The road to having a baby starts on two paths: Planned and unplanned. If the child is unplanned it was conceived by force/unfortunate circumstance or negligence. If you have conceived out of negligence and you don’t want a baby you should probably get on that. Waiting until last minute to abort is probably a bad idea. Here’s the point: Having a baby out of negligence already proves you are irresponsible and waiting until the sixth month to abort only proves the point further. I am all for the right to choose and it’s your body and all that jazz, but flaking out on motherhood only a few weeks from birth is abusing the right to an abortion.

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of right winged conservatives denying the right for woman to have partial abortions. Yep, one step closer to doing away with the right to choose. But in a world where there are warning labels on hair dryers to “not use electrical device in or near water” should there be a right to choose? Well John Edwards sure thinks so. The Presidential Runners for 2008 have released their statements on the issue of Partial Abortion.

CNN posted the statements: “Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani issued a statement saying the Supreme Court reached "the correct conclusion in upholding the congressional ban on partial birth abortion."

Mitt Romney, his opponent for the GOP nomination, praised the court for "upholding a ban on a practice that offends basic human decency." But abortion-rights supporters frame the issue as a woman's right to choose.

"This judgment today is a major strike against a woman's right to choose," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California. "The court in this case has, by a narrow 5-4 margin, has essentially enacted the first federal abortion ban in this country and has struck down a primary part of Roe v. Wade, protection of the health of the mother." Democratic presidential hopefuls echoed Feinstein's thoughts.

John Edwards issued a statement saying that a woman's right to choose is at stake in 2008.
Barack Obama's statement said he is concerned that the ruling will "embolden state legislatures to enact further measures to restrict a woman's right to choose."

Most Americans believe abortion should be "legal only under certain circumstances,'' according to the Gallup Poll.”

I am one of the majority that thinks it should be legal under certain circumstances. I hate that none of the candidates took the middle–of-the-road stance. I don’t want the right to choose to be completely lost, but I don’t want a beating-heart, blood-pumping pre-mature child’s brain sucked out and body escavated from the gapping womb either.

The argument of the leftists is that the ruling infringes on the right to protect the mother’s life. This was a valid argument back in the stone ages when a mother dying while giving birth was common place. Science is amazing. The Ultrasound machine is amazing. Thanks to both the “mother’s protection” argument is almost completely invalid accept for freak circumstances.

It’s too bad the few have to ruin it for the rest of us. If you are going to get knocked up and then wait till last minute to abort – do us all a favor and get your tubes tied while you’re at it.
