Let me get this straight -- you're not trolling, but you created three threads your first day here about abortion?

For the longest time, one of a woman's primary jobs, as far as the ruling men were concerned, was to pop out babies. That's why virginity is so prized, and having her hymen broken is considered defiling her forever. Having respect for a woman's body, up to lettng her make her own decisions when pregnant is a cornerstone of equality. It's a little hypocritical when a christian republican want to keep women from using birth control, or having abortions, but also wants to cut welfare systems that may be meant to help women actually raise a child that she's been forced to give birth to.
There's seven billion people on the planet. I think our species will be fine if women want to have abortions, or not have heterosexual sex, or whatever.

Well, A woman has hundreds of thousands of eggs that "Could" be fertilized and could create a baby. She, generally speaking, has about 40 years or so of natural monthly cycles where one or more of these eggs becomes open to the possibility of conception. Yet in reality, she will choose to greatly limit the possible progeny to just one or two children as the norm. Thus it is morally imperative that she be able to choose the circumstance and the timing of the few children she does choose to have because for every child she chooses to have, at least 11 more eggs lose their chance to become babies just as surely as if you chopped them up in a blender.

I'm confused, is there any difference between this guy's three threads?

Late term abortions are a fucking non issue. There are so few of them already and if you discount those that are medically necessary to save the woman and those that are a result of poor access to affordable abortion, what are you left with? A person who wants to tell the story of those bad bad baby killing pro-choicers, because they don't have any real argument against allowing a woman full control over her own body.
