I'll just get my stance on abortion out there and let the debate begin.....I do not believe in abortion as a method of birth control! For example if an 18 year old couple gets pregnant I do not believe they have the right to end the childs life just because they don't want it. I think that is despicable and inhumane. However I do believe in abortion ONLY if the mother is in serious risk, or if she is the victim of rape. I think the partial birth ban is a good law because it only bans that type of abortion. There are other forms of abortion that are FAR more humane than this. If you are unfamiliar with this procedure I encourage you to educate yourselves before posting against this ban. I do not think there needs to be anything added to this law since there are other forms of abortion that could be used if the mother is at risk of dying.

I consider myself (for the most part) pro-life, but I fully support the *right* to an abortion of any kind. I don't necessarily agree with the action in most cases (although I certainly do understand it in cases of rape or if the mother's life is in danger, etc...) but I definitely do not agree with the government having any control over what anyone does with their own body. Although I would do my best to talk someone out of a partial birth abortion, I don't think it should be illegal. To put this idea into perspective, I feel basically the same way about abortion as I do about suicide or a lesser form of self-mutilation. There are few cases in which I think committing suicide is the "right" thing to do (although, like I feel about abortion, I do feel that there are circumstances where it would be appropriate) but I don't think the gov't should have the right to tell someone that they can't do either (abortion or suicide).

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
