This comment makes me think you might actually be the stupidest person on this board. Do you really believe the words you type or is it just for dramatic effect? I can't tell.

You evidently don't know sarcasm when you see it.

I know perfectly well it is sarcasm, but it's the placement of this sarcasm that is the issue. He is trying to dismiss the problem of unsafe abortions with a flippant gesture. Yes they still happen in the US. Yes, the legal status & access to safe abortions correlates to the amount of unsafe practices. Yes, unsafe abortions contribute to rising heath costs everyone has to pay. If you don't understand these basic facts you are pretty much an idiot.

Until then, you are advocating for butchery of the poor.

That's wrong. No one is required to take on the responsibility for the mistakes of others before they can draw the line at making a bigger mistake (furthermore care of children is beyond the role of government). That's all abortion ever is--a grave mistake. It's morally wrong to concoct or prop up reason to take the life of an unborn child. No one here is in the position of God, and that's who you would have to be to decide whether that child should live or die.

Wait, didn't go through a big war on women rant by the right about birth control? Are there so many abortions going on because birth control is not available or women are really stupid for not taking precautions? No one is advocating "butchery" other than the fear mongers on the right to win the female vote.

your original quote was all "WAAAAAH" so I fixed it.

That's enough... I'm closing this.
