For those of you who think that abortion kills people and that its existence is the moral equivalent of genocide, here are some things to consider before voting.
Republicans support something called “abstinence-only” education, which involves either withholding information from or giving distorted and inaccurate information to students. “Abstinence-only education” has been shown to increase incidents of unplanned pregnancy. Many conservatives also favor restricting access to, or even banning birth control. This would have the effect of drastically increasing the number of unplanned pregnancies, and consequently the number of abortions performed.
Republicans are shaping our economy into one that increasingly relies on mass consumption, yet works to extract maximum wealth from the consumer base. This year and next year we are experiencing the results of this in the form of a consumer-driven recession - one that is bankrupting much of the middle class, and will change the working poor into the unemployed destitute. This regression into a Gilded Age economy may not be what Republicans say they want, but that their policies work toward it is a matter of fact.
In 1998, 21.3% of abortions were undertaken because the mother could not afford to raise a child.
Democrats may not be perfect, but at least most of them support policies that would create more and better-paying jobs for poor people, as well as affordable health care and other forms of support for single mothers. A consequence of implementing these policies would be that the number of hardship-motivated abortions would fall. Republican policies, on the other hand, would act as a multiplier on this figure by pushing our economy further out of balance and driving up the number of poor people.
What it comes down to is that we live in a society that does not account for childbirth outside of a rigid set of social norms - a woman is expected to be of a certain age, in a long-term relationship, and financially secure enough to raise a child, and outside of these conditions, the prospect of becoming a mother ranges from highly inconvenient to downright impossible. Conservatives love these kinds of restrictions placed on the human condition, and would make them even more rigid if they could, such that even in the unlikely event that Roe v Wade is overturned, abortion rates couldn’t possibly fall short of strapping down pregnant women for nine months and physically preventing them from interfering with their natural human-spawning process.
So why they would you vote Republican?

Dude, bottom line. You can vote democrat if you’re pro-life, but it’s like throwing that issue down the drain because nearly all democratic candidates are pro-choice. You can believe whatever you want, but if the Pres. candidate doesn’t agree…
You’re probably one …
You’re probably one of the dumbest people in the world you should just choke yourself with your intestines. I bet you eat babies you fagget.

bush is pro-life, and he is the worst president in the history of the USA,
he is a genocidal, a coward a true hypocrite himself, lets vote for “bush III” so bush’s doctrine does not die
you will be happy doing that would you not?

look again, you do not need eggs n sperm to create a human being, have you heard of cloning?
and sperm can become an embryo, if it follows nature,. .
sex objective is to conceive;conceive to develop a human being, and if, “aborted”, intentionally blocking it, is defeating its purpose, so, if you have blocked any conception you have murdered, if we were to follow your logic
the fact is an embryo is not a person
at conception a person is not magically created, it takes a few mts
“1-Republicans are …
“1-Republicans are for freedom for young children to LIVE. If that’s the case why can’t I kill you, shouldn’t I have that freedom?
typical lifers’ fallacies.
yes, if i were growing inside of you, you could kill me.
who is the “stupid shit”
LMAO
embryos are not children, proven scientific fact.
lifers are the ones MURDERING THE BORN, bunch of hypocrites
You’re full of …
You’re full of bullocks, aren’t you.
Saliva and sperm by itself do not have a chance in to become children. Embryos do.

entering iraq is the reason the genocidal took place
are we not murdering for convenience?
to control other regions?
as bad as hussein was, hewas the lesser of the evils, and in case you ignore it, bin laden and hussein were supported by republicans. . . .WE GAVE HUSSEIN WMDs
saliva has unique …
saliva has unique dna, unique dna does not make a person,
spermis have unique dna, no one is the same, they are not 1/2 persons

“If they die during menstruation, why do we need to go and terminate it?”
they are children, according to lifers, why are letting them suffer such a cruel death, we could have a system to save them and plant them.
or do you agree that a child is not created at conception?
“young children”
what young children? republicans are the only ones ordering the murdering any one that gets in their path of enforcing their creed
we cannot control …
we cannot control every thing, you said,
i agree,
i cannot control what you do with your body, no one can control the body of the woman but herself
Killing innocents? …
Killing innocents? Leaving Iraq will kill many innocents. It will also take out the Western presence on a huge part of the Middle East. That will leave us vulnerable. The reason McCain used “100 years” is to establish A BASE. A military base is where we station troops when the need arises. However, military strategy is beyond your scope. Embryos aren’t children? Retard, it’s a matter of opinion.
If they die during …
If they die during menstruation, why do we need to go and terminate it?
Exactly. Why don’t we try to save that man who accidentally slipped down a huge cliff? -.-
We can’t control everything, but we should protect whatever we can.
Also,
1-Republicans are for freedom for young children to LIVE. If that’s the case why can’t I kill you, shouldn’t I have that freedom?
2-…..Wow. That’s so stupid I have no comment.
3-Embryos have unique DNA like other human beings…. stupidshit.
40 to 80% of …
40 to 80% of embryos are unable to attach to mama, and simply are discarded during menstruation, if they are people, why are we not rescuing them, if we see a kid drowning, we make efforts to save him/her,
if we were to see millions of children been pulled by murderous waters, would we not try to save them?

you are …
norcal
you are wrong
1.- republicans are against woman having their freedom, are woman not people to them?
2.- king bush tried very hard to make us slaves to HIS laws, his doctrine
3.-bush is the ONE murdering innocents, he has sent our bros n sists to be blown in pcs, surly, he did not have the guts to go himself when his turn was up.
the genocidal bush is murdering thousands of innocents.
by the way, embryos are not children, look it up
nice choice, go ahead vote for bush the 3rd
1. Why do you use …
1. Why do you use words without knowing what they mean? (socialist, freedom)
2. Why did you post a comment that has nothing to do with the argument I make in the video?
3. Why do YOU want to kill unborn children by voting Republican?
Why are you a …
Why are you a socialist? What hope does Obama offer? The Republican party is for the freedom of people. The socialist demcrate party would make us slaves of the government.
Why do you want to kill children before they see the light of day. Obama voted for partial birth abortion. Even the National Socialist Party (Nazis) would not do the horrible things abortion doctors to to the unborn.
Why do you want to be owned by the government?
Firstly, Barack …
Firstly, Barack Obama isn’t “Pro-abortion” any more than the hypothetical Christian god is “pro-abortion” by allowing it to exist. Secondly, if less abortions would result from an Democratic government than from a Republican government as I argue, then the Republicans are more deserving of the title “pro-abortion”.
Because Obama is …
Because Obama is Pro-abortion.
That embryo most …
That embryo most likely will grow into a child, with slight chance of natural miscarriage.
That’s plain pessimism. What if a doctor giving an abortion accidentally damages the woman’s uterus or harm her life? A child should be given the chance to live, some might be the next Hitler, but then again, they could’ve been the the one who discovers a cure for cancer.
It really depends on what you consider a “person.” If that embryo matures, it will be a unique living object with its own unique DNA.
wafffe.
“who could …
wafffe.
“who could that child you killed have been”
first of all, if it was an embryo or a fetus with no cognitive capacities, it was not a child yet, proven fact.
secondly; i could be another hitler, another genocidal bush, a serial killer, that is a fallacy.
“killed the child if outside the mothers body”
if a embryo is outside of her body, is it person?
no it is not
Many parents don’t …
Many parents don’t teach their children morals.
Who will teach them it’s wrong to have underaged sex? Who will they listen to? Remember, children like these run rampart in the public education system.
Most importantly, who could that child you killed have been? Also, why can’t we also kill children who were just born? Why is it wrong to kill a child if it went outside the mother’s body, but it’s alright if it remains inside? That “embryo” is a developing unborn child.
It’s more colorful …
It’s more colorful than “reproductive blah blah blah”
