Q: Bush/kerry On Abortion

asked by: smith8500 on October 21st, 2004

The partial-birth abortion procedure -- used from the fifth month on -- involves pulling a living baby feet-first out of the
womb, except for the head, puncturing the skull and suctioning out the brain. The great majority of partial-birth
abortions are performed on healthy babies of healthy mothers.

George w. Bush v john kerry
government funding of abortion

george w. Bush opposes using tax dollars to pay for
abortion. During his first week in office, president bush
reinstated the mexico city policy, which cut off tax funds to
groups that promote abortion overseas.

John kerry supports using tax dollars to pay for abortion.
Kerry said that his first executive order would be to
“reverse the mexico city policy,” and thereby give tax
funds to groups that promote abortion overseas.
Supreme court appointments

george w. Bush stated that he will appoint supreme court
justices who share his conservative philosophy and who will
strictly interpret the constitution according to its text. (the
text of the constitution contains no right to abortion.)

john kerry has stated that if elected president he would
appoint only supreme court justices who support the
1973 supreme court decision that legalized abortion on
demand. He declared, “...I will support only pro-choice
judges to the supreme court. Some may call this a
litmus test...”

partial-birth abortion

president george w. Bush promoted and signed the partial-
birth abortion ban act into law.

Senator john kerry voted against the partial-birth
abortion ban act every chance he got -- six times.
Abortion on demand

george w. Bush opposes the 1973 supreme court decision
that legalized abortion on demand and he supports legal
protection for unborn children.

John kerry supports the 1973 supreme court decision
that legalized abortion on demand -- even as a method of
birth control.
Record on life

george w. Bush has repeatedly supported legislation which
would protect unborn children and people with disabilities.
George w. Bush signed “laci and conner’s law,” which
recognizes as victims unborn children who are killed or
injured in violent federal crimes.
George w. Bush supported legislation to prevent minor
daughters from being taken across state lines for secret
abortions in order to avoid parental notice laws.

John kerry, during his 20 years in the senate, voted 79
times to support abortion.
John kerry voted against “laci and conner’s law,” which
recognizes as victims unborn children who are killed or
injured in violent federal crimes.
John kerry voted against notifying a parent before
performing an abortion on a minor daughter.

Thank you for this information.......And just so eveyone knows....Kerry says that partial birth abortion should be allowed if it hinders the mothers health.........We could say bravo........But what he doesn't say is that by the mothers health....He means mental health...Financial health......Social health........And things of this sort. This is a fact, I assure you. I did a report on this issue.....And was disgusted of what people shoved under the 'health' catagory.......Of course a womans financial health is going to suffer.......And of course her social health will not be the same as it was before.....Wow.

That is disgusting.....
I dont want my tax dollars going towards abortion either... What if one woman gets 5 or 6.. I have to keep paying for that? I dont think so!
I had to pay for my abortion out of my own hardearned money and thats the consequences of decisions... People shouldnt turn to the other people for everything...

ok now multiple abortions.. I don't understand.. They must not be using birth control or something because I don't see how it can fail that often.. The reason why i'm prochoice is because unplanned pregnancy is something that can really really change your life dramatically and I don't think it's up to me to decide for someone how they handle it based upon my morals and I understand it's unrealistic to expect someone who's not ready for a kid, to be abstinent.. Though I do expect them to be on birth control and use it properly and I understand that birth control can fail sometimes. Multiple abortions... That must mean that person is being provocative or isn't on bc and I really can't understand why unplanned pregnancies can happen that often if you're not being irresponsible but I am still prochoice in this issue because I can't make someone go through something based of my morals and assumptions.. That's just my personal opinion of course..

Well personally, I can't imagine being forced to pay for something through my tax dollars that I don't approve of. And I know the same girl who has had 4 abortions.......And bragged about it.....It's sick.....Do we forget that this country is supposed to embrace life and protect those who can't stand up for their own rights?

Um, honey, your tax dollars go to many, many things that I am sure you don't support. We cannot control where our tax money goes.

If the mother's health is in danger and I mean health as in health, then it should be legal. If it is financial, social, etc. Then no, that is just crazy.
I am prochoice all of the way, but I am also educated enough to know that there is a very small number of pba's that are actually performed for a necessary reason. If it is to spare the mother's life, then okay. If it is because you are a dumb promiscuous person who couldn't keep your legs together and then decided late in the pregnancy that you want to abort then, no. Sorry, to be blunt, but come on now.

I don't support bush trying to get rid of our rights as women, but he won't succeed, so it really doesn't bother me much.
