Isn't it strange that the "my body my choice" advocates are also on board for forcing others to pay for the care and maintenance of "my body". I guess that's part of the choice element. "I choose to have you pay for my surgery."

My body my choice is a defunct debate point. Ask a question to any pro choice person.

"are you in favor of abortion up until the moment of birth ?"

Unless they say yes (and at this point very few do) ;then they believe that at some point in the pregnancy there is a human life that needs protection and it is no longer a matter of choice.

Bill Maher had this discussion . I give him credit; for nothing else ;he's honest .

Bill Maher STUNS Audience: Abortion Is Murder BUT GOOD (youtube.com)

What is sad is that people like Piers Morgan laughed at it all. The pro-abortion crowd has elected to just not take the issue of human life seriously. It's all the result, so far as I can see, of the general decline in the belief that man is made in the image of God, and being made in God's image gives us all great value including those in the womb. But that's an "inconvenient truth", so it all just gets ignored.

It's why the question we see here occasionally concerning why women get abortions has no relevance. If the unborn child is a human being, then it makes no difference why a woman wants to get an abortion. If the unborn child is NOT a human, then it makes no real difference why the woman wants to get an abortion any more than why a woman wants to get a tooth pulled. Either way it's a moot point other than situations where continuing the pregnancy would end the mother's life. As far as I know, modern medicine has eliminated that as a consideration.

In Maher's logic genocide is acceptable murder also to reduce the population. It's only a question of which humans get whacked.

The next targets will be the elderly and disabled kids.
