ABORTION

[username]

if I have a shiny, new iPad and I decide to toss it out my window and ultimately or otherwise get rid of it, that's my choice. If you come and steal my iPad, you're a thief and a criminal, right?

I like that analogy and I just might use it the next time I hear someone ask a question like Pappy's. Tis crude but effective.

Ah, there is the rub; your iPad has no "life", the baby does at the moment of conception as human DNA is present. The "right to choose" was created by Roe v Wade; that right in fact does not exist. Actually the opposite is true; the baby has the right to life.

The 10 Commandments:

Thou shall not kill.

The first law of this country is the Declaration of Independence:

..."We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” ...

Clearly our founders were not addressing abortion, but they drew their inspiration from Gods law.

The 14^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

So before every abortion the mother should be forced to go to court and show cause why she “chooses“ to kill that individual child.

This country needs to find its morality again; killing humans just for birth control is wrong.

You're throwing the bible (first testament) the Declaration of Independence and the 14^th amendment (that refers to persons "born" here) at me? Give me a break. Unless you're a religious follower, the bible is just a bunch of words written by a bunch of men. The 14^th amendment refers to children "born" so you can forget that and the Declaration of Independence refers to life, liberty....for "men". Do you know that abortions weren't illegal when the Declaration was written? It wasn't until the mid 19^th century that anti abortion laws were enacted.

You're wrong. We've made progress from back alley abortions and completely criminalizing them to now where, IMO, we need to take a second look at viability and fetal pain and all that to develop reasonable laws.
And again, the real goal should be preventing these unwanted or "accidental" pregnancies in the first place.
