Typical TBD Guy Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 What is "extreme" about her position on abortion? 224221[/snapback] She is not opposed to late-term abortions and getting abortions without parental consent. Those are widely considered to be extreme points of view on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are widely considered to be extreme points of view on this subject. 224247[/snapback] I think you forgot the important part when you said "not opposed to late-term abortions." The full sentence reads "She is not opposed to late-term abortions where the life of the mother is in jeopardy." She, like most Democrats, supports a ban on late-term abortion provided it allows for the protection of the mother's health. She also believes in parental notification, but again knows there should be exceptions. That's extreme? It's like saying someone who supports banning carry permits for RPG's is "extreme anti-gun."

Not everyone is as fortunate as most of us who grew up in an environment where they are given proper supervision and education on how to be responsible people.

But if she supports part-term/late-term abortion for reasons outside the woman's health, then yes that is extreme. And if she is against parental notification for reasons beyond parent-child incest and such, then yes that is extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a great way to show us how government run health care works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those areas is manifest by the number of abotions carried out every year. I think it's unreasonable to think that abortion could be erradicated completely, but I think the problem could be dramatically impacted if people would take more responsibility for their actions. As far as the legality of abortion, it's very difficult for me to have a well-defined position. I am not a woman and I will never be in their position. Beyond the issue of legality, it breaks my heart to think that there are so many unwanted pregnancies in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
