    @1776iscoming
    i love the morality accusation of close-minded christians vs. atheists.

    1) Being ethical is being able to do the right thing when no one is watching. The ability to do the right thing in the face of personal threat.
    2) God is always watching over us, and threatens to kill us if we misbehave. (at least those who believe in him.)
    3) Adding statement 1 and 2: Christians possess no ethics. oh whoops.

    It is insanity to …
    It is insanity to make an issue out of someone’s own rights to her own body. Making her control illegal is like saying she is no better than a cow and must be controlled to weather she may or may not be pregnant and may or may not give birth. It’s like saying she is not human and can not make her own dicisions about her own body, she must be treated like an animal who is subject to it’s masters breeding desires for it. Honestly, where are these peoples minds who think to control a woman?!

    Sorry I had to cut out at 3 minutes. I am such a wimp when it comes to discussing stuff like that. I began to get queasy. Anyway good job on backing up your statements with links and I left you some stars.

    Let me know when you want the Peeps?

    Lmao Ok sure you would, really that’s nice to know. Yes I’m sure…Uh huh….

    Mam, you …
    Mam, you respectfully fail at logic, literature and sarcasm. It doesn’t matter if you were or were not scared, I would tear down every single argument you have for abortion except for one, and that is in the case of extremely high risk pregnancies, as in the mother and child will die if carried to term, and it would all be done with sound logic and never use any form of religion as a crutch. Thus leaving you the equivalent of a creationist, but with abortion instead of a literal interpretation

    Excellent video for …
    Excellent video for a horribly sad topic. We might as well be living in the dark ages as far as reproductive rights are concerned.

  8. wise120481 says:

    To me just the …
    To me just the thought of clothes hangers is enough to make me think that banning abortion is unthinkable!

    Furthermore, the best way to decrease poverty in the world is to give women control of their reproductive organs.

    Great Video, keep up the good work!

  9. ScouseCaspaXS says:

    Was this about …
    Was this about abortion being right or wrong? Or was this about what happens when the choice to have abortion is removed? Hmmmmmm…

    And was that a threat or something? Am I meant to be shaking in my boots with terror, if so it didn’t work.

  10. CronoPhage says:

    So u r pro-choice …
    So u r pro-choice because individuals are irresponsable? That doesn’t even answer the question of if it is right or wrong. If it is wrong then it is wrong period, if it is right then yes there should be access, but answer if it is right or wrong, say when it is wrong if ever. I really, really might just start making videos just to shut your ignorant down.

    Rights are merely a …
    Rights are merely a fabrication of reality, essentially, there is no such thing as rights, but for the sake of this argument lets assume that there is such a thing as rights *sigh* the woman forgoes any right she has when she puts her own wants infront of her needs, its like giving a homeless person $50 and he goes and gets drunk instead of buying food, its not the person who gave the homeless person the $50′s fault that the homeless person is hungry.

  12. Tyrtamus says:

    I did NOT SAY EVEN …
    I did NOT SAY EVEN ONCE that the government has to come in and pick up the pieces.

    I’m merely saying that abortions should be legal and that pro-life is irresponsible and wrong. A woman should have the right to get an abortion.

    If you don’t want to have an abortion, fine. But don’t infringe on the rights of others. Get it?

  13. KamikazeChicken5000 says:

    ok well you have …
    ok well you have your sex or whatever, but dont expect to have society and government to come in and pick up the peices for you after you become pregnant, same goes for anyone else, i never said i wanted to make abortions illegal, i said that if you go and get pregnant it is YOUR responsibilaty and YOURS alone to go and deal with it, dont use the government and society as scapegoats.

    Population Control? …
    Population Control?

    That one day that a Finite Planet and it’s finite resources is going to cause a Survival of the fittest scenario in which the developed Countries of the World are going to plunder the remaining resources of the World?

    Either that or we’re heading to a 3rd World War in which the Population will decrease through mass murder, nuclear Holocaust etc?

    Proving what point?
    We haven’t spoken before so how can one make a point to be proved right if we haven’t engaged in chat?

  15. 1776iscoming says:

    Thank you for …
    Thank you for proving my point. It has nothing to do with the “health of the mother”, to some it’s out of convenience, to some it’s for population control, but it has nothing to do with keeping the mother safe.

  16. GriffinPilgrim says:

    Because it …
    Because it blatantly isn’t, moron.

  17. 2DRonaldo says:

    The annoying thing …
    The annoying thing is the Religious Right will see a Women who dies trying to abort her child will just reply with.. “Not my problem, they’ll burn in Hell”.

    But when the Population grows to a point where we are fighting over the last of the resources and Governments will kill to get them like were doing in Iraq now then Abortion will seem like a much more viable choice.

    Reducing the population though Abortion or Resource Wars.. Starvation, Genocide etc.

  18. 2DRonaldo says:

    Scouse!! Hugz!


    Scouse!! Hugz!

    You’re right, i’ve heard the tales about Coat Hanger abortions and Black Market Abortion Clinics in Majority Catholic Nations.
    Even women that get their boyfriends to punch them in the lower stomach.

  19. Tyrtamus says:

    If you think that …
    If you think that sex is only for reproduction, then you are part of an extremely small minority. Sex is largely for pleasure in our society and thats fine as long as safety is practiced.

    Usually, measures were taken but failed when it comes to those seeking abortions.

    The whole point is if a woman wants to have an abortion, she has the right to make that choice, and people like you don’t have the right at ALL to dictate whether or not abortions are legal.

    is true just 1 mans lifetime ago sex was for reproduction only plus being married to your cousin was a put off from experimenting sexual pleasure and was mostly about love & respect ,there was wenches for the poor folk but sex and abortion was rather tabboo,a few years on its expanded and has broken threw that barrier ,being marrid to cousin ,love & respect is now taboo and sex divorce ,abortions are the norm, its here to stay so there needs to be choices as it cant be swept under the carpet

  21. KamikazeChicken5000 says:

    How is saying that …
    How is saying that the only point of sex is to reproduce a stupid thing to say?

  22. ScouseCaspaXS says:

    @ …
    @KamikazeChicken5000
    I’m going to stop the discussion right now, seriously.
    That could be the SINGLE most stupid thing I have EVER heard. Full stop. You have literally just blew my mind. Wow *shakes head* Seriously? I need to go lie down…..

  23. KamikazeChicken5000 says:

    i do not blame …
    i do not blame desperate women for doing desperate things, i blame rational women for doing things that make them become desperate women

  24. KamikazeChicken5000 says:

    yeah really, thats …
    yeah really, thats the only point of sex

  25. ScouseCaspaXS says:

    @ …
    @KamikazeChicken5000
    LOL, really? The ONLY point of sex is for reproduction? Really? I take it you ONLY have sex when you want a child then and for no other reason ever. Really…wow…just wow.
