Welcome to Gaia! ::

The credulity required to believe that a stroke of a judges pen can actually make an inherently dangerous act safe is truly mind-boggling. Induced abortion is inherently dangerous because it deliberately seeks to destroy one innocent human life, and it violates a natural process set in motion at fertilization. The only thing that has mitigated the physical dangers of induced abortion was the discovery of antibiotics, which reduced the risk of some infections; however, women still die of infections from "safe & legal" abortions, and infection is but one of dozens of medically recognized physical abortion complication risks.

"Safe & Legal abortions" are thus a fantasy, as any of these women

and doubtless, many others like them, would attest if they could speak. They can't speak because they are all DEAD, from "safe & legal" induced abortions.

Their abortionists should be punished for double homicide because they intended to kill at least one innocent human being, and knew good and well that they were endangering the life of the mother as well.

Abortion does not cure or treat any actual disease or injury (pregnancy is not a disease; it is a normal function of a healthy reproductive system). It does deliberately take the life of an innocent person. Thus, it is not healthcare, but murder.

Pavone's advocacy of offering help to women faced with unplanned pregnancies is a no-brainer, whether killing the unborn is legal or not; however, his reticence to exempt women from punishment for their part in the deliberate murder of their children, just because those children are preborn, is sexist and unjust. Murder is murder, and she should be punished at least as an accessory, as should anyone else - of either sex - who can be proven beyond reasonable doubt to have pushed her to it, or participated in it. Proven extenuating circumstances might be accorded some leniency, however, such as minors pregnant by statutory rape, or incest...but then, it will be more difficult to establish the guilt of the perps of the rape/incest without the baby's DNA handy.
No wonder the proaborts milked the "rape/incest" thing for all it was worth in garnering public sympathy for Roe. Rapists and molesters get freedom from accountability, and the abortionists get more money killing off their children. What a deal.

None of us would be here if we had not spent some time inside the body of another person, as all of us did. So if you take away legal protection from any of us who are spending time in the place naturally constructed for all of us to begin life, you jeopardize all of us who began our in that manner. QUALITY OF LIFE MINUS SANCTITY OF LIFE EQUALS GENOCIDE; discrimination based on age or place of residence(in or ex utero)doesn't change that. The fact that you weren't killed in utero does not alter the fact that had you been killed in utero, it is not a "mere foetus" that wouldn't be here now, but the person you are now. Got it? So deal with it already!

Oh, and check out Demographicwinter.com.

Interesting, I've never met a pro-deather yet who didn't use that "overcrowded planet" b.s. to try to justify his/her part in the mass slaughter of innocents...or one with the guts to leave the planet him/herself, rather than kill others to make it more accomodating for him/her. Not that I recommend suicide; but then I don't buy into Malthus/Erdreich's long discredited population bombscare. Just pointing out that with the Population Police, it's always about imposing his/her view, fatally, on others, for one's own comfort; the epitome of selfishness, injustice, hypocrisy and cruelty.

Induced abortion is inherently dangerous because it deliberately seeks to destroy one innocent human life, and it violates a natural process set in motion at fertilization.

The only thing that has mitigated the physical dangers of induced abortion was the discovery of antibiotics, which reduced the risk of some infections; however, women still die of infections from "safe & legal" abortions, and infection is but one of dozens of medically recognized physical abortion complication risks.

Well if they did make abortion ilegal and women were going elswhere to get abortions, even risking their lives, I wouldn't have any sympathy for them. It's a mother trying to kill her child so what good to this world can she be??
Women get abortions mainly out of fear. They know it's wrong, but they are afraid of childbirth, being a mother, and own lives being altered. Selfish huh? They're other reasons of course like what will their friends and parents think, economic reasons, but if you live in America you can get mostly everything free if you are of low income and have a child. The main reason given to the clinics for abortions is "elective" so there you go.

Plus, life begins at conception, everyone knows that

--Any man against abortion should not have sex, because of the risk of unwanted pregnancy. A baby takes two, so remove yourself from the situation if the solution makes you uncomfortable.

Correct. In America we do use words however we want. I will elaborate when I get back from mass or on tomorrow. I love everybody except Lord Setar.

Thanks to people like you who "believe" that life begins after birth, abortion will continue to be alive and well. Before you go online typing and farting off your views, or should I say opinions-which everyone is entitled to.....get the facts. First and foremost, SHAME ON YOU for calling Jill Stanek a liar. There are TONS of horrible, ILLEGAL things that go on behind closed doors @ abortion clinics-and she just happens to be one of those individuals that's brave enough to blow the whistle on these clinics. At 25 days old, the BABY has a heartbeat. Do you want to argue a scientific fact now? Knock yourself out. LIFE BEGINS @ CONCEPTION.
It's such a shame that all of you Non-Christians go around preaching how it's okay to kill unborn babies and that it's the "woman's right". God says that that's a sin. By the way-aren't you glad that you're mother didn't choose to abort you?.......YAY PRO-LIFE. (Just something for you to ponder).

I saw that! ("Sayna" in the comments is me. That's my usual online name.)

In fact, it's what inspired me to go looking into what else she's said. The blog is fairly tame, but her World Net Daily columns are just ******** insane.

Hey, did you also notice that she posted one of the pro-choicers' comments on her blog? One woman said that she had a late-term abortion when she found out that her baby would never have been able to survive, and when Stanek introduced the quote to her readers, she said that the woman aborted it simply because it was "disabled", making it seem like she just didn't want a disabled child and not ignoring the fact that she didn't want to give birth to a child that would just suffer and die. People on the blog were saying that the woman was selfish and immoral for aborting, and that it was God's choice and not hers.

I never saw Stanek ask permission to use the quote.

I agree that Planned Parenthood isn't all about abortion. It is mostly about abortion and ridding the world of "human weeds," to quote Margaret Sanger, PP's foundress and eugenicist who inspired the Nazis.

It troubles me that more women DON'T report such symptoms. This suggests that a certain hardness and/or indifference to life has become the norm, owing in no small measure to the virtually unlimited abortion license that the Burger Court imposed on the country, its declaration that unwanted unborn human life is, as a matter of constitutional law, living garbage, fit for disposal by any and all means.

Sayna, have YOU ever had an abortion? Did YOU feel just great about it? Do you suppose that I don't feel the anguish of my SISTERS who have had abortions, who told me how bitterly they regretted being forced into making a "choice" that was nowhere close to being free? Who the hell are you, anyway, to tell me what I think, and that I hate women? Has anyone ever called you a sexist sow? Well, allow me to do just that.
