re: #20 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

It is about punishing women who have sex outside marriage by making them bear and raise an unwanted, often fatherless child.

I get that on the GOP side. I do not believe everyone feels that way (whether the result is the same or not, I get what you are saying). There are people who do not look at it as a way to punish women. They look at it from a moral perspective (religious women, for example. You don’t have anti-abortion 20 year olds who all want to play the vindictive card. Some believe that a child should be born and adopted.

The result is punishment to make a woman go through childbirth, but that’s not the intent.

I am about as pro-abortion as you could be…look at my take above. I, personally, think abortion is nothing more than a surgical procedure. I further think a fetus is a parasite
(the actual definition of a parasite) in that it cannot live without its host and it puts its host in a potentially deadly position of having to give birth because childbirth is not a simple thing and people do die in childbirth.
