Why not let the STATES decide the issue of ABORTION?
If you support the sanctity of life, if you dont want millions of babies murdered, if you dont want your tax dollars paying for death, you could live in a state that respects human life. if you like the idea of the genocide of millions of innocent babies, you could live in that kind of twisted state.
I think this is a reasonable compromise instead of shoving genocide down the throats of all the states. Get the federal government out of abortion. Your tax dollars are funding planned parenthood, and planned parenthood uses some of that money for abortions. Do you like that?
Do you agree that abortion should be a state issue?

I'm interested in your stance on publicly funded welfare benefits for these babies that we don't abort. My redneck relatives rant about the evil of abortions AND about the welfare mothers who cost taxpayers so much money. They call Obama a 'Socialist', while they receive corporate welfare themselves. The government funded Soil Bank Program pays my relatives something like $40K annually to not farm some of their worst cropland.

An even better idea is to let each woman decide on the issue as she sees fit , as long as our govt furnishes guns and bullets etc to other countries not to mention engaging in obscene wars , execute and torture how can anyone of us talk about the hypocrisy of caring about life .

yes or you can call it pro-life since it affects hers in some form or fashion . I much rather pay for birth control and or abortion than to have a unwanted child come into the world be mistreated and end up as a wart on the *** of society . Make all birth control and abortion free its a lot cheaper than child care juvenile hall and prison

the states did decide...and that's why it's common everywhere. It only comes up as a state issue when people realize they can push through regressive ideas some place with smear campaigns especially if they can get money from outside sources. I don't support bombing people by the way either...does that mean I shouldn't have to pay my taxes because they do it anyway?

I respect your opinion, but I must say I don't agree..
I believe abortion can't be seen as 'murder', since the fetus is not even viable at that stage.
Besides, what if a woman gets raped? Or a teenage girl?
What if an echo tells you that your child has a terminal disease?
You might say parents are ought to love their children; no matter what. But believe me, not all parents have the strength or the money to cope with situations like that.
Yes, adoption is an option too ofcourse; but I believe the choice should still be up to the parents. It's up to the people to decide what they wish to do to their bodies, not up to the States.
There is no need for more teenage pregnancies, -unless if wanted, ofcourse, which is pretty hard for me to imagine, but it's possible.- or families who have to survive on minimum wage.
But at some point I do agree with you, it should never be used as contraception.
I'm sorry for any mistakes you might find in my English. It's not my mother tongue.Like (2)

No, I don't like that. The government is not on your side and never will be. It doesn't exist to help you or support you; it's a separate entity from the rest of us. It is not concerned with your welfare or well-being; it will not go out on a limb for you. It will help itself; it will only do the very minimum for you. If it doesn't like you, it will destroy you. If you do not do as it says, it will throw you away. The power should be with the people. The social systems as they exist right now, may help some, but not nearly enough. It is a system flawed with mistakes - mistakes which will cost you, not them.

Its a political nightmare and would never happen but I agree it gives and element of choice. The more likely solution is the one of individual choice where individuals have the right to decide what happens to their body and their foetus.

Oh boy. I love my non heretic Christian friends, and I don't want to offend but, I as a heretic, don't see how people can use the Bible or God as an argument against abortion given the number of times infanticide is commanded or condoned in that book. I understand the argument against abortion, and God knows we may have already killed the cure for cancer or the solution to world hunger, and I even understand that God's commands to slaughter every living thing in certain places may have actually saved people in the future. (another can of worms!) but if you can put babies to the sword because they belong to a certain tribe, what would be worse about ending a pregnancy to prevent another unloved neglected child to suffer through life and most likely end up in prison.

Most things are state issues, it's only when the state shows incompetence, passes unconstitutional laws, or directly violates Federal Law.......Like criminalizing abortion to a degree that violates Federal mandate.

1. The main reason is because if we let the state do what they want we'd still have slavery, segregation, sodomy laws, laws against unmarried couples living together, no discrimination laws, interracial marriage would still be a crime, and women wouldn't be able to vote.
2. Majority rules does not always mean the majority is right. After all the majority of people wouldn't have outlawed slavery if it was put to a state to state vote, also YOU CANNOT VOTE ON PEOPLE'S RIGHTS. If the voting public had it their way after 9/11, I'm pretty sure every islamic person in america would have been rounded up and put in camps, just like the Japanese after Pearl Harbor.
3. It's YOUR belief that abortion is wrong. It's my belief that your belief is oppressive to women. It's Either Pro-choice or NO CHOICE.
You either live with the fact that NONE of you tax dollars go to abortion services , not affecting you at all, and that hundreds of thousands of women can continue their lives uninterrupted........OR you can Join the ranks of the Bomb throwing Christians like Eric Rudolph and the People who tried to torch my local Planned Parenthood, and the thousands of pro-life terrorists out there. As if that makes sense.....
