To all who embrace the killing of unborn babies: Your arguments are clever. Satan couldn’t have worded your arguments any better.

There are living cells or "life" in the hair that I leave on the floor in the barber shop, but I don't think that such "life" should be given full human rights. If the wording changes to "potential for human life," then sperm and eggs have the potential for human life even before they are joined together -- why arbitrarily limit the protection of sperm and eggs to the moment that they link up?

The core issue surrounding abortion is, do we really believe in the sanctity of life? Do we believe that life begins at conception or when a child exits the womb? For me, the answer is obvious. God has given almost all women the incredible blessing of being host to the creation of another human being. Someone who is completely distinct and different than the mother from the time of conception. It is a miracle!! So if we really believe that life begins at conception, are we willing to stand against abortion?
For the last few years, I have participated with an organization called 40 Days for Life, that through love and prayers is working to stop abortion. They don't scream and they're not extreme, they have faith in God that hearts will change through prayer. As a result, they have been able to save thousands of babies from abortion, and at the same time have helped the mothers to feel peace . Unfortunately, in Utah at least, very few LDS women actually participate to try to stop abortion. I understand that they are busy with many good humanitarian and service projects. But as I've asked sisters in my wards to join me, only a couple have been willing to get involved. I hope and pray that more of us will recognize the importance of standing with our Christian brothers and sisters to try to stop this evil practice.

While I admire these pro-life activists, they have to be truly dreaming to think that Roe v Wade will be overturned anytime before the Second Coming. There is no way that either Roberts or Kavanaugh will vote for overturning this. Such a vote would unleash a literal war. Get a grip on reality. Even if the Supreme Court would re-consider this decision, which they're not going to do, the best they could hope for would be a 6-3 decision to uphold Roe v Wade.

There are some of us who are very tired. Tired of the extremists on both sides of the issue, NOT TALKING WITH one another but SCREAMING PAST one another for the last 50 years. Uncompromising pro-abortionists yell that it's a zygote/blastocyst/embryo/fetus and it at NO time has any human rights. Uncompromising anti-abortionists yell back that it's a pre-born human and at ALL times has full human rights. Right or wrong, a lot of us are just plain tired of the screaming, uncompromising extremists.

This is nonsense, abortions are at a 40 year low. Roe v Wade gave women control over their own bodies, this isn’t Saudi Arabia or Iran, women should be able to make their own choices. It is misogynistic to limit their freedom.
