Humans do not have the right to overbreed like cockroaches and use up all the planet's resources and habitats. How about the two billion humans who don't have access to potable water or enough to eat. And where do these figures come from that half of the women who have abortions are pressured into them by boyfriends, parents or others. How about all the women who are forced to bear the children of their rapists or abusive family members like their fathers?<div><br></div><div>Ed</div><div><br><div><div><div>On Jun 26, 2013, at 10:50 PM, ELLEN ROSSER wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Senator Wendy Davis is not my hero. My hero would be one who defended the rights of the most helpless of humans, the babies who aren't seen and aren't heard and therefore who aren't protected by those who claim to want to help the defenseless. The basic character and appearance of a person are determined at the moment of conception when the DNA of that unique human being is created. Does that person have no rights? And what about the rights of the 50% of the women who have abortions who are pressured into having it by boyfriends or parents or others? Have they no rights? And what about the 20% of the women who have abortions who suffer from PTSD because of having an abortion? And what about the thousand or so teenagers and women who commit suicide every year because of stress and grief of having an abortion?<div>
Does anyone think about these people and their rights?</div><div> Peace and blessings, Ellen</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 5:06 PM, Linda Jupiter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jupiter@mcn.org" target="_blank">jupiter@mcn.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
