This argument always kills me. Once a woman has become pregnant, it's no longer just her body. When Dr. Ron Paul was asked his stance on abortion, and at what point a fetus was considered a human, he stated that when he went through his medical internship he was taught that if a pregnant woman came into his emergency room, he didn't have one patient to care for, but two.Again, who says an abortion is murder? According to 65 percent of our country and the Supreme Court does not consider it murder under the right circumstances.. Or do you just not like that part of the constitution that gives women control of their bodies....
When a pregnant woman and her developing baby die due to murder or manslaughter, the offender is charged with 2 counts, not one. Even if she's just a few weeks along. The unborn is a legal entity, period. So tell me, why is a developing fetus not considered a human life in the cases of "a baby is not real convenient right now." Yeah, do whatever you want to your own body, but leave the baby's alone.
And if you have 9 minutes, watch this, and I dare anyone to find the holes in it:

begles, why do you disparage perfectly good open discussion? These are issues that concern us, and we want to talk about them. It affects us as a nation. And we can form solid opinions by reading a lot of different ones. Yes, I could move this thread to the political forum, and if the criers can't see their way past this thread to get to the beagle topics, I might. But for now, I see no harm in it remaining here.
I would remind everyone to keep name calling out of it. Try to elevate yourselves just enough to avoid it. Scream it at your monitors if you must, but don't type it, please.
