10 Questions A Pro-Choice Candidate Is Never Asked.

Interesting: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2012/11/02/christian-blogger-publishes-10-questions-pro-choice-candidate-never-as

Excellent questions for pro-choice people that are of course never asked:

1. You say you support a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices in regards to abortion and contraception. Are there any restrictions you would approve of?

2. In 2010, The Economist featured a cover story on “the war on girls” and the growth of “gendercide” in the world – abortion based solely on the sex of the baby. Does this phenomenon pose a problem for you or do you believe in the absolute right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy because the unborn fetus is female?

3. In many states, a teenager can have an abortion without her parents’ consent or knowledge but cannot get an aspirin from the school nurse without parental authorization. Do you support any restrictions or parental notification regarding abortion access for minors?

4. If you do not believe that human life begins at conception, when do you believe it begins? At what stage of development should an unborn child have human rights?

5. Currently, when genetic testing reveals an unborn child has Down Syndrome, most women choose to abort. How do you answer the charge that this phenomenon resembles the “eugenics” movement a century ago – the slow, but deliberate “weeding out” of those our society would deem “unfit” to live?

6. Do you believe an employer should be forced to violate his or her religious conscience by providing access to abortifacient drugs and contraception to employees?

7. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. has said that “abortion is the white supremacist’s best friend,” pointing to the fact that Black and Latinos represent 25% of our population but account for 59% of all abortions. How do you respond to the charge that the majority of abortion clinics are found in inner-city areas with large numbers of minorities?

8. You describe abortion as a “tragic choice.” If abortion is not morally objectionable, then why is it tragic? Does this mean there is something about abortion that is different than other standard surgical procedures?

9. Do you believe abortion should be legal once the unborn fetus is viable – able to survive outside the womb?
10. If a pregnant woman and her unborn child are murdered, do you believe the criminal should face two counts of murder and serve a harsher sentence?

11. Do you believe Govt's responsibility is to protect innocent human life or aid in destroying it?

Excellent points.

I am wondering why anti-abortion advocates believe that prochaoice advocates have never thought about these questions.....

Yes, aborion laws need to be revised. Yes, abortion laws can be taken too far.

None of the questions above address the reason abortion needs to remain legal; rape, incest, inability to raise a child in a world that does not value children outside the womb.

Who has determined the above "reason" you point out?
Who has determined this is "a world that does not value children outside the womb"? this appears to fit any person who desires an abortion for their own reason, not that of the child.

As usual you and the world speak with one voice,your reasons are idiotic liberal nonsense,rape and incest count for less than 1 percent of abortions,inability to raise a child ? don't make one then,a world that does not value children outside the womb ? coming from one who supports killing them in a brutal fashion inside the womb....another masterpeice Aspen

Adoption is a viable alternative for most of Aspen's exceptions.

Aspen loves his neighbor by making sure he has a rich and rewarding sin experience with as few consequences as possible,making his path to Hell as easy as possible.

Abortion laws need reform. I never said that abortion is good. I never said that the majority of people get abortions because they were victims of raped or incest. I said that abortion needs to remain legal and restricted for the small percentage of people that Strat is comfortable dismissing.

As far as adoption - prism are you willing to adopted a bi-racial child with fetal alcohol syndrome and born with an addiction to meth? How about a baby of your choice - it will cost you 20 to 45,000 dollars depending on where you decide to adopt. Are you willing to wait 1 to 5 years? Will you adopt more than one child? How about raising your new baby for two years and giving him or her back to the birth mother who now believes she is the best choice to parent the child?

Oh, and then there is the endless paperwork, scrutiny from social workers, and home studies......

Perhaps you are one of the few people who are willing to endure the red tape involved in the average adoption - most people are not.

Sincere reformation of abortion starts with reformation of adoption laws, along with a willingness to bring an unwanted child into the home. People who want other people to change their behavior without lifting a finger are not serious about change - all they want is to sit in the seat of judgment.

So your answer is... kill the children???

So your answer is... kill the children???

I could turn that right back around and ask you "so your answer is to let unwanted to children live in homeless, drug addicted, abusive homes? How about as wards of the state? How about allowing children to be born who are only going to live a short, painful life for a year or two?"

Have you worked with children who are unwanted? Even in the best of circumstances, these children live a painful life. Pile on retardation, drug addiction, and/or abuse and it becomes unbearable.

It is easy to advocate for a fetus - not so easy to advocate for a child. How sad it is for us to condemn those who end a pregnancy, and then cry out against services that serve children, calling it 'big government'

Save the fetus! Defund public schools!

That's how I read Aspen. Convenience over life.

That is not Aspen's answer.

That's how I read Aspen. Convenience over life.

You misread. Society doesn't give enough support for those who choose not to kill their baby. That is Aspen's point.

 

[aspen]

That is too bad that you cannot see past your prejudice to read what I actually wrote, prism. You can lead a horse to water....

Thanks for underlining my point, Kepha31. Abortion is an ugly sin, which will not go away until we address the real issues in our country. Outlawing the sinking of ships would not have saved the Titanic, either.

In fact, outlawing abortion would actually restrict abortion to the rich, who would run to another country to get their abortions - how ironic, since the rich can afford to raise their children.

Again, your answer is to keep abortion legal.
