Many years ago, a man and his wife of the Jehovah's Witness denomination came to my door to proselytize their beliefs. I invited them in, treated them with dignity, and we discussed our own ways of believing. I was still under my own spell of religion at that time.
When the subject turned to the issue of abortion, the woman made it plain that she looked down on women for what she perceived was their heartless acts of aborting “babies.”
When I asked her if there was a woman in her presence that suffered from a botched abortion if she would help her, she answered in a haughty manner, "I don't know!!! She chose to do that, so, I just don't know!"
I then asked the question, "From your perception, what do you believe Jesus would do in that circumstance?"
She stared at me, speechless. Her husband, whose head was hung as he stared at the floor finally broke the silence. With a voice that was barely audible, he said, "I believe Jesus would help the woman."
It might not be a good idea to be too hasty about what your supposed savior “believes.”

@nbaclashofclanspro9198 What doesn't breathe on its own, is dependent on a host, and if the host doesn't want it, the host has every right to abort it.
Women and girls do not abort a fetus of nine months gestation. Most are aborted very early in the pregnancy.
And, by the way, if your sister, or your mother, or your grandmother became pregnant, and wanted a late-term abortion, would you rather she go to a back-street unqualified person, or, to a medical physician, that was trained to perform abortions?
Please answer that question .... if you DARE.

@nbaclashofclanspro9198 Many women who claim to be against having abortions, sneak off and have abortions, and then sit in their churches, mosques, and synagogue, as though they are innocent.
When doctor Morgentaler started his illegal clinic in Montreal, Canada, 80 percent of the women that came to him for abortions were Catholic.
Do you think that their peers in the parishes were aware that they had those abortions?
Of course they would pretend, because it they didn't, people of your mentality would keep on bullying them, and referring to them as being murderers.

@willpayne3475 There is a reason that the medical words, zygote, embryo, fetus, and baby are all different.
If women want to be pregnant, they will all use the word "baby" as reference to their joy of being pregnant. Been there ... did that ... four times.
For whatever reasons, f they don't want to be pregnant, women in despair, will even use the word "parasite," to explain the pregnancies.
You can judge their "morality" if it pleases you, and makes you feel all powerful, and maybe HOLY ... but they are still going to rid their bodies of the embyos, and fetuses, and anyone with a sense of common decency, would want those women to survive the abortions.

@willpayne3475 The subject is abortion.
I hope you read the following.

@patrickbertlein4626 Pertaining to politics, rather than Extreme Left, or Extreme Right ... the word Centrist implies middle of the road ... moderate ... as in "not going to extremes either way."
In a country where people vote, the object is, the voters are either for or against certain issues, and for that reason, will vote for either one party, or the other.
For instance ... those who believe that abortion offends the will of a god, will be voting for the party that promises to make abortion illegal. While those who want to give women the power to make their own decisions, will vote for the party that promises to keep abortion legal. When it pertains to the subject of abortion, there isn't any middle of the road.
Gun control, or the lack thereof is another touchy subject, where voters either vote for one side, or the other side on that issue.
I suggest that politicians in the Centrist party, by trying to follow the middle of the road, will ultimately leave the middle of the road; veer off either to the extreme left, or to the extreme right ... which has occurred to every group of politicians that tried to improve the old system for something new, and hopefully more agreeable to everyone.

For whatever reasons, if they are desperate to not be pregnant, some women will even refer to what is in them as being parasites.
You can judge what you are certain is their “sin-filled lack of morality" if it pleases you, and makes you feel all powerful, and maybe even holier than thou, but they are still going to rid their bodies of the pregnancies, and anyone with a sense of common decency, would want those women to survive the abortions, and be able to go home to those who love them.
From my perception, we must keep abortion clinics with qualified doctors open … legal and available.
