Republicans push for an amendment that would ban abortion; even if the woman is raped

Really China is the model to follow? So we should force women to have abortions, and abort all the female fetuses so we have an imbalance of men and women?

WTF, again your thinking in extremes that the only two views on abortion are abortion is ok no matter what, or ban abortion with no exceptions.

Yeah because a rapist is going to take the time to put on a condom and choose a victim that has been on the pill. Get real!

Actually you are wrong. There are three views. However the third view is so extreme nobody agrees with it. MysteryColors views are not extreme, they are neutral. Pro-Choice is a neutral view, it gives the option of having an abortion or not having one, it is not forcing anything upon anyone. Your view of making abortions illegal so that no woman can have an abortion is one extreme side of the view. The opposite extreme view would be to make every woman have an abortion, but it is so crazy nobody agrees with it. But that's the fact that you and others won't bring up. Our view for Pro-Choice is a neutral view, it's not extreme, it's right down the middle.
