I personally believe that every abortion is a tragedy. But I also believe that a woman's right to choose what happens to her own body trumps the opinions of others.

Do you believe killing an embryo is the same as killing an infant? Are spontaneous abortions tragedies similar to crib death? I suspect not, that doesn't fit with your last sentence. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

Shoot, I'm not finding it. When I see it again, I'll save it. I was surprised when someone showed it to me and looked it up. But I'm not finding it right now, so I will hold off repeating it until I have the verse available. My bad. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison |
