Providing financially is a huge part of being a parent. Child support bills can be absolutely draining on a parent just scraping by.
clearly, civility desn't appear in your bag of tricks, does it ?
I'm not interested in what you find 'offensive'.
not always and in this country, we aim to protect the rights of the 'few'.

forcing anyone to perform against their will is victimizing them.
First of all, pregnancy (with the exception of rape) is a result of conscious decisions.
hint: forcing anyone against their will is simply, UnAmerican ... let alone victimizing.
If forcing others to respect the rights of others is victimizing them, then so be it. Murderers and rapists will deal.
soooo, you're suggesting women who have abortions don't receive counseling first ??

Bottom line:
It is not your, mine, or anyone else's business what other people do with their body.
It is especially not the right of the Govt. to have any say in the matter.
Then why do we have suicide prevention hotlines and rehab centers?
for the same reasons children are exluded from bars, porn and dancing girls

Thy didn't care that my 4 year old niece saw those pictures. They claim to be pro child yet they show pictures of fetuses to children.
Why would children seeing those pictures even be an issue at all if abortion was perfectly acceptable and not immoral at all? Children also see graphic pictures in their history books.
I am morally against abortion. I think if a woman is raped, involved in incest, or is in severe medical danger, she should absolutely be able to have an abortion.
what 'choice' ??
What happens to the child's choice?

Because you seem intent on just shutting everyone up who does not agree with you.
Please do not put words in my mouth.
I am not for "risky and dirty" anything.
I'm for - not doing it at all.
I have a right to my opinion, just as you do to yours.
My opinion may be based partly on faith, but I am not in any way a religious zealot.
I do feel a strong moral obligation to protect those who can not protect themselves.
The problem is - somehow people have lost some of their morality today.
Morality does not have to be based on faith.
Morality has a deeper, underlying, basic, humanity-based reality of what is right and wrong.
i didn't.
Please do not put words in my mouth.
if you are not in favor of access to clean and safe abortions, then you are.
I am not for "risky and dirty" anything.
and that's your choice, who are you to make it for anyone else ?
I'm for - not doing it at all.
fabulous ... there are plenty of living people/children who could benefit from the help.
I do feel a strong moral obligation to protect those who can not protect themselves

The term "Pro-choice" is an attempt to water down the reality.
What happens to the child's choice?
Consultation and Referral Services for women up to 32 weeks for medically necessary termination of pregnancy. The abortion process cannot occur in the State of Florida due to Florida Statutes that prohibit abortion beyond a certain number of weeks as is the case in the majority of States.
