The problem with abortion is that it promotes a culture of death.

I'm sorry I just had to chime in here.

And how did you come to this conclusion? You are aware that the countries where abortions in all cases are illegal, the homicide/murder rates tend to be far higher? Brazil, Nigeria, Pakistan? Have a look at the map sometime where abortions are illegal, and where many murders occur around the world.
Then you have countries like Germany, Sweden, where their abortion laws are far more liberal than even the United States, and they hold among the lower murder and homicide rates in the world. You do have Ireland that has a relatively low homicide rate where abortions are illegal (the exception out of what? 50 nations where this is illegal in some or all cases?), but it doesn't stand out among countries where abortion is legal in all cases, in fact it has the same rate as that of the United Kingdom. It's pretty clear you did not bother to do your research before you decided to make this argument.

It's not about religion or a women's right to choose it's about making it culturally acceptable to kill people who are a burden on society.

I'm talking about euthanasia and systematic killing of people to relieve a perceived "burden on society".
...and if there is a correlation between homicide and abortion that's on you to prove.

Abortion doesn't kill "people". A zygote, an embryo or a fetus is not a person. It is a potential person.

F-----n kidding me. Every day seems to top itself.
Holder never had any real credibility but how low can people go for the sake of profit, especially when it comes from our pockets. Why don't you follow how much government money(our tax money) is going to these clinics.
I am seriously at the point where I don't even want to read, hear, see any news, especially after this Boston Lying Scam, Sham. It makes me sick to my stomach.

No, you just said a culture of death which could actually mean alot of things. You were not specific, and it's fairly obvious you're moving goal posts now.

I actually support euthanasia for those people suffering unspeakable diseases, disabilities. Where people choose the route of abortions themselves, or where their loved ones make that decision. Not sure what we must do with a woman who is so dependent on life support and non-responsive, and this is what she requires for the rest of her life. If her husband, her parents wish to just leave her in peace, what? What do you recommend??
Now I have small feeling that you may very well turn around and insist this wasn't what you meant, what you meant was 'forced euthanasia' or some forced abortion or whatever that is totally outside of the reality in this country today and is not legal in anycase. If this is going to be your follow up response, I'd like to see your sources.
...and if there is a correlation between homicide and abortion that's on you to prove.
I just did. There's no evidence to suggest that countries where abortion is legal in all cases creates a culture of murder or killers or death or what have you, we have the homicide rates as an example. You now argue this isn't relevant, but it is, whether you like it or not.

Your point being what? That, in your opinion, abortion creates a "death cult"?
I disagree. Individuals get abortions for personal reasons. They don't join a cult by doing so.
You dont want mothers to take responsibility for the consquences of having sex with people they dont intend on starting a family with.
The Guttmacher report shows “54 percent of women who have abortions had used a contraceptive method *usually condom or the pill) during the month they became pregnant.”

Does every act of sex have to be about reproduction and starting a family? What about the women who become pregnant after birth control failure? Don't you think that using contraception is "taking responsiblity"?

Abortion clinics do not murder babies, but I suspect you already knew that.
