I always though that something that is precious or a miracle was something that occured rarely- and close to seven billion isn't exactly a small number. But of course, what you call it makes it sound better, eh? Sort of how Partial-Birth Abortion (which isn't even a medical term) makes people more indignate than Dilation and Extraction.
I concur 100%. Just because my neighbors might upset me and crimp my lifestyle does not give me the right to shoot them.
But as soon as they infringe on your property and rights, you are allowed to remove them or make them cease.
There's a huge difference between your neighbors and a foetus. : P
Believe that if you wish, but I can assure you I did more than 1% of the work when it came to my wife's pregnancy with our son. Yeah, she might have done the physical work, but a lot of pregnancy has to do with emotional and spiritual work, things a pregnant woman generally needs help with due to the various hormonal situations she faces during the pregnancy.
That's funny, I've been plenty of women who managed their pregnancy without a man and/or by themselves. Don't flatter yourselves, men.
I also find it hilarious when men or people who haven't been raped say that it won't really bother the woman that much to have to carry a constant reminder of what happened to them. Oh, my sides hurt from laughing.
There's usually a good reason a woman wants to abort and it's not because they love to kill. Some of you may not think that careers or education or fincial status or being single matters, but it does. The lower the education status and the poorer the mother is, the more likely that precious little miracle is going to turn out the same way, or even grow up to be a criminal (even more so when it's a single parent house).
I find myself wondering where the outrage is for the poor suffering children in Africa, or the little children sold as sex slaves in Asia, or even the uneducated children who live in poverty in well developed countries- but they're no longer "potential precious life" and therefore *yawn!*.
I can look out my bedroom window here and see poor children who live in poverty and will live in poverty for their entire lives and will grow up to have children who will live in poverty and continue the cycle or just become criminals- it's not safe to walk alone in the city even during the day and even in the main parts of town.
If you all want, I could take pictures for you. : ) You can see the dirt houses all jammed together with no windows or doors or electricity or clean water or food inside the house and all the people inside poor and uneducated and illiterate.
All the outrage seems to be saved for the foetus.
