So much for free speech. The left hate it when you express an opinion that they don't agree with and want to shut you up. Don't agree? Just look at the comments on my posts :-)
A pro-abortion Nebraska man upset that pro-life advocates were lining the streets of this eastern city drove his vehicle on the sidewalk and nearly came in contact with participants. The pro-life people were participating the in the annual Life Chain, silently holding pro-life signs opposing abortion.Rex Peterson, 25, faces charges of terroristic threats after attacking the pro-life advocates with his vehicle.

ellen, you defined yourself as pro-abortion in an earlier thread. do you stand by that definition?
No. YOU chose to label me as something that I don't agree with. That's your deal, not mine.
In the case of a medical emergency that endangers the mother's life, that's not a decision, that's a necessity.
"I would support abortion in the case where the life or health of the mother is involved... I would not prevent abortion in the case of rape or incest."
your words: you support abortion. you're pro-abortion.
or if you agree, as i think that most of us do, that while no abortion is desirable, sometimes it is the best choice according to the woman making it, then i think that you're supporting her right to chose.
in the case of a medical emergency that endangers the mother's life, there is still a choice. it's always a choice and never an easy one to make.
at any rate, it is not for me or you to eliminate any woman's rights over her own body, including the right to abort an unborn fetus.
Anonymouse, you amaze me...then again...not.
MzEllen plays the word game, but I suspect she is like most pro-lifers. They are pro-life until it starts to cost them some money.
Somebody has just proven themselves incapable of investigating possibilities before "suspecting".
If you all want to have a rational conversation, perhaps Michele will approve my previous comment.
Again, I'd prefer to converse with folks who don't need to confuse a medical emergency with a woman who reserves the "right" to elect a non-emergency abortion at any time during her pregnancy for any reason.
But you are either not capable of such nuance to choose not to attempt the thought.
If a person supports the right of a woman to abort her child for any reason, at any time...that is pro-abortion.
That is a definition I'll stick with and it's one that fits Obama.
I am intellectually honest, perhaps you are upset because I do not pander to your inaccurate characterization of me?
That's wonderful that your friend found solace after her ordeal in choosing to continue her pregnancy. I support her choice wholeheartedly. But it is fallacious to assume that your friend represents the feelings of EVERY woman who suffers a rape and would find the same relief in carrying the fetus to term. The same with your friend with the one-night stand.
Your personal experiences do not equal an objective world view, they do not pertain to everyone. You are not gatekeeper of morality. Leave that to God, He is better suited for it.
Women own their bodies and therefore have the only say in what they do with it. The fetus is physically dependent on the woman solely for 9 months, months in which she assumes ALL physical risk. Therefore she assumes all choice in the matter.
Just as you are not forced legally to give blood or your organs to a dying/incapacitated individual, neither should a woman be legally forced to have another individual use her organs for months.
How many children have you adopted, MzEllen?
