the silent scream was debunked years ago. it was not real and the person who did it was a fraud. try again folks. try again. this is proof that a fetus cannot feel pain until the mid-second trimester http://www.religioustolerance.org/abo_pain.htm http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-08-23-fetal-pain_x.htm

I have answred this type of question before
I'm 100% behind a womans ability to make medical choices herself. BUT if and I do mean a BIG IF we some how decided that women can not make their own choices when it comes to reproduction I would only agree to it under the following terms:
The government will recognize the fetus as a living member of society. They will become citizens also granting the status of a person eligible for a social security card and allowing the parents of said person to become equally eligible for any and all claims given to parents of dependents who have been born
A national Pro-life list shall be rendered. That list will henceforth be responsible for the housing, health, emotional, and educational care of all unwanted children ( thousands will end up in state run facilities. Just as Pro-lifers balk and paying for abortion I balk at being forced to pay for thousands of children who would not have been born if women were able to make a choice on their own and NO you pro lifers you don’t get a pass you want to abolish it YOU pay for it) The individuals who are on that list will be the sole economic support for children who land in state run facilities. If for any reason the monies collected from said list do not maintain the masses of children born the abortion act will become retroactive once again allowing women to again maintain their right to decide for themselves what is and isn’t best...and the topic will never become a national debate EVER again.
Abortion is an issue for the pregnant woman only. It is not the governments business, nor the public, nor the church, spouse, friend, police or anyone else. A woman has control over her own body - no one owns her body but her.
Sex is here to stay. Should one be careful and use birth control? Sure. But, the fact is, they don't. When a pregnancy occurs, then it is her decision to give birth or not. It isn't fair but that's the way it is. If she could hand the pregnancy to the male who also didn't use birth control - and let him carry the child and give birth, then abortion would not be necessary.....or would it?
Many people hop all over a woman who gets pregnant and looks to abortion. These self-righteous people think they have the right to moralize, feel superior and feel like they are somehow entitled to tell her what she must do. Well, they are wrong.
If only there was as much stigma upon the lazy, selfish male who impregnated her, maybe men and boys would be a little more responsible.
