Do pro-choice people say?

Pro-choice has personal freedom to make decisions about ones own body.

Technically, if you make the choice not to abort a baby - you've still made a choice. Under who's authority does the government stand to make personal decisions about others?

Because technology will advance to where abortion will be unnecessary and viewed as barbaric just like slavery and racism is viewed today.

Future Americans will look back, say "they aborted how many people?" and be appalled just like how today we are appalled with racism and slavery

Same could be said about taking the life of their baby.

Wat? There are a lot of assumptions going on here.

You keep using the word 'unnecessary'; I have to ask - why do you think people choose to have abortions? Because technology can't do something?

Killing an unborn child is in the Constitution? I'm going to have to re-read it, missed that amendment.

Go back and read the question and how it pertains to that response.

Try to keep up.

because they dont want the baby. In the future, if someone doesnt want the baby, they can either kill it (which will be viewed as barbaric) or they can transfer the baby to an artificial uterus (as technology advances) and let someone else raise the baby

So you view amputations 100 years ago as unnecessary and barbaric or was that the best/only choice at the time?

I was using it as an example of how medicine has advanced.

Shall I use electroshock therapy as a better example as something now viewed as barbaric?

Not today. I'll work on it.

I spent a lot of time at the First Baptist Church in Bolivar, ever go to that po-dunk town? Born at Jackson Memorial.

The problem I see is that if one believes that an unborn baby is just that, an actual baby in the process of maturing, it's really no great leap whatsoever to think that baby has every bit as much right to protection as one that is being held in it's mother's arms after birth. From this point of view the "decision" to kill one is little different than deciding to kill the other. This rather muddles the "government intervention" criticism since, at least by those that subscribe to the above definition of a living baby, it's no more of an intervention than legally preventing a mother from dumping her newborn in the trash because she felt it was her right to do so.

BUT

Lots of people do not subscribe to the above definition of what constitutes an actual "baby" and that's when things get hairy. I suppose what the OP is trying to get at is you don't (or shouldn't) get to cherry pick. For instance, if one is "pro-choice" it could look a little funny if you find yourself joyfully posting sonograms images of your "baby" on Facebook.

Frankly, I don't know how this one will ever get decided to everyone's satisfaction.

I thought you would be in Fort Myers, Fl. on the beach & enjoying the sun? So, why you hanging out at the First Baptist Church in Bolivar of all places? Got relatives there? I figured you would vaporize if you were that close to a church....a baptist church at that too.

If you want but it wouldn't make much sense

Abortion is simply an option that should be on the table if a woman chooses. Removing the option affects lots of people that get ignored in the debate because extreme examples take over
