"If you don't agree with slavery, don't own one."
"If you don't agree with murder, don't kill anyone."
That argument is ineffective. I believe an unborn baby has the same rights we all do.

Hoe about all those ignorant, preaching, bible bashing freaks pass laws to provide PROPER SEX EDUCATION to their kids?
How about they pass laws FOR FREE BIRTH CONTROL FOR ALL?
How about they pass laws for PROPER BASIC SEXUAL HEALTH CLINICS?
But no, that won't happen, because the same people who want to end abortions are the same people who still stick to the bs notion that young women "praising Jesus!" is all the sex education they need, that "praying" is enough to prevent unwanted pregnancy in mothers barely able to look after themselves, that rape victims should just "deal with it".
Sorry, but this kind of religiously driven utter ignorance makes me damn mad.

I bet there isn't a woman here that would look a 5 year old in the face and tell them they are about to walk into a clinic and have a doctor kill the baby they're carrying, . .
If you really hate abortion as much as you claim to;why the hell would you be against measures that could prevent the need for it??Makes No sense.

So a 13 year old has sex on the pill and uses a condom. Condom breaks. 13 year old gets pregnant as the pill is not 100%.
So that 13 year old should now have to give birth to a child and look after it?
How many 13 year olds do you know that are mature enough to take care of themselves, let alone a baby?
Lol, yeah, she does. 13? Really?
Seems like a baby would be the least of her problems.
And that, folks, is why the anti abortion crowd is a joke.
Punishing a child for something that wasn't her fault, but the fault of something that was supposed to prevent her getting pregnant in the first place.
I guess if a 13 year old was raped they should keep the child too?

It comes back to personal responsibility, doesn't it?
Yes, woman choosing to have abortion because she's not ready to take care of a kid.
Most responsible thing a woman can do.
You know I think that's most seriously messed up, right?
Why? It's completely honest.
Name one unselfish reason to bring a child into this world.
Killing a baby is selfish.
When is the cut off date for you?
I think NOT getting knocked up, in the first place, would take care of all reasons for and against abortions.
A fetus is not a baby.
ASAP would be my recommendation. It is not my business to tell someone else their business.
We are humans - - not machines.
"Want to feel the fetus kick?" said no pregnant woman ever.
ASAP is the next best thing.
Yes and as humans, we should know better.
Know better then what?

There are LIVING CHILDREN that need to be cared for.

It's a fallacious question so, no.
School administrators say otherwise. In an email to parents the day the school board filed the lawsuit, Two Rivers Director Jessica Wodatch wrote that many parents have told staff how their children are upset and scared by the daily protesters. “It is heartbreaking that a small group of individuals are harming this environment by scaring students and yelling at children as they walk into school,” she wrote. “You’ve entrusted us with your children, and we hope that our action today will help restore our safe learning community.”
The lawsuit claims the protesters have threatened the school for failing to oppose the clinic’s construction. It includes an email sent to school administrators by Jonathan Darnel, a protester from Ohio.
“If you are failing to challenge Planned Parenthood, I feel a moral obligation to alert the community (including the parents of your students) myself,” he writes. “I’m sure you don’t want to see me, my anti-abortion friends and our graphics images any more than we want to be in your neighborhood.”
Darnel isn’t alone when it comes to his out-of-state interest in the Two Rivers’ new neighbor. None of the regular protesters being sued alongside Handy live in D.C., let alone in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Nonetheless, protesters say their presence is a way to educate the students about the issue. Georgette Forney, co-founder of the Silent No More anti-abortion campaign, said it wasn’t easy to explain abortion to her child, and she’s sure many parents feel the same way.
