Abortion

I agree people probably don't want one mistake ruining their lives, but it still can. Killing a child that could row u to cure cancer. The kid might be a ditch digger so what? he lives that's the important thing."- So the kids a terrible life because he grew up in orphanages. He is unwanted and probably jobless or has a terrible job and wishes he wasn't born? I mean what you are saying is all hypothetical but it is more likely that this child will grow up in orphanages than be adopted. If the child is allowed to be born it is likely that the mother and the child end up more unhappy than they would have been had the baby been aborted. "Ok here is why we don't kill the brain dead people, because somebody likes that person enough keep him alive. It makes me ad to see no one care for the defenseless baby."- Um my point was that we often kill vegetables. If the family gives consent to pull the plug on the patient because they will never wake up, it is legal to let them die since their future would be dark. That is why we should allow babies to be aborted. The baby being born would likely cause the mother and child's futures to be darker than if the baby was aborted. Why should anyone care about the fetus? It hasn't developed a personality or friends or family yet. For all intents and purposes it is just a bunch of cells. The fetus has not done anything warranting that people should care about it. I don't care about you because you are alive. I care about someone because that person has become a person with friends and family and emotions which will all be hurt if I kill you. The fetus has not. "Ok, 9 months of wasted life what a load of nonsense. If she is anything like someone with a heart, she would think " I get to let a child live, not be killed"- Do you realize how far someone can come in their lives in nine months? They could be offered the job they've been dreaming of during that time. They could be trying to find love or get married. Not to mention the embarrassment and ridicule unmarried young mothers get. When a baby you do not want is growing inside you and interfering with things you have always wanted, you aren't going to think "I'm going to let a child live." You are going to be thinking how crappy yours and the child's lives are going to be and how much you with you could get rid of it. As for your link here is a direct quote from it: "But Cancer Research UK questioned the accuracy of the figures and said women should not be unduly worried. Dr Kat Arney, the charity's science information manager, said: ‘This is a very small study of only 300 women, so there are likely to be statistical errors in a sample of this size. ‘Much larger studies involving tens of thousands of women have shown no significant links.'" It is definitely not conclusive by any means that the medical community believes this to be true. Also the article mentions that smoking causes breast cancer but that is still legal isn't it? Are we going to outlaw everything that may cause cancer? If the woman wants to risk breast cancer it is her decision, not the federal government's. "No we shouldn't outlaw voting, because its against our constitution, and it is reasonable to say that abortion is against it too. 8th amendment."- Um the 8th amendment is about excessive bails and fines....that has nothing to do with voting. As for abortion being unconstitutional, the Supreme Court would beg to differ. The famous case of Roe vs Wade made that clear. Under the constitution all powers not delegated to the federal governments are left to the states. The constitution does not give Congress the right to outlaw medical procedures so it cannot be federally outlawed. As the Supreme Court ruled in this case, the right to abort a pregnancy falls under the right to privacy protected by the 14th amendment. http://www.oyez.org...# I have not even brought up the fact that you are denying women a right to decide what can and cannot be done with their bodies.
