What do you think of the "Roe vs. Wade for Men" case in Michigan?

He has a point.  According to equal protection, he should have the right to decide if he wants to be a father or not.  She lied to him and he made his wishes known.\n\nPersonally, if I were dumb enough to shack up with a woman I would take care of the kid

Abortion - Don't think I could do it unless my life was in danger, but I think it should be legal and I don't judge those who have them. Don't think they should happen after 12 weeks except in the case of medical emergency.\n\nStem cell research - no reason whatsoever to protest stem cell research if IV fertilization has been OK and still is. \n\nIraq War - with all the "threats" in the world, we went after the one that got away from his Daddy. Convenient, isn't it?\n\nGay marriage - sad that this is even an issue.\n\nWomen's rights - um, they should be the same as men's rights...\n\nThe Deep South of the US, I'm an atheist.

this is something I never could understand, I think if anyone did 5 minutes research they would see it was a republican Supreme Court Justice who wrote the opinion for Roe VS Wade in the Supreme Court, It was also a republican Supreme Court Chief Justice at the time also, Mrs Bush has even said on national TV (The Today Show) she does not believe the Roe VS Wade should be over turned and thought here husband agreed with her. The Roe VS Wade ruling was about not letting the Government control to make the decision for whats  right for a individual, the same with gun control, when the biggest gun control bill in recent history has been the Brady bill,( a Conservative backed bill) yes, both issues had allot of liberal support, but as in both things, but there is allot of gray area, that they misinform people with

Abortion is the killing of an unborn child! It's not a lifeless blob. That makes little to no sense at all. If you put a woman and a man together, they're not going to create a blob. They're gonna create a CHILD, which is what a fetus is. If one says ' I cant care for the child.....I have work school etc', adoption is a good answer. For the kids concieved in rape, it's not the childs fault who the father is. I feel for the mother and the baby.... But truly, it's a horrible horrible crime and should be stopped.

Roe vs. Wade has generated enormous discussion on the rights of the fetus vs. the mother. What every one seems to miss is the basic reason the right to an abortion was passed. Abortion is another one of those things like drinking or prostitution that has always existed, and cannot be eliminated by legislation. Abortion rights were not passed just to give a woman the right to end a pregnancy, it was passed to stop the back alley abortionists who were killing thousands of women and fetuses every year. Overturning Roe vs. Wade will not end abortions, it will only increase the deaths of young women, wives, daughters and sisters! The facts are a matter of history, not theory!

I personally don't believe that anyone should be forced to care for a child... and there is some bias in the women's direction due to them carrying the baby.  But I don't think it's fair that men can be expected to pay for the child if the women chooses not to abort...  That's a really tough call, though, because you don't want to take away the responsiblity of either party and provide excuses for more unwanted pregnancies....   hmmm...\n\nKeeping the legs crossed wins again!

Well after the Supreme Court decided that assisted suicide is a states' rights issue, it is well with in the right of South Dakotans to elect representatives to pass this bill.  There sounds like there will be a referendum, but if the citizens of South Dakota votes for this what's going to happen those who don't like the fact that a state has decided what should be a states rights issue (the same as what Oregon did with assisted suicide) will take the state to court, instead of letting the state make it's own law guaranteed it according to the constitutions concept of implied powers.  Especially considering Roe didn't go through the legislature, but was usurped by the judiciary.\n\nIf the Supreme Court is going to be consistent they will say it's a states rights issue.

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973)[1], was a landmark United States Supreme Court case establishing that most laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy, overturning all state laws outlawing or restricting abortion. It is one of the most controversial decisions in U.S. Supreme Court history.\n\nThe decision in Roe v. Wade prompted a decades-long national debate over whether terminating pregnancies should be legal (or more precisely, whether a state can deem the act illegal if it chooses to do so); the role of the Supreme Court in constitutional adjudication; and the role of religious views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade became one of the most politically significant Supreme Court decisions in history, reshaping national politics, dividing the nation into "pro-choice" and "pro-life" camps, and inspiring grassroots activism.\n\nOpposition to Roe comes primarily from those who viewed the Court's decision as illegitimate for straying too far from the text and history of the Constitution, and those possessing beliefs about the personhood of fetal human life.\n\nSupport for Roe comes from those who view the decision as necessary to preserve women's equality and personal freedom, and those who believe in the privacy of individual over collective rights, although the opposition to Roe often reference the privacy of the individual when referring to the unborn child.

I like it....a great thought experiment!\nWhich is more important to the people who are, for instance, willing to vote for a *constitutional amendment* for godsake to restrict freedoms in this country by saying we as a nation claim that the pursuit of domestic happiness must occur only between people with the appropriately different genitals.  The kinds of genitals that can together make babies. sometimes unwanted babies. Those folks want to make pursuit of happiness restricted.  Okay.  I'd love to see the poll numbers on how many of them would also like to have "the right to life" of the fetus trump the "right to liberty" of the adult female.  It's doubtlessly true that if gay marriage were legal everywhere and rights and equal status were conveyed to gay couples, then there would be more newly 'appropriate' homes for kids saved from being aborted by those heterosexual breeding pairs conservatives would like to limit marriage rights to.\nBut of course, the folks who tend to vehemently oppose abortion likely wouldn't be too pleased with gay couples getting babies to raise.  \nWhat's interesting, really, is how many non-conservative types are against gay marriage but against limiting abortion rights.  So, the right of someone to end a pregnancy falls under her rights to privacy and control over her body, but the right of someone to fall in love with and pledge to be partner to another person is subject to government approval.  I understand all the 'get the government off my body" stuff in the abortion wars, but the anti-gay-marriage thing for non-conservatives seems to me mostly about an 'eww' factor.

People need to realize that a fetus is a human being and a potential as an adult, and that abortion is murder and is against not only the declaration of independence "all men are created equal...right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" but also it is against the constitution of the USA."No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." They are being murdered based on a false idea that they are not human just as African Americans were put down and not thought as humans in the past just because of their color. people are very selfish and Stubborn in their ignorance.

Actually it's not DIY. It's instruction for people who want to start an underground clinic. So ideally the people performing the abortions will have to undergo some sort of training. It's not supposed to be people who wake up one day and decide to do an abortion.\n\nIf this is actually the case then I don't see it as that bad. Its better than a desperate woman drinking bleach or some of the other stories I've heard. There were some clean and safe (relatively, obviously not like a hospital) underground clinics before Roe vs Wade.

I've heard this one before, but it was done with a man being connected to another accidentally after getting drunk and going to the wrong area of a hospital. It kind of puts things in a different light. \nPersonally I could never have an abortion and if someone asked me for advice I would have to urge them against it, but ultimately it is their life and body, so it is their life.

First of all, they are making the women who give their babies up sound like criminals. I mean, when you file bankruptcy the blurb in the paper is only in for one day. I, for one, admire women that give up their babies for adoption. They have the brains & heart to know they can not take care of the baby and they choose to carry to term instead of get an abortion. It will definitely raise the amount of abortions. It's crazy.

It's considered ok in rape cases because it's too painful for the woman. It's a constant reminder every day for 9 months of that terrible situation. It is too hard on her emotional mental well-being. You can't worry about the fetus and ignore the feelings and needs of the already living, breathing human that already has a life she needs to live. That's immoral too.\n\nI'm pro-choice too by the way.

They were absolutely right.  Abortion needs to be available and legal in this country.  Women have a right to do what they want with their own bodies.\n\nIf men could get pregnant, abortion rights would be one of the first 10 amendments to the Bill of Rights.

In my opinion, the first girl should be charged as a juvenile for prostitution and the mom in the second case should go to jail for perjury. But then again, I live in logic land where things actually make sense. As much as women complain about equality, you would think they never pay attention to the court system. Women get preferential treatment in all aspects of the legal system. That goes all the way from a short skirt getting them out of a ticket, to a female teacher molesting a young boy. The scales are tipped way in their favor. I don't want to be gay, nor am I , but I certainly can understand why if it were a choice, that it would be taken.\n\nChild support?-BAM favor goes to women\nAbuse - BAM favor goes to women\nRape claims? - BAM women again\nMolestation - WOMEN\n It is crazy.

Yes its murder, and as for salamander guy above, from inception the egg is developing into a human life,it is not like a salamander neurologically,that's like saying its ok to kill a caterpillar but not a butterfly,your an idiot,life is life and just because its in its beginning or developmental stage,does not mitigate its value as life.Is it ok to kill a sapling but not a tree,or a tadpole ,but not a  frog,abortion is an issue of self centered people,choosing their own selfish desires ,over the responsibility for the value of the life they have created,and if it was not for an ultra liberal,gutless,supreme court we would not even have to be subjected to the issue of this legal murder.My guess is the same people that are proponents of abortion ar proponents of same sex marriages,got to go feel like puking now.
