[politics] why I support Roe v. Wade

[juldea]

This hits me hard.


When you're done with that and are feeling really weighed down with serious thoughts, try this instead:

Bush was asked how he felt about Roe Vs. Wade.
He smirked and said "I don't care how the poor black people choose to get out of New Orleans."

Under this proposal, in a sense, she HAS chosen to give up her rights voluntarily. It's not 3rd preganacy, its third time choosing abortion. If you grew up as a woman, knowing its 3 strikes and no more, the 3rd decision to have an abortion is just that, have the kid or voluntarily give up ever having a kid. Note, I'm not requiring she keep the kid (adoption), just if you have 3 abortions, you are either highly reckless, or have no intentions of bringing a child to term. Incidentally, a woman who undergoes this, could still adopt a child later. Heck, I choose 3 due to the fact that human error and unwilling pregnancies do occur. But at the same time, I just feel that unlimited abortions encourages potentially reckless behavior. Either way, the woman still has a choice, just the choice has more far reaching personal consequences.
