A. USEFUL IDIOTS
Dumb bitch, your miscarriage proves that your god is the biggest abortionist ever. Michele Bachmann hates women and possibly just people in general. She DEFINITELY hates knowledge.
Some parts of America are as fucked up as tin-pot dictatorships. To give someone a criminal charge due to a miscarriage is not just wrong but makes me sick to no end. TYT was just discussing how miscarriages carry depressive symptoms with them for many women; to ignore the feelings of a living human being and in turn criminally punish her shows the same mental incapability for real human affection that was seen during Salem, the War of Drugs, and other right wing christian beliefs gone awry.
I don't agree with Ana's statement that "what happened to you shouldn't impact the lives of others". If that were the case, no-one's personal experiences would matter.
The issue here is that Bachmann's miscarriage DOES NOT MATTER; what does it have to do with a voluntary decision to end a [pregnancy? Did she attempt an abortion and changed her mind but lost the fetus anyway?
Bachmann sounds like a simpleton as usual, in her case by her own admission she and her spouse wanted the child, and they obviously have the means to raise a child. If you were a broke dropout working at Burger King with two kids already and the father decided to bail on you after he found out number 3 was on the way you might feel differently. Having a miscarriage isn't a logically coherent reason for being pro-life.
People look at things through there emotions. As you can see the reason she was able to get to that crowd was because the majority were women who are so sympathetic to here when a child dies that they feel obligated to hate abortion by any means when not knowing the full facts
i understand the arguments between pro-choice and pro-life, because although a set a cells is not a life, it is a potential life, hell those cells may have been the next albert einstien, but on the other hand women should be allowed to do what they want with their body, no one should be able to take the freedom away from a woman.... that is why i am pro-choice, but still do understand people who think abortion is wrong
@kazekage321414 every single sperm and ovum is a potential life, yet no one weeps for the eggs that die from menstruation or the billion of sperm that die any time a male ejaculates (even during conception). they could have been the next Einstein, but it's much more likely that they would've just been another faceless Joe Smith who lives to consume and doesn't leave any real impact on the world, like the rest of us. the pro-life stance is based solely on ignorance and emotional appeal.
I'm with Cenk on this one. My mother had a miscarriage and she was devastated to the point of almost giving up on having a second child, but she has never tried to dictate how others acted with the sympathy card; when her sister had an abortion, she didn't turn up her nose because she understood that people have control over their own bodies.
@LeftHandCookie Pro-life is wrong. It relies on the misconception that human life has inherent value rather than solely consisting of the value we decide to place upon it. You'll find that most of those mistaken beliefs are based on the idea that a mythological deity is responsible for instilling this inherent value. Religion has no place in the laws of a just society.
@StevenBee2 It's nothing to do with religion, but christians have a point. Call it a fetus, or an embyro or whatever, it's still a life. Why do you think you're getting an abortion anyway?
The GOP wants a fetus to be born at all costs yet they don't support programs that help the child throughout life such as food programs, FAFSA for college, etc.
@RationaIAthiest "The GOP wants a fetus to be born at all costs yet they don't support programs that help the child throughout life such as food programs, FAFSA for college, etc."
And most of them don't adopt or foster a bus load of children that they would've been so angry to have seen aborted.
@avnerrietti --Another note--The killing people thing? Only Prolifers think its ok to kill people who disagree with them about abortion, so this much doesn't surprise me about your response.
This exploit Bachmann is doing is unhuman in so many levels. I want to know how the fuck does miscarriage and abortion come hand in hand? Losing a baby by nature vs. by your own choice.....she's not making sense comparing her past to what's happening now, which is making her look more and more incredibly stupid. Now with laws arresting mothers because of miscarriage and still-born? Seriously what's wrong America?
Mrs. Bachmann....I still remember her telling her constituents in Minn. To be Armed & Dangerous when they disagree with policies. This was shortly before Congresswoman Giffords was shot in the head.
I'm from South Carolina (Summeriville to be specific) and I am a pro-choice liberal who is entering my 5th year serving in the U.S. Navy. As a woman who has experienced a miscarriage with my ex-husband I would not wish it or dictate it upon any woman ever, her choices. Having a family is a family decision, expected or not. I feel Michele Bachman is exploiting women who have undergone this traumatic experience.
People are being harsh on her. My mom did the same thing she grew up very liberal and pro-choice but then she hada miscarriage and it made her see how fragile life is and she became pro-life.
My big point is that until you've had a miscarriage it's really unfair to judge her. I'm not saying I agree with her, but I know this can happen. So to have Ana and Cenk judge her is IMO not really fair. Is her argument logical? Maybe not, but to say that she MUST have always been pro-life is wrong.
Don't get me wrong, I do agree with what you're saying. Even my mom had a miscarriage years back before my brother was born. It was devastating, but she didn't go all out telling women to not get abortions because of what happen to her..which I think Michelle is doing that is crossing the line in proving her point of view. She does have her own views and opinions on what she believes, and that's her. But honestly...she's an idiot to compare abortion to miscarriage.
Where are all of you pro lifers when they're shooting people at abortion clinics? THAT is murder. Where are all of you pro lifers when that baby is born and the mom is ill equipped or unable to afford to care for it and DOESN'T want to give it up for adoption? I'd bet you probably need to take care of things in your OWN life before you worry about someone elses.
@aSingleDallasGuy--Michele Bachmann did not CHOOSE to not have an abortion, she had a spontaneous abortion (Spontaneous abortion: A miscarriage, that is, any pregnancy that is not viable (the fetus cannot survive) or in which the fetus is born before the 20th week of pregnancy.) Every woman has the right to decide what she can do or not do with her own body and it should be NO ONE's decision but hers.
im not a conservative. i tend to be center-left. but i do think abortion is wrong. the fetus is living being. and they have rights. if a woman doesn't want the baby she can give it up for adoption. im not sure that making illegal in America is a smart choice because there are cases where abortion is needed (like rape or incest or mother's life in danger).
having said all that i still think michelle bachmann is a crazy right winger. i thought it was pointless for to bring up her miscarriage.
The Constitution does not define "person" in so many words. Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment contains three references to "person." The first, in defining "citizens," speaks of "persons born or naturalized in the United States." The word also appears both in the Due Process Clause and in the Equal Protection Clause. "Person" is used in other places in the Constitution:: in the listing of qualifications for Representatives and Senators, Art. I, § 2, cl. 2, and § 3, cl. 3;
@spaaron22 in the Apportionment Clause, Art. I, § 2, cl. 3; [53] in the Migration and Importation provision, Art. I, § 9, cl. 1; in the Emolument Clause, Art. I, § 9, cl. 8; in the Electors provisions, Art. II, § 1, cl. 2, and the superseded cl. 3; in the provision outlining qualifications for the office of President, Art. II, § 1, cl. 5; in the Extradition provisions, Art. IV, § 2, cl. 2, and the superseded Fugitive Slave Clause 3; and in the Fifth, Twelfth, and Twenty-second Amendments,
@spaaron22 as well as in §§ 2 and 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. But in nearly all these instances, the use of the word is such that it has application only post-natally. None indicates, with any assurance, that it has any possible pre-natal application.
The false logic of the anti abortion movement is amazing.
To them a woman having an abortion is a hideous crime but when the same people who scream "murderer" at desperate women outside abortion clinics have breakfast in the morning and they fry up a couple of eggs they are in fact murderers themselves because each egg they break has the potential to be a living chicken but they just call it eggs sunny side up with bacon toast and coffee and go on with wasting their days annoying strangers.
Good grief!! How low can you TYT's go? Talk about scraping at the bottom of a barrel! Here is a woman raising 28 kids and you find her to have a moral problem? Really? How about killing a human baby being a moral problem? Do you recognize that? What a bunch of hypocrites! While you want to see women killing babies all over this country, she CHOSE not to. In fact to raise many, many children with a good life. That you find insulting? Unlike you scumbags, she didn't check her morals at the door!
For Michelle Bachmann taking in foster kids was and is an easy way to make lots of money with little effort never mind that she uses them as little more than live in help on her "farm" and "home schools" them through what could be described as forced labor.
When I think of a strong conservative woman I think of a Margret Thatcher type (strong sensible forward thinking and intelligent) not a Michelle Bachmann type (stupid vacuous ignorant and backwards).
@Hammerhead547 ... What a pathetic little man you are! I see, so here we have a woman adopting kids and providing a loving home. Whil you on the other hand would of prefered they were killed by abortions! You talk down as if somehow you have a moral superior view? When your view in immoral and sick! To use this point to try to establish you are a liberal moron is stupid! This is your million dollar view? LOL what a mental case by a mental midget!
In case you haven't noticed "Rational" Athiest, this is where the whole debate lies. Also that chick needs to undertake a philosophy class. Authorities are needed to take a view point. Her Authority was her personal experience and using words like 'dictating' shows that TYT are using emotive language to persuade their viewers.
I had a miscarriage myself...and wouldn't dream of using that to try to tell other women what to do with their own bodies. I truly believe that if men could have babies, the abortion "issue" would not exist. Can you imagine a man's reaction to telling him what to do with his body? Michele Bachman is pathetic.
@Gram2jalen I can imagine people forcing a man to do something to is body. Young, very very young men, called babies, are circumsised everyday for religious or cultural reasons.
@MrG0TH1ER ==Let me clarify man as an "adult human male" that is of the age of consent if he had the ability to be pregnant. Babies, whether male OR female, are not equipped to have children.
It's still an issue because of the fact that a lot of women are pro life, not because of men. The pro lifers are generally split 50/50 between men and women. If women were pro choice in overwhelming numbers, I don't think this issue would exist.
You're pregnant but don't think you are in a position to bring up a kid? Well tough shite you have to have it. What? You want a hand in raising the kid you KNEW you weren't in a position to raise? You must be joking.
Remember boy's and girls. Pro-life concern about kids ends at birth.

@HepburnFlicks I agree. I'm entirely pro life. However, in certain situations it should be legal but monitored. If a woman has a high risk pregnancy, then it should be legal or if she's raped and gets pregnant. My sister is 16 and just had an abortion, and I love her but I am irate about it. I haven't talked to her in weeks, I told her it was wrong and she shouldn't have done it and that I forgive her but I can't forget. It's hurtful. A baby is so safe inside the womb and then sucked out..

@MsBEP90 I completely agree with you. If the woman's in life is in danger or if she has been raped, then of course she should be able to get an abortion. But if she knowing engaged in sex, she should not be surprised if she gets pregnant, therefore, she ought to go through with the pregnancy...

@HepburnFlicks It is only in extremely rare cases that abortion can even be mentioned as a potential means of saving the mother's life. Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, stated in a 1996 New York Times editorial that because of the advances in modern medicine, "partial-birth abortions are not needed to save the life of the mother" (1). (1) A19 of the national edition--of the New York Times on 9/26/96.)

@HepburnFlicks Sixteen years earlier, he wrote: "In my thirty-six years in pediatric surgery I have never known of one instance where the child had to be be aborted to save the mother's life." Even Planned Parenthood's Dr. Alan Guttmacher acknowledged, “Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive, unless she suffers from a fatal illness such as cancer or leukemia, and, if so, abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save, life.” (2)
theDotGeek 4 months ago
@HepburnFlicks As it relates to abortion, the "life" of the mother is much different than the "health" of the mother. This is true because the Supreme Court's 1973 abortion ruling defined "health" so broadly that it almost becomes a throw-away term. Technically, abortion is illegal during the last trimester of pregnancy, unless it threatens the "health" of the mother.
theDotGeek 4 months ago
@HepburnFlicks Since the Supreme Court defined health to include "physical, emotional, psychological, (or) familial" trauma, they effectively made abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy, for virtually any reason at all. Therefore, making an exception for the life of the mother is by no means comparable to making an exception for the health of the mother.

The death of a child is hard to take. It is pain that is hard to forget. I don't care if you've had an abortion, a miscarriage, or lost the baby later on, it causes severe trauma. People turn to drugs, alcohol, sex, and extreme things to overcome the pain of KNOWING that they took part in the death of their baby, it is something that one cannot forget. Many, such as the two people commenting and accusing this woman of lying, are in denial of their own pain.

In order to be pro-life, you don't have to be a religious fanatic. I'm not but I am pro-life for my own personal reasons. I would never tell a woman who gets pregnant that she doesn't have the right to choose what to do with the baby because I understand that there maybe circumstances that lead a woman to choose abortion. Maybe she doesn't have the support and or finances to raise a child, maybe she was raped and ended up pregnant. Personally for me, I could never make the decision to have one.

Thank you for completely ignoring the first argument and focusing on an easier target. Observers: please extend my first argument.
Condoms, perfectly used, still only have a 98% prevention rate per couple per year. This means that one out of every 50 couples using a condom "perfectly" will still be pregnant in a given year. Typically used, the prevention rate is only 85%. People DO use condoms, and still occasionally "produce... children [they] don't want."
You're in the wrong.

"Life is a characteristic that distinguishes objects that have signaling and self-sustaining processes from those that do not." (From Wikipedia)
A fetus is not self-sustaining.
∴ it is not alive.
∴ one cannot "kill" a fetus (take away its life) in the strict sense of the word.
∴ you cannot accuse one of being a feminist on the grounds which you lay.
Furthermore, most aborted fetuses are the result of intercourse between couples. Unless you want to ban all sex not for procreation...

Bachmann sounds like a simpleton as usual, in her case by her own admission she and her spouse wanted the child, and they obviously have the means to raise a child. If you were a broke dropout working at Burger King with two kids already and the father decided to bail on you after he found out number 3 was on the way you might feel differently. Having a miscarriage isn't a logically coherent reason for being pro-life.

@aSingleDallasGuy--Michele Bachmann did not CHOOSE to not have an abortion, she had a spontaneous abortion (Spontaneous abortion: A miscarriage, that is, any pregnancy that is not viable (the fetus cannot survive) or in which the fetus is born before the 20th week of pregnancy.) Every woman has the right to decide what she can do or not do with her own body and it should be NO ONE's decision but hers.

im not a conservative. i tend to be center-left. but i do think abortion is wrong. the fetus is living being. and they have rights. if a woman doesn't want the baby she can give it up for adoption. im not sure that making illegal in America is a smart choice because there are cases where abortion is needed (like rape or incest or mother's life in danger).
having said all that i still think michelle bachmann is a crazy right winger. i thought it was pointless for to bring up her miscarriage.

To them a woman having an abortion is a hideous crime but when the same people who scream "murderer" at desperate women outside abortion clinics have breakfast in the morning and they fry up a couple of eggs they are in fact murderers themselves because each egg they break has the potential to be a living chicken but they just call it eggs sunny side up with bacon toast and coffee and go on with wasting their days annoying strangers.

Good grief!! How low can you TYT's go? Talk about scraping at the bottom of a barrel! Here is a woman raising 28 kids and you find her to have a moral problem? Really? How about killing a human baby being a moral problem? Do you recognize that? What a bunch of hypocrites! While you want to see women killing babies all over this country, she CHOSE not to. In fact to raise many, many children with a good life. That you find insulting? Unlike you scumbags, she didn't check her morals at the door!

For Michelle Bachmann taking in foster kids was and is an easy way to make lots of money with little effort never mind that she uses them as little more than live in help on her "farm" and "home schools" them through what could be described as forced labor.
When I think of a strong conservative woman I think of a Margret Thatcher type (strong sensible forward thinking and intelligent) not a Michelle Bachmann type (stupid vacuous ignorant and backwards).

@Hammerhead547 ... What a pathetic little man you are! I see, so here we have a woman adopting kids and providing a loving home. Whil you on the other hand would of prefered they were killed by abortions! You talk down as if somehow you have a moral superior view? When your view in immoral and sick! To use this point to try to establish you are a liberal moron is stupid! This is your million dollar view? LOL what a mental case by a mental midget!

In case you haven't noticed "Rational" Athiest, this is where the whole debate lies. Also that chick needs to undertake a philosophy class. Authorities are needed to take a view point. Her Authority was her personal experience and using words like 'dictating' shows that TYT are using emotive language to persuade their viewers.

I had a miscarriage myself...and wouldn't dream of using that to try to tell other women what to do with their own bodies. I truly believe that if men could have babies, the abortion "issue" would not exist. Can you imagine a man's reaction to telling him what to do with his body? Michele Bachman is pathetic.

@Gram2jalen I can imagine people forcing a man to do something to is body. Young, very very young men, called babies, are circumsised everyday for religious or cultural reasons.

@MrG0TH1ER ==Let me clarify man as an "adult human male" that is of the age of consent if he had the ability to be pregnant. Babies, whether male OR female, are not equipped to have children.

Not just pathetic, she's an idiot.
I can't stand her nor can I stand her talking...the more she speaks the more stupid she becomes.
It surprises me people support her.

It's still an issue because of the fact that a lot of women are pro life, not because of men. The pro lifers are generally split 50/50 between men and women. If women were pro choice in overwhelming numbers, I don't think this issue would exist.

@Gram2jalen the child in you is in your body but it is NOT just your body. Would you say now, that your mom is your body?
