It goes both ways. Extremists on both sides are wrapping the issue up with other issues. For example, people who are pro life are often also in favor of women being subservient, staying home, being married, making less money and stuff like that.  And pro choicers often refer to abortion as a reproductive right without considering the life of the child a right.  This is just another example of how extremist views are flawed.  The truth is in the middle.  Address the reasons for abortion, increase womens rights, access, equality, etc. and then only make abortion illegal without attaching any other bills to it.  It might work.

Abortion is a non issue. Republicans love non issues. They take away from the debate on real issues. The morning after pill makes Abortion a non issue. That pill will be sold. Teens will get it on the Black Market. Republicans who own stock in that pill will make lots of cash. Republican Doctors who do Abortions have made lots of cash from that.

No, it's like this: You let it be born, and if it turns out horribly bad you kill it.  Keep the good ones.  Kill off the bad ones.  There is no fallacy or conflict in this thinking.  Kiling a fetus is a different line of reasoning than killing a mass murderer.  You cannot equate the two.  thus, anti-abortion and pro-death penalty are not in conflict.  Two different things entirely.\n\nReligion is not above killing.  More people have been killed in religious conflicts than from any other cause.

Because, the liberals who claim to care about the people, are the ones who are pro-choice.  These people prefer a socialist government too.  In a socialist government what the government considers best for the people as a whole over rides the rights, needs and desires of the people. The maintenence of such a system requires that the government control education.\n\nAt the same time, the emphasis on the group tends to lower the value of individual lives.  When individual life is not valued, the issue of wether or not to have an abortion, or to make a decision of wether or not to take ones life or assist in a suicide becomes a choice of convenience.  If individual life is no longer valued than the decision to end ones own life or the life of another becomes insignificant.  \n\nFor all you pro-choicers out there a "fetus" is a full and complete human being from the moment of conception.  If they were not fully human than something would have to be added to the mix, but science has proven that this does not happen.  Though undeveloped an unborn child is a complete human being.

Aneiricans, almost always soldiers, think of the other side as almost sub-human. Makes them easier to waste. They all want babies, not kids! Why do you think they are anti-abortion?

why do you have abortion as your only topic of "choice" today?  \n\nlooking back at your question history, i'd say that you have some issues.  \n\nseek help.

by definition\na liberal is "on the left" and wants a bigger government and more government spending and programs.  A welfare state and care by the government is encouraged\na conservative "on the right" wants a smaller government and less government spending and programs.  Independence from government is encouraged\nBoth have problems and both have contradictions (republican conservative congress had record spending)\n\n**in response to above, Hitler was right-wing.  this doesn't reflect on any American politics today.  Not all liberals support pro-choice.  Supporting pro-choice is not supporting abortion, it is supporting an option for women who make mistakes.

A woman has the right over her own body, regardless of whether there is a zygote, embryo, or fetus present.  It is not a "baby," regardless of the necessity of that word for emotional appeal.\n\nLook, here's my take on things: if you are so opposed to abortions, then stop trying to make them illegal and make them unnecessary.  Work to provide better free or at least affordable health care.  Work to improve sex education for our youth.  Make birth control easily accessible and cheap.  Establish better support for women who wish to give up a child for adoption.  Provide better assistance to people of low incomes who have children.\n\nTHOSE are the major contributing factors to abortion procedures, and if you and all other anti-choice protestors are so caught up in fixing things, then FIX THOSE THINGS.  \n\nI'm pro-choice, because in our society women need to have that option.  I'd love for elective abortions to be completely unnecessary--and so I am trying to fix the problems that lead to them, rather than trying to punish women already in difficult situations by removing their rights.

They simply reject any ideation that the unborn IS a HUMAN BEING and ignore the rights of the unborn.  You will hear them equate the child to a parasite, blob of cells, or any other term that de-humanizes the infant, so killing is somehow sanitized.  No problem.  No worries.  The Nazis did the same thing to the Jews preceding and during the Holocaust.\n\nI somehow am inclined to believe if the Liberals could figure out a way to secure votes from the fetuses voting block for the DNC, the fetuses might be able to save themselves, but they can't.

Just how do you figure it violates civil rights? A civil right is a right that is codified (written into law for you libs). The most famous example is the Civil Right Act of 1964 which bars discrimination based on race, creed, religion, national origin, etc. It has been amended many times, but it is still in effect. \n\nFor instance, you see news stories every now and then about airline flight attendants or waitresses being fired for gaining too much weight. Ever wonder why the courts uphold the firings? Because it is perfectly legal to discriminate based on weight.\n\nThere is plenty of discrimination that is legal. And last time I checked, gay marriage was not guaranteed by any law. As a matter of fact, many states have already added effective constitutional bans to gay marriage in their jurisdiction by defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

They're not pro-choice.  They're pro-abortion.  Ask them if they support a man's right to choose and see what kind of faces they make.

Aah, A Mans Right To Choose.\n\nYou are quite right, there is an inequality there: for the woman: rights, for the man:responsibilities. Unfortunately the whole thing is muddied by many ethical difficulties, but it boils down to this: It is impossible to be fair to all parties in all cases. If you deny abortion when it is wanted by the mother and medically reasonable you violate her right to control her own body. If you allow it you deny the child's right to life. \n\nIn the end the father gets left by the wayside because the one carrying the baby and the one being carried are physically way more involved in the whole thing, and the fathers involvement is purely an emotional one. I don't mean to say that the father's opinion or feelings are unimportant - they are - but in the end, society rates the mother and child over him.\n\nAs for the whole support thing, it's a seperate (but related) issue entirely - it's just unfortunate that together they make a huge social injustice. The lesson to take away (although usually to late) is that good contraception and good communication with your chosen partner are of paramount importance, if you don't want to find yourself in this hideous situation

A few reasons:\n\n1. Republicans believe life is precious until you are born.\n\n2. They have successfully brainwashed the uneducated members of their party into believing only democrats are on welfare... the number of registered republicans on welfare is actually higher than democrats. There is a large concentration of white Republican welfare recipients in the Midwest states.\n\n3. They do not believe in the constitution that the Supreme Court based its ruling on in making abortion legal.

You need to look at the religious issues that each side accepts as it's moral grounding. Republicans usually stand on a platform built on values that include Pro-Life, and the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. There are many other issues to be concerned with, but these are the majors. \nDemocrats generally believe the opposite and go with a more liberal approach to abortion and Pro-Choice is their platform. Also, the take on the gay marriage is usually widely accepted with the Democrat community.\nIf you are looking for a "side" to stand on, I suggest that you do some serious research and decide for yourself which you prefer. I don't know anyone that agrees with everything that their party does, and just because the current President is a Republican, don't let the things that you've read on this site skew your beliefs. You have a choice to believe what you want. Choose wisely.\n\nAnd just a side note......Vote Republican, those Democrats are morons.

I agree with C.E. You are bias, and it appears to be that you don't care. But I will give an answer anyway. \nLiberals and Conservatives are on diff. sides. You think they're going to get along when both think that they're right? It's obvious they're not. Here's why: \nThere are some things worth fighting for. What your country does is a BIG one. \nOh, let me verify something. There are good ppl on both sides, and there are bad. Not all think the same way, but there is the general idea of both, that has been established. \nAnd this isn't democrats vs. republicans, it's liberals vs. conservatives. You need to get them straight. But here's the story on what you asked, even if you didn't know it;\nConservatives wish to conserve the morals and values of the JudeoChristian heritage that has made America great. \nLiberals wish to have "freedom" from all morals and values, esp those of the scriptures. \nDems and Republicans are diff. If you're wondering abt them, ask that. Generally though, it is the republicans that have conservative views and vice versa. \n...Conservatives believe that torturous murder of unborn babies should be illegal, and Libs believe it's the woman's choice to kill her baby or not. \nCs believe capital punishment should be used, and Ls want to be easy on such crimanals. (usually) Cs believe homosexuality is wrong, and such "unions" should not be allowed, Ls promote such stuff....\nThere is more, but that is why they don't get along. Why should they?  I am a conservative republican, and I will always fight for what I know is right, and liberal democrats will always fight against that. And that's the truth of it.

The thing about the abortion debate is that the two sides are arguing entirely unrelated issues. Pro-life people say "abortion is bad". Pro-choice advocates say "The government not should be making personal decisions that like". It's not about abortion. It's about who gets to make the decisions.\n\nFace it -- someone is going to choose.  It's either going to be the individual, or it's going to be the majority (through enacted laws). If the majority gets to choose, then they are effectively imposing their belief system -- which is almost always religiously-based -- on everyone.\n\nRight now, the conservatives happen to be in the majority, so many of them seem to have no objection to imposing their religious and moral views on others.  But allowing the government to choose doesn't resolve the question. It just means that the decision on whether abortion is justified is being made by those in power, rather than those personally affected.\n\nDo you really want to abdicate that much of your personal freedom and choice to a group of politicians? Do people really want to live in a country where state legislatures can decide who can be pregnant, and who cannot, and who must? Do people really have that much trust and faith in government that they think the legislature will always make the right choices? Because we'll be stuck with those decisions.\n\nThe concept of reproductive freedoms is not whether you agree with the individual choices being made. It's whether you think the government should have the right to take away and mandate those choices.\n\nWhy can't people understand that freedom of choice is not a minority value, even if the majority happens to disagree with the minority's choice?

Yes the Repuglicans should change to include all of America in their plans. A move toward the middle would help. As for the independents they should pick a side. Either side. They are the real problem here. Because they usually vote for the best Rhetoric and never mind the best person for the job. I would like to know why Repuglicans have a lock on the moral issue. I am against abortion, I just feel that government has no business in either moral issues or religious issues. Every time that a government has tried to legislate morality it has failed. It just drives it under ground and people do that behavior anyway. It actually has brought down governments as with the Roman empire and even England and many others. That is why we declared our Independence from England as they were trying to legislate their morality on us.
