National Right to Life has endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) for president. While McCain has not been considered the ideal candidate by most of the pro-life community, many consider him a much better choice than either Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) or Senator Barak Obama (D-Illinois).

      You would be especially in danger from your own countryman of different tribal or ethnic background and/or extra-national radical forces seeking de facto control of your oil... and of your wider geographic region.

This is a plus in my book. Abortion is a confusing issue but definately don't want it to become the first line choice of birth control.

  I can see it now rdy, women having getting pregnant parties so they can have abortion parties.
  Abortions aren't used as birth control! I can't believe that there is even ONE woman on this planet that would choose to use it that way. I am almost 58 years old and i only know 4 women who have had abortions in my whole life, and the only reason i know them is because of my job, and 2 girls that lived close by me.
  The average person wouldn't have abortions except in extreme cases, HOWEVER, the right has blown it so out of proportion that you would think the lefties are abducting pregnant women off the street and taking them directly to the abortion clinic. It's absurd.

    I agree n2n. "Right to Life" can be defined in so many ways but I don't believe in abortion factories.Whether it's my business what a women does I don't know.But when women come in where I volunteer and say I can't look at a baby sobbing it gets complicated.
    Plus a week ago I saw a first operation where they took the womb out of the women to operate on the 18 week old baby and when the surgeon made the cut an arm came out and the hand grabbed the surgeons finger. He cried, I cried and tell me that's not a baby but a "fetus."Fetus has slowly changed the term what a baby is.
    I honestly don't know when I think life begins but to me abortion factories further devalue the meaning of life in our country.

      at 18 weeks an abortion is NOT supposed to be performed. that's well past the first trimester time frame.
      and according to "baby 2 see" an embryo becomes a fetus on or after the 10th week.

      Ranchhand, the reason i replied to rdy was because he made the comment that he didn't want abortion to become the first line of birth control.
      The reason you think i am trying is because i don't and won't be swayed to believe the way you all do, and i don't mind speaking my mind on ridiculous issues like women using abortion for birth control.
      Answer me one question... Why would any woman choose to pay several hunderd dollars for periodic abortions, when they can get patches, pills, IUD's and various other forms of birth control on their insurance, medicaid or from clinics?
      Then you wonder why i am so trying!! Do you ever think about how trying you may be at times, regardless of whether i like/love or hated you???

        I misunderstood your previous statement n2n. But respectfully there are plenty of what I term "abortion factories" in this country and many,many are free.To answer your question why about pills, etc. I don't know. It doesn't make sense.
        I can't quote stats or show websites it will take me months to search but I know what's a fact. Doesn't make sense but it is.And abortion is already a first line method of birth control in many areas of cities.
        Maybe somebody that can search that wants can look these things up.
        This isn't stats but where I volunteer I hear it all the time, "If I get pregnant I can always get an abortion."
        If my statements weren't true why would there be millions of abortions be done every year in the U.S.?Don't Know

        Not sure about any bias on this site, I just did a quick Google search and the first one that had the statistics was definitely an anti-abortion site, so I went on to the next one I found that didn't seem to have any bias.
        http://www.mccl.org/abortion_statistics.htm
        NM, going to the homepage it has an anti-abortion bias after finding what mccl means. I'm to lazy to find a non-biased site with easy to see stats now, sorry. Every single site I saw seemed to have some bias of some kind on the Google search, or the potential for one.

        My mother had an abortion and also had a miscarriage in her life. My ex, whom I mentioned earlier, was raped when she was young and is unable to have children and wants them quite badly. As she is one of the sweetest people in the world, I despise abortion when its used as a form of birth control when she is unable to have something she wants badly in this. Its not really one of those things I keep on the back shelf. My feelings on this issue have come after my own personal reflection on it and I finally decided I don't have the right to tell a person what to do or not to do in there life unless asked or unless it involves me in some way.

        Yes, a very complex one... which is why I eventually decided on what I did, I can't stop someone and no law will stop someone from doing this if they really want to. After the fact no punishment to the mother or doctor would make me feel better or reverse what happened.

        rdy, i believe what you say about women having abortions, but i will say, they aren't free here. As i said... i know 4 women who have had abortions, i never inquired why they did it, but i know they did. Everyone of them had to pay hundreds of dollars for their abortions, and this was in the 80's, i can only imagine what they are now. NO WONDER women there would use abortion as birth control, if their free.
        In fact, abortions are so expensive here, many girls have the babies and them put them in dumpsters, or put them in plastic bags and put them in public restroom trash cans, bury them and one put her newborn on a curb in a parking lot. They are on our news here all the time. It's sad.
        Personally, i would never have had an abortion, as it is God only blessed me with one child. I take something like that seriously, HOWEVER, if a woman is a victim of rape or incest, i think she should be allowed to decide whether she wants to have the baby.

        Well here I know of three that are free but are in the ghetto.I believe in abortion for rape and incest AND if the womens life is in danger.No sense in 2 dying.I also agree with the part about going back to the stone ages and the back alley approach.That's generally how I saw a fetus.
        I think we agree except maybe the point that free abortion clinics do exist but aren't enough to handle the demand. You learn a lot living in a ghetto for a month.I will amend my statement that the clinics are "ability to pay" and that's thrown a loop with teens not needing parental consent.
        I'll throw another controversy out.If I was a responsible father and married I think I have a right in the decision also.It's the womens body but my baby too.Although I can't imagine physically stopping her.
        See what civil discussion brings:)

        Rdy, when i was a social worker, i knew about all the resources in the Louisville area because we had to know where and what was available to our clients. There are no free abortion clinics here, anywhere, if there was i would know about it, simply because of the job i held. I also know that unless a pregnancy is a danger to a woman's life, and her Dr recommends abortion, she cannot get an abortion on medicaid, so the tax payers are not paying for abortions through medicaid.
        I think it's sad that there are free abortion clinics anywhere, i am not for abortion, only on rare occasions. I just hate that Liberals are labeled baby killers, when the majority of us feel the same way i do.

        Oh I agree about "liberal" being labelled baby killers and don't like it and I remember quite well your former job.I do not condone labelling. I get labelled sometimes as "the Christian Right" if I mention I'm a Christian at times.
        I also knew about taxpayers not paying for abortions. Liberals and conservatives i suspect if the truth be known are probably more near the middle. Just a guess.
        But it is a fact that in many cities Planned Parenthood helps fund what I call "abortion factories"(maybe harsh but that's a IMO) to provide low cost or free abortions.

    "Abortions aren't used as birth control! I can't believe that there is even ONE woman on this planet that would choose to use it that way."
    If abortions aren't used as birth control, then what are they done for? Women have abortions over 90 percent of the time, because they wound up getting pregnant and they don't want the child. They abort the child. How is that not birth control? I can vaguely agree with you that it is not birth control, but instead it is murder. I am sure you don't view the ending of the life of an unborn child as murder though.
    McCain probably isn't the strongest anti-abortion candidate, but he is more supportive of the issue than Hill or Bama.
    Women need to stop using the "choice" platform for keeping the systematic murder of over a million kids a year from happening. I still feel strongly in a woman's right to choose, I just disagree as to when the choice is to be made.

  does anyone want abortion to be the first line choice of birth control?
  (and please, no ridiculous replies about how leftys love abortions. cause that's just stupid. especially since so many rightys are having abortions)
  if you're personally against abortion, but still think the decision about abortion and what a woman can do with her own body is up to the woman and her doctor and none of your business, then you're pro-choice.

    That's why I am against late-term and partial-birth abortion. I don't mind abortion in general, but get it done early if at all.
    And, USE BIRTH CONTROL!!!!! Condoms should be used at all times unless trying to have a baby, anyway.

  Quite true, a powerful endorsement. However, I tend to believe that this group would have voted for McCain anyway, if they voted at all. Overall number of voters actually swayed to change how they vote because of this? Small. Endorsements, I've noticed, tend to have very little impact in US politics.

      I have to agree. But, like I said, it was all to be expected anyway. It doesn't really change the overall equation at all, for the general election. It was always a given that the GOP would get the pro-life vote.

      rdy, there's also a Christian Left, in fact most of my closest friends are Democrats, but all of them are Christians. ;) I never knew there were as many atheists as there were until i started participating in Prop, however they are still the minority, a small minority too.
      McCain didn't even have a minister to endorse him, he had to seek out Hagee because being a republican, it was expected that he would have some sort of religious backing.

        I agree 100% with you on this one n2n and it kind of makes me "quesy" if that's the right word that McCain feels he needs a preacher if I put this right.
        I have many people particularly about Obama and Romney say but he's a Muslim or a Mormon of all affiliations.So?If they're a blue colored atheist makes no differance to me as long as they uphold the constitution and let me peacefully worship in the manner I choose.Unfortunately not all see it that way.
        My point is yours, left,right,right or wrong,green or blue most people in this country at least affiliate with the word 'Christian."

        rdy,
        I don't try to be trying! It's not why i come on Prop, to see who i can pizz off today. However, people don't realize that i see their views as trying too. There isn't a more redundant trying human on Prop than ani, but i don't follow her around telling her how trying she is. We disagree, she says things that amazes me sometimes, but she pays for her internet just like i do, and has the right to her opinion.
        I have been told over and over on Prop that because i am a liberal, i support killing babies. I don't support killing babies, i don't know any decent human being that does, i would never have had an abortion, but i am told constantly, by cons on here, that because i am a liberal i support killing babies! And then i am told i am trying because i don't agree!
        Cons way or the highway!

        Lately being nosey since I add on anyone as friend basically, I've had some disagree and go back and retract a vote for a song post I made.Petty.And you and most folks even know that I'm not right always etc,am not an "attack" person and consider friend anyone I can discuss civilly unless hatred,racism or bigotry are involved.I wish more people were like us n2n everywhere.I'm not "us" or "them" I am me and it's fine to disagree with MY opinions peacefully and I certainly understand your frustrations.

Obama voted against laws that would make partial birth abortions illegal.
Without that law babies are being murdered after they are born alive.
He is a very sick man to be against that law.

    Murder does not justify murder, so you think this is always true? The word "murder" suggests an illegal act, the word "kill" doesn't. So say, rather, the killing of one never justifies the killing of another. Sounds better? How about the killing of one to prevent the deaths of two or more? Sound even better? To prevent the deaths and suffering of thousands? Sounds even better? Almost nice? You see where we go when we go down the slippery slope of abortion. I too am a Constitutionalist and the right to an abortion is not part of the constitution in my view.

      let's see if this post sticks. I can't debate wording because I'm no good at it.LOL But I agree. Doesn't the word "fetus" sound better than 'Baby" when it comes to abortion.
      I may have been blind a while, but a new translation in English of the Bible says "Thou shall not do murder" instead of "Thou shalt not Kill." Big differance.

As sad as it is it is used as a form of birth control
When I was younger and dumber I dated this girl and we were talking and she said "don't worry if you ever got me pregnant you would never know I'd just get rid of it like the last times" at the moment the comment flew right past my hormone filled young boy ears but the comment has haunted me for years

  Sad but true. I've heard that many times and don't understand. When i was young you had to find condoms in gas station bathrooms. Now you can get them anywhere so easy.
  Be at peace.

      You are correct AG but still believe abortion is both a "measure" and a bad attitude.

    The problem with condoms is they work 14 out of 15 times according to Consumer Reports. Some STD's go right through them.

      You are absolutely correct endo and deepens the overall birth control issue. As far as I know the only 100% method of std prevention is don't do it.

Who else could they endorse? The other two want the right to kill an unborn child on demand to continue.

Obama endorses killing when they are already born alive.
He would not sign a bill to prevent it.

Just like when someone saves a life from a mugging or a rape by shooting the bad guy to stop it, I have no problem when a baby killing operation gets blown up.
