serious question. think about it. If we shut down plan parenthood, and other abortion centers, then kids/teens will perform self abortions, and rich people will fly to other nations to get abortions. Pro-life will not stop sex....I am just wondering if pro-life even has any substance. I will admit to being pro-choice but that is another discussion.
in a wrap: will pro-choice affect if abortions happen, EXCEPT to people who can not afford one? Or are to scared to perform their own?
I am open minded, keep it nice :)|||victims of incest and rape will suffer as will women dying of terminal illnesses who cannot carry a baby to full term. also, which republican pro-lifer is going to adopt all the crack babies and retards born in this country to impoverished teenage girls who have no resources thanks to budget cuts to improve their lives? it%26#039;s absurd, all of it.|||More child abuse/ neglect.|||Yes. More women would die during abortions... Abortions would still be performed though...
Not very pro-life, huh?|||..... making murder illegal hasn%26#039;t stopped it, would you recommend legalizing that as well?|||But if the poor and young perform self-abortions, many of them will die, thus reducing the population of people who receive government handouts. The rich, who will travel overseas for abortions, will not die in any significant numbers; thus, the proportion of rich people in the country will increase.
We Republicans have always favored a strong economy. That%26#039;s part of why we oppose legal abortion. It%26#039;s simple economics: making abortion illegal means more rich people.|||Yes...if pro life stops selective abortions (war).|||In the grand scheme of things, it will have little effect. Although I have my own opinions on the matter, I hate how it has been made to be such an important factor in the political arena. There are much more important matters at hand that should be discussed but are ignored.|||When you vote Pro-Life, you%26#039;re really voting for abortions for the rich only. Pre Roe v. Wade, authorities never pulled dead rich women from back allies. If illegal, it%26#039;s only the poor that suffer.|||Sure- WE WOULDN%26#039;T DECLARE WAR ON AN INNOCENT COUNTRY.|||I agree with you 100%. Outlawing abortions will only force women to do them illegally. Making them illegal will result in women shoving coat hangers into their uterus trying to scrape the fetus out, or going to a back alley abortionist and contracting HIV or Hepatitis. It will change, but for the worse. Maybe if people started focusing on prevention. My grandmother always used to say %26quot;an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure%26quot;|||The intriguing thing about your answer is that you hint at the problem but don%26#039;t fully address it. When abortion is taken away, abortions will still occur, just under the radar. This was the case before it was made legal to have abortions performed in this country. Back alley abortions led to infection and death in many a woman, and the idea of using a clothes hanger was not beyond many of them. People struggle in life, and many just can%26#039;t see bringing a baby into theirs. What happens when these people get pregnant and cannot legally abort it? If even one decides to do this the dangerous way, it%26#039;s a major detriment to a pro-life society.|||No, it still wouldn%26#039;t make the fundies happy...they think you should just live Christian lives and anyone who doesn%26#039;t is going to hell and deserves to be defected on...that%26#039;s the real issue, not the sex part but that you aren%26#039;t living the life a righteous white person.
A pro life nation would be one step closer to Orwell.|||You can%26#039;t be Pro-Life and still have Capital Punishments still go on.
If you want to be pro-life, that means you have to abolish the death penalty as well.
Unless all these White Red Necks are willing to adopt all those poor black and hispanic babies, they should butt out.
Those poor kids suffer enough already from their dumbass parents.|||People may really think hard about abstinence, protection and birth control if they no longer have an easy way out. This of course will lead to reduced STDs.
Planned Parenthood makes lots and lots of money off testing and treating SDs and abortions. Are you aware they were handing out millions of faulty condoms, a great product for keeping the business rolling in.
What is more important is people will actually have to take responsibility for their actions. What a concept!
|||Yes. It will open the door for more legislation into U.S. citizens personal and private lives.|||How do you plan to look after all of these unwanted children , I have seen many of those in my life |||First of all, there would be a lot less unwanted pregnancies without abortion to fall back on. Second of all, maybe people would carry the pregnancy through and give the child up for adoption for the many people in this country who cannot conceive. That%26#039;s how the country would change. If women don%26#039;t want to die from %26quot;back alley%26quot; or coat hanger self abortions, I have a suggestion. Don%26#039;t do that to yourself. |||I was shocked to learn just a few years ago that abortion is illegal in most of the civilized industrial world - like Europe and Japan.
Yeah.
Europe.
That the Democrats and liberals are always pointing to as the example.
The left-leaning media here will never tell you that.
My European friends ran down what hoops women have to go through and it ain%26#039;t easy.
No they don%26#039;t use coat hanger. Where do they fly? They don%26#039;t.
There must be doctors or nurse practitioners who do it but I have no idea.
They haven%26#039;t had the huge political battle that we have had.
Their family and social structure is different so that may make a difference.
It is worth thinking about though.
It made me look at this in a new way.
The most dangerous thing is what you THINK you know.
Keep your mind open.|||Yes it would change a lot of things that people do not realize.
One is stem cell research since all embryos would be protected as babies. Once an embryo becomes a baby under the Constitution none of that research can be done.
It would also fracture the separation of Church and State by substituting and imposing the religious beliefs of one group of citizens on the rights and religious freedom of those who do not share that belief.
It would make it possible to haul Doctors into Court on Criminal charges based on what may have been a spontaneous abortion. Which would drive insurance further through the roof. Trials are expensive and wasteful no matter what the final verdict.
Abortion is a dangerous procedure when done by a non professional. Originally that was the reason for making it illegal in the 1890%26#039;s Having lived before Roe V Wade I do not think that women especially realize what a big difference it makes.
There is no guarantee the getting an abortion outside the US would be protect the woman from legal consequences. Who knows.
If you want to get a good feel for what those days were like. Read the first mystery that Micheal Crichton wrote Called a Case of Need.
There would be some impact on the economy who knows how much.
While special needs children are very special indeed they are a very expensive proposition to educate and care for since they may outlive their parents and need adult supersion and care alway.
It would probably put an end to fertility drugs since they can cause multiple births and sometimes some of the embros are removed.
This is a short list of fairly obvious unintended consequences.
Note: One person noted that abortion is not legal in Europe this is false. In some countries it is legal on demand and the countries there are so small that it may be no more than 2 hours to a country that does perform abortions on demand.
I think the person who made the statement may want to check out the Countries where abortion is legal and under what circumstances on any world chart.
