What do you think about roe v. wade -- state's rights

MerdeCat · #1 (**permalink**) 02-01-2008, 01:30 AM

Some of the Republican candidates want to overturn Roe v. Wade and give the decision to individual states.

I think that's a crazy idea. Abortion being illegal in some states, but not others is silly.

I agree with you. I think that abortion should be legal across the United States as a whole. Not only do I find it morally wrong to ban women from obtaining abortions where they see fit to have one (either in the best interest of themselves or the fetus), I also find it ridiculous that people have a problem with that.

Well, if it were another case law that didn't have a coerced client that later changed her mind it would be one thing, but it isn't.

The fact is, Roe was coerced, plain and simple. She tells all about it in her book. She changed her mind and is the biggest proponent of overturning it. Let some other girl be the scapegoat. She feels too much blood is on her hands for not thinking for herself when she should have.

B kitty, I had no idea she felt that way.

I think we'd have a problem if it were overturned. Too many women would seek abortions at places that might not be good for them. However, I also feel like abortion should not be used as birth control. There should really be a limit on how many a woman can get.

I am probably going to get chewed out on this subject,but i personally think abortion is wrong.If you as a woman decide to go and have unprotective sex and you end up pregnant,and decide to terminate it,shame on you.It is also your partner's fault for not wearing a condom.It is quite a shame that so many unborn children end up aborted.However....if there is something wrong with the unborn fetus and it won't have a chance of survival,then i do agree it would be for the best.I also feel that in cases of incest or rape...then maybe.This is only my opinion...please don't send me any hate emails or responses as you wanted to know what i thought about Roe v.Wade and you got it.It is quite shameful that abortion is allowed in some states and not in others.It should not be allowed in any state.Again my two cents.

Well. the thing is, too many young woman use it as a means of birth control. If you speak to someone that had and abortion before age 25, 9 out of 10 regret to the point of near depression.

The fact is, the law should be universal. I don't support back alley or discount dirty clinic abortions. We should have a society more conducive to prevention and education to reduce the need for abortions, and deal with it later case by case.

I hate to say it, but Roe v. Wade should be overturned. She was used and coerced, and any court of law would overturn anything that is coerced because it is unconstitutional. She changed her mind and has to live with a sense of responsibility that her trial openned the flood gates for women nation wide to have an abortion willy nilly, that wasn't her intent.

I was appalled the other day when I was in Long's Drug Store and a girl walked up tp a clerk in the medicines dept, not pharmacy, and asked for the morning after/plan B pill. The clerk said the pharmacy is closed and she would have to go to another. It is over the counter to over 18's now, how awful is that!? I lobbied, went to Sacramento, I doorknocked heavily for this law not to be passed, but it passed by an overwhelming margin. How sad.

Our young women aren't getting the love, education, and support they need, that is where we are all failures.

Education belongs at home between parents and children.Not just between mothers and daughters but parents and children including sons because it does take two to produce a child.But i do agree with you on young women using it as a sad means of B/C.I still do not agree that abortions should be legal.That is the way i feel.Sorry.

I agree with you, almost completely. This isn't a black and white issue, unfortunately.

I think the first step in the right direction to strengthening our youth to keep from getting pregnant to begin with, is to remove their easy out options, like plan B pills and abortions.

They need to educate and have more respect for themselves on every level.

I really don't think there should be a limit on how many abortions one can get. That sounds a bit ridiculous to me. If a woman wants to use it as birth control, let her, I don't understand why 20 abortions is worse than 1.

It is worse because it is abuse of the system. I don't support birth control abortion, but my tax dollars go to free clinics that dispense it as a service. To me, that is 20 more dead babies because of some whores social irresponsibility. Who gets pregnant multiple times and aborts? That is one of the more socially irresponsible things I have ever heard.

Legalizing abortions was NEVER meant to be the total easy out for anyone that wanted to get out of what they should have been responsible to prevent. It was meant to make abortions and DNC procedures medically safe in a universal manner. Not for girls to go about getting drunk and pregnant to solve their new "problem."

You should really read up about Roe v. Wade and its' preceding legal battles before spewing about how it should be a free for all. We invoked 3 strikes law for a reason, the crooks would keep being crooks if there was never a permanent punishment. The same should apply to abortions, 1 screw up is all you get. Obtaining birth control pills is very easy and condoms even easier. Hell, in my state you can get plan B over the counter if you are over 18... There is no need for anyone to have multiple abortions.

I have seen several reasons where one has had the need for multiple abortions.

My step-sister is mentally disabled, and lives with her mother though she is an adult. She was being raped when she went to school, and became pregnant multiple times. There's no way she could have cared for any child, and no way she could have gone through the pregnancy.

What I would find more socially irresponsible is if a "whore" gave birth to all 20 children and couldn't provide for them.
