You don't have to understand it...it is my belief. I'm not asking you to understand what I think is right...I think it is the choice of the woman as an individual not the government and everyone else...the purpose of an abortion is to terminate the pregnancy not birth a child to be given to someone else

Yes however, the ones I posted are from real dictionaries...not website dictionaries. Anyone can post anything online that is all I am saying!

See above where you answered questions based on what you thought I would say...that is answering your own questions...

While your definition is nice...the definition from Webster: Mother Says a woman who has given birth. The Merriam-Webster: Mother - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary Says A female parent. Another source gives definitions from 5 sources: and none of them says a pregnant woman or a woman who conceives... Remember that places like freedictionary and wikipedia can have definitions from anyone....anyone can post on those sites...

I'm pretty sure that when a women is pregnant they use the term mother to be...not mother...and yes you did answer your own question when you asked it you said, but I know you answer will be....

I think you answered your own question here. When the baby is born...not extracted from the mother's body. When the mother has the baby through the process of giving birth then the baby has the protection of the law. The senerio you are playing out says that the procedure would be the same as abortion, but it isn't. The government does not have the right to dictate if a woman must be a mother or must birth a child even if she doesn't wish to...Would it be okay if the government looked at a woman and said...we're going to go ahead and have you get your uterus removed because you shouldn't have kids...?

You can say that there will be no responsibility...well what happens when the baby grows up and wants to know their real mom....what happens when they track her down and ask her why...that is still apart of her out there....it is the woman's choice...and her choice alone unless she wishes to include someone else...

The baby is HER baby...not the governments. I am saying that if she chooses to abort than that is what should happen...if she should decide to carry the baby and give it up for adoption then that is her choice. It is her genes, it is her dna...it is her choice what happens to her fetus.

I missed to required party sorry...lol. Trying to read and watch my son lmao....I don't think it should be required...no

I think that would be great....only if that is the option that the mother wishes to take...

The growing that happens with a fetus is different from the growing of a newborn and a toddler...the toddler isn't growing limbs or developing new organs...

Without the Host (Mother) the baby's "parts" will not be assembled...

I like that comparision very much!!! Nicely put!

The lube we use is called Jo I think we got it at Lovers (formally Lovers Package) We love it! We have it in both water based and oil based :thumbup:

WOW...you're lucky. For me any amount of carbination is not tolerated. If I even sip a few teaspoons of sparkling cide I feel like my pouch is going to explode lol

Caffeine was not off limits for me, only during my pre and post op diets. It does however increase your appetite. I will have caffeinated tea or a coffee drink. At first I was grouchier than normal, but I learned other things to do to help me with my depression. I took up cross stitching and crocheting...reading. Something to replace that old "friend" food :thumbup:. You need to have people you can talk to when you're depressed...someone you can turn to that will talk you through the tough times and help you overcome that kickstand in your life that always made you feel better when you were in a mood :eek:. You'll see what will work for you and what will not! Good luck to you. If you need to talk/vent I am always around

This is the off topic debate area...This site isn't just for talking about the lapband...it is also a place where people with lapbands can come together and talk, about anything...it's a lapband community

National Right to Life (Pro-Life) NARAL Pro-Choice America (Pro-Choice) Just thought I would share the sites...

You know...This thread is like beating a dead dog...niether one of us is ever going to be right in the other ones eyes...I am tired of trying to defend my beliefs...they are mine, not yours and nothing anyone says will chnge them. :crying:

So if a woman has conjoined twins and the doctors tell her if she seperated them one or both may die, but she seperates them anyways and one dies...should she be arrested for killing a child? Those children are human and they have their own brain and what not...Should it be illegal for a parent to seperate twins since they are not her body...why should she make the choice for one to die? hmm...

The baby is attached to the mothers body.

Without the nutients being giving to the baby through the mothers body. It would not survive...

The fetus is a part of the mother. They share blood for heavens sakes. A family has a right to pull the plug on another family member if they have no brain waves...Why is that okay?

Yeah and out of all those stages of life all of them feel pain except for one...hmm. Oh and I have read articles where it says that abortion is not painful for the fetus. I am not pro choice because they don't feel pain. I am pro choice because it is not the body and life of everyone else...it is the body and the life of the woman carrying the embryo/fetus. I am against making it illegal because it isn't anyone elses choice to make...It is not your life that suffers...it is not your body it is not you mentality or you life that is ruined...

I'm sorry...where in my post did I say that..? I just said the difference was that there was no pain. I didn't say therefore they're not human or therefore we can kill people if they can't feel..I just stated a point, that's all
