You are making an assumption about me, BTW. In case you didn't realize you were doing the same thing you accuse me of doing.

But still, as I've said elsewhere (and you never replied), there are many, many women in the U.S. (and the world) who are pro-life. Why does their opinion not seem to count for anything?The U.S. is not a patriarchal society if you mean mostly men having rights and power. Other states have female governors and we almost had a female president. The patriarchy was common 100 years ago, but those days are over. It is a shame that Alabama is not catching up in the Statehouse, as it did with voting for a woman to control the executive branch, because a clear message was sent that they don't care a lot about women when only one woman supported the bill.
What you are saying reminds me of our nation's drone policy. We use drones to be purposeful, to kill dangerous terrorists before they can strike against us with minimal danger to our troops.
But, as in in-vitro fertilization, where all of a woman's eggs are harvested and fertilized even if only one or two children are contemplated, drones cast a wide net.
Despite their noble purpose, there are frequently innocents who are killed--children, women, civilians.
Part of the intent, both in in-vitro fertilization and drone usage, is the knowledge that, however reluctantly, there will be lives destroyed.

When the egg is fertilized it begins to divide, first it's two, then four, then it's eight. Those cells are not fingernails, those are stem cells with every genetic code for everything in the human body. I remember Clinton early in the campaign made this capricious statement, 'abortion is a health care issue, health care is an American issue, opposing abortion is unamerican'. I don't remember exactly how she said it but it was a gross over simplification of the issue. Women should have total autonomy over what happens to their bodies but where there is an unborn fetus/baby, this is fundamentally different then whether or not you donate an organ. The issue has gotten polarized, which is why I have avoided it like the plague. With Roe v. Wade likely to be revisited I felt it was time to take another look at it. I think conservative states are going too far myself, not that I really disagree in principle. They had better chose their test case wisely or the left will choose for them and conservatives don't want that.
It is not a rape victim's fault if she gets pregnant. Rape is being forced to have sex after she tells him no. Also, too many states (including Alabama) do not have strict sex education laws. It is not the girl's fault if she has no idea contraceptives are necessary at her age.
I will also add that even in the case of rape, not being given the choice to become pregnant does not give you the authority to take the life of another.
I don't know how a rapist can be charged with murder that was committed by a doctor. He did not decide whether the baby should live or die. But there is no reason to punish the doctor for what the father did.
Murder is a legal term meaning the unlawful taking of a human life. Abortion is not illegal thus not murder.
According to God, Yes, the "viable" human life has rights...see my post above...#101 on Scripture wisdom on viable life rights.
Any poll should start with democraphics: if you leave the gender questoin blank you can't continue taking it. Only men voted for Alabama's abortion ban and the reason is self-explanatory.
