(28,784 posts)If someone has strong opinions about abortion because of religion - then let them practice those beliefs. However, DO NOT TRY TO FORCE YOUR RELIGION ON OTHERS.
There is no logic behind the idea of "pro-life" as it is practiced in the U.S.
Those who are "pro-life" need to, frankly, SHUT THE FUCK UP and put your time and energy into making this nation a place that makes it possible for a single mother to exist without falling into a lifetime of poverty - because THAT'S what they are thrusting upon most women with this stance.
Since these clumps of fetal tissue are aborted naturally, every day, far more often than any baby is ever born, it DISGUSTS me to see people who would force birth upon anyone who is not capable of giving birth for whatever reason.
We have legal limits to abortion that consider the issue of viability. If this is not enough for some people - they need to understand that they are extremists. They do not speak for the majority of Americans and the sooner they stop getting air time on national tv to spout religious nonsense, the better off we'll all be.
