1. Your assumptions are once again incorrect. I read what I needed to read. Also, I did not say that all women regret their abortions. Read again, I said about 80% regret their choice.
2. My son is 4 years old now, i have been on birth control from the time of his birth. Guess what? It worked. Really don't want pregnancy, then DONT HAVE SEX. Also, I have always planned) from the time I thought about having children) to adopt a child but i would like one or two of my own as well. I am a student at the moment so it is out of the question.
3. Many of the complications that i spoke of can be predetermined now with the technology and knowledge that we have. Also, I do not appreciate you twisting my words in an attempt to push your beliefs upon me. I will believe what i want to believe and you can do the same.
4. "
That mindset that because it's painful for one person to miscarry, it MUST be painful for all people to abort, is rather self-centered. There is a huge difference between a miscarriage and an abortion. The most glaring difference is viability of the fetus. The other is the woman's desire to actually procreate and carry a pregnancy to term" . I said nothing relating to this, again jumping to conclusions. What i was referring to is women throwing away the gift of a child, not batting a single eyelash of the idea while others struggle to carry to full term or even conceive. ALSO, adoption is a long and expensive process, I am sure in the future my Aunt and Uncle may make the decision to adopt but my family doesn't speak of such things. It is their business as a couple. I only know what i know because she chose to share it with me when seeking comfort.

The link you asked for ...mentions the doctor using scissors to cut the spinal cord to kill the child that was an attempted abortion. ... gruesome stuff. Also, If it doesn't happen then why is there now a law to ensure that babies born alive during abortions are protected and given health care? A law without a reason, I don't think so.

Nurse quits abortion clinic after baby is born alive1: Where did you pull that 80% from? and while you may not have said it, you used a generalization that insinuated ALL. Nice to see you now backpedaling from your insinuation of all to an arbitrary number that you seem to have magically pulled out of your rear end. What reputable, non-pro-life biased source gave you that 80% number?
2: Good for you, your birth control is working. Guess what, it doesn't always work for everyone else. By the way, WHO in the nine ******** are you to tell me not to have sex with my partner? I've made a conscious choice to NEVER have children, but I'll be damned if some b***h on the internet will tell me that I am NEVER allowed to have sex because of it. If my partner gets pregnant, come Hell or high water, we are getting an abortion, legal or not, no matter how dangerous, because we NEVER want children.
Wanna talk sterilization? I'm 32 years old, I've been looking since I was 18 for a doctor to perform a vasectomy. I can't find one. The reason they repeatedly give me is because "What if you change your mind" which I won't, and "I'm not getting sued if your vasectomy is not reversible and you change your mind" which I won't. I've even offered to sign waivers stating that I have NO LEGAL RECOURSE should I be unable to have my vasectomy reversed. But, doctors still will not sterilize me because I have no children. It's even worse for many women seeking sterilization. I've even expressed interest in the fact that IF (which will never happen) I change my mind and want kids, I'll adopt. Most common retort to that, "But it's not the same as your own biological children." ******** that noise. I'm 32 and I don't want kids, and people question my choice every day, however, a 15-year old wanting to have kids by 16 is often lauded and seen as mature. Why is it that a 15-year old is capable of having her decision respected, but I, at 32, am seen as wishy-washy and prone to changing my mind on a whim. Who's more likely to regret their decision? And guess what, I'd MUCH rather regret not having kids than regret having them.
Oh, and by the way, the whole "Don't have sex" bullshit isn't even 100% effective. It fails. It's called rape. If you don't know about it, look it the ******** up, and stay the ******** out of my bedroom.
3: First off, I am not twisting your words. I'm presenting EXACTLY what you're giving me. Trying to claim that I'm twisting your words is like pissing in a bowl of cheerios and telling me it's milk. Second, yes, technology has improved, but it does NOT detect the sudden onset of pregnancy complications, and sometimes, by the time complications set in, it's too late to do anything about it. But, you don't appear to care. You're only focused on complications that have clear signs up front and actually offer time to treat them. It's quite convenient that you ignore complications that can, within an hour of occurring, kill a pregnant woman. Not all pregnancies are the same, and not all women have the same reactions to complications.
4: You call it jumping to conclusion, I call it the insinuation of your words and the only viable conclusion to be drawn from information you present. By the way, it's not my place to bring children into this world so that people who cannot have children can adopt. I am not a breeding stud, nor is my partner a broodmother, here solely to populate your orphanage so your sterile Aunt and Uncle can have their fancy new designer baby. They want kids but can't have them, that's not my problem, and I am under no obligation to procreate so that they can experience raising a child.
Furthermore, you're claiming that children are a gift. PROVE IT. Remember, one man's treasure is another man's garbage. Suppose, as an example, that I view human excrement as gold. Should I have the right to demand that you not flush your s**t down the toilet because I view it as valuable? That very idea is laughable as ********, isn't it? But guess what, that's exactly what you're trying to do. You're trying to ensure that someone suffers through something they view as a curse because you call it a gift. Kindly stop trying to force your views that s**t is gold onto me.
5: Your first link,
Cybercast News Service, is a right-wing biased source. The Right wing bias is apparent, and their views are blatantly Pro-Life. Source is invalid. Even Fox News is more reputable, and I'd actually be willing to trust them as a source for this. But no, you had to go find a Pro-Life source because that's the ONLY kind of source you can find.
Your second source,
American Center for Law & Justice, is a conservative Christian law firm. Guess what, also a Pro-Life bias. Not a valid source.
Your third source,
World Net Daily, is an American web site that publishes news and associated content from the perspective of U.S. conservatives and the political right. I'm noticing a trend here. You can't find an unbiased source, so you stick you your bias.
Your fourth source, which doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry (which is incredibly laughable) is Lifenews, a site that even prides itself as a Pro-life news media outlet covering abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and stem cell research. Seriously? Pro-Life media outlet? Yeah, that's the most biased source you've offered yet. Still, you've given me no reputable sources, only sites with blatant Pro-Life bias.
and your final source?
National Right to Life Committee, is the oldest and the largest national pro-life organization in the United States with affiliates in all 50 states and over 3,000 local chapters nationwide. The group works through legislation and education to work against induced abortion. Yeah, the bias there is so blatant I could see it without clicking the link. You've provided nothing reputable at all.
Seriously, I even threw you a bone with Fox News and their blatant Right-Wing, Pro-Life bias, and you can't even offer a single news story from there. Instead, the only "stories" you seem to be digging up are from Pro-Life mouthpieces that will spew any kind of bullshit half-truths, and falsified data to point a finger and say, "look, we were right, even though we're lying so hard you can see it from a mile away." Look, I'm not asking for much here. Just one reputable news source, something that doesn't try to push Pro-Life as the second coming of Jesus. But, you can't even do that. You haven't once, in any post, provided a source that wasn't a Pro-Life mouthpiece. Is that too difficult a task for you? Can you not find a reputable source to support your claims? Are your claims only valid because your blatantly biased sources say they are?
