Why are republicans anti abortion when banning abortion does more harm than good?

I presume they believe that the law could be enforce so there would be a dramatic fall in the number of abortions. We now have an abortion pill which should change the nature of the debate. it is clear laws baning abortion would be no more effective that the ones banning marijuana, but the death rate from illegal abortions will be less.

We have different definitions of what HARM means.

In the USA, we had 1.3 MILLION abortions last year.

To me, the death of 1.3 Million Babies, is much more HARM than the deaths of 68,000 women who died while trying to kill their unborn babies.

1,300,000 babies vs. 68,000 women? Simple math to me.

If we didn't have abortion, then we'd have 1.3 Million more wonderful children in the world, and without abortion, those 68,000 women would not have died if they just did what comes Naturally from having sex.....have the kid.

So, I just showed you an even better option than the one you offer that does LESS HARM....no legal abortion, no illegal abortion and LESS life is lost all the way around.

But, you really aren't worried about saving lives are you? That is not he goal, just like with gun control.

If you were all about saving lives, we have the National Guard march through South Chicago, NYC, LA, Detroit, Atlanta in all those Neighborhoods that MOST of the killing is going on and go door to door collecting Illegal Weapons and Known Criminals.

That's what we'd do if you really cared about ending HARM.

It's not what the left is after, though.

Sure ! Give people an incentive to behave irresponsibly and if they are with child, thats ok they can just abort right ? Any ethical doctor I would think would be completely against that sort of thing if they were serious about their hipocratic oath. That certainly WONT give anyone any incentive to want to go into a profession of that nature, niether will Obama care for that matter. But hey, I guess the ultimate motive of the democratic party is to dictate our every action, and in order to fulufill the needs of the medical community, that may just mean picking your profession for you IF they think you have the aptitude and stomach to be a doctor, even though maybe U dont wanna be a doctor. My point being, every concession democrats want to make for the supporters is simply an effort to obtain the vote. Now after they get that vote, just like with same sex marriage, lets see if they will still fulfill their commitment to the loyalist that put them in office. Just a thought. You have to pick the lesser of two evils.

If you believe abortion is a murder, then there is no compromise you can make in your own mind that makes it permissible. People who think it is murder often also believe that it is an especially heinous crime that victimizes a helpless innocent victim.

I am conservative, and mostly vote for Republicans, and I believe that abortion needs to remain legal. I think you'll find that a majority of Republicans think as I do. I don't, however, see what is so hard to understand about the positions of people who want the practice banned. Disagreeing with someone doesn't have to mean that you get to demonize them for their beliefs.

The amusing thing to me is the way they use "Banning guns will not solve anything!" as an argument but don't see the parallel with abortion.

But I agree with others who say that is not true of all Republicans, only the right wing fringe.

information flash, Einstein. not each Republican is against abortion. the final public are, of direction, yet many are actually not. So this question is as stupid as asking, "ought to registered Democrats be banned from possessing weapons?". See, it truly is precisely how idiotic you sound.

You can never ever compromise on murder. I don't care if the world would end from prohibiting abortion; it is still morally necessary. Nothing in the universe can justify murdering an innocent child.

Do you actually believe abortions are safe for the women? Consider this, 'House of Horrors' doctor nears trial

Accused of murdering 7 newborns, tries to avoid execution

Some might find it hard to believe an abortion clinic could be this gruesome: The stench of cat urine greeted those who entered the Women’s Medical Society Clinic in Philadelphia, Pa. Police found blood-stained furniture and blankets, piles of bags of medical waste and other filth. They even discovered rows of jars containing the severed feet of what appeared to be late-term aborted babies, and the corpses of several aborted babies with cuts on the backs of their necks.

What happened in the clinic was nothing short of a nightmare. Gosnell has been jailed without bail for more than a year. He faces 43 criminal counts. In January 2011, he was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of seven newborns. He was also charged with third-degree murder in the 2007 death of a Virginia woman given too much anesthesia by Gosnell’s untrained staff during an abortion. Additional charges include conspiracy, drug delivery resulting in death, infanticide, corruption of minors, evidence tampering, theft by deception, abuse of corpse and corruption.

Gosnell’s wife and eight other employees face hundreds of criminal counts. “Four other employees, Steven Massof, Lynda Williams, Sherry West, and Adrienne Moton masqueraded as physicians even though they had little if any training, and certainly no medical license,” Operation Rescue said. “They frequently conducted illegal abortions, including the grisly procedure Gosnell called ‘snipping’ of newborns’ spinal cords.”

The case began in January 2010, when police raided Gosnell’s clinic, looking for a “pill mill” thought to be the city’s largest illegal supplier of Oxycontin. Once authorities saw the horror inside, they immediately closed the Women’s Medical Society Clinic and a grand jury began investigating. Subsequent clinic inspections revealed massive violations at clinics across Pennsylvania. The case has influenced new legislation and clinic regulation, and prompted stronger enforcement of abortion laws, not only in Pennsylvania, but also in Maryland, Delaware, and other states.

“[I]t was a horrific late-term abortion operation that was conducted with the aid of unlicensed workers who drugged patients into stupors, spread venereal disease by reusing disposable equipment, perforated wombs and bowels, and killed at least two patients,” Operation Rescue said. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell “would deliver late-term, viable babies alive, then murder them by thrusting scissors into the backs of their neck and ‘snipping’ their spinal cords.”

Planned Parenthood Official Endorses Right to Kill Babies Born Alive

Saturday, March 30, 2013

Sadly, you read that headline correctly. From The Weekly Standard:

Florida legislators considering a bill to require abortionists to provide medical care to an infant who survives an abortion were shocked during a committee hearing this week when a Planned Parenthood official endorsed a right to post-birth abortion.

Why is it that you claim that it's only Republicans who oppose abortion? Are you so naive as to believe that NO democrats also oppose abortion? Talk about narrow-minded. Sheesh!

Why are liberals so AGAINST personal responsibility? We need to teach our daughters to NOT give in to guys who are so intent on just using them. We need to teach our sons to respect girls, and then hold those men accountable.
