Loss of Life vs. Loss of Liberty?

Back on January 22nd of this year, the 37nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade was marked. For the less informed, Roe v. Wade was a very important landmark supreme court case involving personal freedom and abortion. Under certain stipulations, it basically gave women the personal choice and option of abortion. Ever since then, abortion has been subject of hot debate in the political arena.

One Utah republican representative, Carl Wimmer, wishes to overturn that controversial decision that defended women's choice and liberty.

The U.S. recorded over 1,200,000 abortions in 2006-7 and Carl Wimmer hopes to decrease those numbers. His legislation ideas have already passed as law in Utah and he hopes all other U.S. states will follow his lead in a way of "slowly chipping away at the nation's abortion laws." Under Wimmer's new "Criminal and Abortion Revisions," women and girls are charged with murder for having miscarriages caused by an "intentional or knowing act." Follow the above link to find out why Mr. Wimmer was subsequently motivated to design this new Utah statewide law.



Ha! This is another great example of some political official doing whatever HE thinks is good for the community. So many other issues/people/systems should be held accountable here; not these women who are, in my opinion, most likely getting knocked up by deadbeats. And that is without even talking about the personal problem of liberty and right here!

Do I think killing an unborn baby is right?
No.

Do I think abortion should be a choice?
Yes.

The determining decision in Roe v. Wade sustained the principles of our Nation's birth!
FREEDOM=CHOICE
CHOICE=FREEDOM

I'm not evil. Is killing a unborn baby who has no say in the matter selfish and wrong? Of course. But more importantly, is it right for our national Gov't to make the most private and personal decisions for us?
Fill in your own responses here....

Rose Aguiler, a journalist for the "Smirking Chimp," interviews Rep. Wimmer and is able to poke him enough until the standard bureaucratic backpedal was spoken. Replies from Mr. Wimmer were contradicting.

-The Smirking Chimp is a source more utilized by all types of liberal minded individuals. The more socially liberal group will find Rose Aguilar's opinions agreeable and suitable. The Libertarian crowd could also enjoy her editorial. The rhetoric used in her discussion makes her logic plausible and her argument sound.
