I know doctors,veternarians, well paid public officials and businessmen aborting female foetuses in poor countries.Now the picture is changing.Young girls have asserted themselves in India.After ten years Indian bridegrooms find it difficult to find a submissive less educated less earning bride.Media played almost no role in it.Media`s role in sex education is also pathetic.Press even in freest countries really have not explained the difference between pornography and sex education.

This is your opinion.\nNot held by a few, I might add, especially considering that just about 50 percent of "people who are against abortion" are males and a good percentage of the remainding 50 percent are married women or children.\nSo poltitics and religion aside, you are probably correct in your assesment.

I am for it. I believe it is a personal choice, and that the government has NO rights to tell us women, what we CAN or Cannot do with our bodies....every situation is different...I think it is more horrid...to let 12 year old's become mother's...than it is to give them abortions...

It a total, complete corruption of the human race, thanks to the 21st Century World Plague of Liberalism.\n\nThis shows the extreme selfish nature of those who believe in abortion and there's a need for laws to exist against it worldwide. The young, clueless people can't be allowed to get their way like spoiled brats and not have any consequences.

Don't know about the partial.  In SD, the most restrictive ban on abortion was soundly defeated, and in CA the parental notification law was also soundly defeated.\n\nFundies were again given a nice dose of reality.  Abortion rights and and woman's right to chose will never go away.

W doesnt read or watch the news, but only receives filtered information from his corrupt administration.  Besides,polls state that as much as 29% of the population supports him.  Whcih is amazing as his policies are only benefiting the richest 5% of the population.  I guess the other 24% are racists, homophobes, and religious fanatics that are willing to see their economic well being destroyed in order to further progate their hate.\n\nTo answer your question:  the one good thing Bush has done for the country is not have a son,  as the chauvinist republic majority would never elect a woman.

It influences more.  People today are trying so hard to be "glam" like celebrities we see splashed all over the media.  There is no sense of just being yourself anymore.  \nAnd I think people trust the news much more than they should.  People don't realize that journalists are getting paid to write what will sell and won't offend, which is not necessarily the truth.\nThe media in no way reflect our society.

No, abortion is a device to kill a fetus.  Contraception devices should be the morning after pill, the patch, iuds, birh control pills, condoms (at the top of the list, because of AIDS too), spermicidal jelly, spermicidal foams, and the list goes on.  \n\nAbortion is used as a solution to the Oops Factor.  People so irresponsible they became caught up in the moment and now a child must die.

I agree completely.  The leftist liberal extremists have bought the medias propaganda regarding issues such as abortion.  These are the same communists who feel that, although equally a parent, the childrens father should have no say regarding the murder of his child.\n\nThese fascist bigots preach against sexism and bigotry, but practice sexism every day by preaching it is a 'womans choice' to murder the child.  Again the other parents opinion is not even considered.\n\nYour comparison to sex offenders is excellent.  These liberal extremists are so intolerant to the views of others that they will not even consider looking at another point of view or the facts regarding issues such as this.\n\nLiberalism is, in itself, a mental disorder.

nothing.  it's a power that women have, not a right.  So make all the rules you want, women will still take care of business.  FYI if no one had an abortion, there'd be 25% more people.

I'm pro-choice and was raised Roman Catholic.  There is diversity in the pro-choice group, so I assume there is diversity in the pro-life group as well.

Overpopulation is the elephant in the living room that no one's talking about.  It's one of the biggest global threats.  I think people avoid the subject because it involves birth control education, including abortion.  \n\nThe Bush administration has instituted the Global Gag Rule, which restricts foreign non-governmental organizations that receive money from the USAID's family planning program from using their OWN non-U.S. money to\n-provide safe abortion services\n-impart any information about abortion\n-engage in public information services about abortion\n\nBush says this is because he doesn't want US money paying for overseas abortions.  But Federal law has barred the use of US fund for abortions since 1973.\n\nHere's a good site with lots of info:\nhttp://www.populationconnection.org/

This is a very touchy subject. I'm not saying I agree with you though. \n\nIt's the woman's choice, if you choose not to do it, great! But people have no right to tell others what to do with their body. What if it was killing the mother, like an ectopic pregnancy? That doesn't give the mother the right to abort the pregnancy?\n\nJust because someone chooses to abort the pregnancy doesn't mean their children are lower than animals either.\n\nI think people (especially girls) should be educated more about methods to prevent pregnancy, like birth control pills, implants, diaphams, etc. The guy might wear the condom, but it is ultimately the girls responsibility to be more careful about becoming pregnant.

i never thought about it that way.thank you Spock.people all the time say that Christians are imposing their religion on abortion.you know,your right,if an atheist came forward on t.v and said that, the pro-choice would never say their imposing their views on the abortion issue.\n              God Bless

No, we wouldn't have to factor in the unwanted people if legs would be kept closed and there plenty of people who want but can't have. If self control was practiced we would have a lot less trouble with this topic. There are the few that get raped and whatever the other excuses are but there is adoption for that and as for health...my child has a right to live more than I do...abortion isn't really great for a woman's health either ya know?
