Humans produce eggs. So do plants actually.

And are these people stupid or just ignorant? They don't even know how birth control pills work. Or even basic reproduction it would seem.

I'm glad I live in Canada where uneducated people like this have had no power for decades now.

We voted it down last time, we'll vote it down again & again, banning birth control, abortion & breastfeeding is stupid, & unconstitutional.

Way to go personhood people! 2 down, 48 states to go. Keep the movement active, contribute more money and waste more of your time. At least you won't be bothering the gays.

Extending personhood to a cluster of cells? What's next? Are they going to try to ban birth control and masturbation? -.-

People are going to kill...but that doesn't mean that we should lift the ban on murder.

Every life is valuable. The taking of a human life is murder. Period. No exceptions.

It is unnatural for any woman to think that the murder of her baby is perfectly O.K.

The women's Rights Movt. took the low road in my mother's youth. Glad to say that i'm not a feminist. Today's WRM is anti-woman and anti-little baby girls and boys.

I understand the pro-life position, I'm just not sure how a ban on abortion could be effectively enforced, short of creating a police state. And what are the legal ramifications? Would women and the doctors who are involved in abortions be prosecuted for first-degree murder?

[herbs814]

For the last time, abortion IS murder. Justice demands that abortion be prosecuted as murder.

[Fuctmentality]

Look for the last time fascism & murder actually have definitions so does legally. & We are not banning birth control, do you understand , it's not going to happen.

[herbs814]

Abortion IS murder. Only the Fascism (known as Roe v Wade) prevents the states from doing THE RIGHT THING (prosecuting abortion as Murder).

Abortion IS murder, philosophically AND legally. Once we revoke the worst court decision in American history, justice may finally be served again.

[Fuctmentality]

Keep telling your self that & maybe some day you'll believe it. But unfortunately abortion isn't murder as murder is either a legal term the unlawful killing of a human being, or a philosophical one the immoral killing of a human being. You can't legitimately call it a human being immediately after conception. There is no reason to give non sentient fetuses & embryos any rights.

@Fuctmentality

Abortion is an industry that exploits women and taxpayers. Abortion is an unforgivable and inhumane tyranny. Abortion is the most evil act in the entire world. There is nothing more evil than abortion. Abortion must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Abortion is ONLY legal to exploit women to make a profit. There is no other reason to MURDER innocent children.

Abortion is murder. It is only just to prosecute those who commit murder.
