Incredibly Callous

Bonnie Erbie's blatant disregard for human life is appalling. There are so many (free) support services for people who may be in the position of the family in this article that abortion is completely unnecessary. This author has used a simple economic model to justify taking a human life!Incredible! Have you told your family that when you become a burden on them someday that they can kill you too?

WOW

"It's no tragedy: it's a good decision. The decision benefits society in two ways" When a baby is murdered and a family doesnt have enough resources to support their children... I would say that is a tragedy. I specially like how we value human life in regards to "society" aka money.

This woman should be thankfull that her mother didnt think that aborting her would have been "a good decision", after all the money spend in her could have been spent in toher ways more productive to society than her sole upbringing

Abort Erbe

I wish Erbe had been aborted.

Morals are subjective?

I guess there is no right or wrong eh?? Do what thou will is the whole of the law huh?? I'm sick of Erbe and her ilk. Scum of the earth is what they are.

More than evil

This is not a woman speaking or not even a human. This she devil is straight from hell.

Abortion

Abortion is nothing more than a sacrifice to Satan in the name of self. I pray that the bloody hands of the abortionist and those that support them will rot in HELL!

Think Before You Post

"Hey all you self-righteous, pro-life whack-jobs, how about you go and adopt ALL the mix-raced, disabled, older children in the orphanages instead of criticizing a woman's right to choose?"

Your argument makes no sense as a defense of the moral legitimacy of abortion. I can object to my neighbor beating his wife with having to marry her myself.

"And please don't impose your morals on us. Morals are subjective."

If that's true, isn't your belief (that the imposition of morals is bad) equally subjective and no more deserving of observance?

evil

I am writing a more in depth reply to your latest article on replacing Justice Souter; however, before I got there I couldn't pass by this one because of the gross - very gross opposition to the Truth. Satan is very proud of the work that is being done for him here. I'm sure he's very thrilled at the hardness of all of your hearts. We have turned completely away from God, and I assure you this is no laughing matter. It does not take a person with a doctorate degree to see the direct relation between our prideful and complete rejection of God and the downfall of our society.

Interesting Information

I found lots of interesting information on www.usnews.com. The post was professionally written and I feel like the author has extensive knowledge in the subject. www.usnews.com keep it that way.

Prevention is the key

Why does it always seem like those who have the most kids are the ones that shouldn't? If you are going to have sex and don't want the responsibility of raising a child, then by golly, take proper steps to prevent contraception. Aborting after the fact is just plain irresponsible to say the least.
