That's not the way the Supreme Court saw it ruling laws banning abortion violated an implied right to privacy in the United States Constitution.

It gets down to this, until the court rules otherwise abortion is a legal medical procedure. Get used to it.

A right to privacy, as interpreted by our courts, means that a woman has the right to make choices with her own body, it is her personal property.

Read the case law for yourself.

Yes, there is.
No, you can not.
No, it does not....certainly not....and I never said that it did. No rights are absolute, Pale...but, that does not mean those rights do not exist.

Privacy from Government is covered under the bill of rights. Abortion is not, all powers not given to Congress shall be delegated to the Individual States.

Hope that clarifies.

a fetus is not a live human being. not legally and not medically.
it can't think, feel, or sustain itself.

if people are so concerned about it being alive than fine, I have a compromise- instead of abortion we will just induce labor and have it be born during the first trimester (considering most abortions take place during the first 12 weeks).

why don't we worry about living people?
once people are out of the womb they no longer matter?

A fucking joke. A child is conceived and all of a sudden it's inherent humanity is decided by a panel of judges? Get real. Boo fucking Hoo. So a woman gets pregnant. It's her decision to murder? It's my body... I hear the child saying the same thing. You people don't realize that life is not in your hands... I'm tired of this argument. Oops, I made a mistake while drinking one night... It's my choice to have this child. I will kill it and stand up for my rights of morality.

To her own body yes but that should include something that depends on her for the chance of life that came about by her decision. At inception the egg is the begining of the creation of life(fertilization ie the spark of life if you will). A baby at 15 weeks or hell 6 months can not live on its own outside of its mom that does not make it anyless alive or human. How about the right for women to be responsable for their decisions especialy when it come to the creation of life. If it is rape or the health of the mother is in danger then there is a clear cut undersanding that it is a choice of the woman for something that was out of her control and she will have to live with the results so ya it should be her choice. But just because she decided to have sex and got pregnant and she now does not want it hell no. She should have thought of that before she spread her legs. Abortion for understandable reasons like the date rape pill etc. moraly understandable, abortion as a form of birth control not moraly understandable., How clear cut does it have to get.

Yeah and those laws are more of an issue than abortion is. They need to be abolished. Do you think any of the writers of the constitution would agree with those laws? I doubt it.

What is so fucking great about this life anyways? You assume most unborn children would want to come experience the misery of this world. Not everybody is born with a silver spoon in their mouth like u. Most peoples lives are miserable and you are fighting to extend their misery because you assume everyone is as fortunate as yourself

So bascially your point is that some life is more valuable than other life.!?
Life conceived from a bar mishap has far greater weight than life conceived from rape?
I think you should examine your beliefs. Really what you are saying is that a woman should be held accountable, it has nothing to do with the fetus. It has everything to do with "that bitch should pay" - thanks for making my point that no one should have control over anothers reproductive organs. You my friend, are a woman hater.

I believe, and I have said this so many times, that a woman has the right to choose in the first trimester - only. Also, at six months a child can live outside the womb. Medicine has come quite a long way.

I also don't believe that abortion should be used as a form control. However, a woman has the right to choose - she may not choose wisely, but she has a choice nonetheless.

As far as her thinking before she spreads her legs - perhaps men should also think before tripping and letting their dick fall in. Men bear no responsibility in the consequence - should they so CHOOSE - they have a CHOICE to walk away, why should a woman not be afforded the same opportunity? Oh, because you and yours claim murder? Oh please. Science says differently. If men got pregnant this wouldn't even be an issue.
