You give me advice my side of the argument and then close with intentional killing of a human being? How about not letting women have any control over their bodies? Is there anymore intrusive legislation than that? Vasectomies and hysterectomies are both legal, as is abortion. If people are hot to legislate against the latter why not the other two?

How can you say women have no control over their bodies???? They decided to have sex, no?
Are you aware of any reports of miraculous conception?? I'd say they have more control over their bodies, and what they do with it, without having to choose to kill.

So it boils down to an inconvenience? A life? How inconvenient for that unborn child.
Oh, and I have no belief, whatsoever, in the Virgin Mary.

I am sure she was a virgin at some point.

So men can have all the sex they want but women have to be the one's responsible? Being male that sounds like a good deal but does the majority female population concur? Rubbers break, pills don't work 2% of the time, pullouts are poorly timed. Do we just say it's God's will and make them have the baby? Shame them for being harlots and tell them this is the price they pay for their wantonness?
I will say, being a loyal democrat, I am loving this republican tactic to woo the female vote.

Well, men can't have all the sex they want if there aren't any women to have it with.
However, if one feels they are grown-up enough to engage in sex, then they should be old enough to take on the responsibility that could be a result of their actions. Personal responsibility isn't really a bad thing.
I seriously doubt the Democrats will garner any new women to their wonderful cause. I'd say everyone's minds are pretty much made up on this topic.

In response to your post, for women who demand complete control of their body, nice job of responsibly controlling their own body when they end up with an unwanted pregnancy.
Kind of like a medical mulligan involving life.
In Roe v Wade the Supreme Court judges based the decision on drawing a line between being human and being a person, a fetus is a human, but not a person and only a person is afforded protection under the 14th Amendment. Go figure...
I find that to be a very compelling point RM, we only provide constitutional protection to persons, how sad is that?

I don't know, it looks like there are plenty of women who tend to woo themselves over.
