View Poll Results: Can you be a feminist and be against abortion?
A far more interesting question (to me) is--to those who are pro-choice to any extent--do you believe that if a person murders a pregnant woman and the fetus dies, should he be charged with double murder (assuming the fetus is developed only to the point at which you believe abortion should still be legal)? If so, how can you resolve the obvious conflict in those positions?
Jenna, Keep up the good fight but you soon will find out that most the posters on this board do not care if a mother takes their child’s life. Many have debated but there is no changing their view. According to most here; It is the mothers right to take the babies life until it has popped out screaming and crying. Forget about the baby, forget about the father, it is the mothers right since she is carrying it. It is her body and nobody can tell her what to do with it.

again, go back to my hinge. even if the conception is a result of rape or incest, is it still a person? i know someone to whom this happened too. she was raped, but she kept the child. although it was horribly painful for her, she doesn't regret that she now has her daughter as a result of that. aborting the baby will not take away the pain of the rape. and i know, carrying it to term would be hell. but horrible things happen to good people. i don't mean to sound like i'm trivializing it, because i know i can't imagine how horrible that would be. but murder is murder is murder.
The reason I said up to the first trimester is because I do feel women should have a legal course of action vs. an illegal one. I would prefer adoption but I don't feel enough mothers would follow through.

Yes it should be double murder.
I can resolve because I can accept a certain amount of hypocracy in my views.

You mean like whats his face in the bay area??
Yeah... I didn't get that.
The only thing I can think of is she made a choice to have the baby therefor it was murder on his part.
Which brings up an problem I have with abortion.
As a male I do not have to go through anywhere near the crap women have to go through but without me you cannot get prego. So how does a soon to be father fight a mother from having an abortion?
right now.... he can't.

yes. the tragic nature of the story doesn't change a thing. but why do you keep bringing it up? what about cases when both the mother and the baby would be fine?
