When the anesthetic wears off it's bloody painful and you can't do ####### all for a fortnight.

I'm wondering how 8% over dictates a "strong majority" in a survey that has a +/- 3% error margin. Also, it's interesting to note that this was an online survey among only 3,000 people conducted by a leading anti-abortion organization. Hmmmmm. Wonder why the "probability-based" panel came up with these staggering results.

I wonder if they would've asked 3,000 "millenials" in downtown Chicago the same questions if they would've answered the same way.

I find it fascinating though, that despite all your predictions of moral bankcruptcy due to this degenerate society that we have had to suffer for the last, what 50 years?, the majority of young people in fact have a very sound moral compass. How do you explain that?

See above.

Abortion is sad on many levels, but being sad doesn't make it unnecessary, being sad doesn't mean having one doesn't prevent a worse scenario occuring.

So it's better for people to keep having kids they don't want and can't afford to care for?

besides a tougher and more rewarding road would be to give it up for adoption. We need to to take a tough stand on this and quit it with that silly notion that abortion might be the better option.

Where are all these people trying to adopt unwanted kids?

i know the difference but just thinking people are smart enough to know what i mean... fetus.. baby.. all the same to me but yeah, some people do need to be precise.

Precision for me is outside the mother and breathing on it's own. That's a life. Anything up to that point is not.

but that is recovery and yes, it is part of the process, but it is not what we've been talking about here. you should know the difference (remember... fetus... baby) LOL!

oh and if men had babies, we would go to work the next day.

i had to go back to work 4 hours after delivery and the twins being placed in nicu ... your point is ??

Danno, if you truly believe so and we the citizens impose something on you, will you oblige?

I am hoping for a yes here

IS this a serious question?

Aren't their times you would maybe smack someone in the mouth or even more but the law and the cost of breaking it makes you think twice?

Most people realize laws are a majority rule set of morals and we accept we might not agree by all but we stay within the bounds of the law.

[Danno 1,228]

Your website does have an agenda

However, you are right that epidurals are used more commonly these days and appear to be relatively safe but they do not produce a pain free labour, and there are down sides, including longer labour and less effective muscles often resulting in the use of forceps for delivery. Childbirth is not an easy process no matter what pain relief is chosen.

The truth of it may be you come from a country with pure socialized medicine and thats why you are accustomed to "grinning and bearing it".

Epidurals are a common childbirth experience over here MC and if there were a real risk to using them, I'm sure liability costs would have ended them a long time ago.

Now I know some women like to go "natural" and all that and some are overly concerned about using drugs and even vaccines but again the bottom line, you were wrong, he was right Epidurals are standard procedure.

The "pain greater than death" is a thing of the past (in free markets any way).

And what?

I will say this again, and I haven't said it in a while. I am NOT pro-abortion, I AM pro-choice. While I would never have an abortion I do not want the government telling me I cannot. If 56% are against abortion then 56% should not have them.

The government needs to keep their hands off uteruses...and also keep their hands off tonsils, gall bladders, runny noses, cancer, etc. I am against government control of my body in any way shape or form. They should have nothing to say about what goes IN or OUT of my body. I know what is right and wrong and will act accordingly.

Morals and laws are not the same thing, or should not be. My morals are different than yours, should BOTH our morals be law? Or should I be forced to follow your morals becase 52% of people agree with you?

This is why Republicans (conservatives) are just as revolting to me as liberals (Democrats). Stay the #### out of my business...ALL of my business! stay out of my healthcare and stay out of my uterus. Stay out of my garage and stay out of my bedroom! Just get the #### out! I do not want your religious beliefs in my life any more than I want Obama's government beliefs in my life. I do not need the government to know what is right and wrong.

I am doing just fine here with my family, just GET OUT!!!!!!!!!

Laws also need to fall within constittutional restraint. There is no constitutional ban on abortion (or a constitutional "right" to an abortion), that means it is up to the individual states. If YOUR State's representatives want to outlaw abortion, they should be able to and you should be able to move to another state.

Everyone talking about epidurals, pain-free labor, and men going to work the next day really needs to stfu, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Here's a thought--if you are against abortion, then DON'T have one.

Similarly, if you abhor homosexual activity, don't engage in it.

Stop telling others how to live their lives.

And women will STFU ABOUT comments on child support, men using condoms and time spent watching Football?

Okay Deal!

Even for you, that is bloody stupid, Danno...
