My understanding is that if it does get overturned - abortions will become illegal - I thought that was the whole issue - please explain why not.

Seeking an abortion at the age of 21, McCorvey made up a story that she had been raped.

Gee whiz, liberal lefty lawyers wouldn't support her committing purgery to argue for an abortion would they???? {sarcasm}

yeah, we ought to leave exceptions in when we get it overturned.....NOT!!!!!

Parker will present affidavits from more than 1,000 women who testify having an abortion has had devastating emotional, physical and psychological effects.

Let your voice be heard!

Women who have had an abortion (post-abortive women) can help by speaking out against the harmful effects of abortion and saving lives by filling out an affidavit form.

The face of NOW the day after it's overturned

Errm, that's the Face of NOW even today.

What to do with in vitro fetuses in the freezer? As much as I abhor abortion, the argument that there is psychological and physical harm due to discarding them is missing because the child is already out of the mother. There is no abortion to perform.

Then there are abortive reduction procedures subsequent to augmented egg release and artificial insemination. Sometimes they remove as many as six fetuses that are far too undeveloped for our ability to carry them to term. Will it become illegal to use that procedure to help such women become pregnant? They certainly cannot safely carry all those kids to term.

Questions such as these will continue to pop up because our legal and ethical means of dealing with them so severely lag behind the speed of technical development. Look how long it has taken us to address simple abortions. When gene therapy versus genetic augmentation become more common, we'll have a raft of new procedures that will likely confound our ethical and certainly our legal institutions.

It seems to me that the legal issues surrounding abortion are more symptomatic of a larger ethical problem than they are an end in themselves. Even if Roe is overturned, we are way behind the curve when it comes to dealing with everything from artificial life extension to designer babies.

I watched the ad. The image of the woman bringing her hands to her mouth in "horror" is much more likely to be a genuine reaction to news of a family member having an abortion, than it would be to overturning Roe v. Wade. I think you are exactly right. The ad isn't going to work as NARAL thinks.

I just sent an e-mail to Miss Norma McCorvey...if you want to do the same click here.

Probably one of the best things that could happen is to have this thing overturned in the next session. It would immediately stun the dems. What would they use as a litmus test if Roe v Wade has already been overturned?

The faster Roe gets overturned, the better.

As far as litmus tests go, the dims are getting away with filibustering appointments for no reason at all right now. Sad that conservatives haven't fought hard enough for people like Estrada and Owens and the constitutional principles enabling their appointment by the President.

Amen!

Wonder why she isn't bringing the case to the 9th circuit ?

May God bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand.

The souless ghouls at NARAL actually opposed the "Born Alive Protection Act."

Yep. It demonstrates just how evil they really are. I mean actually evil, as one has to be truly evil to support infanticide, which is clearly what was prohibited by that law.

[Salvation]

Amazing map.

I tried to copy it all, but it wouldn't copy!

This topic is my PASSION. At 19 (I was a screaming Liberal then), I had an abortion too. Not a day of my life passes that I don't think about that dreadful decision I made. It's changed who I am. I've since suffered depression, nightmares and indescribable grief.

AbortionDebate.org is a website/forum that was created for fair & balanced debate on this topic. ALS and I are the founders. We'll be spending some time (the next few days)doing some maintenance on it. Due to time constraints on my part, I've let the board falter. Our intent is to provide an atmosphere that welcomes debate/resources from pro-lifers and pro-choicers, so that INFORMED decisions could be made. We sought pro-choice management to insure fairness. That quest proved to be fruitless. It seemed the very people who are so hellbent on "choice" were extremely intolerant of the LIFE choice.

It's my hope that we can jumpstart this project again, particularly with Norma's new court challenge in the headlines.

I humbly ask for your help/support....and ask that you please register/post/spread the link around. We will also be in need (once again) of pro-choicers on the management team so that they may list and post their opinions/resources un-biasedly. If you are a PCer or know someone who might be interested, please email Webmaster@abortiondebate.org or FReepmail me.

Please note that any broken links on the board are in the process of being repaired.

Thank you,
CBJ

Before Roe vs Wade, there were at least two states that allowed abortions-NY and TX. Women had to travel to these states for abortions. In addition, other states allowed abortions under stricter rules for physical health reasons or severe mental problems. So, before Roe vs. Wade legal abortions were occuring but they were up to the states to decide under what circumstances.

If Roe vs. Wade were overturned the states would still be able to make laws regarding abortion. The most dangerous thing about Roe V wade is that the SC created a concept (privacy) that did not exist in the orginal constitution in order to base its ruiling on. Besides the result being legal abortions, the creation of a new constitutional doctrine will have ramifications on future unrelated issues.

If Roe gets overturned, PRAISE THE LORD, then what happens is it returns the issue to the states, where it always was supposed to be. But perhaps someone can help me out. Does each state just have a vote on whether they want it to be illegal or does the governor decide or how does that work?

[VRWC_minion]

Never happen. Pro-choicers dont' want informed debate because they only have fallacies to support their view. At some point the pro-lifers will lose their tempers with the constant lies and fallacies the proc-choicers use and the debates will end in vicious name calling.

[VRWC_minion]

Does each state just have a vote on whether they want it to be illegal or does the governor decide or how does that work?

Laws are not made by the governor. Whatever laws the state has on the books at the time would be what controls. Assuming any laws restricting abortions have been deleted from the various statutes of each state then new laws would need to be passed before a state could ban them.
