One of the best bumper stickers I´ve ever seen dealt with this issue...

"If you can´t trust me with a choice... how can you trust me with a child"

Quick question for anyone... I'm off for an hour but will check back.

Does anyone know specifically what Roe v. Wade says about how far along the fetus can be? Actually, does anyone know what the overall general terms are?

I think many people might change their opinions if they knew, for example, that the fetus was far enough along that it actually had things like nerve endings, feelings, etc....

I doubt many here (myself included) actually know exactly what Roe v. Wade is really all about.

Would appreciate any FACTUAL input on the real deal.

thumbs up

In my opinion, it should never be a convenience nor a form of birth control. That being said, it is a difficult enough decision as it is, but ultimately, the decision should rest with those involved, not a politician farming evangelicals.

shipoker58: herein is where I have difficulty. Your Christian beliefs should not govern a free society. We are guaranteed separation of church and state. If you are entitltled to your religious beliefs, then women are allowed freedom FROM your beliefs. The moment GOD is brought into the legislative arena...you are trampling on the rights of those who do not subscribe to your belief system
You preach thou shalt not kill...but I bet you gloried when Sadam was killed. I bet your beliefs allow for capital punishment.



I know that is statement might offend many people, but it is the absolute truth. Legally and objectively speaking, decisions regarding government legislation CANNOT legally be made based on what the Bible says.

It should stay legal of course and Terry Shaivo was a good example of what happens when busybodies are allowed to run amok. It was no ones business except her family and her doctors but every two-bit politician and religious freak in the country turned her situation into a circus.

Fishingoutdoors:
. . . . . Jesus Christ, our living Son Of God, via His Living Holy Spirit blah blah blah


I worked for a years in a big Japanese computer firm. Naturally there were a lot of Japanese working there but also Chinese, as well as Israelis, Russians, Brits like me etc.

The Japanese weren't able to communicate very well in anything other than Japanese except for one guy, who also had a very GSOH.
He and I became quite good friends.
Anyway, one day out of boredom and for a laugh, I said to him;
You know all of you lot are going to eternal hellfire and damnation.
Why is that, he says.
Because you haven't accepted the Lord and only begotten Son of God as your Saviour!!!!
Ah, I know, he said, it's Hell, isn't it. It's eternal fiery place. Must be very big, he said, pointing to a Chinese colleague Mr Wang. Look at all the billions of Chinese. How to fit them in??
Yep said I, it'll be effin choc a block mate, there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. Just you wait and see.
Well you know, he said with a laugh, we don't have this concept!

Dio...I totally understand your point - and there's a really murky philosophical line between separation of church and state, and our country being founded on the right to religious freedom.

Just saying that factually it's the law as it is written

I believe in the right to choose...and if I go to hell....that's my business!!!!!!!!!

Roe v. Wade should stand....I don't believe that 99% of abortions are out of convenience either, but it's not my choice to make!!!!!!!!!

Spaghetti: I could be wrong but wasn't it based on a right to privacy? Now if you're a modern day Republican I could see where you wouldn't think there is such a thing.Because of the expense of travelling to another state the effect would be the same for most women.


You are wrong...the is no right to privacy in the US constitution.

If there was, many laws must be overturned, including the levying of federal income taxes.

mbcasey: I am against any court who oversteps their bounds to take away decisions that should be left to the people or their representatives. Especially the Supreme Court, where there is no recourse to the decisions made by unelected officials appointed for life. I am all for the judicial branch of government, as long as they keep within the separation of powers and decide cases based on current law, or under the guidelines of the constitution.

You sound like a modern Republican, "I'm against the behavior of courts except when I need them to act on my, or my friends, behalf... and then I reserve the right to call them activist judges ".

Gore v Bush, Fla v Shaivo come to mind.

thumbs down

You don't know my political affiliation.

I am making points based on the proper use of the court system based on the US Constitution. Even highly regarded political law professors such as Lawrence Tribe who recently agreed with the Supreme court's decision concerning the DC handgun ban should be overturned, based his opinion on the constitution instead of emotionally attaching his political beliefs to the case.

If you can't debate on merit and facts, then maybe you should listen and learn.

Yes then our bodies should be condemed for natural abortions also, what is the difference there? None, something still killed a child right.

If as fetus just as our bodies might have done. I had 3 miscarriages, one I was 4 months pregnant.
My daughter had a miscarriage to a 5 month old, she is RH negative blood. So something was wrong and our bodies aborted. It's still wasn't quick kills even then, takes time for our bodies to kill and abort a fetus.

If you had a horse with a broken leg, would you go out and slowly kill it or put a bullet in its head to end suffering.
