		<description><![CDATA[But if a woman decides not to have an abortion - and the child wasn&#039;t planned - I guess the main still has to support the child for the next 20+ years? Or not? And you do know fathers have feelings as well, no? And might be emotionally involved in planning for a child and have an interest, and therefore at least merit &quot;an opinion&quot;?? Or is it only ever women&#039;s interests and feelings that count for anything?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My big problem is with 99.99% of abortions that are carried out as a means of birth control.

You are very typical of todays &quot;not my responsibility&quot; culture.  You know, let&#039;s just ignore the almost 100% majority and argue over the statistically obsolete.   Perhaps if woman WOULD masturbate, THEY wouldn&#039;t be having irresponsible sex.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What if someone is raped and gets pregnant? That is not avoidable. Why shouldn&#039;t she rid herself of the disgusting spawn brought on by a monster? I&#039;m going to bet everything that Geddy is a male and since he can&#039;t/will never have a child, he has no right telling me what to do with my body. I think there should be a law preventing men from masturbating. Ever. That is murder too. All those potential babies. Murderers! Just think what the world would be like if a man could never jerk off. Maybe they&#039;d all kill themselves and the world would be a quieter, more peaceful place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a male can carry, birth and feed a child, only then can a male even have an opinion as to what should be done regarding contraception and abortion.  

When a male goes through, every month for over half of their life, the pain, discomfort and emotional upheaval caused by the reproductive cycle, only then can a male even begin to have an opinion on women&#039;s health care. 

Until such a time, men everywhere need to keep their thoughts about my reproductive organs to themselves.  

And that about sums it up.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You&#039;re right, I do value a person more than a potential person, because a real person with friends and loves and goals and experiences is more important and more valuable than some potential that may or may not be realized.  

I know quite a bit about fetal development.  A baby is not a fetus -- a fetus is a fetus.  When a fetus is born it becomes a person, not before.  Life is not sacred, it&#039;s all over the place, our planet is covered with it, there&#039;s nothing special about it, including human life.

Perhaps if you paid attention to facts instead of emotional propagandizing that has no relation to facts you&#039;d see the truth of the matter.]]></description>

Where are the concerns of the &quot;pro-lifers&quot; for this?

Oh that&#039;s right. That would cost money.

		<description><![CDATA[Never mind religion, what about life? It is murder after all.

A murder that your own bible advocates methods of abortifacents to insure.  
Why is it OK for Cons to use a &quot;stand your ground&quot; and get away with murder?
 
Did you know that pregnancy is avoidable? 

And yet you folks continue to rail against birth control and gay sex. Both of which go a long way to preventing abortions.
 
What happened to taking responsibility for your actions?

You mean like these characters:

Why not choose adoption, instead of murder?

That&#039;s a very good question, how many have you adopted?
