I do not believe most women who seek abortions, do so lightly, or often. The few that I've kown did so in an effort to save their own lives. They did it very early and have regretted there was no other solution. Education and knowing your own body are very important, in this issue and many other health issues. Mandating by law, medical procedures is stupid and wrong. - BoFred Tue, 17 Aug 2010 04:38:38 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6750-federal-judge-blocks-part-of-las-new-abortion-law#comment-9566 The poor girls get abortions, the rich girls go visit their aunt in California. - The Original Northsidian Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:15:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6750-federal-judge-blocks-part-of-las-new-abortion-law#comment-9542 I agree that this law is just invasive, demeaning, and overbearing. If I were a woman, I'd be insulted. But let's not kid ourselves about this--MOST abortions are about birth control. According to these numbers, for example, less than 10% are for child/mother health. More than 3/4 are lifestyle choices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_the_United_States If we truly want government "out of our lives", then we need to accept that to have freedom, we will have abortions, gay marriage, and very few drug laws. By the same token, if we want to have all these social freedoms condoned by government, then we can't all go run to the government for special treatment and tax dollars, or file suit in court for every "cause" under the sun. - ragin_cajun Mon, 16 Aug 2010 09:06:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6750-federal-judge-blocks-part-of-las-new-abortion-law#comment-9541 it's a good idea--you want an abortion, you have to look at the ultrasound of the baby and THEN decide. The problem is that the second the government gets into it, and then makes a law, it becomes a bungled effort and it just gets ridiculous. So now, nobody's happy but the people who make money off of ultra-sounds. They need to either outlaw it, or stay out of it. But half-ass regulation like this is just rubbing salt in wounds. - ragin_cajun Mon, 16 Aug 2010 08:27:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6750-federal-judge-blocks-part-of-las-new-abortion-law#comment-9538 Its stupid and invasive to require an ultrasound and in the end won't stop many procedures. Education will stop more and birth control would stop even more. I don't think free or reasonably priced birth control is available anymore. I still trust women and their doctors to know what is best. I don't believe a lot of pregnancies are terminated as a form or birth control. - BoFred Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:52:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6750-federal-judge-blocks-part-of-las-new-abortion-law#comment-9521 Does a guy get an ultra sound shoved up his rectum when he wants a vasectomy? - Bob Fri, 13 Aug 2010 14:58:52 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6750-federal-judge-blocks-part-of-las-new-abortion-law#comment-9514 So now I have to pay for an abortion, an ultrasound AND a thank you card? - LookSomeThings Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:13:34 +0100
