Is the "Pro-Choice" (yea I know Pro-abortion), so called Constitutional right to kill children, a grossly?

Question

flawed amoral position? Will history judge us as animalistic barbarians for killing our own offspring?

"I am now speaking of rights under the Constitution, and not of moral or religious rights. I do not discuss the morals of the people favoring abortion, but let them settle that matter for themselves. I hold that the people who favor abortion are civilized, that they bear consciences, and that they are accountable to God and their posterity and not to us. It is for them to decide therefore the moral and religious right of the abortion question for themselves within their own limits."

Taken from Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln's pro-choice-on-slavery opponent, in the presidential election of 1858. I changed the word slavery for that of abortion! Is it not sad, how it fits so well!

Isn't it funny how the apologists for evil always sound alike, regardless of the issue they're trying to defend. Shameful!

Answer 1

now that's just plain stupid.

"I am now speaking of rights under the Constitution, and not of moral or religious rights. I do not discuss the morals of the people favoring the law against abortion, but let them settle that matter for themselves. I hold that the people who favor a law against abortion are civilized, that they bear consciences, and that they are accountable to God and their posterity and not to us. It is for them to decide therefore the moral and religious right of the abortion question for themselves within their own limits."

that works just as well.

if you don't want an abortion don't get one.

ummm.... I think your confused, we don't go up to random mothers-to-be and tell them they should get an abortion, we also don't pressure people who don't want the baby but would rather adopt to abort. Many of us (like me) think abortion is wrong, but since we think other people should have the freedom to make a different CHOICE we are pro-CHOICE.

Answer 2

If you substitute gun for slavery it fits well too.

Abortion has nothing to do with morality, it has to do with choice, and freedom. However the death penalty does have to do with morality, just ask the axis of evil countries that allow it, where the rest of the world doesn't.

Answer 3

The basic issue is:

Is an unborn child a living human being?

If the answer is yes, there can be no justification for abortion.

If the answer is no, there can be.

Answer 4

Non it was a law suite, not what the framers of the constitution had in mind.

Answer 5

Funny how you did not choose to insert the words "Death Penalty".  I always find it amusing that anti-choice people want to force a woman to carry an embryo to term, no matter whether the child is a result of rape, incest,  a child that will have a debilitating disease or carrying the child will harm or kill the mother yet once the birth occurs they will be more than happy to kill the person.  They do not consider state sanctioned murder "amoral" yet they consider a woman making a personal decision as to her own body "amoral"

Answer 6

If laws were to dictate morals we'd live in a nanny state theocracy.

Answer 7

relax.... life is simple....  if you don't believe in abortion... don't get one... as you say: God will judge us all.....

including idiots who try to you his Word to promote their political beliefs!!!!!  

if you are looking for morality in the country we live in.... perhaps you need to find a new country... because since the birth of this country... the only God worshiped here.... is the almighty dollar!!!!!  

Answer 8

1) If a woman is raped and can not go through with the pregnancy, abort.

2) If, because of medical complications, she will die if the fetus is brought to term, abort.

3) Condoms and birth control are just that, practice safe s*x. If not, welcome your child and raise them with the utmost care and love. You can also give the child to a adoptive loving home. Bottom line, do not have s*x if you can not deal with the possible end  result.
