pro-life... pro-choice

Myabe becuase a real baby has sensations and feelings, but a fetus is physiologically incapable of those traits and is just a parasitic organism. Just becuase you wanted your children and enjoy having them does not mean that any other woman is required to bear children or that she would want to have them. I personally detest children and the very concept of pregnancy makes my skin crawl. I refuse to ever gestate a pregnancy and I avoid all children as much as humanly possible.

Also, those photos are FAKE. I suggest you research actual fetal development from real medical text, not such blatent propaganda.

"an unborn child is torn apart limb by limb"

If you had*any* idea what you are talking about, you'd know that 90% of ALL abortions are done before week 12.

No limbs to tear apart. It still looks like either a clump of tissue that falls out of me every 28 days or a tadpole. NO brain, no feelings, no smiling waving baby.

You are suffering from the sub-lethal inability to make any sense.

sub-lethal inability to make sense.

That is genius... can I steal it?

Also; first 12 weeks and looking like a tadpole... it even has a tail!

In the first 8 weeks (could be days*thinks* it's been a long time since I looked this stuff up) the human heart goes through several stages that are reflected in mammalian evolution.

1: very much like a fish heart, just a simple cylinder.
2: the cylinder doubles up, making two chambers, like a reptile heart
3: doubles again to form the four chambers of the human heart, however, it has a 'hole' in it and it does not truly beat on its own; the 'mother's' heart is doing the work... blood mostly bypasses the higher sections of the brain because of this 'hole.'

Not until a neonate takes it's first breath (and forms a vacuum within it's lungs and blood system) does the heart begin to function on it's own. The vacuum forces a flap of muscle to close over the heart and it starts to pump oxygen to the brain and the brain flares up like the night sky on 4th July.

So yeah, the brain doesn't have any higher function actually working until the first breath... or to get all Biblical, the soul does not enter the body until the first breath.

I hope Shellfish doesn't mind, because I am going to use it next time one of my kids acts up. I love it!

"adoption! give the baby inside of you a chance to live and have a great life."

I'm not ruining my life to give some infertile bigot a chance to live out their dreams. They can go adopt one of the millions of other kids in the system.

ohhhkkayy... i wasn't saying EVERYONE should give their child up. i was saying it's an alternative to abortion.

I don't mean to be argumentative, but your not pro-choice if you do not support "choice". Supporting choice includes that it's not my business why a woman chooses to terminate or to dictate if her reasons are valid enough to me.It's her body, her choice.

I've read a few other of your posts on other abortion discussions. I am with you 100% of everything you've said on Pro-choice, I always have been Pro-choice.

I also have to say that GloomCookie has stated some very useful information and thank-you for informing everyone that at age of the fetus/baby/whatever you would like to call it, it doesn't feel yet.
