Point one; when a woman becomes pregnant, she shares her body with another.
The fate of the body within is at the whim of the mother.
Point two; outlawing abortion will not end abortion. True. Teaching the values of a human life, teaching morality, might
Point three; we are talking about post-birth death and the total lack of value placed on a human life here.
The first time I aided in giving birth, was to a woman who fell down a flight of stairs because she was drunk. She didn't give a tinkers damn about her child. She was pissed because her last beer bottle broke.
You are a mother, how could you NOT hold your own and weep against the miracle?

I find it evil to outlaw a woman's choice.
Women have always, women to this day in ME countries and other countries that abortion are illegal in, have ways to take care of an unwanted pregnancy, modern medicine has a much safer way to do it. Outlawing abortion won't stop abortion, just criminalize women for deciding on whether they want to or can be a mother at that time as well as put the health of the woman at risk and if it fails could have a profound effect on the development. You're a doctor of some sort aren't you? You know the stages of pregnancy, most abortions are performed very early before there's even technically a fetus
Planned Parenthood does NOT support post-birth abortion. They are stating they are not getting involved in a medical decision that is for the birth parents and the doctors involved.
What did the representative say about post-birth abortion? She said that this decision should be left up to the woman in question and her doctor.
If a casual murder of a child is okay in an abortion clinic, then you should not shed a god damned tear for those at SandyHook!

She shares her fallopian tubes with a zygote for 5 weeks, then she shares her uterus with a blastocyst for another 2 before it becomes an embryo that is developing a brain stem and spinal column.
The fate of the body within is at the whim of the mother.
It isn't a body until about 10 weeks. But I believe most States define unborn child at embryo.

Social engineering?
Point three; we are talking about post-birth death and the total lack of value placed on a human life here.
I don't think the woman the OP and you are outraged about is exhibiting a lack of value on human life, she is stating it is between the doctor and the family. A Planned Parenthood councilor has no place after a woman has decided to go ahead with an abortion, they're out of the equation.
I believe all States have seperate laws for abortions after 27 weeks (legally viable) that they can only be performed if the mother's life is at serious risk and there is a law protecting that child if it lives, so I'm not sure why this is even being debated.Born-Alive Infant Protection Act signed into law in 2002, something I agreed with GW Bush on, by the way.

That's really sad, that woman shouldn't be a mother. I wonder how that girl is doing now.
You are a mother, how could you NOT hold your own and weep against the miracle?
You're emotional about this issue so I'll let that slide and answer. When I held my son for the 1st time I more than wept, I literally felt like I would physically explode because there was no way my body could contain the amount of love and joy I was experiencing, I couldn't breathe because I was trying to hold back my sobbing so that I wouldn't scare him. Yes he was a miracle.
But I am not every woman, I wanted to be a mother, he was conceived in love. My emotional attachment to my zygote and blastocyst and embryo and baby were there because I wanted him, not because zygotes and blastocysts are human.
Unfortunately life is just a commodity, an annoyance. A growth in some woman's belly. It has become a commodity. A bartering tool. A parasite.
Progressives? Fair warning. DON'T YOU DARE USE SANDYHOOK AS AN EXAMPLE TO WHY WE NEED TO RID SOCIETY OF GUNS!

Now I'm gonna call you out.
BS! Your emotions have gotten the better of you here.
That's about the 3rd or 4th post I've seen of yours today that lumps anyone who doesn't agree with you as Progressives and in a tone that suggests you view them as an enemy. Are you drinking today? I can't otherwise fathom where this is coming from.

It's amazing to me that Dr Krevorkian spent time in jail for mercy killing those who willingly made the choice to die because of their suffering and yet women and doctors might soon be allowed to make the choice to kill live babies who might or might not be suffering but were born ALIVE.
I have halfheartedly believed that some abortions should be allowed...rape, incest,
Because in the case of a rape or murder it comes down to the life and sanity of the mother or the child who has not yet been born.
Though I still think that under no cirsumstances should post birth abortions be allowed,

I do support the woman's right and choice to have an abortion, which is not murder.
