Abortion: Beyond the Politics of Life and Choice

Beyond the Politics of Life and Choice weaves together interviews with activists, legal experts, theologians, seminarians, college students, service providers, and women for whom the decision to terminate or not to terminate a pregnancy has been a formative event in their lives. The result is unique, and the speakers are compelling—wise, compassionate, and principled. They bring surprising insights to a subject fraught with tension, prejudice, shame, and fear:
• Who decides?
• Roe v. Wade
• Sex
• Young people
• Baby or not?
• Contraception
• Shame
• Social justice
• Murder or not?
• Sexism

Dude, if someone gets into a car wreck, and only their kidneys survive, is it still human? No, it's got no damn brain. Just because it has DNA of a person doesn't mean that a particular collection of cells is human. If that were true, every time a male masturbates, he would be committing genocide. Stop using such ridiculous terms, it only makes you look foolish and attracts the stupidest of people to your cause.

Abortion is the killing of innocent babies.

Don't try to use other words like zygote,

embryo, fetus to make it seem like that

baby is not human because that's exactly

what the baby is, human. Life begins

at conception not whenever people feel

like it. REPENT AND STOP KILLING

INNOCENT BABIES, THERE SHOULD

BE NO ISSUE, IT'S MURDER.

aborting a fetus doeint stop you from being a parent, it just makes you a parent of a dead baby.

[stevienickslover]

lol, not many good pro choice arguments here, most are snide remarks

[Afterthebears]

UM acccccuuaaallly im a 15 year old TEEEN . are anybody a parent out there? did even realize how much this is affecting teens instead of helping! there is no choice in the matter..if there is anyone that doesnt want there baby give her\him to me im sure i can find loving people who dream about what you have given away..this matter has thrown me out of school and ive lost many friends over it..ITS MURDER

[redemption136]

PRECISELY! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that its most often religious fanatics...or men, who are anti-abortion. If a woman does not want a child, then they shouldn't have to have it. What if they had been raped and were pregnant with a child? Should they have to go and be forced to have that child? I don't think so. I have a choice as a woman to do what I want with my body, and whether I want to live with a baby or not is entirely up to me.

You obviously have no brainwave activity.

[Janvierireland]

There are brainwaves at 18 days and at 8 weeks there is a functioning brain

[stevebarat]

But when the fetus in one to five months old, it's not yet a human being! Why should these old Bible thumping men in congress control women's bodies?

[buriedalive17]

They take a miscarriage at 30 weeks and say it is an abortion at ten weeks. They lie about 20 weeks of growth. The miscarriages they use are ones that almost qualify as a stillborn with no deformities. They prefer if the fetus had to be medically removed, because then it is almost always dismembered and then they pass it off as a third trimester abortion. Pro-Life as a whole does not lie, but unfortunately they trust the few who are lying to them and the public.
