atrap…Poor …
atrap…Poor circumstances do not make a mother killing her own baby right. I was raped at 17 yrs, old. Killing my baby would not have removed a rape,but only added murder to the already sorry situation. There is no excuse for murdering, unless it is in self defense.
I stand corrected. …
I stand corrected. You are very fortune to never have been in the dire situations the women in this video have been in. I’m also guessing you’re not low-income, in an abusive relationship, or dependent on another person for everything you need and you have someone to care for you.
atrap…You are …
atrap…You are sorely mistaken. I am the mother of 7 beautiful children. I know life when it moves within my womb, it is a living human life regardless of what name you want to stick on them.
You clearly are not …
You clearly are not a woman or you have never been in the situations these women are in.
Where did they get …
Where did they get the figure of 500K abortions a year?

Waffle…Way to make it real guy. Honesty is a powerful tool. Your integrity makes everything you say so much sharper. Rarely do you hear people tell it like it is!! KUDO’s!! I think you kind of left aviss in a smoke!
Calling pro-choice …
Calling pro-choice people who are pro-abortion is a dirty dangerous euphemism. Pro-choice is a way of avoiding to say:”pro-I-kill-my own-son/daugher-when-ever-I-want”, it is as twisted as calling the Holocaust “final solution”, or taking Jews to torture and death champs,”re-location”,it is a coward, criminal way of hiding the truth.Killing babies because they will be handicaped is also nazi, they did so. Women who “commit” an abortion are selfish criminals. We must start naming things properly.
Abortions are done …
Abortions are done mostly for non-medical reasons. As the abortion industry itself admits on the website of the Alan Guttmacher Institute,”3/4 say they cannot afford a child;3/4 say that having a baby would interfere with work,school or the ability to care for dependents;& half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner.”
“…The …
“…The abortion-rights folks know it, the anti-abortion folks know it, and so probably, does everyone else. One of the facts of abortion is that women enter abortion clinics to kill their fetuses. It is a form of killing …you’re ending a life.” Ron Fitzsimmons, Executive Director, National Coalition of Abortion Providers, New York Times, 26 February 1997
Well, very few …
Well, very few people in our country today would try to argue that abortion is a good, happy, ideal thing. Democrats haven’t said that, and Obama hasn’t said that. Yet there’s something very backward, something deeply pessimistic and hopeless, about a policy that legalizes and expands something it considers morally wrong. Democracy is ill-served when people vote and legislate against their own beliefs.
cont…We estimate …
cont…We estimate that most pro-choice women in the USA have had abortions. So What Motivates Pro-Choice Women? Is it the love of God? Is it the love of humanity? Is it about the welfare of women in Africa? No, what motivates pro-choice women is their need to rationalize and self-justify their crime against nature, their crime against humanity, their crime against self, their crime against their child and their crime against God. Reference: Finer LB and Henshaw SK, Estimates
What Motivates …
What Motivates Pro-Choice Women? How many pro-choice women in the USA have had abortions? According to the Allan Guttmacher Institute, at least one out of almost every three women, or at least over 3 out of every 10, aged 15 through 65, has had an abortion in the USA. Since, as a rule of thumb, approximately half of the women in the USA are pro-life versus pro-choice; then we estimate that over 3 out of every 5 pro-choice women, aged 15 through 65, has had an abortion in the USA.
Hence, cont..
According to the …
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, in 2005, 1.21 million abortions took place in the United States. Some 42,350 of these occurred on women who were 16 to 20 weeks pregnant; over 13,310 occurred on women who were 21 weeks or more into their pregnancy. According to CDC government data, over 64,000 abortions in a year are performed on women who had had three or more previous abortions.
In a study of …
In a study of teenage abortion patients, half suffered a worsening of psychosocial functioning within 7 months after the abortion. The immediate impact appeared to be greatest on the patients who were under 17 years of age&for those with previous psychosocial problems.Symptoms included: self-reproach,depression,social regression, withdrawal,obsession with need to become pregnant again,&hasty marriages.
Google “Kansas …
Google “Kansas abortion statistics”&read the stats on abortion published online by the Kansas Dept of Health and Environment
Between 04 and 08 Tiller performed 1928 late term abortions.
99% had no birth defects
99% posed no risk of death? to mother
99% involved no medical emergency
According to the LA Times, Tiller made $6000 for each late term (22+weeks old) abortion
1928 x $6000 = $11,568,000 for 5 yrs (04–08)
& that does not include the $ from the 1000s of his early term abortions
The killing of …
The killing of children is NOT a religious issue but a human rights issue& it is as a “human rights issue” that this battle must be fought.Along with being the organization that is 100% responsible for killing these human beings the American Medical Association is exploiting ALL women by claiming that all of the killing that has taken place so far & all of the killing that will continue to take place into the future is a woman’s fault,or as they call it a “woman’s choice”.
To make absolutely …
To make absolutely sure that future generations have proof that women are the ones responsible for all of the killing they demand that a woman (ONLY a woman) sign the order of execution before a member of the AMA will perform the killing.That is to say that every child that is killed by a member of the American Medical Association has a woman’s signature associated with the killing. Without this “mandatory” signature of a woman (the mother), the child gets to live.
So, not only are …
So, not only are children being killed by the American Medical Association, but women are being placed in a situation where they MUST accept the blame because it was “their” choice, not a man’s. And if you want to see actual proof that it was a woman’s choice all you have to do is refer to the millions upon millions of signatures on the orders of execution – each and every one of them belonging to a woman
The American …
The American Medical Association is responsible for the extermination of millions, upon millions, upon millions of human beings. They are doing in under the guise of a medical procedure and they are expoliting women in order to profit from the extermination of these human beings. Any person who says it’s a “woman’s choice” has bought into the propaganda of blaming women for the extermination of these humans beings.
We never forced her …
We never forced her to get pregnant,she was free to chose that all on her own.What we are saying is that once she has created that new life,she should carry it to term.9 months is not a life sentence,consider the life expectancy of a woman.None of those changes to her body will kill her.Give up her baby? It’s better than hiring a hitman to forcibly enter her womb in the sole purpose of dismembering,tearing,suctioning out the tiny baby parts w/his cold steel tools!!! WOMB BECOMES TOMB,inescapable
it’s not better …
it’s not better when that “safe treatment” causes the death of another. If she does it unsafely and ends up killing herself, that will have been her decision, and we didn’t force her to do so. We played no part in that, so we have no blood on our hands. And yes, I will dictate that doctors be held to the same standards as all the rest of us in that “being in the best interest” of someone cannot include taking the life of another, unless your very life is being threatened.
How on earth can we …
How on earth can we consider & support our own mother killing us because we were the product of rape? Does this mean anyone is superior to someone who is the product of rape? I cannot exchange one tragic event with one ten times worse!
Also, RAPE IS HORRIBLE. The solution to rape is to stop it from happening not let it go unpunished. The act is inhuman and the penalty under law isn’t severe enough. Rapists need to know that there is no room for their existence in society
Humans are …
Humans are intelligent, most know what causes pregnancy, we are not animals. Practice some self control.

si mi papa no la hubiese cogido a mi mama, tampoco me hubiese nacido
y?
Y segun la Iglesia, ese gran maestro de la moralidad q lleva siglos y siglos, nos ensenan la maldad q es el condon, el sexo prematrimonial, la masturbacion, q mata alos hijos ‘casi nacidos’
y?
No sos mi dueno, ni soy yo tu esclavo. Hace lo q quieras, y dejame q yo haga lo q quiera yo. Me explico?
Porque hay un tema …
Porque hay un tema de etica mèdica en medio de todo. Si a vos te hubieran abortado no hubieras escrito el comentario. Es verdad cada uno decide, pero que pasa con el derecho a la vida?, apoyo entonces las vasectomìas y las lìgaduras de trompas, ademas muchas mujeres quedan mal psicologicamente despues de un aborto, se sienten “culpables” de por vida. Lo ideal seria que el Estado garantize el derecho de todos. Es un tema que tiene muchos factores, No se quien tiene la razòn.
