I don't consider a baby a "punishment" any more than I consider a gut a "punishment" for eating fatty foods. I consider it a consequence. In fact, I would suggest that a majority of people would call a baby, any baby, a blessing, not a punishment.
second- it is not a child- it is a fetus. It can not think, speak, or have any intilectual brain waves. so i really do not feel bad if it is aborted.
Before the partial birth abortion ban was put into effect, which almost as liberals cite as being Unconsitutional, babies could be aborted in the third trimester, and at points way later than some premature babies are birthed. It doesn't have brain waves? You might want to read up on that guy, babies spend an awful lot of time dreaming. I would call that brainwaves. Speaking is not a prerequesite for life, since the biological makeup of the womb obviously prevents any air from passing over the vocal chords.
third- i have to thank you for being a good debater against me, and really debating. Many people get pissed off, and start screaming at me.
Honestly cannot tell if this is sarcasm or not, so I will accept it as not and say thank you.
fourth- Once again....it is the mothers body, not yours. do not preach to her on what she should do with HER body
I don't consder a fetus to be HER body. I consider it to be a resident of her womb, but the fact remains that I consider it to be a different life. Therefore I am not telling her what to do with HER body, I am telling her what she cannot do with her baby's body. No different than laws against child abuse.
