Behind the Shifting Poll Numbers on Abortion

Mer of CA:
First of all, abortions actually CAUSE ectopic pregnancies to occur more often, by scarring the uterine wall. Often such scarring covers the opening into the womb from the fallopian tube, thus preventing the fertilized ovum/conceptus from entering the uterus to implant correctly in the uterine wall.
Second, removing an ectopic pregnancy is not a true abortion, because the intent is not to kill the child, but to save the mother. Current technology cannot support such a young child, so his/her death is an unfortunate result of the life-saving surgery needed to prevent his/her mother's fallopian tube from rupturing.
Finally, the abortion that actually prevents a woman from dying due to pregnancy complications is a rare abortion indeed. Planned Parenthood's own research arm, the Guttmacher Institute, admits that most abortions are committed for social concerns (motherhood vs college/career, does not desire more children, etc.), not medical reasons (fetal anomaly, mother's life at risk).

RCharles your basic attempts with Blah Blah Blah does nothing but show you have no facts or anything else that is worth reading.
Your elementary bully attempts don't hold any ground with the readers. Deflection does not hold any ground either.
I understand you have no defense for supporting the slaughter of the least of our people. Therefore you resort to personal and relgion attacks to justify. It does not hold any ground.
Either state facts to answer these questions with sources or be ignored.
Why do you support the horrific slaughter of the unborn children?
Why do you think the strong have the right to murder the weak?
Explain how the abortion slaughter is love for the unborn child?
Why do you think some human life is more important than other human life?
Why don't you respect and protect human life?
Why do you feel that an unborn baby with unique human DNA is not important and can be killed for any reason?
My guess is that your replies will dodge all these questions or that you have no answer for these questions and can not answer.
Love Life

ComPassion the automaton - can't discuss, can't think independently, can't get past deep religious superstitions. Lots of meaningless data but no insight.
ComPassion, anyone can copy and paste - it is a brainless escape from open discussion and intelligent consideration of the facts.
You MUST study the facts in order to communicate; study the facts before commenting.

Abortion is destruction of human life.
- Abortion destroys 3200 unborn babies a day in America.
- Abortion destroys 1.2 Million unborn babies a year in America.
- Abortion has destroyed more than 45 Million unborn babies in 36 years in America.

Abortion is destruction of human life: wholesale and mass destruction of human life.
--------------------
Abortion in America has killed more human life than Hitler and at a more rapid rate than Hitler killed. What Hitler did was a holocaust. Abortion is a holocaust.
--------------------
To have a Choice:
1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).
Source: http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html
We should encourage responsibility. 93% of the time the mother and father made a choice to take a risk that might turn out to be inconvenient or a social reason. They need to be responsible for the life they started. We are not animals and we can make decisions (choice).
It's all about stepping up to the resposibility of the choice that was made 93% of the time.
93% of the time this can not be justified as a medical reason:
- 3200 Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices
- 1.2 Million Uborn American Babies slaughtered a day because of bad choices
- More than 45 Million Unborn American Babies slaughtered in 36 years
We need to do more for the 7%. We need to work hard to protect the mother and the child during this 7%.
The unborn baby does not have a choice if abortion is the choice.
Make Responsible Choices.
When you make a decision to have sex then be responsible.
Be Responsible.
Love Life.
Respect Life
Protect Life.
Love the Mother and the Child.

It is well understood that abortion is anti-Catholic and anti-Christian.
So when Rosa DeLauro, Nancy Pelosi, VP Biden, and others support Abortion they are being Anti-Catholic centered and Anti-Chritian Centered. The are standing against God when they support killing a Human Life.
God made it clear. Do not Kill. Jesus made it clear. Love God and your Neighbor.
What you do to the least of God's people you do to God.
LOVE the Mother and Child.
Seek, Speak, Share, and Defend the Truth.

Suction Abortion is where they suck the unborn baby out of the mothers womb with a vacuum. The suction rips the baby into pieces.
Dismemberment Abortion is where they take forcepts to dismember the babies parts and pull them out of the mother womb. They rip the legs, arms, and body apart to extract the unborn baby. Then they crush the head to remove it.
Partial Birth Abortion is where they deliver everything but the head of the baby. They then stick a pair of scissors into the back of the neck of the unborn baby to seperate it's spine. Then they use the vacuum to suck the babies brain out.
Which of the above is a choice for the unborn baby?
LOVE the Mother and Child.
Seek the Truth.
Speak the Truth.
Share the Truth.
Protect the Truth.
Love Life..

Did you know, in just two years there are more unborn American babies (more than 2.4 Million) that die from abortion than all the Americans that have died from all our wars (less than 1.4 Million).
Honor and Respect to our soldiers who have fought for our freedom:
http://www.militaryfactory.com/american_war_deaths.asp
**************************************************************
At more than 1.2 Million American abortions a year this is the greatest killer of Americans each year. Deaths from abortion is greater than all other deaths in America (reference Center for Desease Control and Prevention counts). Simply put more Americans die each year from Abortion than from Aids, Heart Disease, Cancer, Accidents, and all other causes of death.
At more than 45 Million American abortions in 36 years since 1973 this is by far the greatest destroyer of peace and life in America.
**********************************************************
Did you know the #1 cause of death in America is Abortion. Americans killing our own unborn children.
Deaths by Abortion each year > 1,200,000
Deaths by the other leading causes each year:
Heart disease: 631,636
Cancer: 559,888
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 137,119
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 124,583
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 121,599
Diabetes: 72,449
Alzheimer's disease: 72,432
Influenza and Pneumonia: 56,326
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 45,344
Septicemia: 34,234
Source: Center for Disease Control and Prevention
We should not Kill.
***********************************************************
Why don't most people know the abortion statistics?
An unborn child is the least of our people. They are weak, poor, innocent, defenseless, and fragile. They are completely dependent upon our love and mercy. They are the least of our people in American. They are the poorest, weakest, most dependent, and by far the least of our people.
Why would we allow this slaughter of the least of our people to continue?
**************************************************************
Do you love people more than things?
When we make decisions, here are some important quesitons to ask:
Is this action equal love for all people involved?
Is this action the greatest love for the people involved?
Is this action love for people before things?
Respect Life.
Protect Life.
Give Equal Love.
Love people before things.
LOVE.
Love Life.
Seek the Truth. Know the Truth. Speak the Truth. Share the Truth. Defend the Truth.

Be responsible for the life that you start. Don't start a life that you must kill.
We are not animals that can not make decisions. We are not animals that can not control our sex drive. We are humans that can make good choices.
We can not act like that all of the sudden people are pregnant. There are several decisions made before getting pregnant.
No one's self desires or wants are more important than another persons life. If you start a life then be responsible.
There are many more solutions and choices that are better than Killing an unborn child. Be strong, brave, and nobel and make decisions that protect life.
Love the Mother and the Child. Both lives are equally important.
Love Life.

Abortion is not health care. It is a slaughter of 3200 unborn babies a DAY, 96,000 a MONTH, 1.2 Million a year, and more than 45 Million in 36 years in America.
This is a slaughter of the least of our people (poorest, weakest, most dependant, and least of our people).
Say NO to the free slaughter without a chance to respect and protect the lives of both the mother and the child.
Respect Life.
Protect Life.
Protect Love.
