But the mothers life is worth more than the baby's?

For example in the case of current abortion law one is not only talking about a mother's physical life. Some of the reasons women get abortions is to enhance their social, financial and personal "lives" - all the expense of the very physical lives of their unborn children.

Thats quite a problem with your argument wouldnt you say?

wow...rereading the entire discussion from my last post, still doesnt make any sense at all

since we all seem to a agree that partial birth abortions should'nt be done unless there is a direct risk to the mother.

next people will be telling me every time i...im killing a potential baby...

Absolutely.

What if the mother has children already? Is it okay for her to die or severely disable herself trying to deliver another? Then what happens to the existing children?

This is the problem with the law. Laws are black and white. There is no allowance for exceptions or circumstances and this is why the courts have struck down the ban.

Good on them.

Oh I agree.

But I was responding to this statement made by a liberal abortion supporter who mentioned as an example of conservative hypocricy.

"Life is life and no life is worth more than another life."

Just a thought on relative value...

Many mothers would give up their life to save thier children, and many have. They have valued their children's lives more than their own..

The people in power preaching these morals cannot possibly be holy in their own god's eyes.. The way I see it our government has no box to stand on to preach morals to the sheep.. To each his own..

MURDER, simple to me too.

I don't know how any doctor could even stomach such a thing..the picture in my mind of that ihas made me sick to my stomach. Especially as the little person gets further along and really starts looking like a baby. I hope anyone who has had this done or gets this done and the people that provide this service all burn in hell.

You would have to be evil to provide this service!

Can you direct me to a prewar quote from Chiraq, Schroeder, Putin or some other world leader other than Saddam who said something like, "Iraq has completely divested itself of WMD's"

I haven't found one yet.

So quick to go to war? Ahh yes the decade long US rush to another war with Saddam.

And at the risk of another tangent here what do you make of John Kerry's current* stance that he would have had the war even if he knew there were no WMD? He would support killing all those peopole even without the WMD..

*will change with new polls and focus groups

It's not murder, the SCOTUS just reaffirmed that. Murder is an illegal killing. Partial birth abortions or intact dilation and extractions aren't illegal, ergo not murder.

Geez louise and how did I learn this,

Thrawn: Executions are murder and that's against the ten commandmants!

Christian-dude-on-the-BBS: No it isn't, murder is an illegal killing and executions are legal, ergo it's not murder and therefore not against the ten commandments.

Thrawn: Oh...I R TARD.

Christian-dude-on-the-BBS: Yes, yes you are, but Jesus loves you any way...tard.

You have to be evil to be able to perform such an act.

Interesting... have had a few discussions with parents about priorities. My wife and I believe that our marriage is more important than our children. We must protect it. We must nurture it and in doing so, we will provide the best environment for our children.

It's never black and white... granted... I might indeed give my life to save one of my children. That is... unless I start thinking about the affect it might have on ALL of them. Hopefully, if the moment ever occurs, I'll have enough time to choose what is best.
