Wondering what y'all's political feelings on abortion are. Personally, throwing religion and ethics to the side, politically I'd have to say, regardless of whether I'm for or against the act of abortion, I don't feel like its the government's job to determine whether or not a person can have am abortion, which technically makes me "pro-choice" right?. Any thoughts?
Most democrats are pro-abortion. Since they are in favor of it, I would assume they would be more likely to use it. So I'd have to say I'm for it. Anytime we have the chance to stop democrats from starting, we should take it.

I think the practice is abhorrent immoraland Idon't support it. On the other hand, A person has the free will to damn themselves if they want to.
In the book 'Freakonomics' the author Stephen Levitt makes a fairly convincing case that abortion led to a drastic reduction in crime in the early 90s- a time where there was supposedly a large absence of the adult version of 'unwanted babies' because of the Roe V Wade decision. There are positive sides to abortion for society as a whole.

I don't believe any woman should havesex with any man she doesn't choose to. I am not for the government making that choice for her. I'm for truly keeping the government out of the bedroom.
I'm not sure how you argue with that.

I dont think it is the government's responsibility to legislate morality, partticularly as it relates to the medical field. There are plenty of other procedures and areas of research the religious right would love to legislate out of existance, and I think settinga precedent like outlawing abortion would allow for creeping incrementalism. Its one of those 'dont give an inch' things in my opinion; the SC has drawn the line in the sand with Roe V Wade, and I think it ought stand.

Yet they do everyday. There are a lot of imoral things you can do and face jail time. It's why we have laws.

Very bad case law for one is why it should be over turned. Second, we don't elect a Supreme Court Justice. They are appointed and for the most part answer to no one for bad/screwed up rulings. They don't have the power to make law. They don't have the power to tell another branch what to do. They only have the power to declare what's in the Constitution and does the law volate it. Lately we've run head on to a court hat doesn't understand it's place in our Government. We end up with Roe v. Wade and Gitmo issues they have no legal say in and the latest infringement by the Government to take land fromone private party and give it to another private party.

Good point, you hear you can't legislate morality, but most laws are a legislation of morality. I thought the purpose of themedical field was for saving lives.
Using abortion to say you can't legislate moralityis in essence saying abortion is immoral. Now that we have established that point....well whats the argument?

RE: ~Pro-Choice~
you don't think a Leader should have similar ethic and moral values as yours ? If they don't, how can they make decisions that align with what your ideas are ?
on abortion ..... a pregnancy is a living human female with a living human baby inside her (eithera male or female) and its that way from the very moment the pregnancy begins. To kill the unborn stops the pregnancy, it kills that living life. Thats cold hard facts and IF you are pro-abortion you think its okay then for women to have their unborn babies killed. You are a horrifc person if you believe that.
