My point is that you don’t like being judged by radicals yet you do the same thing.
Actually that is not true. My points about Islam were talking about the actions of Muhammad, and the writings in the Koran, not some obscure Muslim terrorist. So the same standards apply to the Pro life Movement. Did Jesus bomb or advocate bombing abortion clinics. No he did not. This also has a flipside and affects you to. If you say it is unfair to Jude Muslims by the actions of Muslim extremists, then it is also unfair to Judge Christians by the actions of radical, insane Christians.

Even so, it's hard to get over the fact that someone who calls himself pro-life could be such a hypocrite.
Good people aren’t perfect, and you certainly can’t Judge an entire group of people by the actions of one person. Especially when the group of people distance themselves from the crazy radical, and condemns his actions.

Yeah no one wants to get an abortion if the clinic might blow up.
Don’t mischaracterize the pro life movement, just because there are a few radical idiots who think that they have to bomb abortion centers. I certainly don’t think that it is good to bomb an abortion center, and neither do most people.

Have you had an abortion?How can you say it is easy? Do you think people enjoy having abortions?
Alright, sorry. I was not trying to diminish the pain of an abortion. My point was that more people have abortions when abortion then when abortion is illegal, and that the presence of abortion clinics increases the amount of people who have abortions.
quote:
They "just don't feel like having a baby"? Right, because having a baby is such a minor thing?
Having a baby is not a minor thing, and that is my people should not be able to kill their babies. And there are people who play around, get pregnant, and then Just kill their baby, and go threw the process all over again.
Lastly, abortions have also often been extremely detrimental to the woman who has the abortions.

Abortion clinics give them a fast and easy way to kill there baby.

And they can do it for no medical reason at all; they can get an abortion even if they just don’t feel like having a baby.

God seriously why can't you understand that it is none of your business? If you get pregnant and don't want to have an abortion, don't have one, but it is not your place to force someone to have a baby.

If abortion was illegal, chaos would ensue. There would be illegal and dangerous abortions left and right. And the law is there to stop chaos from happening.
Actually this statement is false. The Number of abortions rose dramatically after abortion was made legal. However the rate of abortion is dropping again do to pressure from pro-life groups. The reason that so many people do get an abortion is not because they have to but because they can. Abortion clinics give them a fast and easy way to kill there baby. And they can do it for no medical reason at all; they can get an abortion even if they just don’t feel like having a baby. So actually the U.S. may not need to outlaw abortion. It may collaps on its own. But Abortion is defenatly

My point under the suicide law was that it is wrong to help a person destroy their body, and the same thing should apply to abortion doctors.
He's right. Mercy killings only extend to animals lower than humans.

Why should such laws be justified? Law was designed to keep order.
Yes, order, not good. If I may go a step further with thist statement. Laws are neither good nor evil. When people bring morals into it, they're trying to make them something they aren't. Now laws are supposed to be good, and that is not what law is about. People need to keep their personal opinions out of the laws, and try to figure out what would be best for the country as a whole. If abortion was illegal, chaos would ensue. There would be illegal and dangerous abortions left and right. And the law is there to stop chaos from happening.

There are laws that protect people from themselves. At times people can sink into powerful psychiatric problems, and it is at that time that they might do something stupid to themselves, that they or others will regret later.
Why should such laws be justified? Law was designed to keep order. Order as a whole is not disrupted if a person decides to take their own life. It is an enclosed and isolated event that doesn't have the type of repercussions that murder and theft do, which are unlawful to keep order intact.

The point had been made that people can do whatever they like with their bodies, and I was simply pointing out that that was not true.
No, the point had been made that people should be able to do whatever they like with their own bodies. Outdated laws prohibit that from happening, but laws can be wrong.
Justify that control over what people do to themselves and why the preservation of unwilling life is so important.
My point under this was not to get into a discussions about whether it is right or wrong to tell people whether they can inflict injuries, life threatening or not upon themselves. The point had been made that people can do whatever they like with their bodies, and I was simply pointing out that that was not true. However in the case of abortion we are not dealing with suicide, rather we are dealing with Homicide.

In some cases a law is there as a standard a way of saying that a certain type of behavior is not acceptable, this is the case with laws relating to how people deal with their own body.
