Um, I think "involuntary suicide" might be considered murder. That's just not a sensible concept.

Interesting that an article with abortion in the title has only 12 comments...oh, it must be because it says that 25% of abortions are done by pill form in the first 9 weeks - instead of giving the impression that MOST abortions are '3rd trimester/'partial birth" abortions that were all usually harangued about

...This kind of thing is our cross to bare...if you wonder why there is only one worker coming up behind four that are retiring after working their life times and social security is broken ...here's your answer...we are destroying generations of Americans... and the future generations that would have cared for their elderly that came before them. The lefts perfect plan to kill off humanity for the good of "Mother Earth" ...

LOL, Timaloha...do your research and stop discriminating against the outraged feminists-, gays and lesbians-, and atheists-for-life! Respect for life is not just a Christian thing, although the media would have you direct your anger at this modern-day scapegoat.

DG6571: POPULATION CONTROL! Something Bible Thumpers know nothing about! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< <<<<<< So why stop at the womb? They're already talking about involuntary suicide. Would you like to be the first? The morals of man are decreasing rapidly. It's only going to lead to the destruction of man. A New World Order is on the way. They will be decreasing the population against your will.http://New-World-Order.itrustgodonly.com - http://death-camps.itrustgodonly.com

God speaking to Jeremiah, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Jeremiah 1: 5. Through out the Bible it says that God forms the child in the womb. So, what gives people the right to kill a human being that God forms in the womb?
