See, it's this comment that shows how screwed up abortion is. Abortion is about the killing of a potential human beings, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. The comment above basically says that it's justified for a woman (Potential mother) to kill a potential baby simply because she doesn't want all the "Hard work in makings babies."

Thanks for giving irresponsible women a form of birth control that allows them to kill potential children.
wouldent you agree that it's better than the both of them dieing in a back alley abortion?

Someone recently told me that when they hear "back alley abortion" they think "coat hanger." That did/does happen, but it's also important to know that people do other horrific things to terminate pregnancies. Like
...A teenager who allowed her boyfriend to beat her with a miniature baseball bat to cause an abortion...
from Jan 2005.

And
A man who stomped on his pregnant girlfriend's stomach and killed their unborn baby will go to jail for 25 years for assaulting the mother. The 24-week-old unborn baby was stillborn after the attack, but Australian law does not allow the father to be charged with murder.

Kylie Flick told Phillip King she was pregnant on April 18, 2002. Flick refused to have an abortion, so King offered two people $500 to beat her up and kill the baby, according to The Australian. King told them, "I don't care about the consequences - - I would rather go to jail than have a kid," the newspaper reported.

King killed the baby himself August 20, when he kicked and stomped Flick's abdomen about six times, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
from 2002.

That type of occurrence isn't extremely rare. That was all off topic, sorry, but I thought it was interesting.

Back to Chrissy's posts, it seems like a clear distinction of "The woman's body/not the woman's body." It's in her, therefore it's a matter concerning her body, a choice about the mother's life. Once it's born, it's all about the child's life.

exactly, hence why im pro choice.
i do tend to be slightly sexist from time to time(in a jokeing manner though) but when it comes down to something like this it's solely up to the mother in the end, yes, their should be a discussion between the two parents about what should be done and what each of them want's but in the end it's up to her and what she want's to do.
guy's that think that girls should have the baby no matter what sincerely disgust me, since, it's one of the most sexist mind sets to have(in my opinion of course) because there is no choice for the woman at all, and what if he leaves her and ignores the fact that he even has any responsibility to the child at all.i say all that because my girlfriends ex is exactly like that, he wanted to have the kid, then he ran off to alberta to get away from the resopnsibility. he is now referred to as the sperm donor(for good reason that irresponsible woman hateing fuck)
arg!!!
well thats more than enough of a rant from me.
