SOMETHING I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THAT WAS SIGNED TODAY

FORT WORTH, TX

This is a screen print of the reversal of government funds to supply abortion on demand. Our new President is not for the unborn. This will lead to more deaths of children that never asked to be conceived in the first place and the trauma to the woman after abortion is never discussed. Does anyone realize that after an abortion, the woman will have emotional and guilt issues for the rest of her life?? I know I'm opening a can of worms here, but how can we play God and abort a child which in my heart is a baby (human being) before it is born. The heart starts beating 18 days after conception. It is a living being and is a gift from God.

Many detractors claim that a baby isn't a living human being until he or she has been born. When does the baby have everything we (adults) have, and only needs to grow before being born?

Great question! At 10 or 11 weeks gestation all the major life functions are in place and functioning to some degree. Keep in mind, though, that these processes have to undergo major maturation before the baby can survive outside of the womb.

What is the earliest that a premature baby can survive outside of the womb?

Twenty weeks is the earliest premature birth that has survived. Survivals before 23 weeks are extremely rare. With medical technology constantly changing and improving, these numbers will hopefully become obsolete in the future.


Some claim this will aleviate unplanned pregnancies and child abuse and neglect. Abortion will not do this. Since abortions became legal, child abuse and neglect still happen and even in greater numbers than before.

What if our President had been aborted because his mother couldn't care for him? He wouldn't be here to be president. I just have a huge issue with abortion. Late term abortions where the child can be born alive, partial birth abortions where a child is mutilated after the head exits the vaginal canal...it, in my mind, is wrong, terribly wrong. Look at the children around you, look at their innocence....how can we make the decision to end their life before it has even yet begun to breath outside the womb? What if your mother decided to abort you?

Folks will say if it is illegal then more women will die because they will go to illegal abortionists. Yes, that is probably true but it would lessen the amount of abortions performed and less children will die because of it. Many couples cannot have children and would love the opportunity to adopt but because the abortion rate is so high and it is so difficult to adopt in this country, they go to other countries to adopt their children.

I am a woman and have known numerous women who have gone thru the procedure and each one of them regrets it and still holds on to the guilt. And, it has been linked to Breast Cancer, scientific studies have shown, due to the drastic fall in hormones after the abortion is completed. After talking with many women that have had breast cancer, especially those under the age of 50, more than 90% told me that they had had an abortion in their past especially when the cancer they have feeds on hormones. The drastic change in hormone levels has shown that it does have an impact. None of those things are ever mentioned because no one wants to hear the truth. My opinion. I know some will blast me for posting this and saying how I feel but I believe a baby is a baby and not a choice. At the very least, explain to women who are thinking about it all the damage it can do to your emotional and physical state of having an abortion, the true effects and ramifications it has on your body that continues throughout your life, unless of course, you don't have a heart. Maybe then, women will think twice about it. I know there are "grey" areas such as rape and incest and I won't discuss that topic here. This is about having our government pay for abortions for women who knew what they were doing, made the choice to have sex and then decide to abort the child after becoming pregnant. It will not stop unwanted pregnancies and our tax dollars will go to aid the killing of innocent lives. I do not want my tax dollars spent that way, that is for sure!

Those of you who claim to love children but agree that women should have a choice on killing their children before they can come into this world is an oxymoron. We should be protecting them, loving them and raising them with values and morals, not killing them before they have had a chance to live their lives and maybe become someone great.

Amen sister. The pro-abortion crowd likes to pretend that it is only men who want to "control" their women in a Taliban-like manner who are opposed to abortion. Speaking of an oxymoron (or perhaps just a moron) what about Nancy Pelosi, who presents herself as a pro-abortion "Catholic" grandmother.

And killing a child isn't child abuse?

As one who has seen an unwanted child abused, I am glad this got signed. Unplanned children have kept many people joining out work force & with not option but to collect welfare...costing us millions as well as their lives being horrible. Hopefully free birth control, education & contraception including sterilizations will occur. I wonder how many violent crimes have been committed by a person whose mother ,if had the choice to abortion, would not have happen if she did have this choice. A raped woman should not have to carry a child to full term.

Killing Unborn Kids,,, Just Tissue???? What An A- -!!!! NIce coverage on your piece of the net. Saying abortion should be "Safe?? " Safe for who??? Certainly not the baby. Life is Life,, not matter if your 3 months in the womb, 3 years, or 90 years.. Not My Choice For Leader,,,, Not Even Chose.. Ron Paul had some great ideals and a good grip and what " Is Happening ".. Of course the media isn't going to talk about the upcoming " AMero " or forcing our nation into a " North American Union ". They are most focused on Who's Going To Win American Idol " Or " Sports "... Shallow People are easy to herd.. ( And all these changes " Won't " be voted on by us or congress,,,,,,, Brave New World,,,

Well Obama went from just being an individual I didn't vote for, to a total piece of crap in my eyes. May the deaths of the innocent not only be on him, but those that voted for him as well. Lord have mercy.

I knew this was coming. Sad day for the USA.

Well put Cindi.......

I agree with every comment here.

My church has a support group for women who have had abortions. Sadly, the group is one of the largest of the support groups at the church. People are so quick to erase "their problem" with an abortion and many do not think of the baby as a life. Nor do many think of the emotional damage they are doing to themselves.
I think back to the early days of my pregnancies and remember the first time with each child that I felt the first movement and knew the joy of the life growing within me. I was around 3 months along when I first felt the baby move. It is uncomprehensible that people can think it's not a life at that point.
I may not have agreed with everything President Bush did, but it took years before he made a mistake that I did not agree with. Obama has pisted me off daily and he hasn't even completed a week in office.

I doubt there is a more divisive issue facing us. Personally I feel abortion should be safe, legal, and almost non-existent. We need to come up with solutions to this problem that would prevent anyone from seeking an abortion to start with... Cindi, I agree fully with your sentiments.

I suspect he will be able to do many things without the attention from the media :-(
