What do you think of the new abortion bill?

I'm glad. First, no one should be taking anyone's daughter across state-lines for ANY reason without her parent's permission. That should be obvious. Secondly, most young girls have abortions because of fear. They are too immature to make a rational decision in those circumstances. It is only wise to talk to a mature and experienced adult, (especially a father or mother) in such a situation.

Wow, hun. Trying to solve the abortion issue by merely saying "Well, you can't take aspirin in school w/out parental consent, so therefore you shouldn't be able to get an abortion w/out parental consent" is waaaaaaaaay too simplistic of an approch toward such a complex issue.

Does that mean that if I'm 20, then that must mean that I'm not responsible enough to drink....Meaning there's no way I'm responsible enough to deicide if I should get an abortion or not?

I'm sure your probably thinking either 'well, your not having responsible sex/you are having sex period, so no!', or 'abortion is wrong, so responsability doesn't have anything to do w/ it!'....but please try and set those views aside for a second and think about the logic of your approach. If we decide that if a minor can't do anything based off whether she is allowed to take aspirin in school or not is....Dumb.

Besides, minors are allowed to drop out of school at 16....So that completely destroys your "We hardly let minors take aspirin without parental consent [at school], yet we allow them to have major surgery?" arguement.

"What about the case of the boyfriend who wants to shirk his responsibly and so forces the girl to get an abortion?"

What about the case of the government that wants to force woman to have babies? It goes both ways, sister.

Again, pick a different arguement.

What you should really be saying about this entire abortion issue, is: What if a man rapes a woman? I mean, she really shouldn't have an abortion b/c it isn't the baby's fault that she was raped. Afterall, the baby is innocent, right?

If you pro-life guys really believe that any unborn baby is an innocent life, then you should seriously consider forcing raped woman to have the children.

Afterall, just b/c she was raped doesn't mean she should kill her baby. Two wrongs don't make a right, right?

As a pro-choicer, I think you guys should really show your true colors and take a REAL pro-life stance. Don't just chip away at the system here. Afterall, we're talking about thousands of human lives here. And that's important to you guys, isn't it?

When you can take girls over the state line to kill them, which abortion does, then this action should be made illegal. So sure, it is a good law.

What is happening to a "girl's right to choose" or a "boy's right to choose"?

By their very existence they are choosing to LIVE. It is only because the so-called mother is bigger and more powerful that her choice is carried out against the choice of the baby.

Look at the pics and videos on the link below and you'll know what I mean--the baby is definately human. You can see the human life in the features.

You would prefer that the minor stay in state and go to a second rate place and end up with their repoductive system messed up? As long as the person taking them out of state is their parents and it is not being done to cover up another crime (incest, etc.) the government needs to butt out of the abortion issue.

The boyfriend can not force the girl to do anything. Unless he comes into the clinic and holds a gun to her head, she still has the option to not have one. I heard about that story and i think the whole thing is baloney. She had an option, but she chose to cave.

The point of the whole thing is giving people the choice. While I do not believe in abortion, I do not believe it is my right as an American to force my religious beliefs on anther person. They should be aable to make that choice on their own. Besides, I have seen the down side of a teen having a kid WAY too early and being forced to use it.

Abortion is a God Given Right that cannot be controlled by man's law. For example, how would you know if a child took the abortion pill before a trip to college, or after? You can't because that would violate God's Will. Abortion has always been available to any woman who wanted one. And it will always exist because those who wish it to be against the law are in violation of one of God's obvious rules. God himself uses abortion in the form of miscarriage. And he does so for many reasons including to end rape instigated pregnancy, end suffering and to protect children. The problem for the Anti Abortion group is that a loving God does not kill in abortion; a loving God protects the life of the fetus and uses it again. There is no killing and there is no sin. The Bible is in complete support of abortion, and there is nothing in the Bible to support the anti abortion nuts.

I don't know where you get your information that only 1% of abortions are due to rape or incest. Most women would not say if that was indeed the case. For that reason and many others, I believe that women have the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that includes whether or not to carry a pregnancy to full-term.

It's about responsibilty and involves both the man and the woman. If the woman is under the age of consent, i.e., a minor, her parents or guardian are responsible for her legally. Not only in this circumstance, but in other areas of the law.

The bill is missing the point. "Which state has laws you can live with?" That's what this bill seems to be saying. Its a very stupid question. Perhaps if it said "dont perform surgery without adult informed consent" we'd be getting somewhere.

ps just thought: adult could be the guy, and she could be under pressure, but what does the state line have to do with it? How U is the USA?

Or the coach that has been doing your 13 daughter.

The law that lets a under age girl get an abortion with out any one knowing about it only helps the men that prey on young girls. The ones fighting it want our young as their prey.

I'm sick and tired of the government telling me what I can and can't do. Since Bush took over, Amercans have lost more personal rights than we have during any 6 year period of my lifetime.

Enough is enough. You don't believe in abortions, DON'T HAVE ONE. But stay out of my life.
