There are many other places that provide STD testing.
Statistically speaking one in six pregnancies end in miscarriage. Some of those are so early that the woman didn't even know she was pregnant.
No religion has ever treated a miscarriage as a baby. They do not perform last rites, there is no baptism, naming etc.
Abortion is a coerced ( or forced) miscarriage.
When a close family member miscarried last year, we were sad but nobody said she's lost a baby. We were sad because her hope to become a mother has been delayed.
What she lost was a fetus with the potential to become a baby.
Vance, as a moderator for STD forums I would think you'd support PP as it provides free STD testing.
Honestly, I have learned never to judge others. My sons special needs are okay for our family to deal with. But there are some parents who live luves you and I can't affine. But downs is detected early on and not late. We did no prenatal testing because my husband and I accepted we would live our children regardless. But that was our thoughts. I don't want to judge another mom for knowing her limits. What about z child who would have a painful condition if born? How do you feel about that?
By the way, I don't think you are wrong Vance for how you feel. But I don't think someone else is wrong for feeling differently. :).
I also know that my religious beliefs aren't that of others so I stay away from that. Because the bible won't make any argument if someone doesn't believe. And for eons people have fought over interpretation of the bible.
Yes I stated that in a post I made on here. Life of mother would outweigh all else. But we have people using it as birth control because they were not responsible enough or we have people doing it because they find out the child has down's. This is what I hate about abortion. Life that is so precious to most on this planet is being destroyed...why because it can?
* In January 2014, the Guttmacher Institute reported: * 1.05 million abortions in the US in 2012; * 4.8% of abortions in the US occurred from week 16 of pregnancy to week 32.

What is said about life and killing in the Bible. You follow the word then you can't go wrong.
Vance, do you agree that under certain medical circumstances abortion is necessary such as a life or death situation for the mother. I like the idea of finding common ground you started.
Aborting, killing, stopping, ending, its all the same thing and age is not the issue here, the issue is not allowing a human to develop once conception has taken place.
