As has been alluded to in this thread, because of my other thread, I believe in reincarnation. I have a "memory" of my daughter being my mother, straddled with 13 kids. I don't blame her for wanting to see the world, have a career, and to be able to buy a suede leather sofa is she wants!
I'll be fine without grand kids.
My business if kid stuff and kid parties, so I'm set!

Hell no. .. Have a look at China.
That is where this is leading.
From the looks of it you will be required to get a certification just to have "A" child.

An uninvited soul forcing itself on an unwilling host is an evil and unholy alliance, in my opinion.

Well someone has to do something. People can't continue having children at the rate they're having them. It's as simple as that, and is the biggest elephant in the room regarding our present society. Really no one talks about it. People are going around having three, four, five kids and in a planetary way, this is not responsible.
People are raised to want children and told they should have children. Reducing our sheer numbers would literally reduce every single one of our problems as humans, since the very fact that there are so many of us is what makes most of our problems.
People maybe shouldn't be forced to not have children, but this society needs to stand up and teach new generations that that WE DO NOT NEED THIS MANY PEOPLE HERE!
I've done my part. I'm gay and will not be having children (huge perk I see it as!)

Your post reflects what the argument is really about. It is not about abortion or when life begins or ends anymore. Most women do not like it and have never had it done and it is law. Now the argument is about at what point does another person tell a woman when her right to decisions about her well being ends.
You're wrong- a lot of people in the US government want it because it increases sales for corporations, and it's an attempt to keep republicans in office by guaranteeing there will be lots of poor, uneducated fools to vote for them.

Why are right wingers supposedly small government until it becomes convenient to be otherwise?

The religious rights will have a hart attack if the western world even think about legislating for population control, after all, without new births who is going to pay for the churches CEOs I mean the religious leaders lavish palaces and fancy mega churches, heck not they can never allow that.
Is all about money, churches profit from their members just like private interest do, they are after all corporations and they don't have to pay taxes like the rest of us.

A growing baby inside a womans body is an independent life form hosted' by the mother. Why do so many women claim it is their body, they are the host, the baby is a seperate entity and should have a right to life. Why do so many women not take a morning after pill or terminate the pregnancy as soon as they find out they are pregnant. Some leave it weeks before taking action and this is just awful. Take responsibility in life. If you do not want to have a baby, use protection!!! If the protection fails, terminate as soon as you realise dont leave it weeks like a lot of women do. It is not your body, it is a babys body and you have no right to kill a baby, especially when you have created that babys life. This is just awful. Really truly awful. Killing unborn babys that share your DNA. Im not totally against abortion as I know there are situations when this is probably required but the lack of responsibility modern society has is just mind blowing.
