what do you think? personally i think abortion in general is wrong, but do you think we should ban partial birth abortion?
Partial birth abortion is one of the most disgusting procedures ever invented. For those that don’t know. The cervix is dialated, and the Dr extracts the baby feet first until only the head remains inside the mother. This is important because otherwise the baby would take a breath and start screaming. At which point it really looks like the murder that it is, so that awfulness is avoid.
Anyway, with the babies head still in the mother. The “Doctor” (yeah right!) inserts a long pointy object (scissors) into the babies neck and jabs up into the brain many times until the baby dies. At that point the corpse’s head is removed from the mother, and the dead baby is thrown away in the medical trash heap.
Ain’t that lovely to think about? Yes there is a rare condition of fetal deformity (I forget the latin name) where the baby’s brain fails to form, and the head grows to an abnormally large size. In this case, I agree that the pregnacy should be terminated because the mother’s life is truly in danger. However, partial birth abortions occur at an alarming rate. Much higher than the occurance of this one condition. Regardless, isn’t there a more respectiful way such deformed children could be euthanized?
Sorry for ranting/babbling…
not at all ranting/babbling, just the truth. partial birth abortion should be made illegal.

Personally, I think Abortion is a states issue. The States should decide to be for or against it. Personally, I’m against it. Roe vs Wade is unconstitutional because it is a law that the Federal Government, under the constitution, should not decide.
Wow Yanny, you took the words write out of a COnservative pundit’s mouth :D
I agree with Yanny… I think i need to go lay down.
Yanny, what category do you score in on a political test?

Political Compass is a pretty good test…

but I don’t believe it’s up to the government to legislate morality.
100% agree, but the way i see it, it’s a question of Life and Death, the governement judge crimes, killing is a crimes. And the number of abortions is very high.
I didn’t comment on partial birth abortions because I don’t know enough about them to make a comment. I’m not defending abortion, like I said I personally wouldn’t want my girlfriend, wife or whatever getting one, but I don’t believe it’s up to the government to legislate morality.
You’re right, it’s not the government’s business to legislate morality to the citizens. However, it is the government’s business to put the protection of it’s citizens as it’s number one priority (contrary to what Mr. Clinton would have you believe :wink:). That includes citizens of ALL ages.
Despite what everyone here thinks, I am straight down the middle on a political test :) I generally shift toward the left on Foreign policy, and toward the right on domestic agenda. I am strongly against religion. The reason I hate President Bush is his foreign policy is completely flawed from my perspective, and he has no domestic agenda.
On the political compass I am just barely (.5 on graph) to the left of the origin, and halfway down to Libertarian.
if i took it i’d probably be pretty far to the right
Mr. Clinton? Is he still the President? Believe me I’m no liberal, in fact I think I’m probably right in the middle when it comes to politics but I think it’s time to stop blasting Clinton he hasn’t been the President for two years now so let’s all get over it. I also have a very deep mistrust of religion when it comes to politics. If I wanted to live in a theocracy I’d move to Iran.
I’ll weigh in against abortions of any kind. I think any parent of decent character is aghast at the Idea of butchering such a treasured and -unlike the parent- innocent soul. I’m not religous either, although since I pay taxes my veiws do slant heavily towards the right- not nazi right- but actually too far right for most people. a man is only worth as much as he or she can work for… I don’t think you have the right to choose. regardless of circumstance, to kill a third and innocent party. when I see things like that on tv … man I can hardly restrain myself. but what can I do? I just hug my son and tell him I love him, cause it’s obvious to me sometimes that not every one does.
I’ll tell you what. When we stop suffering the effects of the Clinton administration, then I’ll stop saying bad things about him. He should be in jail right now.
i don;t really like clinton either, i think he should be in jail as well
I score pretty centrist ussually, sometimes leaning authoritarian (governement can solve many social and economic problems)
Well then I’ll weigh in and say once we stop suffering from that Grant administration I’ll stop blasting HIM!! How about W’s daddy who didn’t finish Saddam when he had the chance and now junior is sending more of our guys in harms way because of it? Or that oatmeal brained Reagan who tripled the national debt? And curse you Jimmy Carter for the whole hostage thing and Millard Filmore you suck too!
Its sad how bad our modern leaders are. We need Ventura in the White House!
“Saddam, give me your weapons or we will whoop your ass”
yeah, but intead of having an election we gotta have ventura take the rock on in a cage match, and the winner’s the prez. (in case of a tie, richard simmons and Mr. T will have a cage match, and the winner of that will face gary coleman to see who will be the prez)
