Pelosi at Netroots abstinence-only question

How can you force a woman to go through childbirth? If you don't allow abortion, won't an adamant woman just get an unsafe abortion that will harm or even kill her and most certainly destroy the possible life? A woman doesn't need the permission of others to abort part of her body- the scientific community have determined a safe period in which to abort and a period when the developing fetus will not be conscious or in. You can't 'murder' a developing fetus; murder extends to a developed human.

Are you saying that a one-year old is a developed human?? How come that it counts as murder if the child is out of the womb for only ten minutes? Why isn't it murder 10 minutes BEFORE the abortion? Shouldn't then a woman be allowed to dispose of a child after birth if she wishes? Why isn't that allowed? After all, it came from "HER" body, right? Like those who tryed to defend slavery in the 1850's, you are on the wrong side of history. The CHILD's rights must be protected as well.

But unborn children aren't killed 10 minutes before abortion. Embryos are aborted usually one or two trimesters after conception. They have no awareness of their abortion. And don't compare this to slavery, there is no similarity, particularly when your the conservative.

I Most certainly WILL compare this to slavery. There is a time to be liberal and a time to be conservative. And in case you aren't aware, there is a thing called "partial birth-abortion". And this does compare to slavery. Both are horrid evils. Scientific studies have shown that the child does feel pain based on reactions. And who are you to say they have no awareness? Would you say that a six month old would not have any awareness if it was killed?

It seems that people such as yourself wish to be liberal in all areas even if it is wrong. You reject balance in favor of Far-Left Radicalism. You shun one evil while you defend another. You speak of the person inside as if it were some organ. When in fact, you yourself were once in that stage. I question whether it would've been ok with you if you yourself had been aborted. Why don't you try looking through the child's eyes for once and realize they are being punished for nothing they did.

I am not liberal. The majority of the scientific community have accepted that it neither causes pain to the potential life nor harms the mother. The majority of social and family planning workers find abortion to be the inevitable choice of the mother, and they can hope only that she does it safely. With the majority of qualified scientists, and qualified social workers, who defends abortion? Few, often left field scientists, a minority of social workers and a surplus of unqualified moralists.
