Do you believe abortion should be outlawed nationally?

[Skyros]

I do. When God said “Thou shalt not kill” He didn’t mean killing just adults, it covers children too, even the unborn.

[Kori1236]

Nope, given how overwhelmed the foster system is, how many kids age out of the system. How many children are up for adoption with no homes to go to. Why would adding more kids into that be better. Imagine being a kid knowing your parents didn’t want you but were forced to have you. Imagine being a child and having a child because you couldn’t have an abortion. Rape happens, accidents happen, sometimes a wanted pregnancy has to be aborted for medical reasons. And banning abortion or outlawing it entirely will no stop abortion. All it will do is stop access to safe abortion. So many women would and probably will die because they can’t access a safe abortion what about their lives aren’t they important. If we’re honest this leaving abortion up to the states will have the worst effect on already poor and poverty stricken people because they can’t afford to travel to where it’s legal; thus bringing another child into the world where it will struggle and suffer; what of that life? Knowing that they are the reason the family struggles more than it had before. Knowing it wasn’t wanted.

Do you have an argument for your position that isn't based on your religion?

You don't live in a theocracy, if you can't justify a law without appealing to a god/holy book then you haven't a leg to stand on.

[Skyros]

Spoken like a true atheist or whatever you want to call it. This country was founded on God. Hell, the founding fathers went to church together every Sunday. The Bible was a requirement in schools. So don’t give me this shit about not appealing to “a god” when that’s all this country was built on. In regard to your last statement, I have every leg to stand on. If I were you I’d get off my knees and stand for what’s right.

[CountessSarah]

If you lived in a country founded on a god, you would not like the country you lived in.
Careful what you wish for.

Not really, but at at this point I really couldn't care less. Until society starts giving a fuck about men's right to personal autonomy, I just can't find it in my heart to give a fuck about women's anymore.

And let's be clear here, the issue of abortion has nothing to do with bodily autonomy and everything to do with personal autonomy. The "bodily autonomy" argument feminists use is nothing more than a dishonest excuse to give women choice, and men none.

[Stoner710]

I think it should be outlawed nationally but that’s not going to happen. The federal government has no right to pass a law that would outlaw abortion nor do they have the power to make abortion legal throughout the land it’s unconstitutional for congress to act in that manner either way.

[MzAsh]

No. It’s a disrespect to the woman’s biological authority.

[StevieNix]

No, because it will just mean more chaos around the country. Riots, killing, burning, etc.

[joeldalton]

No, it’s a state issue. Not the federal government. That was the point of overturning RvW

[888theGreat]

I do and capital punishment. Both are murder. Also assisted suicide is murder.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes I do.

[SmokinAces2000]
