Ask the question another way; do you think the issue of the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness should be a choice control by the law of the US constitution or by another individual. The law of one nation under God. Is that liberty and justice for all. I do not see that as equal protection under the law for unborn son's and daughter's There in no historical context in the debates of framers of the constitution to support the idea that a mother has the right to murder her innocent unborn son or daughter for convince.

>> Ask the question another way; do you think the issue of abortion as it relates to women's health should be a choice control by the government or the individual? What I think isn't really material. I'm sort of moderate on the issue but I do know that abortion has been used by some women as a primary birth control method. I think that is wrong when something approaching half the population believes it is killing babies. I can respect that view, and there is no sense to allow it. When I was young I knew many women/girls who had abortions, and I never once condemned anyone for it. But today, we have plenty of alternatives. In effect, the abortion as a birth control alternative is an outmoded, unnecessary procedure being pushed only by providers of that service. As a birth control method, abortion fails miserably compared with other methods in terms of safety, cost, and long-term potential negative effects. Just on the facts, there is no medical justification for general use of abortion as a birth control method. The use of abortion in this way ranks, in my mind, with using plastic surgery to install fat-assed lips on women's faces, extreme surgeries in an effort to emulate Barbie's look, other outrageous surgical treatments that are simply unnecessary. To your point above, I believe we should do everything possible to discourage young women from relying on abortion as birth control. Having known many women who had abortions at some point, I believe an inordinate number are affected emotionally by the process, and that is not healthy, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
