    The first two edited videos, yes, and other clips that were shown from the first two unedited videos.

    As fo Terri Schiavo's "estranged" husband, he was appointed her legal guardian and the family didn't object at the time.

    That's what legal guardian means, make decisions for those who are unable.

    What a life she lived, a persistent vegetative state for 15 years. Sign me up.

    The family actually wanted him to divorce her at one point, and a judge noted that they would have received some of the money that had been placed in trust for her if he had divorced her, and she had subsequently died.

    First, it's hard to take the site seriously when they misspell Gosnell's name in the first sentence.

    Second, your own link says that there were 39 maternal deaths to illegal abortions in 1972, not six, as you claim.

    Third, that Finland study that your site is citing mentions all the women who died from various causes and how they weren't registered as being pregnant, not that they had died from abortion-related complications.

    Fourth, most of that original article cites a book by David Reardon, who is ... the very founder of the web site that you posted. Yeah, there's a real unbiased source. He's citing his own book as a source.

    Come on, man. Frantically google some unbiased source to back up your claims.

    Mary was the Amy Schumer of her day but it wasn't so cool to fuck 14 guys a month back then. But she knew had to spin a good yarn.

    And as much as Baron gets shit on here (#BecauseItsFunny), "the choice to have an abortion is a good thing both for individual and for society" is the correct answer.

    At one point I may have been 100% abortion at any point in the pregnancy but that stance has softened a bit. If you reach 6 months you should probably finish the deal. It would seem that testing these days would reveal any abnormalities within those first 6 months. The flip side of that is if you mandate pregnancy to full term at 6 months, women who still want a late-stage abortion would find the back-alley types and that's no good for anyone. Pregnancy slash abortion is one issue that needs to be left alone. We must provide women the full range of abortion options from conception to late term. If they want to terminate, let them terminate and let's just accept that it happens without judgment.

    That said, do you think Mary ever told the guy she thinks impregnated her?

    It's pretty easy to be for abortion when you think about it as a clump of cells.

    But, if you're familiar with the various stages of development, you come to realize that what's being removed/killed resembles a functioning human being long before 6 months.

    It's why having a child makes so many people reevaluate/change their position, and why simply seeing an ultrasound has the potential to change the mind of a pregnant woman who might be considering an abortion.

    Women should not be asked or be forced to see an ultrasound.

    I didn't say they should be forced to. But, it does have the potential to change minds, and it's why Planned Parenthood doesn't want them to see one.
