Murder killer nice buzz words you've got there. If all that stuff you alluded to come to pass, and there is never again a reason for a woman to want one. Great, until then if a woman has something in her body that she doesn't want in it, her choice. I like you am anti abortion, but I'm also pro choice.
Most of the fervent pro lifers are only pro life until the child is born, then they could give a shit what happens to the child, youth,and adult that comes after. How many more children do we need, we already have plenty. How many have you fostered?
How much time do you spend volunteering at an orphanage?

Why call yourself Pro-Life? Why not call it like it is Anti-Abortion. I would think some one calling themselves pro-Life would be interested in the quality of life. Anti-Abortion is about your right to make decisions for others. Maybe Anti-Freedom would be a more descriptive term. I am against the Anti-Freedom crowd no matter what kind of mask they try to hide behind. Go in peace.

This seems to have hit a nerve considering all the comments. At one time I was against abortion. That was before I heard other sides. I find the present pro-life movement extremely anthropocentric. Even though we may be non-religious and don't believe in immortality we somehow feel our species is special to the point of dismissing all others, many upon whom we are dependent. In reality it should be termed pro-LIFE (writ large to include all other life forms). Our life form is destroying many, many others.

The context of the 2nd para is one in an idealistic world. We don't have the resources for 3.5+ billion women. It assumes all women would be loving, caring mothers, they are not (I have experienced examples of this). It is also not just about women. It is rightly said every child should be wanted, loved and have a reasonable chance of success. Many comments have been made on this site about the chances for future generations. The way things are going they are slim.

Lastly, we once had a discussion with one of the partners in the firm where I worked. He was a 'flaming' Catholic with 5 kids. He said that if his wife were to get raped and get pregnant they would not have an abortion and raise the child and love it as if were conceived normally. We both realized this was BS (no one can predict what they would do/feel given a certain circumstance) + the fact of how a child would feel were it to know it was the product of violence. Never mind the genes that child might inherit from the father. Every abortion should be legal and rare (right now the abortion rate in this country is the lowest ever). There is also the phrase "if men gave birth, abortion would be a sacrament" and I seriously believe that!

#1 currently we are very limited and birth control methods. Many women cannot be on birth control pills or implants for medical reasons. Many medications that women take even exposure to sunlight can render many birth control methods ineffective or lower their effectiveness.
#2 your arguments here are utopian solutions that don't exist, therefore are of no help and do not assist pregnant women facing reality. In a perfect Society the opposite would be true .in order to encourage women to give birth these changes would indeed be made.
#3 if conception of a human is sacred and meant to be, why does nature itself cause spontaneous abortion or miscarriage for 25% of all conceptions. If I live in extreme poverty with a drug problem what chance of having a quality life does my child have? Again, there is very little if any way to prevent serious birth defects from occurring. There is also no way to determine whether or not a fertilized egg will even make it to birth and then make it through birth . Calling abortion murder is going to involve looking into the future which we do not have the ability to do .Human reproduction is completely mindless and random. so to say there is a purpose for every human conceived in the womb certainly you must be referring to a higher power/ god who has plans for the egg. The fertilization of egg and sperm in a laboratory creates a human being that was not meant to be here. Should we be against that? it's the same argument, just at the opposite end of the argument.
#4 pure science fiction not even a part of the discussion in modern Society. It is also becoming more and more widely acceptable for those with terminal illnesses to be able to end their lives and therefore not have to live on machines.

Would you consider you might be obsessed with this to a mentally unhealthy level?

I know its an odd argument but roe v wade is flawed logically.what they actually said was since we can't know if its a person yet its okay to kill it,thats the same thing as saying im inconvenient and you find me lying in the street its perfectly ok to stick a knife in me just to be sure.

You make good points. People who are considering abortion should think over what you have mentioned here and then decide. There should most definitely be a choice.

I'm pro-choice. I support safe abortion on-demand. Why a woman chooses to get an abortion is absolutely no one's business but her own.

I have ended a pregnancy and I have to say that it was an easy decision that I have never regretted.

1. Yes birth control should be widely available at little or no cost but tRUMPSTEERS are fighting left and right.
2. Yes free or employer child care would be wonderful-Ivanka Trum has gotten nada on yjis.
3. Amniocentesis has been available with high risk pregnancies. If a child is going to have a severe disability the parents should have that right to terminate the pregnancy. As a mother and former teacher of severely disabled children no govt agency should interfere.
4. Ectogenesis is way in the future.
