<p>^ None, I hope. But women who don’t want to or are financially unable to have children shouldn’t be having them, I believe.</p>
<p>^ I absolutely agree. </p>
<p>Which is why I believe in keeping abortion safe and legal.</p>
<p>I personally do not like the idea of abortion. All semantics aside, I consider it murder and I do believe a life is lost. These are my own personal opinions. I myself would never choose to have an abortion, and though I may “judge” people who do, I’m not going to hate anyone for that.</p>
<p>However, abortion should remain legal because without it, women are going to find unsafe ways of getting rid of the fetus. I also believe that it’s better for all children to come into the world loved, wanted, and cared for.</p>
<p>Also it p***** me off when people are like … “These fetuses can’t speak for themselves!”</p>
<p>Such hypocrisy.</p>
<p>Oh, and I have no idea what I am. I’m mostly conservative on a lot of matters, but on social issues, I’m liberal.</p>
<p>LaTina-
Great post. </p>
<p>As much as I am in favor of keeping abortion safe and legal, I am actually not entirely in favor of abortion. I have personally talked a few friends out of abortions (they ended up losing the baby anyways) and I don’t think I personally could ever get one. </p>
<p>I actually do think it’s possible to be for keeping abortion safe and legal, but being pro-life.</p>
<p>…as it happens, I decided two years ago that I will not have my own children and will adopt instead, specifically because of how horrendous adoption is. I volunteer at a children’s home as well. </p>
<p>As much as I am nauseated by the idea of abortion, I think it should still be available. However I believe that the window of time in which they can be obtained should be smaller than it currently is. I truly wish more people would adopt. It might sound insensitive, but I see people spending ridiculous amounts of money on fertility treatments and whatnot and I just think “why?”</p>
<p>oh god i’m terrible at debates like this.</p>
<p>@Izzy- I completely agree with you. </p>
<p>However, adoption in this country is horrendous. </p>
<p>I too am planning on adopting. 2 of my own, 2 through adoption.</p>
<p>Well, night y’all. I’ll leave you with this:</p>
<p>Considering, as I do, a fetus to be every bit as human as myself, how could I ever support legalized abortions?</p>
<p>And MM, my response to you is this: </p>
<p>Abortions will happen either way. Why don’t we protect the life of the MOTHER and make them safe and legal?</p>
<p>I do, because I know that some mothers are willing to risk their own lives through unsafe methods of abortion.</p>
<p>Also, what if a woman is unable to carry the baby to term or give birth knowing that if she does, she would not survive?</p>
<p>This isn’t something you can be so black and white about.</p>
<p>Poll: Democrat, Republican, or ALASKA INDEPENDENCE PARTY!</p>

<p>The whole debate over abortion is stupid. There’s a huge difference between a HUMAN life and being biologically functional. Just limit abortions to the first trimester and everything will be fine and dandy. Allow stem cell research too for that matter.</p>
<p>People, please follow this format in this thread:</p>
<p>I support [Democrat/Republican/Other], because [Witty quote saying everyone else is wrong]</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>I support [Democrat/Republican/Other], and [Offensive statement, calling into question the parentage/sexuality/intelligence of anyone of an opposing opinion]</p>
<p>i’m leaning towards the left</p>
<p>^^
I support the Democratic Party because most Republicans are backwards asshats who prefer to use their arbitrary Bible stories rather than their brain cells.*</p>
<p>I <3 this format.</p>
<p>*My statement is exaggerated for special effects.</p>
<p>Republican because I heart Jesus, he’s my everything.</p>
<p>Stupidity aside, I’m a liberal.</p>
<p>Fiscally and militarily conservative; socially liberal.
I tend to lean more Republican I guess, but I think most politicians suck. A little bit libertarian?</p>
<p>I am a democrat.</p>
<p>How did people get to abortion on this simple of a thread?</p>
<p>It went from bashing each political side to the common issues that both political sides argue on.</p>
<p>^ With partial blame going to people like me, who have to put their views since they don’t agree with any party…</p>
