['Regarding abortion to save the mother's life: But as I've said before, i still want the choice to be there. And in order for it to be there, all women have to have the choice.']
well any woman who would choose her own life over her childs is a selfish bitch.

Prager, exactly. If the woman lives, she may be able to have other children. But if her current pregnancy kills her, it's almost certain to kill the baby as well, and it absolutely makes sure she won't get any further chances. It's just basic sense, both for survival and for procreation.
Abortion outcome: A few cells die (possibly a foetus if the decision is comparatively late), and the mother is potentially traumatised.
Should we explain to this idiot that in many, many cases, the life of the mother AND the child are in jeopardy? Why should BOTH of them die?
...jess hon, it's nice to know you would prefer to see me dead and the mutated, physically crippled, mentally damaged fetus that was killing me alive for the few years it survived hooked up to a machine. But y'know what? I'd bet if you were the one at risk, you'd save your own skin too. *twitch*
And I consider any idiot who still has both eyes, both kidneys, both arms and both legs, intact lungs and liver, in a world filled with those who can't see, pee or live, a selfish cunt.
Here's a fun game you can play with pro-lifers:
tracer, don't forget, Senator Bill Napoli found a middle ground:
In a case like this, it's not bloody likely that the fetus would live either, but assuming it did, any woman who would choose to die and leave a child without a mother and, most likely, with a strong dose of life-long guilt, is a sick, crazy cunt.
What if it's her own life over *neither*, which is more likely to be the case in these circumstances?
So, just so I'm understanding here:
Anonymous earlier poster: I dunno... call me crazy, but I agree with Just Jess. Why would you deny someone a chance at life just to save your own? That's kinda selfish...
So what happens if the mother already has 5 other kids at home? I guess those kids should watch their mother die and then be forced to grow up without her.
I bet jess is one of those twits who protests this sort of thing until she finds herself (or her daughter) in the exact same situation. And then abortion is ok, for her.
You do realize that in most of those situations, the baby will die right along with the mother. It happened to a friend of mine, and she left behind another child who had to grow up without a mother. She risked her life to have him too. Of course all the so called pro-lifers were nowhere to be found when she needed help caring for the baby, and raising money for her medical bills. It was all of us pro-choice friends who helped her with that.
The pro life crowd was also strangely quiet & out of sight during her funeral, and afterwards when her family needed comfort and support, and her husband needed help raising his son alone.
I guess they thought their job was done.
I guess I married a selfish bitch, then. Mind you, I'd rather have her than have tried to raise a child without his/her mother, which is what medical opinion suggested might happen if she'd continued the pregnancy, although more likely I'd have lost them both.
So maybe I'm a selfish bastard, too. Bite me.
I'll chose my life over a clump of cells any day thanks.
Also, if the mother dies, the embryo/fetus dies anyway, unless it's far enough along to survive outside the mother, in which case you can just do a c-section before anything bad happens and solve the whole problem without any death.
Why kill both mother and unborn baby when you can save one of them by removing the embryo/fetus? That's just plain dumb.
What if the child is going to die anyway?, remember that, while pregnant, the baby can't live without her
Confused?
