Well there we go... Something we agree on..

No, pretty much stop using the 'there are so many people out there looking to adopt a baby' agrument that a lot of pro-lifers use. The point is there are lots of kids out there that are looking to be adopted so forcing childbirth in order to fill this 'void' in lack of kids to be adopted.

I don't believe there's a surplus of any babies - babies mind you - of any race, color, or creed. If I'm wrong, I'll rescind that part of the argument - the part that it's likely a child will be adopted virtually immediately after birth.

16 percent of adopted children under 18 in the United States are black. Seven percent of adopted children are Asian, and two percent are American Indian and Alaska native.

That is a total of 25 percent... That means to me that the other 75% looks awfully white....

Still looking for better stats but have yet to come up with anything substantial.

A living will is your directive (your choice) in what to do (life or death) in the event you were you were incapacitated in some way, correct? If you deem it OK for a woman to choose life or death for her temporarily incapacitated baby then why wouldn't you leave the choice to someone else of what to do should you become incapacitated?

In essence it's not just "her body", it's her body and someone elses. Yeah that may royally suck for women but it's the way nature is.

Here you go speaking of choice, as long as it's something you agree with, but you don't want another woman to be allowed to have a choice.

And I don't think a bunch of cells that is not in and of itself a viable being a baby.

You'd be wrong.

You're the one with the discrepency, not I. According to you it's OK to kill a baby if a someone chooses but it's not OK to kill you if someone chooses.

Would you cease to be human if you were on a heart and/or lung machine? Afterall, you wouldn't be viable.
