Lily, it's a critical part of your argument that you assume that, without legal abortion, those fetuses would be allowed to grow to term and be born.

History shows that desperate people take desperate measures, and, sure, SOME OF THEM would continue to term, but MANY OF THEM would be aborted by other, less than legal, less than safe means. And some of the pregnant women and girls would die or be left sterile in the process.

So? Because someone may choose to inflict harm on themselves with an illegal proceedure, we should make it legal?  That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard. 

"Well, people are going to do it anyway, so lets legalize it". Retarded.

Desperate people use meth. Desperate people use cocaine. Desperate people drive without a license. I could come up with a dozen things desperate people do. That doesn't make it right.

 When alcohol was illegal during Prohibition, no one drank alcohol.

Having and using Marijuana is illegal, so no one smokes pot.

Prostitution is illegal, so all the hookers have turned into secretaries and bus drivers.

Where abortion is illegal, no one is getting abortions.

 

B.S. Total nonsense.

Legalize it, regulate it, tax it. Alcohol, marijuana, sex for money, and abortions. People actually do all these things whether they're legal or not, whether they're safe or not.

You can have  dream world where all girls abstain from sex until they're married, where all pregnancies are planned and wanted, where people only do what's legal and smart.

But it's just a dream.

You cannot be this dense...

Of COURSE people are going to do it.  People are going to drink and drive.  Should we make it legal, just because some people are going to do it anyway?   

This would be funny if you weren't serious, but unfortunately you are...

Would drinking be more dangerous if it was legal? (wait, it is.)

Would drinking and driving while drunk be safer if it was legal? um ... NO

Are abortions safer when they're legal? Yes.

We do tax alcohol, and pot where it's legal.

Medical procedures? usually not taxed. But they are highly regulated.

driving while drunk or texting? Illegal, and dangerous, and HEAVILY TAXED.

It's stupid that's it's legal for a woman to kill her child.  And that people want to keep it legalized.  Fortunately, the laws are getting stricter and stricter.

And Eds argument is that people are going to do it anyway, so it needs to be legalized.  You don't think that's stupid?

 The stupid is in the line of thinking that "Oh people are going to do it anyway so you may as well make it legal."  Well, that could be applied to EVERY situation.  Why is it any more wrong to drink and drive and kill someone than have an abortion and kill someone?  I mean, if the rational is people are going to do it anyway then there really shouldn't be ANY laws because, let's be honest, people are going to do whatever they want regardless of what the law says.  People are going to speed so should we not have speed limits?  Some people don't wear their seatbelts so should we not have those laws?  There are laws about all kinds of things every day that people don't do.  Should we just go without laws?

My nephew and his wife adopted a baby who's mother almost aborted him.  He now has a good home with a mommy and daddy who loves him very much.  There is a long waiting list of people who want to adopt.

A very good friend of ours recently found her birth mother (friend is 40). She struggled with anxiety over whether she wanted to meet her or not. She did a couple of months ago. She found out was conceived when her mother was raped at 15 years old. Her life has taken on a new meaning. Can you imagine? The awesome blessing that he mother gave her? LIFE! She is alive. She has purpose. She has children that will make a difference in someone's life. Every one, when allowed to live, will make a difference.

 Obviously adoption is an option, but while some stories have happy endings, not all do.

I respect your opinion, especially the fact that you can express it politely.

 None of the abortions have a happy ending so your point makes no sense.

 No. I completely understand that if abortion were illegal, some would seek back alley abortions. 

I do understand that.

I think that is how it should be.

I also think people, ALL people, should stop with the pretty language and get real and stop making excuses for those who choose to kill their unborn child.

Not getting pregnant is the most easy choice in the world.

Between personal responsibility and the ease in which we can obtain birth control, well, there is absolutely no reason to have elective abortions. None.

And don't start with the "what about rape" argument. 

That's a baby too. And it also rarely happens.

You think that I think making abortion illegal will magically make women care and want to carry the baby.

No. 

I think it would force them to take responsibility of their reproduction and not get pregnant until they want to.

I want to know why the pro baby killers are not more adamant about birth control and personal responsibility?

Why do these women have so much right to "their body" once they are pregnant?

Why can't they have that responsibility before they are pregnant?

You know. I had a whole lot of sex between 18 and getting married at 23.

A whole heck of a lot.

And not all of it was safer sex.

And I didn't get pregnant.

I got pregnant when I wanted to.

Yes. There could have been an unplanned pregnancy at any point.

But there wasnt.

And if there was, I knew from the moment I first decided to have sex it was a possibility and that I would take care of a baby if I did get pregnant.

I was willing to take responsibility for my actions.

Cause that is how I was raised.

When you have sex without birth control, that IS reckless. A VAST majority of abortions are because not birth control was used.  Reckless, and the babies lose their lives because of it...

You don't see that as selfish?  There is nothing more selfish than killing your child for your convenience...

 No. There have been no answers to that, especially not "many times" of answers. Saying you had a miscarriage doesn't tell me what was in my uterus if a fetus isn't a baby. Saying you cannot choose for another woman also doesn't tell me what was in my uterus if it wasn't a baby.

I either had a baby in my uterus or I didn't. A baby in utero is called an embryo for the first 8 weeks (I believe that's the cut off) then it's called a fetus. Embryo, fetus, newborn, infant, baby, toddler, child, pre-teen, teen, adult, senior, elderly ... all refer to phases of life. A human is a human at every life stage. To pretend otherwise is ignorant.

So. Again. I'd like to know what was in my uterus for 39 weeks and 2 days. It wasn't a baby so what was it? The flying purple people eater? A dragon? Cat? Dog? Alien?

Re miscarriages ... Everyone I personally know who has had a miscarriage have ALL said they lost a BABY. Not a fetus. Not a blob of cells. A baby.

Most of those people also named their baby. Some even do something in remembrance of their baby on the baby's birthday.

 Never named mine. Have no idea when its birthday would have been.

Big surprise!

Your personal experience is different from mine.

 We have answered this many times.

I had a miscarriage, then was lucky enough to give birth to 2 boys.

BUT I cannot choose for another woman.

 No. There have been no answers to that, especially not "many times" of answers. Saying you had a miscarriage doesn't tell me what was in my uterus if a fetus isn't a baby. Saying you cannot choose for another woman also doesn't tell me what was in my uterus if it wasn't a baby.

I either had a baby in my uterus or I didn't. A baby in utero is called an embryo for the first 8 weeks (I believe that's the cut off) then it's called a fetus. Embryo, fetus, newborn, infant, baby, toddler, child, pre-teen, teen, adult, senior, elderly ... all refer to phases of life. A human is a human at every life stage. To pretend otherwise is ignorant.

So. Again. I'd like to know what was in my uterus for 39 weeks and 2 days. It wasn't a baby so what was it? The flying purple people eater? A dragon? Cat? Dog? Alien?


 Yes, it was a dragon...

Happy now?

If you wanted a baby, which you clearly did, you should certainly acknowledge it as your baby.

Legally, it was a fetus, and in a lot of places it became a baby with its' first breath. 

I don't like the idea of disagreeing with a Mom about her child, no matter what its' status is.

You decide for yourself.

 Yep. 

My baby's name is Drew.

He would be 22.

Legally, in most places, you can and will be charged with homicide for causing the death of an unborn baby.  Yet, if the mother does it, then that's ok.  confuse

 So what you are saying is it is easier to call that incubating human anything but a baby. 

Because to actually call it a baby would mean acknowledging that you condone murdering a baby.

Let's try this another way.

What is a fetus?

Our baby would have been 39 this last August.

Those of us who have lost a baby, never forget.

And, yes, we named him.

I know for my daughter losing her baby was tramatic and heartbreaking for her. She lost it at home and saw him/her. It took her a long time to get over the loss and even though she has since then had another child it still bothers her.

I'm saying I would  never argue about this with YOU, and I would never argue about it with the teenage girls I've seen in the hospitals waiting for their abortions. 

Clearly YOU call yours a baby, they might or might not. I would never ask.
