It's a very simple question. We all know there are times when abortions are necessary such as rape, incest and health of the mother. For the purposes of this question, assume the question addresses "uncomplicated" abortions only.

Abortion should remain legal - and it probably will.
I can't imagine ANYONE who thinks a woman should NOT have the option of abortion in cases of rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother.

Ironic that a liberal will always take the side of weak and defenseless people except when it come to the weakest and most defenseless. They give a child status "fetus" to justify what they are actually terminating - a human life.
How many Einsteins, e.e. cummings, and yes even Obamas are among the 40,000,000 lives terminated. Obama himself on conception had a greater chance of being aborted than being carried to full term. 12% of the population accounts for 50% of abortions so whether or not it was designed in such as way its a silent genocide of blacks.

Murder is illegal. Why should it be legal for the convenience of the ignorant and uncaring? If a woman murders her baby before it is born it is abortion. If she waits till after she gets the chair. Makes NO sense.

Do you support the death penalty? Or the war in Iraq? I bet you do. Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

Yes. I find it barbaric and sick. I don't need one Bible verse to come to this conclusion.
It will more than likely remain legal.

Actually, it would not have mattered with Darwin. Darwin kept his findings secret for many years. He kept refining his findings for many years. The only reason he published the book was because Alfred Russle Wallace was about to publish a similar theory ([Source).
This caused Darwin to publish his theory first. Even without those two, Darwin acknowledged that others had smaller threads about evolution. A letter Darwin wrote about the "Theory of Natural Selection" was to show that it did not really matter if he or Wallace had made the discovery. It was a moot point.
So, Darwin is not a good example.
As for Einstein, I don't really know.

leave it legal. I have yet to hear of ANYONE being FORCED to have an abortion,simply because it is on the books as a legal procedure.
And yet while they were illegal they were being done left and right,under everyones nose. So what does making them illegal ACTUALLY do, help those opposed sleep better at night? Sure does not stop abortions from being done.

have you ever used birth control? better read your Bible
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them.” Psalm 127:3-5
and lets not forget Genesis 1:28
you are using statistics(or numbers) which are available because abortion is legal. How many were done when it was illegal?
