I know that Roe v Wade made abortion legal through all 9 months of pregnancy, but realistically, how many clinincs are there where a woman who is 9 months pregnant can just walk in and say she wants an abortion and get one? I don't think there are many places that can do that.

I don't know of a state where a woman can go get an abortion at 9 months just because she wants one. In the state I live in it is only legal up to 12 weeks. In Georgia, the next state over, I think the legal limit is 24 weeks. Is there a state that has it legal past that??

I'm not really sure how early he was. All I really remember was he was very tiny. Yea, I know, he is very lucky not to have any problems. His mother was a prostitute addicted to drugs. He used to be really hyper, but he is fine now.

It looks like guys are voting, but aren't discussing, lol.

I just wanted to say also that my brother who is adopted was a crack baby and was born early and was in NICU. He is 13 now and he is just fine. I'm glad he was given a chance.

I have seen some in NICU. I still think they deserve a chance.

I think it is good that babies are being saved sooner. Not all of them have problems.

I think with Obama in office, abortion isn't going to be illegal any time soon.

I have watched very little of her on tv. I thought she was nuts the first time I heard about it and that was before I even knew who she was. No one in their right mind would do what she has done. Even her own parents say she needs help. I think they know her better than anyone.

They just had a vote in utah or somewhere during the last election and the majority wanted to keep abortion legal.

I get what you are saying gadget. But I think in most cases for a man to be charged with murder of an unborn child, the mother has to be like 7 months pregnant. I think the baby has to be far enough developed that it could survive on its own if it were born. I think only then can the person be charged with murder. (I may be wrong, but I think that is what it is based on). Like that guy Scott Peterson who killed his wife. She was 8 months pregnant, so therefore they charged him with killing the baby too because he could have survived on his own. There was a case here where I live not too long ago. A guy beat up his girlfriend, she was like 5 months pregnant. She lived, but the baby died. The prosecutors tried to charge him with murdering the baby. But he got away with it because they said the baby couldn't have survived on its own at 5 months. I can still see that girl crying on tv as the judge said that. It was very sad. I agree that it is a very fine line.

The reason the woman has all of the say is because it is her body. And she is the main one who is going to have to take care of the kid. But I see what you are saying about the father. I think if a man doesn't want to have anything to do with the child, then he shouldn't have to pay child support. I don't see why he is forced to take care of a child he doesn't want. But if the woman doesn't want it, it is ok to abort. I don't see the logic there either.

I can understand why octomom wouldn't want the embryos destroyed, but I think she shuld have donated them.

I totally agree.

Does anyone know of a good shampoo and conditioner for long naturally curly hair? I have been using the Signature Collection from Bath and Body Works, but they discontinued it a while back. I have been able to order it online, but it is too expensive and takes forever to get here. And it is getting harder and harder to find. I am really bummed that they stopped selling it in the stores because it is the only thing that I have found that makes my hair behave. I want to find something that is sold at Walmart so there will be less of a chance of it getting discontinued. I used to use Pantene, but it started making my hair fall out. Any suggestions would be great!

Yes, I am the crazy cat lady! But at least I only have 4 now!!

How can you eat a fruit roll up?!!

That's great! I wish I could quit mine!!

I have been having some abnormal bleeding now for about a month. I went to my gyno today to see what might be going on. I haven't seen her since I had surgery so she immediately noticed my weight loss. When I told her about the bleeding, she started telling me that it is from the Lap Band and not being able to absorb my birth control pill correctly!! I am very confused. I told her that the surgeon said there would be no problem with continuing to take my pill after surgery. She didn't believe it. I tried to tell her how the band works and that there isn't a problem with absorption. She kept interupting me and telling me that I was wrong! She also told me that I am malnourished from the band! I had surgery in May and I tried to tell her that I don't believe it is from surgery because I don't think it would have just now started. But she would not listen to me. She was very rude! I am very worried about the bleeding because cancer runs very strongly in my family and my sisters have all had some type of reproductive cancer. She barely examined me and told me the bleeding was about to stop, but it's not. She also accused me of not taking my pill as I am supposed to, which is a total lie! She wants to take me off the pill and put me on something nonhormonal because she thinks the band interfers with the hormones! I am very confused! Has anyone ever heard of this? I was so upset, I left her office in tears!

That's exactly what I was thinking. I told her that and she said, "Well doesn't it make sense that since you are not eating the same that your meds wouldn't be absorbed the same?" No, that doesn't make sense. She also made it sound like I never eat. She ask me what all do I usually eat a day and when I told her she basically made it sound like I was anorexic or something. I told her I still eat 3 solid meals a day, just a lot less than before. She told me that I was malnourished! I still weigh over 200 pounds, so I'm not sure that's possible! She made it sound like I needed to be in the hospital with a feeding tube!

Thanks. Once I calmed down a little, I did call a new doctor and I have an appointment next week. I think I was more upset with the way she talked to me than anything!

Yea, I think they said that they aren't going to release them until she proves she can take care of them.

This was my mother exactly. She preached no sex until marriage. That's why I had to go to planned parenthood and get my birth control because I knew she never would take me.

gadget, I never meant to call you stupid, or any name at all. I was saying that the belief that teens aren't going to have sex and to only preach abstinence is stupid.

Who would want to watch her in a porno? Did you see those pictures of her stomach when she was pregnant? GROSS!!!!
