If you look at the studies done between befor and after abortion became legal, the shocking truth is crime in relation to our population, crime is actually less than what it was before legal abortion.

What is morally right does not always coincide with what people THINK best serves them. Otherwise abortion wouldn't be an issue to debate in the first place. IT is morally wrong to take the life of another, however, people do it anyway (young or old, born or not)I'm just glad our tax dollars are NOT going to be payin for it.

Well I'm not a contridiction. I do not believe in abortion or capital punishment. I for one do not want to take these two sins into pergatory with me. I have enough to atone for and certainly don't need this added weight to my own sins. And to those who say that Abortion isn't a sin, that's your opinion, my faith teaches me that life begins at conception therefore abortion is the taking of a life.

I fall into that gray area of folk who want to make sure that the abortion issue is not used for political gain.Just like everything else in this world, it has to be met with great consideration and common sense.I'm sick of politicians using it to gain seats in what ever elections they are going after.I'm more concerned with the fact, regardless of what religious faction you belong to, that we are quickly overpopulating our world.The main reason young healthy women seek out abortions is because they can't afford to care for child.Others just don't have the desire to do so.What ever the reason behind it, if a free birth control system were in place we would not be seeing nearly as many abortions.I firmly believe if we gave women the choice to have either birth control methods freely given, or even free sterilization for both men and women if they so choose, this issue would cease to fuel the political fires.Perhaps then they could focus on something more important like homelessness.

I am against abortion in most cases, rape, and just because the woman decides not to have a child. I am also for the death penalty. You may say that is a contradiction. In some ways it is. However, with folks like the Carr brothers, Dennis Rader, now the person who killed George Tiller in cold-blood, they deserve death. No more of us taxpayers paying for them to live out the rest of their lives. They took people lives. They deserve death.

has different ideas of morality: abortion does not fall into a moral or immoral column in my opinion, as it only affects those directly involved and no one else. Some anti abortion people are pro death penalty: is that not a contradiction? My point is that many choose their morals based on what best serves them.

Well at least some democrats have a little morality left. Or is this moderate Dems. afraid they'll not be re-elected if they didn't vote with the Republicans on this Admendment?
