Why should I respond to something you make up about me.
Here is the issue:
1) You cannot foist your faith onto another in the USA.
2) If one is a pregnant woman in the USA then she is a citizen and has right to to her own health choices. It is none of your business. Libertarians get this idea and I think most citizens. Do you want govt managing your health issues?
3) Are you willing as pro life person willing to give her education, health care and child care (for this child you want so badly to enter this world). If so then you are truly pro life. As I hear it you do you do not want any of these program.
Why should my tax dollars go to funding abortions? Does that not violate my views?
My argument has nothing to do with religion being forced on these women.
I have two principles:
1.) The biological reality of the unborn child's identity. Every embryology textbook that is used today acknowledges that the human organism that emerges from fertilization is a living member of the human species.
2.) My 2nd argument is about justice and equality. The idea that all human beings deserve equal protection under the law. If you're going to exclude an entire segment of the human family from this section of the law because they're small, dependent or biologically immature, or temporarily incapable of certain kinds of high level biological functioning...that's an injustice of the highest order. A lethal form of discrimination.
This argument does not require me to be a theist of any kind.
It's a human rights issue.
I don't believe any institution such as planned parenthood should receive taxpayer funding as a mandatory legal principle. Tax payers shouldn't be required to hand over money to an organization that is the largest purveyor of abortion in America.
You believe that aborting a baby is a betterment for the life of women.
You believe it's not a life in the womb.
Why you hold these thoughts despite you at some point fitting this criteria is beyond me.
If it's going to be an economic burden on the woman, there are a lot of people like me who would gladly help her out. There are charities that exist for people like this and if you know of anybody I'm happy to give her some money.
