What if we called it what it is?

No, darling, I do not. It is an absolute violation of the woman's autonomy.

Taking the ability to make decisions regarding one's destiny and biological integrity out of the hands of the individual is slavery. We have Constitutional protections against that.

I also do not think that the government should be in the position of forcing one person's beliefs about when life begins on other people who do not share that belief. We have Constitutional protections against that, too.

There is no medical consensus as to when life begins (or even on what constitutes "life"), but what anti-choicers want is to force their belief that their god breathes life into fertilized eggs or some other magical event occurs into the legal code, essentially establishing a religious belief as law in violation of the First Amendment.

BQ 1: I do not think that the government should make health care decisions for anyone.

BQ 2: I do not think that blood and organ donations should be enforced under the law, either. I think that it would be an unconscionable violation of the autonomy of the individual forced to donate. Again, the ability to make decisions regarding biological integrity and the course of one's life belongs to the individual. Anything less is a kind of enslavement.

Well done at calling this "controversy" what it really is, darling.

That's a resounding no to your first question...I'd like to elaborate - when people talk about repealing Roe vs. Wade, they don't ever go into detail as to how that would work. For instance, would there be a government agency that would monitor every woman's pregnancy? Would women have to sign up for this monitoring or maybe there would be a law that every doctor has to report each pregnancy to the government? And what if a woman has a miscarraige - would that government agency investigate every instance of that to make sure that it was a miscarraige and not an abortion? And what would the legal ramifications be? Would the government put women and their doctors on trial and jail them?

BQ1 - The same way I feel about the above

BQ2 - No, no health decision should be mandatory - no outside agency, no matter where it comes from, should be able to force a health decision.

And here's a bonus answer - Why is it that those who are so very much against abortion are also the same ones who sneer at helping young children in poverty?

A) Do you think that a woman should be forced by the government to remain pregnant against her will?

You mean: do I think that a woman should be forced by the government to not kill her own children? Yes. Yes I do.

BQ1: How do you feel about the government making OTHER health care decisions for people?

I believe that the government should also legally prohibit the killing of its citizens in other situations - such as euthanasia and (more relevant) infanticide, for example.

BQ2: Should blood and organ donation be made mandatory in order to save lives? Why or why not?

No - because in the case of someone who refuses to donate organs, that someone is not actively and intentionally ending the life of another human being. Although it is true that refusing to donate one's organs upon death is stingily refusing to aid another human being who is still alive and in danger of death, it is not the same as intentionally taking another human being's life.

It's still a little life no matter what way you look at it, it's either already got a beating heart (12 weeks) or will grow into a living human, and if they don't want a child they should of been careful enough not to get pregnant in the first place and there's always plenty of people who can't have children looking to adopt.

BQ1: Healthcare should be suggested by the professionals and decided on by the individual no one else.

BQ2: It's a good idea, thousands of people die every year because they couldn't get organs they needed, and if it ever was made mandatory people would obviously have the right to opt out of it, just a we have the right to opt in now.

What I have found is people want the government to help them when they want or need it but then want the government to stay out of it, if when they don't

First abortion is murder it kills a life. The laws of the land state if a person harms the unborn whether by murder , assault,or even accident whatever they are held liable for that Unborn life and yet this SAME Justice system then says it is OK for millions of those SAME unborn babies to be knowingly and willfully killed or we could simply say PREMeditated murder.....but that is OK cause the woman made the decision.?

She also made the decision to cross the street or drive the car or whatever, yet someone else is held accountable if that same unborn is harmed ?

WE recently saw the Obama-Care bill get pushed down the throats of millions of Americans the government demanding we abide in the Governments agenda and worse OUR Tax Money to pay for a woman's contraceptives and or abortions....yet prostitution is illegal ? Why then should I pay for some women to have sex on my dime or pay to have a human life killed, I am not in the Mob.......

What it is called is a failed system that is all about politicians making money and controlling peoples lives or socialism/communism at its best !!!

no.

BQ1: I do not like it.

BQ2: No. It is a form of slavery; telling anyone what to do with his/her own body is slavery.

No I don't.

Someone has to.

Yes. Because it won't happen otherwise.
