I love this argument and all it's flawed logic from the pro-choice crowed.
I supposed by their logic since a death by heart attack is not a crime I should be able to murder at will?
This isn't a political post either.

I'm pro-abortion: everybody should get one.

I should get an abortion? I don't have a uterus, silly!

The destruction of human life is so funny, hahahahahahahahahah,
The argument fails as criminal law 101 requires there to be both an ill intent (called mens rea) and an actus reus, a willful contraction of the muscles. In the case of miscarriage, neither of those is present, thus, no crime.
Is abortion wrong? Probably--there's surely a debate to be had, at least.
Is it easy to judge abortion when you'll never be in a situation when an unwanted pregnancy will seriously (and negatively) affect your life? Absolutely. So shush.

There have been some times in my life that would have been easier if someone else had been killed. But, the law still recognized that there was a problem with me killing them.

Well apparently the law draws a distinction between parasitic fetuses and self-sustaining humans.
So, there you go...
Once more, it easy to judge abortion when you'll never be in a situation when an unwanted pregnancy will seriously (and negatively) affect your life. Check your (lack of) perspective at the door.

Uhh huh! Says the man (Sergai Ibaka) with no uterus. I am sure you have had lots of unwanted pregnancies. Please share more, Captain Hypocrisy.

Actually, all the law does is draw an arbitrary line at when an unborn child gets rights that are used to balance against the rights of its mother. If being "Parasitic," as you put it, were the measuring test of who is eligible to get killed, then capital punishment would be more widely employed.

Neither is abortion.

I don't understand? Capital punishment on who? Vampires?
They're parasites...I guess.

Too bad someone's mother didn't.
How can there be too many children?
That is like saying there are too many flowers.

I find the concept of abortion to be morally repugnant; however, in the practical world, I'm not exactly up and arms about it. I'm pretty sold on Steve Levitt's theory that abortion leads to a smaller crime rate. So, I hate abortion but I hate having my **** stolen by a group of "homies" far more.

I agree.

There are tons of parasites in America. You could start with the OWS crowd.
You may be a parasite yourself. I have not reached a final decision on that question.

So I guess Scott Peterson should never have been charged with more than one count of murder?
None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me.
Well, the general sentiment is idiotic in itself: you don't think that anybody in OWS has a useful job or pays taxes? That's silly.
Beyond that, you obviously extended the term "parasite" beyond what was intended: an organism that literally cannot survive without the support of a host-body. This was a lame (red-herring) tactic.
You'll find that women support legal abortion more than men. You'll also find that support for legal-abortion is higher among better-educated groups (but that's an irrelevant statistic here).Uhh huh!

Boy this subject never ceases to amaze me at how hot peoples emotions run. I'm conservative about just about everything, Christian, small government all the way. Yet I consider abortion to be strictly the decision of the woman affected, especially if she is unmarried.
Maybe I'm just apathetic, but I don't see why everyone has to stick their noses into someone's private affairs. I've seen the results of children born into situations where the mother had no business raising children, and those children became everyone's problem in the form of crime, and government support.
Girls these days just don't put the kids up for adoption, because our government will support them. This allowing them to raise more kids that will cause more trouble.
Now I have to decide whether to hit the "post" button or not.
