why is it we can kill unborn babies without a bat of an eye.but are given a 100 dollar ticket for no seat belt

Because the general public accepts that it's not a sound decision to drive without a seatbelt.\n\nHowever, there are still many people who believe that a woman has the right to decide if she wants to give birth to what's growing in -her- body.

In terminal cases completely for it! We guarantee prisoners the right "no cruel and unusual treatment", but we force our own society to suffer needlessly when the end is going to be the same no matter what? Makes no sense. Also, if a medical abortion is allowed later in pregnancy to keep a child from a life of suffering, why force our elderly? Makes no sense.

no. because the umbilical cord doesn't have any nerves in it.  even if it is cut in sight, the mother nor the baby will not feel anything.

No, we wouldn't have to factor in the unwanted people if legs would be kept closed and there plenty of people who want but can't have. If self control was practiced we would have a lot less trouble with this topic. There are the few that get raped and whatever the other excuses are but there is adoption for that and as for health...my child has a right to live more than I do...abortion isn't really great for a woman's health either ya know?

abortion being legal doesn't take away the fact that to abort the baby is to kill it. legally, i suppose you're right, it's not murder - but it's still killing. i'm pro-life but i believe abortion is morally ok up until the moment a heart beat can be detected. i don't believe in any abortion after that, even if the child is a product of rape or incest. it's not the baby's fault it was conceived in such a disgusting way.

ew. liberals in control? our country is going down fast. And even better... we get to kill unborn babies... what could be better than that..? how about you use birthcontrol... its not as cruel to the unborn fetus. For loving EVERYONE and treating EVERYONE equal... the liberals sure forget the rights of the unborn, helpless babies.

No, it violates an individuals right to choose and their right to privacy whether or not they wear a seat belt in their person, private vehicles.  because of Roe V. Wade we have a right to privacy and we are told that women should have the right to choose whether they want to have a child or not.  What is the difference if someone doesn't want to wear a seatbelt that may or may not save their life?  There isn't.  It is the same principle.

Everyone knows this they just don't care.  Babies don't count anymore, but I bet your ass would end up in prison if you killed animal fetuses on a regular basis.

I TOTALLY agree! How do ppl think that this should be allowed???? Murder is outlawed... This is MURDER! Isn't it? I mean they ain't killin' them they're murdering them BIG difference! Killing: is ok cuz they did somethin wrong; killing is justice Murdering: is bad cuz it's ending an innocent life!\n\nI don't care if the mom can't take care of it! Hmm... Have they ever heard the word adoption?

Your question is good and very interesting. What it shows is the many contradicitons in the law.\n\nIf goverment had it their way--I imagine they would outlaw many of the personal freedoms we have.\nWhy one law is set in place opposed to another depends on the lobby of folks in higher places that are willing to fight agaisnt it.\n\nIt is a fine line the goverment walks as they make laws on a public level without stepping on peoples personal rights.\n\nHowever--you are not without choice--you can choose not to wear seatbelts and pay the 10$ ticket if caught or you can organize folks to fight agaisnt an unjust law.\n\nLike I said above--it is these fights that explain why we have so many contradictions.

The basic thing about abortion is that it kills a living creature.  There can be no argument about that fact.

Are you even a citizen in the womb?  --prego woman can't use their babies in the belly as a second person for the car pool lane--

They feel they have free choice, even though they shouldn't have the power to decide if someone should die or not. They are killing an innocent baby because they think it's a problem, they should work through it and not get rid of it.

I think that it is an ethical issue. How can we support the murder of our own young? Why is it so hard for people to take responsibility for themselves and know that one of the natural outcomes of sex can be pregnancy. I wish that people who didn't want to have kids would either use birth control correctly and consistantly, or quit having sex.

it's just being a horrible person lol....contrary to popular belief, the law does not require you to do anything if you witness an accident, but it is a nice thing to do....I mean, I'm sure if the person who witnessed an accident were to get in that same situation some day, they'd want someone to help them instead of letting them die. Just my opinion tho.

How is the murder of an unborn baby showing respect?  You say you want respect, but you want to try to kill a baby?\nHow absurd.

Actually I am pretty sure it is illegal for anyone under 15 not to wear a seat belt in the back seat.
