so we destroy the child in the womb for the child not yet conceived? we liken our own kind to a wild animal?
reminds me of a report i saw some while back about a group of women who had themselves fixed because they thought having babies was wrong due to the extra pollution and whatnot. real winners for society, them. listenting to them spew their garbage you coulda swore neither of them had ever taken a crap...
well.... when somone uses a southpark clip to make a) a political point b) an intellectual point or c) a moral point i automatically declare myself the winner and move on.
don't know where you been soonerdawg, but this is america. animal life has been more important than human life for some time. i do agree with you though, human life in my opinion is more valuable. we do need to be tagged like deer though. one kid and that's it. keep the birth rate slightly ahead of the death rate. will preserve resources needed for them to survive. or they'll be dead like the overpopulated deer end up in the winter. this isn't just for me, it's for human kind down the line.
but you guys arn't programmed to understand that. you don't care if the baby lives in a cardboard box as long as it wasn't aborted heh. you have to think realistically, don't be so emotionally driven.
Yeah, that is true. No one really cares about another nonsensical debate regarding abortion, we have heard it many times over already.Interesting discussion, but as far as I can see the point in question was funds for contraceptions. Is there anything to be said against promoting the use of contraceptions in order to limit the number of unwanted pregnancies? If yes then I haven't heard it yet.
i dont get why there are so many anti-abortion people out there. who would want a kid to put through years of abuse and neglect with a parent who doesnt want it.
or who wants to go through a parent dumping the newborn in the garbage can because they didnt want it. those foster homes are a breeding ground for the future criminals. i dont get why you guys dont want to avoid all that.

I think that given a choice, the living breathing infant would prefer to be given a chance. In this great country, many will succeed in life, assuming that looney logic and values don't contaminate their minds. If poisoned, the grow up to be victims and the deck is stacked against them.

[FONT=georgia,times new roman,times,serif]A picture began circulating in November. It should be 'The Picture of the Year,' or perhaps, 'Picture of the Decade.' It won't be. In fact,unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.
The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner.
The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother! , Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta . She knew of Dr Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt Univ Med Ctr in Nashville , he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.
During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.
The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity The editors titled the picture, 'Hand of Hope.' The text explaining the picture begins, 'The tiny hand of 21-week-old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's uterus to grasp the finger of Dr Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life.'
Little Samuel's mother said they 'wept for days' when they saw the picture. She said, 'The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person.'Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100percent successful.
Now see the actual picture again, and it is awesome....
incredible....
and hey, pass it on.
The world needs to see this one! [/FONT]
The mother was anesthetized but somehow this 21 month old fetus was strong enough and just reached out and grabbed the doctors finger right?
I'm sure the surgery existed, but I call BS on the fetus "grabbing" the finger of the doctor.
I consider 5 months 'late term' abortion and I don't think I have ever seen anyone here condone that.
The story RR posted is sad and unfortunate but I really don't know what it has to do with birth control which is what the thread topic is about.
What actually took place, as described in news reports of the surgery, was that:
[J]ust as surgeon Dr. Joseph Bruner was closing the incision in Julie Armas' uterus, Samuel's thumbnail-sized hand flopped out. Bruner lifted it gently and tucked it back in.
(The dubious veracity of the photographer's version of events is highlighted by the disclaimer he appended to it on his web site, stating that it represented his "opinion of the events as they took place during the surgery for Samuel.")
