Breaking news:
Sarah Palin shot her husband in the ass. I think this is so wrong. Anyone who can like Palin after she did something like this is a horrible person.

I'm not posting a link or citing a source for you to see that ths actually happened, though. I'm just going to tell you that it is terrible even if it isn't true.

You google it. I owe you nothing.

(end parody)


Haaaaa! Haaaaaa!
As a former teacher,I found that my students, retained more, understood more, and were able to make more informed decisions when they did their own research.

BTW, if my buddy Sarah shot the hubby in his backside, I wouldn't have to do research at all...it would be all over the news...the mainstream media reports would be stepping all over each other with reports and photoshopped pictures of the actual wound. Let the Obama administration break another promise to the American people, and you have to dig and dig and dig to find it...... that is unless you watch cable news like FOX.

Know I will be sorry for asking but Why?

An abortion is the removal of a congregation of cells without conscience, awareness, or sovereignty. I'm not talking about late-term abortions where the situation is more questionable. Furthermore the rights of the host trump the rights of the guest.

I have no moral issues with such a procedure, and termination of pregnancy would be a far more viable option socially and economically for our society than burdening a young woman without the financial and emotional means to raise a child. The price of this procedure monetarily is a small one in the grand scheme of things.

Will not question your first paragraph as that is your belief...mine is different...we won't ever agree.

But there is nothing wrong with a sexually active, economically burdening, young, unmarried woman from using birth control or purchasing condoms to carry with her. In my humble opinion, birth control pills and condoms might be a little less expensive than an abortion.

I agree with the birth control stance, but when what's done is done, I reiterate, it's a small price to pay.

As a man I don't feel that I have any right to tell a woman what to do with her body.

However as a tax payer I'd happily pay once for an abortion rather than 18+ years of care. I can say this since the average abortion costs around $500-$1,000. That's not a burden on the average family. However the family that is going to have a very hard time coming up with that money is most likely in poverty to begin with which then means that the mother goes on welfare, the child goes on welfare, and often the cycle simply perpetuates itself. While birth control and condoms are cheaper than abortions they are not 100% effective.

How about we meet half way and allow the Plan B pill to be covered?

How silly, we could just force sterilizations on people who make less than an amount that might cover an abortion. :sarc:

Right here!
As a female who thinks an abortion is a medical procedure that is none of your damn business unless you are getting or performing one, I could frankly care less.

Assuming it's a late term abortion, shouldn't the child be given a say in the matter as well? Or do mom's have a right to take their children out of this world when ever they see fit to do so? ;-)

Yeah, if you can't afford to pay for an abortion, then you can't afford to raise a child. It will come back to haunt us. I don't see how anybody could have a problem on financial grounds.

I don't believe abortion should be a means of birth control. I do believe in abortion when medically necessary. And, I agree regarding the expense vs. long term medical issues and expenses. More importantly, I believe it is no one's business.......under HIPAA, we have pretty tight privacy laws, which should be respected.

And, even most importantly, I believe everyone should police themselves and not worry yourselves sick over what anothers beliefs' regarding abortion or other highly sensitive personal controversial subject matter.
