Careful what you ask for. ALL of us have a genetic defect of some type. If both parents are dark headed and dark eyed, and the baby has blonde hair and blue eyes, that is a genetic defect. If a child is born with a mole, that is a genetic defect. Skin tags? Same thing. So, where do you draw the line? All red heads are genetic defects so they must be aborted or killed? The child is missing a toe, the hair is curly and should be straight, or straight and it should be curly? What's next? Kill all babies (and adults) that do not have blonde hair and blue eyes? Kill all those with the genetic defect of being Jewish, or Muslim, or Christian?

Actually it's LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Of course you have NO principles so no matter how it's worded you still support killing someone to make another person feel better. Abortion IS murder, morally AND scientificly. A child has it's own blood type by 23 days which is pumped by their own heart. http://www.birth.com.au/Pregnancy-week-by-week/Week-5 The argument that it is just a collection of cells is an argument from 1973 and is no longer acceptable. By the time you know you are pregnant the child has developed to the point that it is an individual organism with it's own blood supply and a heart and nervous system. It DOES feel pain, it DOES have brain activity, and it DOES deserve to be treated like a human being.

Abortion denies life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to another human being. You aregument is that the denial to one person is justified because of the temporary inconvenience to another. And as for Genetic Defect, one of the greatest minds in science is Stephen Hawking. Should he have been aborted? How condecending to say that someone with a genteic defect isn't worth life. Can't contribute. How petty and small are you?

Recently, Ann Coulter wrote a controversial column suggesting that numerous Republican losses in the 2012 election cycle could be tied to the GOP stance on abortion. After lamenting the problem, she suggested a solution: the GOP should officially abandon its opposition to the so-called rape exception to a ban on abortion.
Ann's position on this matter is wrong for three reasons. First, it is unprincipled. Second, it will not be received with the popular support she envisions. Third, it is not the best political response to the problem. After elaborating on each problem associated with Ann's position, I propose an...
