| I'm an RN. Have worked in clinics and emergency rooms for years. The reason we need universal health care is that right now the system is irreparably broken, unsustainable, and skewed towards those with money, while those without suffer. That may be the eternal condition, but we have the means to ch... |

| [quote="Moviefan2k4]Unless a woman was raped, she made her choice by willing having sex. As a nurse, you must know about tons of cases where condoms or spermicides failed. The only 100% foolproof method is not allowing sperm-ovum contact to begin with. What people do behind closed doors in their ow... |

| While I'm still not in agreement about the baby being a parasite - as the baby is part of the mother, and not some alien latching onto a human being for sustenance - I am in agreement with you otherwise. This is one of those situations where you have to have been a pregnant woman to understand. As ... |

| I am a mother. I am also a registered nurse. While saying a fetus is comparable to a parasite may be harsh, it is also correct. My children were wanted. That makes all the difference in the world when a woman is pregnant. Forcing a woman to give birth to a child she does not want is cruel, stupid, a... |

| Unassailable logic: condoms are cheaper than eighteen years of TANF and WIC. |

| Yes, because nothing guarantees a happy childhood like being born to a woman who doesn't want to be a mother (and possibly a father who doesn't either). |

| Hating men as a group isn't feminism. It's sexism. Agreed 100%. Unfortunately, it seems the majority of "radical feminists" don't want men having any input regarding causes they support. Women like that usually spew nonsense like "your opinion on abortion doesn't matter, because you'll never be pre... |

| I am just wondering I know feminism is originally for gender equalitly between men and women and understand women get discrimintated agains by men as well as the other way around but am not sure if they recognize that though and sometimes I think they just hate men I hope I am wrong on this. If I a... |

| I believe the indisputable fact that you cannot get pregnant means your opinion on this subject means dick. So keep yours in your pants and you won't have to worry about abortion. I have zero interest in what some guy who's never going to be pregnant thinks. This is an ad hominem argument. One's ab... |

I'm a registered nurse who (a) worked for Planned Parenthood for a number of years early in my career and (b) currently work the emergen... |

Everybody agrees that it is morally and legally wrong to kill another person, therefor to justify it you have to strip that person of their humanity and ... |

| If all of you would mind your own business, you wouldn't be all stressed about why women make decisions that are their own (and not yours) to make. If people see abortion as murder then they shouldn't be expected to mind their own business. They don't believe that taking an innocent life should be ... |

| Kurgan and Jacoby: how many times have either of you been pregnant? None. This doesn't give you the right to kill anyone for doing something you yourself did for nine months. Killing an annoying neighbor isn't ethical either, nor is killing a university professor that teaches a subject you have to ... |
