8 abortion doctors have been killed since the passage of Roe vs Wade and there have been 51 million abortions including about 15 million legal abortions after 3 months gestation. Pro lifers have also been killed including a pro life protester gunned down in michigan this year while holding anti- abortion signs.

The right to choose - Life. It's a refreshing message - that we seldom hear.

@StoogeWatcher What makes you say that?

@remshot1998 It is always the woman's choice because she is the one putting her life and health on the line. Pregnancy and childbirth isn't risk free. Women still die and suffer seroius health consequences from being pregnant. Plus, if the father does decide to walk away, the woman is stuck footing the medical bill. Men can have a say once they can carry the fetus and put themselves at risk.

@lancelovesgolf101 It’s not a person’s choice. It’s woman’s choice. If a man finds out his girlfriend is pregnant and is thrilled about becoming a father she can still abort his child against his wishes. If a man doesn’t want to become a father than his girlfriend can give birth and make him a father anyway. It is the WOMAN that has all of the say. So saying that it’s a woman’s choice is absolutely correct. If you want the right to abortion than you get the responsibility that comes with it.

well said and so very true.

@destinws2 She said "moral" and that is open to interpretation--it can be God, or it can be your own values.

I think a lot of people are thrown off by the language used in discussions about abortions. Statements like "It's a woman's choice" and "only women should make the decision" often rub people the wrong way. Regardless of what you believe, I would recommend people to rephrase their statements to "a person's choice" or "a person's decision".

Pro-choice my you know what. Planned Parenthood doesn't respect Pamela Tebow's right to choose not to abort.

[destinws2]

In addition to the "medical and world considerations" she also weighed considerations about what she thought about God.
