Way out of hand

Published May 23. 2019 01:38PM

It’s a right for a woman to decide what to do with her body. That’s a phrase I can live without hearing ever again. If a person tries to commit suicide, why does he/she have to get counseling, be committed for a period of time, be watched over because they might hurt themselves? Isn’t that their right to choose what they want to do with their body?

Why can’t strong men beat up others? Isn’t that their right to use their bodies as they please? Why is it illegal to kill our children perhaps at the age of 2 when we’ve realized that they are an inconvenience? Why is it offensive that a commercial on TV which shows a baby in the uterus responding to what’s being advertised because it looks too much like a baby? Don’t they get it, it is a baby.

This business of abortion is way out of hand. I can think of a few rare exceptions when a doctor might advise the woman it is best not to complete the pregnancy, but abortions have become as normal as getting a tooth filled. What happened to do no harm? Doctors, isn’t that a part of the Hippocratic oath? Just because it became a law that it’s all right to kill babies inside of mothers doesn’t make it OK. God gave us many gifts, one of which is that women can have babies; that doesn’t give women the right to use that gift and proclaim it is their choice. Don’t you fathers of those babies have any say? It’s clear the babies have no say and no life to live.

I say — go ahead and do what you want with YOUR body but don’t kill the baby, the life growing inside you. Biologically, you are the incubator; if your baby were in an incubator, would you be allowed to destroy the baby then? There was a time when women felt guilty after they had an abortion; now, it is totally justified. The law says so, the press says so, politicians say so. What does your conscience say, or can’t you hear it any more? What have you accomplished in life that never would’ve happened had you been aborted? And that includes your good deeds, your successes, your children, your grandchildren, your great-grandchildren.

The destruction of an American's Constitutional Rights is getting out of hand. The 14th Amendment is just as important as the 2nd amendment. I choose not exercise my 2nd amendment rights. You choose to exercise your 14th amendment right.
Anti-Constitutional trumpites don't get to choose for us. Mind your own..
Nice post Frances. Thank you. I fully agree with you. Unfortunately, you will find those that can not conduct themselves properly on a public forum. Such individuals, as DO above, indicate a level of mental instability unprovoked by you. This nut job, DO, has been thrown off of here before for rude vulgar behavior. Please do not take offense by DO. DO has no respect for life at all. I have witnessed DO laud the death of Police Officers, Military Personnel and others. Life is precious, I always felt. The only abortion I support is that of DO. DO, this nice lady took the time to share her sincere opinion. You were nasty and rude. It is time you get tossed off of here DO. You just make a jerk of yourself.
Joe come on. You try to project you morality on President Trump. Is that perhaps your version of Liberty? Is your opposition research also your version of Liberty? Life is precious. In this world today life is reduced in value to almost nothing. People should engage in personal responsibility. Abstinence, counseling & birth control should be of utmost importance. Abortion should be a last resort (rape, mother’s health, etc) rather than a first choice. Every life is precious. This recent Democrat trend toward third trimester abortion and infanticide is shameful.
The evolution of abortion continues in this land now void of absolute truth. We are living in relativism, and relativism takes down our most valuable resource. In a relative way, those same who concern over separating child from mom at our boarder, see nothing wrong with ripping baby from womb inside the boarders. Perhaps we need to call these unborn... undocumented. Yeah, because those relativists (Dems) would then embrace them. The (Dems) would help them through the birth canal to the other side instead of killing before they even get to that boarder.
Here's something to consider. We've killed 60,000,000 lives since Roe/Wade. That's 60 million incomes destroyed. Incomes that these socialists could be taxing.
Or... consider this... 60 million voters. After all, it's all about votes for Dems.
Just my thoughts. In memory to those martyred for the god of self, I ask God's forgiveness on this country.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, and oppose those who toss aside the absolutes.
How is abortion established as constitutional?
Abortion is not a constitutional right according to the strict text of the Constitution, but it has been justified as a constitutional right under the Fourth Amendment’s protection of privacy. In short, the constitutional right to abortion is found not in the Constitution itself, but in a loose reading of it.
You anti‑lifers simply use the ‘right’ to privacy as a license to abuse ― and kill ― other human beings. This is not a constitutional right to abortion but rather a twisting of the language of the Constitution for ideological purposes.
You're not representing well Joe, just saying.
You're not representing well Joe... Just Saying.
The founding fathers could never have imagined we would end up killing 60 MILLION BABIES for the love of self! 200 years isn't that long a period to where we lost history. Precedence is everything if it suits your argument Joe. Leaning on precedence weakens your stand for... anything. You're like that political windsock being blown this way and that by relative winds of precedence.
The best way to avoid unwanted pregnancies among the reprobates? Homosexuality. See how that ends. That gene that causes a man to want to lie down with another man will eventually be destroyed. The civilized ones will be taught how to behave, just not in the government school, as you see, it's there where Planned Parenthood has set up a system of Birf Control, that's designed to fail.
Does it matter? We are killing human beings. We devalue life if it's just one life, what's it matter? One side values life (pro-life) and the other chooses to just discard and throw it away (anti-life). My money, through taxes, support those who are anti-life, and I have no choice in the matter, so they are anti-choice. Those same now will take my money and kill even after birth. SICK! Because the side effect of abortion is depression, I'll help pay the results of that too! You are on the wrong side Joe. You are not on the same side that Rand Paul or Ron Paul are. You are digging in deeper and deeper. Why? Who's your master?
Joe,
How in God's Name can I stay out of abortion, when they fund Planned Parenthood with tax dollars? People sear their consciences Joe. They can do that, because the propaganda and lies of Planned Parenthood, which is funded with some of my money! How's that hard to understand?
Stick to your guns Meyers. You are right. Joe, you compare abortions to car sales. People create those insurance policies based upon public opinion. Where is your morality now Joe? The Libertarian view seems to be stick head in sand and ignore anything beyond the basics. In a Candyland view that is great. Life is more complicated than that. Maybe that is why you just have a superficial view of things. MAGA!
Get real Joe. Kindly activate your brain before you ask for sources. Data is collected from health organizations of actual and estimated abortions. Of course the word “estimated” involves conjecture. You attack Meyers about the 60M #. Who are you Joe? Let me answer for you. You like to argue every little point. I wonder if you have many friends? Do you argue numerous times a day? Are you a know it all (we sure dissolved that here) that forces every issue? Are you excessively argumentative? Are you accusatory? (You must be using a made up #) Are you perpetually frustrated? I think 3 years of Trump Derangement Syndrome is getting to you. You are being consumed by your own hatred. You are not noticing big things as you magnify imaginary things. Your priorities are getting reversed. You are also losing your efficiency as you are making errors in capitalization, spelling, and grammar. No charge for this evaluation. President Trump is defeating you. President Trump is Pro-Life. President Trump will save the next 60M babies from you. MAGA! America is Great!
Right Joe. You are a fraud to yourself. It is about time you realize it. You were a bit slow to notice the dark times the attempted coup and Trump resistance has caused on our Republic. Just wait as this data is released. Don’t worry President Trump will win!
That is right,Joe, you are a self proclaimed genius with tremendous gaps in knowledge and understanding. Frankly, I wish you were smarter. I am getting bored with beating you in debate all of the time. Now, frequently, we review the same stuff. It is a waste of my valuable time to go over archived information to show you Joe. You are stuck in neutral while we all hope for intellectual advancement. Do you have any family that can help you? Maybe those military cousins?Nah, they disagree with you too. I was hoping for more of an intellectual challenge from you. Rush Limbaugh- defeating Liberals with half my brain tied behind my back.
