    I didnt think they used abortions but i guess they could

    Most of them were embryos from test tubes and they remove the stem cells which automatically terminates the embryo.

    Anyone against this, needs to go jump off a diving board without water, become a quadriplegic, and THEN say they are against it!

    look at abortion pictures and then say you're for it.

    and also the sheer number of innocent babies murdered in our country up to now.

    i really don't appreciate the humor used in association with abortion...this is no joking matter. unbelievable.

    sorry but we already have enough unwanted children in this world. i would love to know the staggering numbers of prolifers who have adopted. gov has no place to tell someone what they can/can't do w/ their body. if we had population control like some other countries we wouldn't have so many idiots running around this country.

    Really any pictures of medical operations look grotesque. I'm sure if you showed people pictures of tumors they would probably have the same reaction. I have browsed some of the books we send out to the Vet-Med library down in Tifton, and some of the diseases/problems with cattle and swine will make you seriously reconsider eating meat. But I still order my steaks medium rare.

    I'm all about it. I had a friend that was one of the 2 first people to have stemcell treatment about 8 years ago. He was paralized from the waist down but has been walking and lifting for about 7 years now. And I agree with admin 100%

    screw it. not like its a living person. we need the cures that stem cells can provide. only downside, whenever a cure for something is found, the pharm. companies will cover it up any way possible cause in their minds and sorta the truth. there is not profit in cures. there's already a cure for the man made HIV/AIDs and cancer. even tho new research is proving that HIV and AIDs are a lot more different than we are told.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    so the "need" to get rid of unwanted children justifies murder?
    and please, do look up the numbers, i'm curious as well.

    "idiots running around this country" wow really? is that the best you can come up with? look at china, do you honestly think population control is working over there, according to your "idiots running around this country" theory?

    did a quick google search. this is the quickest, most current statistic I could find:

    July 8, 2007

    Adoptions are increasingly in the headlines around the world. Some Hollywood celebrities have been in the news recently for adopting children abroad, and there has been a renewed interest in the plight of orphaned children. What is the annual number of child adoptions worldwide?

    A. 1 million B. 250,000 C. 125,000 D. 40,000

    B. 250,000 is correct.

    About 85 percent of these adoptions are domestic, or undertaken within the same country. In relative terms, the number of child adoptions is small, with only 1.5 percent out of the 16 million orphans worldwide being placed each year.

    The number of adoptions that take place each year in the United States is 125,000. The United States thus accounts for about one-half of the total number of child adoptions worldwide, with most of them being domestic adoptions.

    Who are you to determine what a woman should or should not do with her body?

    At what point, in your scientific opinion, does life begin?

    What are you doing for the millions of unwanted children world wide, that are left behind by parents that do not want them? Have you adopted said children? Or you just all talk because it's easier that way?

    1) i'm not one to tell what a woman can or cannot do...and apparently i'm on the unpopular side of this debate

    however, abortion is what a woman is doing to her baby, not to herself...although many women do go through severe stages of depression and whole bunches of other psychological whatnots, but hey we'll look at that later if need be.

    2) when does life begin? as soon as an embryo is formed.
    or better yet, let's just ask the baby when it popped out. "when did life begin for you?"

    3) hm..good question. would community service for an orphanage in a foreign country count for something?

    So an embryo can survive independently of the mother?

    I felt there was no further explanation needed after Admin posted..

    Since you're so against abortions, think about this..

    Say..your mom/sister/whoever gets knocked out and raped by some person. You would rather her have the baby than to get an abortion? You would rather someone live their life with some fuck-ups baby than for them to get rid of it? Who are you to decide how they should live there life?

    Some people make mistakes. Young kids in middle and high school do not need a baby AT ALL. How much would it have fucked up your life to be a father in 8th,9th,10th grade? (considering you got that far with your education)

    Oh, you probably would have been the kind of person to just give it away and put the burden on someone else. Let someone else take care of your problem when you could have just taken care of it from the get-go while it was just a tiny little embryo or perhaps while it was in the shape of a tadpole.

    Also, the whole world is better off with abortions..Some people just don't need to breed..

    I feel like abortion is too complicated to express into multiples. How you feel about this is directly a result of who you are nature or nuture. While destroying an embryo tugs at my heartstrings I won't let it over shadow the true wonder at what has been accomplished. This is also so powerful that I dont think it will be controllable with policy if it is allowed to develop rapidly. It may easily de-humanize the population.
