Predictions and such, I suppose.

the government has the right to take a woman's life?

yeah, if the woman's life is in danger then i absolutely think it's justified. if i was in that position where it's my baby's life or my wife's...yeah that would be a really hard choice, but it should still be our choice, not the governments.

the government gets to choose that my wife should die?


i think the best thing the government can do is stay out of personal lives. they don't honestly care what happens in that situation. they don't care about my wife, my child, or me. they don't have to deal with after effects of all that either. how can someone who doesn't know me, my family, or our situation make a decision like that for me? that's crazy to me.

The government isn't taking away the woman's life, her medical condition is. The government is not killing you by telling you that you can't kill a baby.

Your wife does not have a 100% chance of dying by delivering the baby. Nor does having the abortion mean that she's going to have a 100% chance of survival. I'm pretty sure the baby has a 100% chance of dying by cracking its skull and sucking its brains out.

Two wrongs do not make a right. In fact, unless your wife was raped (which in that case, what took you so long to decide to abort?), there's only one wrong being committed here: the partial birth abortion. If two wrongs don't make a right, how does one wrong make a right? I really don't follow the logic.

I'm with you that the consequences might suck, but that doesn't make it morally justifiable.

I'm with you though that the government should play less of a part on our personal lives. Obama doesn't seem to agree. He's pro gun control, pro public health care, all in all, bigger government and higher taxes.
