How have they been debunked? Because Planned Parenthood and 'progressives' who support eugenics say they are? The videos speak for themselves. Selling fetal body parts is also illegal and doesn't stop them from doing it, the abortion industry and I mean INDUSTRY has almost zero oversight or regulation.
they've been debunked by the courts.
what court case?

I don't support eugenics and yeah pretty sure those videos were debunked or at least initially taken out of context in some way if I recall. Also though I haven't seen evidence Planned Parenthood selling fetal body parts...who are they selling them to? what are they used for?.
Also if it was almost zero over-sight it would be an entirely unregulated illegal industry as you call it, It has to be done by a medical professional who's had training, late term abortions are not allowed outside of cases of medical emergencies in most places, there is a limit on how far along you can have an abortion. Nothing you've said backs your claim there is 'zero' oversight, its just not the oversight you like.

Perhaps you're not a true progressive then Sweetleaf

Watch the videos for yourself, how are they debunked? Did those people not say what they say or not work for Planned Parenthood? They have the full unedited videos too, nothing was debunked. To say they were debunked seems like dismissing something that you don't want to argue about which I understand it is indefensible what they did. Look up the perfectly reasonable regulations Texas wanted to put on abortion clinics which included ER admitting privileges at hospital within 30 miles and that abortion clinics meet the standards of ambulatory surgical centers. Are those unreasonable, are those undue burdens? Those were fought tooth and nails, look at the partial-birth abortion debate which last a long long time and how the abortionists fought to keep that practice going which they preformed thousands of every year. This late term ban has only been around for short amount of time, since 2007 I think so obviously it was something the abortion industry which is unregulated dragged their feet on. Look at Kermit Kosnell and what he did in Philadelphia, it is sickening. The abortion industry fights any regulation put upon it, they want to be a well oiled killing machine.

And what makes you think that? Its not a fun procedure at all, it's painful and you have to take a bunch of medication afterwards because its pretty hard on the body, not to mention I am pretty sure they cost money. Why would a woman get pregnant just so she can undergo an abortion?
Perhaps there are one or two women that stupid in the world who have been misinformed about abortion and think it's like a vacation with added pampering, but certainly not enough to be statistically relevant.
abortion at 6 - 8 weeks isn't hard on the body and there are no meds to take. it doesn't hurt during the procedure and only has cramping after if you've been pregnant before.
many women don't "choose" to become pregnant. perfectly used birth control fails. some folks don't understand birth control well enough to use it properly. many young people believe "it couldn't happen to me." rape happens. these are just a few of the reasons women need abortions.
later term abortions only happen when the fetus is not likely to be viable outside the wound. later term abortions are less safe.
a good novel that covers all sides of the abortion issue is pattersosn's "protect and defend."
Yes it is, hard on the body early on the procedure involves taking various medications with unpleasant side effects, aside from cramping and whilst there might not always be health complications it's still a painful unpleasant process. If those drugs don't complete the abortion than surgery is necessary...I've never heard someone say surgery is gentle on the body.

I have not heard many people claim the government should pay for all birth control and abortions...if people do think that I can't say I entirely agree.
So basically you think if a woman gets pregnant and doesn't want a kid they can't take care of....it's wrong of her to get an abortion regardless of how early she gets it? You do realize the alternative is forcing one to undergo pregnancy and childbirth against their will.....what are they going to do put pregnant woman who want an abortion in holding cells to make sure they don't try and seek out an improper/illegal abortion or do unhealthy practices in an attempt to cause them-self to miscarriage? I can see having a problem with late term abortions outside medical emergency ...but making abortion in general illegal across the board I think will cause many more problems than it would solve.
Also my second paragraph is not being silly...there are groups who want to go as far as banning things like the morning after pill due to it being a type of abortion.
What I believe is that it is pretty easy to not get pregnant when the proper precautions are taken and that ending a human life is wrong, I believe in personal responsibility for one's own actions and like how a man is held legally responsible for the welfare his children so should a mother with her unborn child. I do not believe we have to punish the mothers so much but rather the doctors who do the actual killing. I believe the vast majority of women who have gotten abortions would not of gotten them had it not been legal to do so, I do not believe the vast majority of doctors would of preform abortions if the medical licenses were put at stake and maybe even liability so we're really only worried about a very small amount of people that want to kill their child above all else. The tales of women that died from 'back-alley' abortions was wildly overstated and fell like a rock once things like antibiotics and birth control were invented, it's minuscule when compared to the number of babies murdered every year because of Roe V. Wade which is over 50 million since 1972.
Something else I really am uncomfortable is the prenatal screening of certain defects because I don't think it is right to make a quality of life assessment for someone especially someone that is even born and we should all know the second they can screen for autism that it will begin a mass-genocide of abortion for those on spectrum. Euthanasia is eugenics, look at what they are doing in Belgium where they are no killing the mentally ill. This should not be given any medical legitimacy, it violate the oath I believe that they all swear upon.
Provided birth control methods work, it is easy not to get pregnant...however the pill(birth control and the morning after pill) can fail, condoms can break, and If that happens to someone who has no means to care for a child and cannot afford a pregnancy shouldn't they have the option to terminate cells or an embryo that may or may not even develop into a baby. I can agree with a limit on how long one can wait to get an abortion but I cannot agree with making it illegal.
Not to mention if it's illegal for doctors to preform abortions what happens if a woman is raped, or its a medical emergency where the pregnancy may kill the mother? A doctor would have to risk their entire career to help a woman in that situation.
Also of course if abortion is legal less women will get them, some probably rationalize having a baby is better than prison,less people in colorado smoked pot when it was illegal.
I think getting an abortion as soon as possible if you know you don't have the means to care for a child, and no way to even afford the medical care pregnant women undergo is a reflection of personal responsibility, especially considering I smoke cigarettes. It would be very irresponsible of me not to get an abortion if contraception or the morning after pill didn't work. Is the government going to pay my medical bills and find a caring home for my hypothetical baby?
One could say 'oh just quit smoking' well its a nasty addiction, I'd probably need some form of nicotine to reduce cravings for cigarettes...any nicotine can cause birth defects not just if you smoke it. Not to mention I am sure my mental health team would advise me against childbirth, I've gotten more stable mentally but I am advised to be careful of too much stress to avoid more episodes of 'I want to kill myself' depression I am sure pregnancy fits that category of stress.
There's adoption.
Have people forgotten? Abortion was not always legal and the world still turned. It would go back to the way it was. And I'm tired of people demeaning a baby by calling it cells, but say whatever you have to just so that you can get sleep at night.

You do realize women still found ways to end their own pregnancies even in ancient times.
Women who do not want to be pregnant will find away to rid themselves of the fetus to the point of putting their own lives in danger.
In many families and societies, parents will make their pregnant children have an abortion (illegal or not), if they disapprove of who the father/mother will be.
If said child says no, then the parents cut all ties with them and/or do something far worse to "rid" their family of the disgrace.
This is quite common in the U.S. as well.
Even if said woman has the child and puts it up for adoption, the emotional and mental damage is done that no amount of medication and therapy can correct.
Her family may cut all ties with her for bring dishonor and disgrace to them for allowing that child to exist.
It's also quite shameful in most countries and societies (including the U.S.), if you give your child up for adoption.
Many employers will fire you if they find out you put your child up for adoption, just as many will do the same if they find out about abortions (they just can't list that as the reason for termination).
Hell plenty of women get demoted and/or fired in the U.S. and most developed countries for getting pregnant and having children (Even if they give that kid up for adoption).
It's illegal to do it, but companies still do it but the burden of proof is on the woman.
Society still punishes women for getting pregnant, married and having kids.
As for the U.S. adoption system, more kids enter the system each year than there are adoptions each year in each state.
The majority of kids in the U.S. that are put up for adoption in the U.S. never get adopted and stay in the system until adulthood.
The tax payers foot the bill for the whole system.

Have people forgotten? Abortion was not always legal and the world still turned. It would go back to the way it was. And I'm tired of people demeaning a baby by calling it cells, but say whatever you have to just so that you can get sleep at night.

And what about medical/hospital bills from treatment during pregnancy and giving birth? Also I understand a lot of hormonal changes and stress happen during pregnancy, some people have mental disorders that make that rather dangerous. Also what about people who use nicotine and can't immediately quit? Adoption does not address any of those things. The morning after pill is a good option, but they haven't come up with anything that prevents pregnancy in 100% of cases...the best option seems to be limit how late you can have an abortion.
It's not what helps me sleep at night it's science:
At fertilization, the sex of the fetus is already determined, depending on whether the egg receives an X or Y chromosome from a sperm cell. If the egg receives an X chromosome, the baby will be a girl; a Y chromosome means the baby will be a boy.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, it takes about three to four days for the fertilized egg (or embryo) to move to the lining of the uterus, where it attaches or implants to the uterine wall. Once the embryo is implanted, the cells start to grow eventually becoming the fetus and the placenta, which is tissue that can transport oxygen, nutrients and hormones from the mother's blood to the developing fetus throughout pregnancy.
- See more at: http://www.livescience.com/44899-stages ... yxVZq.dpuf
Though I will agree if states all just made their own laws maybe it would be better...sometimes that is the solution to so much disagreement. It would be nice if everything I agree with was on the same page as the Federal Government, but that's not going to happen for any of us.
Actually, I was just reading about some prescription drugs that are extremely bad for a fetus and one shouldn't get pregnant if they are on them. If you decide to take these drugs, you must also use 2 forms of birth control.
Also, you are just a bunch of cells that keep regenerating. Does that mean you are nothing too?
http://www.livescience.com/33179-does-h ... years.html
I didn't say it is 'nothing' but in the early stages between the sperm and egg meeting and the development into a fetus, it is essentially a clump of cells. As can be seen in the text and link I posted that you must have ignored:
The cells aren't a sentient human being before they even so much as become a fetus no matter how you slice it.
And again how does adoption address medical costs of pregnancy/giving birth, fetal damage nicotine can do, risk of slipping into a mental health crisis due to hormonal changes/instability? Do you just think those things don't exist?

How is a clump of cells that may or may not turn into a sentient human being a person? I mean say abortions were only allowed until the minute the clump of cells becomes a fetus. Can you really say that is the exact same thing as indiscriminately killing unwanted 'babies'? More than half of abortions take place within the first 8 weeks also, Adoption alone is not a solution for unwanted pregnancy.
50 million people...by that I imagine you mean aborted organisms, considering late term abortions aren't common practice sentiment I disagree with.
Also using contraceptives and having them fail, and the morning after pill not working is not a 'mistake' on anyone's part, its a problem where the responsible solution isn't always to drop everything and have a baby especially if you can barely afford your own existence.
Is the government going to financially support the mother and father if the father is unable to work enough to sustain he and her through the pregnancy and keep up on bills like rent, utilities, food ect? Can the nation afford that kind of welfare program?
I would get an abortion for a lot more resons than the fact I smoke
-me and my boyfriend just barely afford a place to live, utilities, food(though I am still usually hungry) and our separate bills so no way to afford medical costs of pregnancy or childbirth
-we don't want a child
-the risk of relapse into a mental health crisis
-concerns that I am too underweight/not healthy enough to undergo pregnancy without health complications aside from the mental health concerns.
We use condoms when we have sex, if it broke I would use the morning after pill....I'd only get an abortion if the morning after pill worked which can occur though its rare. If it were outlawed I imagine I could find some info on herbs that can help induce a miscarrige/terminate pregnancy but I doubt that will occur.
[/quote]I believe health and rape are legitimate exceptions to end pregnancy and the sooner the better, I would limit the time as well. It would be as simple as it being signed off by a doctor or two so there shouldn't be a logistics problem, I believe some states already have some form of this on the books. Financial reasons shouldn't be considered, we have to find a way and I would trade a lot so it wouldn't be an issue. I'd rather help support someone raise child than to drop bombs on children in other countries, we have really screwed up priorities in this country.
I don't believe abortions should take place outside of a hospital, not these unregulated clinics that don't even have admitting privileges at the closest emergency rooms. It should be done by real medical professions in a real medical setting.[/quote]
It probably should be done by real medical professionals in a hospital....however that requires hospitals allow the procedure to take place there.

dilation and extraction is a minor surgical procedure and is what i'm referring to as no big deal. you are describing abortion by meds, which i wasn't taking into account.

I looked for it, court case and Planned Parenthood brings me to a SCOTUS case from like 1992. Planned Parenthood v. Casey, where is the debunking case? I seriously can't find it, I looked!

That doesn't "debunk" the videos in any way, they just don't like how they made the video but it's no different than any undercover investigative journalism. There seems to be questions about the DAs relationship and communication with Planned Parenthood, I don't expect any charges to stick.
