Pro-aborts say:
A fetus is not a human life.

Todd Akin believed a medical myth:
The female body has the ability to "shut that thing down."

Both of these are equally ignorant.

Each seeks to escape the truth of a violent act.

Why is one worse than the other?

No one is pro abortion, just pro giving a woman a right to make her own choice, the government does not belong in our bodies.

Also Akin is a sitting congressman showing a blatant sign of ignorance that shouldn't be tolerated in office.

Would not you say a woman that has an abortion is pro abortion? Would not you say doctors whose living depends on abortions is pro abortion? There are people that are pro abortion. I am pro abortion. The less welfare bums having babies the better off we are.

Using the term "pro-abortion" is like calling gun owners "pro-killers" so when you start a topic out with making such an ignorant mistake in terminology it's a little hard to take your question seriously.

To answer your question: a fetus has the potential for life the same as an acorn has the potential to be an oak tree. To many people a fetus is not a human life until it is viable outside the womb. That IS a fact that people disagree on when life begins. What Akin's said is total bull designed to help redefine rape and public opinion of rape so that abortions in turn can be denied to all rape victims. i.e. if "they got pregnant then it wasn't a 'legitimate' rape."

Well I guess you are pro-abortion. I am not, but I think it is important for a woman to have the right to choose what they want to do with their own bodies and I don't think it is a man's place or a government's place to tell a woman what to do.

It's not up to men or government to tell a woman what to do but it is the governments job to ensure the safety of others.


In situations like abortion, someone has to get cut loose, whether it's...


The fetus that's being aborted
The emotional, physical, and financial factors of the mother
The medical/judicial safety of the mother

Contrast this statement to some of the others: Everyone that is for abortion has already been born.

Think about this then...


Everyone who will ever be born, is already alive.

Think about it, time didn't exist before you started forming your earliest memories right?

Well then, time didn't exist for anyone else.


This might be off topic though...
