Hmm. I think some of my more conservative family and friends will be surprised to learn that they're abortionists.

I swear to god, I'll pistol whip the next man who says shenanigans!

So... what's the name of that restaurant you like, with all the goofy sh*t on the walls, and the mozzarella sticks?

This stuff is so *basic* in other industrialized countries. Why are we still having trouble with it? Why must I be ever vigilant against my own government cajoling me into barefoot-and-pregnant status?

Edit:
Besides, that's medically inaccurate anyway. When taken correctly the pill prevents ovulation, which comes before both conception and implantation. Some people could stand to take a remedial biology class.

Yeah, but under the right circumstances the pill can also prevent a 1-week-old embryo from implanting (if I'm getting the terminology correct). If you believe that life begins at conception it's not too much of a stretch to call that abortion.

Ok I like what he is trying to do in spirit but the Pill, IUD's (Had no idea what the hell they where but after reading about it.. eww) and the Morning after I have no issues with. But once the egg and sperm get together and implant you shouldn't kill it. There are better things to do with the baby than kill the poor thing.

Or this:

Since when is law dictated by scientific fact?

Yea, they're already a pain in the ass.

Not necessarily.

I have also wondered why the sort of homocidal vitriol anti-abortionists reserve for gynocologists don't also extend to fertility clinics -- where literally dozens of viable blastocysts are disposed of every time a routine procedure is attempted. If the propaganda of anti-abortionists is to be believed, the most charitable thing you could say about in-vitro clinics is that they are wholesale abortionists. And though I wouldn't put it past the twisted logic of some, I have yet to see them truck bombing one.

And that's the logic you get from politicians (or just individuals) that are strongly anti-abortion yet get one themselves, or for their wife, or for their daughter. They believe that THEIR situation was an honest mistake. THEY are responsible people who had one little accident and why should their life be over because of it? THEY aren't the slack-jawed sluts who can't be bothered to use birth control and use abortions as a reset button. THEIR situation is different and extra-ordinary.

I don't know how I feel about abortion, personally. I like the idea of giving people choice but I don't like the idea of killing babies and I have absolutely no idea at what point a fetus turns from a health concern a woman has about her own body to a separate organism with rights. I'm a male and thankfully I'll never need to decide whether or not to get an abortion (though I may be involved in such a decision at some point, I'll admit). So since I'm a male, since this argument does not effect me directly, and since I don't really know where I stand on it, I'm not prepared to make that call for someone else. I don't think the government should make it for them either.

No one does. That's why the debate continues, because it's focused on the wrong thing. The real issue is the definition of life, of what constitutes a living person (presumably with rights). Solve that, and you solve abortion. Otherwise, we end up with silly juxtapositions like people charged with two counts of murder when they kill a pregnant woman, but yet the woman could go get an abortion and not be charged at all.

You're right, it's clearly that those unsuccessful zygotes didn't make the effort to get implanted, so it's suicide on their part. Murder on mom's part for not loving Jesus enough? Dad's fault for not making mom scream, "Oh God!" enough times?

Objection! There are some aborted embryos that may not have not implanted due to natural causes, so we can't say that the woman necessarily terminated an otherwise viable pregnancy. What we're talking about is someone eliminating all chance of an embryo implanting, not necessarily terminating a fetus.
