Thought provoking.

Okay, you feel that a fragile young girl who has been raped and impregnated by a psychopath through no fault of her own should endure the possibly lethal consequences of child bearing.

I feel that this forum is better used for informative communication and camadarie, not to propagate contentious political biases.

Well put. I agree.

So you just stated your political view in the 1st sentence. Tell me, how many psychopaths have raped and impregnated young girls that required abortions??

Yes, all women experience this...Pregnancy from rape and incest that result in pregnancy happens to 1.21 million women annually in the US, but you see.... women are too stupid to know they are pregnant till 7 months 29 days.. and with one day to go can kill it legally! . BUT you have to kill it inside her body, because its murder 1"away outside that darned threshold to outside the body!

Tell me, what method do you prefer to abort late term results of rape and incest otherwise know as humans? A twist of the neck, or a knitting needle to the base of the skull, or cut it up in pieces like a butcher?

In the rest of the civilized world, you have 20 - 24 weeks to decide. After that you take responsibility. I support this "right". But it is still human and you are still killing it and if a third party performed it on my wife without her say so, it would be murder. .

The answer is too simple here..

1) it is obvious that you do not consider a unborn fetus a Human, therefore it is fine to abort(kill) that fetus..

2) The unborn fetus had nothing to do with the way it was conceived and has as much right as you do to live..

3) The Young Girl is obviously not at fault for her pregnancy, but why is her only WAY OUT to opt for an abortion..

4) All women who get pregnant and take that child to full term, can face the possibility of Some kind of Trauma (other than the normal)

5) Regardless of what some on the Hog say, there is a tremendous desire of childless couples to adopt a child.... BUT take a bit of time and search what many have to go through to adopt. Our government makes it one of the hardest things going to adopt an American Baby.

You have chosen a scenario that happens less than .01% compared to the number of women who use abortion as a method of birth control because it's 'free' to them through Planned Parenthood, compliments of the boy in the house and paid for by us.

SteveR Loc: Michigan

Oh, is that where all those unwanted pregnancies came from!! I didn't know we had so many rapacious psychopaths in this country.

Jakebrake Loc: Broomfield, Colorado

Exactly! Abortion is a tool of liberals to correct the problem of a stupid bimbo (usually a liberal) spreading her legs without taking proper precautions. Nothing more, nothing less.

The entire "Progressive" movement was started to rid society of undesirable minorities.

"Planned Parenthood" was started by Margret Sanger a "Progressive".

BO has exacerbated the self- extermination and victimazation of minorities and then tells them how wonderful he is "Look what I've done for you.

Instead he should tell them what he has done to them, kept them in slums, "The Plantation".

In 2013 there were approx. 1.06 million abortions in the US. (Guttmacher Institute figures.) 1% were rape victims. Poor excuse for this slaughter. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Okay if the law said that one could abort a pregnancy resulting from rape or insest would you be okay with banning the rest?

Rape can cause difficulties during and after pregnancy, with potential negative consequences for both mother and child. Medical treatment following a rape includes testing for, preventing, and managing pregnancy. A woman who becomes pregnant after a rape may face a decision about whether to have an abortion, give the child up for adoption, or raise it. In some countries where abortion is illegal after rape and incest, over 90% of pregnancies in children 15 and under are due to rape by family members.

The false belief that pregnancy can almost never result from rape was widespread for centuries. In Europe, from medieval times well into the 1700s a man could use a woman's pregnancy as a legal defense to "prove" that he could not have raped her, since her pregnancy was thought to mean that she had enjoyed the sex and therefore consented to it. In recent decades, several pro-life politicians and organizations who oppose legal abortion in cases of rape have advanced claims that pregnancy very rarely arises from rape, and that the practical relevance of such exceptions to abortion law is therefore limited or non-existent.

...get your thinking out of the 1700s

Two studies widely cited this week and first published in 1996 and 2000 put the number at 32,101 and 25,000, respectively. The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, an anti-sexual violence nonprofit group based in Washington, D.C., estimates on its website that just 3,204 such pregnancies occurred annually in 2004-2005. An article published in Popular Science this week estimates the number is more than 83,000. John C. Willke, a Cincinnati doctor and antiabortion campaigner, wrote in 1999 the number is between 225 and 370. This compares with an estimate of 6.7 million pregnancies in the U.S. in 2006, published last fall in the journal Contraception.
