I don't think it should be penalized by law for 40 weeks.
Yes.
There is no garentee associated with them. Responsibility includes being ready to take care of a child if you accidentally have one. Abortions should not be used as birth control.

And the fact that the Republican party panders to these ing extremists disgusts me...just not enough to vote for Obama.
Why not?
If you drink and drive and get caught, are you not penalized by law?
Always accept the results of your actions.
Well, if your actions make abortion illegal are you going to take the responsibility for raising all those babies to competent adulthood?
Bingo. My daughter was a part of that very small percentage of birth control babies so my then girlfriend (now wife) and I both looked at each other took a deep breath and started talking. One of the first things that we got out of the way was that she wasn't being aborted (we had known each other off and on for a about 12 years but had only started dating 3 months prior). Both of us are vehemently pro-choice, OUR choice is no abortions. You can choose whatever you want, but it's your CHOICE! GTF outta here with trying to dictate someone elses choice.
I take it nothing's been said in here that hasn't already been said in the previous ST Political Forum abortion debates?
Those are the exceptions we were actually discussing, unless this got derailed at some point. Apparently there's some people that doesn't agree with such exceptions.
Looks like nothing new yet.
Drinking and driving is illegal. Unprotected sex is not.
Do you think it should be, libertarian?
yet again. you work damn hard to ensure your daughter can think for herself and make her own decisions. no one should be able to take that away.
The difference between libertarians and anarchists is that the libertarian takes responsibility for they actions. Abortion beyond something like the morning after pill should be illegal.

Why is a middle aged single man with no children so determined to lay claim to women's right to choose?
Because that will totally stop women from having them.
Who has no children?
my mistake.
Any daughters?
Two. Both in their 20's now.
"Taking responsibility" in this case is subjective.
What would you do if one chose to get a legal abortion because she felt that was the right thing for her in her situation?
I will agree to that, but I disagree that abortion is the responsible way to followup the irresponsibility of creating life when you aren't ready for such a burden.
These people who have protected sex, and aren't ready to take care of a child should the protection not work, may as well play Russian Roulette. At least they would be accidentally killing themselves instead of the innocent.
I would be very surprised. Surprised to the point I think it's a laughable possibility. Not only were they raised better than that, but they have full family support if needed, and have better moral values than someone who would abort.
Kids can always surprise you. They aren't clones of you and at some point you lose the right to push your values on them.
It's a hypothetical. What if it was YOUR daughter?
