I don't know what the problem is with abortion. A disapportionate % of them are minorities. We should be grateful. It means less crime and less low lifes on welfare.

Quote from IShopAtPublix:
Should not this be obvious? Let's try the socratic method on you. Do you think it would be right for a firefighter to not go put out fire at a convicted felon's house? Should a policeman intervene if he sees a prostitute getting assaulted?
Medicine is a special profession. It emphasizes SERVICE. You do no harm(I realize religious nutcases on ET will grab on to this phrase and think it applies to a collection of cells but it does not). If you allow doctors to pick and choose to do whatever the hell they want, it becomes the end of the profession. There is no place for "conscientious objectors" in medicine.
If you go into branch of medicine that conceivably could call upon you to perform abortions (I assume it would be OB/GYN or something related) you should make damn sure you are ready for that possibility. There are many doctors who are not qualified to perform abortions even if they wanted to.
I always get angry at idiot pharmacists (usually in fly over states) who refuse to dispense legal birth control medicine "for personal" reasons. Those fools should have their license revoked immediately.

Bullshit. Plain and simple. The most ardent supporters of pro life have always been religious freaks.
A collection of cells is not a human. Roe v Wade is perfection.

Whats this? The country is supposed to be moving to the left and abandoning Republican issues. At least thats what the media would have you believe. How do we explain this little anomaly? It must be bad data.
Bad data. Bad, bad data. Behave yourself.
Quote from seneca_roman:
Another poll somewhat contradicts the OP's poll and that is a very recent CNN poll that shows strong support for leaving Roe v Wade alone:
"The 1973 Roe versus Wade decision established a woman's constitutional right to an abortion, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe versus Wade decision, or not?"
30% Yes, overturn
68% No, not overturn"

So Gallup screwed it up? Whenever dems can't get their way with polls they attack the pollsters. I would expect no less.
