It is birth control. So is murder. Kill a guy and he won't be havin' no sex, and thus, no babies. Birth control. So is castration, chastity belts, Afghani Taliban sewing rituals, imprisonment, vasectomies, drugs, etc, etc, etc....

Outside of rape and molestation (which don't account for most of the abortions each year) an abortion is simply that, birth control. I didn't want to have a baby, inconvenient time, too young, not enough money, whatever the reason..if it's not because of a traumatic event or medical reasons, an abortion is simply an afterthought to a condom. Period, no other way to put it.

Agreed.

How can you say "No my choice" and right after a comma say "You are choosing"...? Yes, you are CHOOSING to terminate a pregnancy.
Choosing... as in *Choice*. Don't say there is no "my choice" about it when clearly there is.

I don't think it is. I'm not a woman, but I still feel I have the right to do with my body as I please. No one is going to legislate me out of my freedom to tattoo my skin, even if there are 10 million people who think I should be. No one should be dictated by other people as to what can & cannot be done with their own bodies. We don't really own anything in this world
except our bodies. Everything else stays right here when we're dead & gone.

Not really. Crack is still an illegal drug. For everyone. Not just pregnant women.

Yes. She would be.

Because it makes the jury weepy and the tears well up and is much easier to get a conviction, would be my guess.

Cells.
