Re: Abortion???

Well, it disgusts me that people think it is okay to force a woman to suffer the emotional and physical distress of pregnancy when she didn't have a choice in the matter. Rape is a horrible crime....

Re: Abortion???

I agree with YNF here. Breathing involves the lungs and thinking involves the brain. So why choose the heart as the key component in determining life?
