Slavery was once legal. The Roe vs. Wade decision of Jan. 22, 1973, made abortion legal without restriction during the first trimester.
Legal doesn't mean moral. Both are shameful crimes against humanity.
Science confirms that a baby's life begins at conception. How can anyone who claims to support "the common good" advocate and permit killing innocent pre-born babies?
The heinous crime of abortion has been camouflaged by euphemisms such as "choice" and "reproductive rights." Such deceptive abuse of our language doesn't change the reality that grisly surgical procedures have denied between 55 and 65 million unborn babies their God-given right to life, a right enshrined in our Bill of Rights.
Many more millions have been killed by chemical abortions, including Ru-486 and the morning-after pill. Will America ever regain her morality and integrity?
The murder of innocent babies will be increased by a bill now in Congress known as the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which is scheduled for vote on Jan. 21. If passed, Mr. Obama promised to sign this bill as his first official act as president, and present it on Jan. 22.
FOCA gives total control of abortion to the federal government under all conditions for the full nine months of pregnancy. It voids all of the federal and state restrictions and protections that have been adopted since Roe , including conscience laws currently protecting institutions and health workers.
Abortions will be paid for by you, the taxpayer. That's in addition to the many millions of taxpayers' dollars already given to Planned Parenthood each year.
I urge all citizens of the CSRA to promptly contact your representative and senator through the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask their help in defeating FOCA.

palomino, this law entitles abortions of human beings that can survive post-abortion. Maybe we should allow retroactive abortion. Once fertilization occurs, that fetus will become a human being, not a dog or a monkey. It is human life. It's not long before it has hands, a heartbeat and a brain. I think Divine justice should include every pro-abortion "person" feeling every bit of pain from every child murdered by abortion, magnified 100 times, for the rest of their lives. Every abortionist, every murdering mother, every worthless father who agrees to the murder should and will suffer the wrath of God if unrepentant. Even the woman represented in Roe v. Wade has repented and changed her view. She will be forgiven. Those who continue their insane views and actions may not.
I have to accept the current state of things because the US has a Constitution and a Supreme Court that has decided that a fertilized egg is not human. Until we can amend the Constitution, or until science can prove unarguably that life begins at conception, all of those who uphold the sanctity of life will be forced to see the continued decimation of generations of Americans and the loss of millions of souls.
pal0mino9, you can't survive without a source of sustenance either. Does that make you eligible to be aborted? I'm not saying you're a moron, but you seem to think just like one. Are you gay?
If you think our country is in financial despair now? Can you even begin to imagine where it would be if abortion had always been illegal? Who would be taking care of hundreds of millions of parentless children. You can not mandate that anyone can be forced to raise a child they don't want. America will be like those third world countries with children homeless children living on the street with no food, no medicine. At this time in our history our country is in pitiful shape & you would have us add hunreds of millions of homeless babies? Right or wrong abortion is a neccessary evil.
ahh, if the topic of aborrtion was a race horse it would have a swayed back and an obese jockey to boot...This LTE is just another in a long line of articles written by people who make a great arguement, but as always ignore the facts. Fact 1: A embryo is not a baby. Fact 2: Can anyone definitively explain when life begins, I've heard once it's out the womb, I've heard at conception? Fact 3: Slavery and abortion have nothing to do with each other, nice try though. Fact 4: You can't change anyones opinion on this matter, people on both sides won't backdown.
Abortion or perhaps better referenced as "the wholesale slaughter of innocents" is an abomination...A holocaust of immense proportions is being perpetuated by the intense selfishness of a liberal myself first mentality...justus4 as usual you want to send a false message of your race being persecuted in a much more heinous way than that of babies murdered everyday without pause...Try selling that to someone else..
patriciathomas: You seem to be a bully on this website, but you can't go around selling "wolf tickets" and not get called on it. Why don't you arrange to meet palomino and ask him that questionn to his fact... My bet is he isn't gay, but after meeting you he might switch...Hate to go there, but it's about time you got a taste of your own medicine...
Palomino a human life can't survive the first year out of the womb without everyday care nor is a newborn completely developed-those are absurd arguments. Dang justus you are ignorant if you don't about all the "laws" related to slavery-just look at Virginia. GaCopperhead sounds like your great president for change is genocidal lunatic for killing them babies. Science has proven with impunity that life begins with conception. It is what biology and evolution are all about-reproduction,variation, and then nature or chance selecting. Who knows how many Einstein's or Obama's have been killed by abortion.
unchristian1234: Your comments tell the true story of modern christians...I can call myself POTUS each and everyday 24/7, but it still doesn't make it true...To say on one hand abortion is wholesale murder, but on the other hand say the murder of slaves aren't as bad is a contradiction of epic porportion...Isn't murder murder?
Bizzaro: I believe his point was if it's inside the mother it's her choice, her body. He also said fetus not human life, which there is argueably a difference, that's why this issue is being discussed...IS A FETUS A HUMAN LIFE???? Instead of attacking people need to read and keep the thread honest.
Can someone name a clearly defined point other than conception when a fetus becomes human life? I'll be waiting for a good answer to that one (although I will never get one). As for Justus4.... Just because it was wrong, doesn't mean slavery wasn't legal. Maybe if we just pretend like it never happened, history will change too. Murder of slaves was wrong, just as murder of innocent children is wrong. It just so happens that at a point in history, both were legal. Legal does NOT equal right.
You must be new motorman. Honesty-OMG. ROFLMAO. Too funny. Ad hominems are considered debate around here-get over it. I did. Embryo, fetus, etc are all just embryological names but development biology studies all the life cycle of organisms from birth to death. They have names too but still we are talking about homo homo sapiens-humans. Once the gametes fuse cell division and growth begins-both the fetus and mom contribute to extra-embryonic tissues that support the babe. Some people are born with birth defects lacking organs,etc. are they less human for not being intact. A newborn babe can't see too well and its brain growing and making connections like crazy-does that mean it isn't human because it isn't all functional yet. If so when would a human be complete at puberty. As we age and our bodies fail do we become less human.
a fetus cannot survive without the womb of a woman, if it could, it would be a human life. a woman has the right to do as she will with her own body. get over it, bible thumper. SAID PALAMINO______________________________-wow! according to palamino whenever a person cannot live without the help of others they are no longer human and deserving of life
I suppose those who are dependent on the care of the government should be put to death? It fits palamino's logic.
Scientist are developing artificial wombs will that makes these babies non-humans. I guess old people who can no longer care for themselves are no longer human because they can't survive on their own. So now you won't be human till puberty and then cease becoming human as you age. hee,hee,hee.
If a woman gives birth to a child, and after about a week decides to stop feeding the child.......would she be charged with negligent homicide, or would it just be considered a late term abortion?
DEFINITION>>>>>>>>>>>
LIFE; an organismic state characterized by capacity for metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction
Gee noone we can't reproduce till puberty so we must not be alive or human yet. Huh.
Murder is murder...Your very correct...But in my heart taking a needle filled with acid and shoving it into a newborns skull somehow fills me with horror right down to the depths of my soul...Motorman if you feel it justifies your views towards abortion to call my stance unChristian then by all means do so...It does not matter in the least what you feel about my comment...Do you really believe in your wildest imaginings that I really care? Please try selling it to someone else...As far as I am concerned those babies are paramount...Slavery of a race has been since the beginning of time and will continue until this world is no longer here...Do what you can for those who deal in human trafficking, slavery of women in countries that have little use for women and little girls except for sexual pleasures and do try to reeducate those welfare generations who are slaves to the government...That is doing something worthwhile...Meanwhile try saving a few of the babies...They are worth it just as your mom figured you were worth the trouble of having...Think about that the next time you so freely want a baby slaughtered...
It is interesting how someone can call a person "unchristian" and condone murdering children in the same breath.
You are correct Bizarro. unless they meant cell reproduction. websters is getting slack. they should try to be more specific with their definitions before they disqualify a large chunk of the population from life
Justus4, If "slavery was never legal" but was only "regionally accepted" why must "this nation deal with the lasting effects of racial hatred, institutional discrimination and economical disenfranchisement"? How did the whole country lose "the moral highground"? If no laws were involved, why must "JUSTICE" be used to improve our moral footing? What exactly do you propose?
Motorman5039: yours is a valiant effort to tell the truth , but as you know now, you have entered the land of troglodyte Christianity where
there is ZERO chance for rational discussion. Supporters of a woman's right to choose will be labeled as "murderers," "slaughterers," "anti-God," all the usual conservative Right invective. My advice?: Save your breath. Ever listen to Neal Boortz? I disagree with almost everything that phony "libertarian" (He's conservative 99% of the time) says, except one. He flat out refuses to take calls from "pro-lifers." When one slips through his screener, he abruptly and rudely cuts the caller off, usually after telling the caller he or she is a moron and / or a raving lunatic. This is one online conversation I don't enter on the merits since it's a total waste of time. Women have some vestiges of reproductive freedom left for at least 8 more years, and if FOCA passes, perhaps longer. Yea!
It isn't a relgious right issue but a human rights issue. Abortion could easily qualify as a form of eugenics because it is human intervention artificially altering human heredity by removing variants from a population. There isn't a notion of human intervention to improve (which is a bag of worms anyways) but by artificially removing individuals from a population it will influence human heredity and evolution. Nature can only act on those organisms that survive and reproduce, and abortion artificially removes them from a population. With in vitro fertility embryo legal battles and recognizing death to the unborn when mom is killed it is setting up legal arguments the the SCOTUS will have to revisit this issue to separate it all out. Obviously the courts see frozen embryos as human life.
Government has no right to tell a woman what to do with their body. Pro life and pro choice aren't interested in the women, the babies or their welfare. Each side just wants to win and gloat.
It doesn't stop the govt from telling us all what we can do to our bodies. I can't legally commit suicide.
Stay out of peoples' bodies. The government has zero right to tell anyone they can or can't have a medical procedure. There's reasons to not breech this door, as it allows opening up sterilization programs; State sponsored euthanasia; forced administrating medications. History has proven what short sighted agendas have caused even worse consequences later.
"But in my heart taking a needle filled with acid and shoving it into a newborns skull somehow fills me with horror right down to the depths of my soul..." ----- How about headless babies? That's what Israel is doing now in Gaza with their wanton disregard for life. Are you crying for their lost lives????
Slaves built this country? What a crock of poop.
