If a women is not sure whether or not she wants to keep a potential child, I think the odds of her raising it will enough to keep it from stealing my car or going to prison are not very good.

It's a good thing your mothers weren't pro choice.

What if your wife was raped and became pregnant?
It is not anyone's decision about what they want to do but the person having the child. If you are not able to provide a decent life for a person.....why would you want to bring them into the world?

Does the father get a say in the matter?

I wasn't being insulting, I was stating a fact. For 50,000 years there have been many unwanted children from unwanted fathers.
In the past, the church or state took ownership of these children. If you ask my opinion if my wife was pregnant from a horrible incident like rape I would accept it and love that child as my own. It would be the prudent thing to do. Doing anything else would be punishment of the child.

I applaud you if you could really accept it and love it as your own child. What if the person cannot afford to have another kid (eg-people on welfare)?
I believe it would be punishment to the child to bring him into a world if they can not be supported and given a loving family.
I appreaciate you sharing your view....:beer:

No problem. I see your point on the welfare thing but $10 a month for birth control should eliminate the "affording a kid" scenario, especially considering the fact that 85% of all Americans can "afford" cable TV. There are millions of children that deal with horrid times with crappy parents...you are 100% correct there.

And think about why most abortions are performed...because someone slept around, or didn't use protection in the first place.

But the reason I'm on the "pro-life" side is that you can't trust politicans to decide when life begins.
No, if they are willing to have an abortion, then they are not qualified to decide when life begins either. Besides, there are some people who should not reproduce.Originally posted by i8u
So if a pregnant women goes and has an abortion a politician made her decision for her?
