• This Is How Americans With No Religion Feel About Abortion (Plus: Are Most Women Really Pro-Choice?)

  @JAEMD: I completely agree! Thank you for talking some sense into this situation. The abortion argument is the epitome of patriarchy in our society in that so many people want the government (made up of mostly men) to make decisions about what should occur within an individual woman’s body. People talk about how they want small government, but legislating a woman’s uterus is the exact opposite of that. We think it’s ridiculous and silly when we hear stories about the government of North Korea requiring its citizens to only have certain hairstyles, but this is a thousand times worse! Telling a woman that she must sacrifice her individual liberty as a “punishment” for having sex while the man gets nothing but a “tsk tsk, shoulda been more careful” is a perfect example of why we do NOT respect gender equality in this country.

  Yeah, if we could just get rid of all the women there’d be no more abortions! Oh, wait…

  Maybe women are more pro-choice because they are the ones whose bodily autonomy is up for debate here?

  Why is this sick? The cells created from this process are more effective for stem cell therapy than harvested adult stem cells. It’s not “creating life only to destroy it”, it’s creating cells that could be directed to form into anything. Just because “baby” is one of the things they could form doesn’t make any difference. They aren’t babies, they’re liver cells, neurons, bone marrow, etc. And they aren’t destroyed, they’re implanted back into the patient, a.k.a. the body from whence they obtained their DNA or “life”.

  I think it’s ironic that the same types of people who think a two-month-old fetus is a baby with rights that trump the rights of the woman are the same people who insist that children are under the authority of the parents (i.e. to be disciplinde how the parents want, be taught how the parents want) and do not have personal individual rights. So you want the government to intervene and protect the rights of a fetus but when it comes to actual children, the government should butt out and leave it up to the parents to raise them how they see fit? I think you have it backwards, if you ask me.

  By “the means” do you mean extracting a skin cell from a patient, engineering it into a stem cell, directing that stem cell to duplicate and form bone marrow cells, and then injecting those bone marrow cells back into the leukemia patient? Because I see nothing wrong with that.

  Being pro-choice doesn’t mean you loooove abortions and want everyone to have one. You can be against abortion and still believe people can make their own choices.

• Texas May Have Its Own Gosnell: Houston Doc Accused of Gruesome Illegal Abortions

  Well seeing as how both the National Institute of Health and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynogologists have declared that Plan B does NOT cause abortion, I’m going to disagree with you there. Medical experts describe pregnancy as beginning with implantation and define abortion as the termination of a pregnancy, so if there is no implantation there’s no pregnancy to terminate and therefore no abortion.

  @Fish_Bone: So you think women who have sex and become unintentionally pregnant should be punished for having sex by being forced to carry a pregnancy they don’t want?

  @Jodi: Most pro-choice people, including the current management of Planned Parenthood, do not agree with Sanger’s philosophies. She is considered an extremist crazy person. Nobody WANTS abortions to happen, and definitely not for some sort of eugenic goal, they just want women to be treated like human beings with full control over their own bodies and freedom to make choices for their own reproductive health.

  Tell that to the leukemia patient who can receive life-saving bone marrow grown from this procedure.
