I ...Thank you both for the relatively civil debate. I agree that the Tebow case probably shouldn't be the literal poster-child against abortion given the dire health circumstances yet I also agree that that argument is somewhat a red-herring. I don't have recent numbers but at one time abortions where the life (not necessarily health) of the mother was at risk amounted to less than a percent of all abortions. Abortion should not be an alternative to birth control.<br /><br />All that said, I'm not militantly opposed to abortion politically. The important lesson from Heinz-Kerry and Tebow is not whether they 'chose' life or not, but that they trusted God with their decision.Fatha Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763574263631576373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048814.post-7572616770892656092010-02-07T12:23:09.464-08:002010-02-07T12:23:09.464-08:00The whole argument pro-choicers throw out about ri...The whole argument pro-choicers throw out about right of woman to live or die is pure red herring. Most pro-lifers affirm the exception for cases of women whose life is in danger. Problem is that pro-abortionists don't want any restriction on abortions whatsoever, even on issue of abortion practiced purely for birth control or for convenience (hence those like Whoopi Goldberg and Anne Archer can have repeat ones, with remarks like "telling a woman not to have sex is like telling breasts not to grow").<br /><br />And abortion is not women making health decisions only for themselves. They are making the decision for their babies whether they live or die. It's that simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048814.post-39760311075971553362010-02-07T11:56:23.670-08:002010-02-07T11:56:23.670-08:00The issue about the Superbowl ad has absolutely no...The issue about the Superbowl ad has absolutely nothing to do with abortion. It has to do with the refusal to run controversial ads for decades, like the UCC church that welcomed gays. It's a Superbowl policy, it's supposed to be a noncontroversial family event.<br /><br />And by the way, many women with placental abstruction who "choose life", actually die, and the fetus too. It isn't a question of whether they get a football star or serial killer, it's a question of whether the woman gets to live or die. Women have the right to make their own health decisions. It's That Simple. http://www.slate.com//id/2243218Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17786481327825792533noreply@blogger.com
