Yes, I’d have been aborted, a (prior) consummation devoutly to be wished.  I’d have missed a long, really lucky life where nothing bad has ever happened to me, but still has been filled with more sorrow than joy, for sure.

“My mom had two abortions in the 30’s (illegal)before my conception.  She was proud of them—she’d made a rationl decision.  I often wish she’d had another.”

I just gotta ask…You wish your mom had had another abortion? Wouldnt that have been you she aborted?

On a more serious note, I think your mom displayed great courage undergoing a procedure that was, in that era, dangerous and illegal.

expatingermany says no one is “for” abortion.  I am.
As I posted above, no thinking fetus would choose to be birthed into this world.  My mom had two abortions in the 30’s (illegal)before my conception.  She was proud of them—she’d made a rationl decision.  I often wish she’d had another.

Catholics who follow Church dogma have failed to think for themselves: they do what they’re told and their opinions are largely absurd, especially regarding sex and reproduction. Prudes and zealots—every sperm is sacred; every egg is god—what complete & utter nonsense!

Obama should have redefined a strict separation between church & state, only his own mind is fuzzy on this issue. Or maybe he realizes the role organised religion can play in making a materialist nation more “spiritual” as the rich steal whatever is left. Keep us down and busy scrapping by on handouts. More change I cannot believe in.

re: ITW

Yes Inherit, Pat Robertson did call for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, and before that he called to take out Libya’s Colonel Gaddafi, by proclaiming that one must shoot “mad dogs”. The Rev. Robertson is a holy something or other, and even though he has been crawling around on the ground for so very long, I still, for the likes of me, can not figure out what.
But some claim there is great wisdom which emits from the founder of the 700 Club. This chief oracle claims that God has punished homosexuals by giving them the scourge known as AIDS, and that “godless secular humanists” are destroying all of America’s natural holy goodness.
But fear not! Go ahead, don’t be afraid to put your hand on the mouse and click on at the web site, where it states: your faith contribution. Render your tithes to Pat and blessings will be overflowing. In the name of something or other, amen.

It amazing how the Abortion issue brings your True Nazi personality to light.

It’s called a JOKE! “Partial-Birth Abortion” is a mantra to the so-called “Pro-Life” movement even though no such procedure actually exists. So it’s natural to go from “Partial-Birth” to “Post-Birth” abortions in the effort for dark humor.

BTW, didn’t Pat Robertson suggest that we should assassinate Hugo Chavez?  I guess that’s not “True Nazi personality” is it?

Nor is it “True Nazi personality” that most so-called “Pro-Life” advocates are ardent advocates of the death penalty.  Only Catholics (guided by the stern decision of JP II that capital punishment is ALWAYS wrong—2000 years late, but better late than never) oppose the death penalty as well.

You didn’t find it funny? Well, that’s your look-out, not mine.

I firmly believe that Obama should introduce legislation that makes obrotion for the religious right MANDATORY They are obviously unfit to raise children.

But I might be willing to comprimise if they do.

I think we agree on something! I may even be amenable to post-birth abortion—up to the age of…Lemme see…How old IS Pat Robertson?

It’s my uterus.  End of discussion.

“The death of a child is never really to be regretted, considering how much he has escaped.”  (Thomas Hardy)

Would any (imaginary) “thinking fetus” choose to be birthed into this cesspool of captalist exploited labor (unless it were incapable of sensation, like Goerge W. Bush)?  Would any thinking fetus choose to be George W. Bush, in fact?  Silver spoon, privilege, wealth—-useless and murderous.

I am opposed to much of what President Obama has wrought to date, I am saddened that he betrays the progressives who supported him almost in unanimity as well.

But I do believe that to criticize him for his unfailing attempts to find common ground, to frame explosive issues in intellectual terms and defuse the explosive climate and polarization of our nation is simply wrong.

As I recall, the issue over who has final biological say over a woman’s body, was decided by The Supreme Court of the United States to be the woman’s choice. This is the law of the land. Why President Obama chooses to try an appease the ideologically bent extremists is part and parcel of his idiotic need to bring more religious nonsense into government. His God tells him to do this. Barack Obama secretly knows that he himself is God. How does he know this? Every time he prays he finds he is talking to himself.

I firmly believe that Obama should introduce legislation that makes obrotion for the religious right MANDATORY They are obviously unfit to raise children.
