Are pro-choicers also against mandatory seat-belt laws?

Sway you really brought out the pathetic left wing wack jobs on this one. Its sickening to read some of the selfish answers, and the insane ones about insurance that makes it obvious they have no clue as to what your asking. The "my body my choice" line is total bull and is just as wrong and sickening, but thats the point of your question. The pro-choice baby killers want to have that option at their disposal. They could care less about the baby, its all about them and their selfish needs. But, ironically, when it comes to basically the same thing regarding their own lives they care just as less about themselves as they do about the unborn child. So yes, it seems they have issues with unserstanding the difference between an actual right and a desire, and they also have issues with any type of authority or controlling figures in regards to human lives. Therefore one must conclude, that they have no regard for human life irregardless. .

Yes, I happen to know that every single person who is pro choice is against seat belt laws. (Please note sarcasm).

No. There is no question that a born child is a person. Nice try - no, wait, no it wasn't.

I don't get the connection. I would be curious to read what yours is.

Well, your connection is tenuous at best. Just let me say that a women's right to choose isn't responsible for thousands of deaths a year. Not wearing a seat belt is.

I think seatbelt laws are similar to helmet laws. There shouldn't be a need for a law. It's a person's right to choose if they want to go through a windshield in a car accident, or crack his skull open on the pavement in a motorcycle accident. Honestly, let people decide for themselves. There's enough educational films and programs out there that no one should have the excuse, "I didn't know I'd spill half my brain on the street without a helmet!"

As far as pro-choice...it needs to be regulated. No late-term abortions, but who is to define "late-term"?

I realize that the issue of "MY RIGHTS END WHERE ANOTHER'S BEGIN" is always something you people aren't going to understand.

Put another way: If I have an abortion, your insurance premiums don't go up.

Your not wearing a seatbelt affects WAY more than just YOU. Who's going to provide for your kids because YOU were stupid?

Me and the state, that's who.

Abortion is ultimately the decision of the woman. So sorry.

No, it isn't "just another choice" actually.
Having an abortion may, in fact, decrease the insurance rates of "others" - while not wearing a seat belt is proven to increase the insurance costs of "others".

Two different things entirely. Limp arguments beating a dead horse don't even shoo away flies.

We do not need to be told how to live. However things such as insurance and taxes punish us for the actions of others. I always buckle and speed. I was in a situation that made abortion the best solution. Individuals rights end where others begin. So you draw the line.

The Other Guy

This is a silly, yet typical, question. It tries to equate two things that are not the same to make a point that cannot be made by sticking to the facts.

Seat belt laws are in place because the state has an interest in the health and lives of its citizens, so it is free to create laws to protect said health and lives. The choice of having an abortion does not risk the lives of any citizens, and making it illegal can actually have a negative effect on the health of citizens.

A better question to ask, as the two sides actually do relate to each other, would be if anti-choice crusaders adopt a lot of unwanted children.

Phoenix Princess of Darkness

And a very interesting idea at that.

In the end, we must sometimes limit the choices people have for their own good. I do not support the "it's my body, my choice" argument in favor of abortion.

Diggy

well yes. i'm smart enough to buckle up when in a vehicle. i don't need the government to tell me to do that.

Reported for insulting my belief

I am. But I believe abortion should be regulated. No late term.

Anyone know of any good steak houses???

conx-the-dots

Nope. We are already here..viable...driving cars..planes, etc..etc....

katydid

Yes, actually. I am!

Wow, another non sequitur from a right winger...how shocking!

Laughing Man Copycat

I almost never wear my seat belt...but I can't make the tie in to the abortion issue. Call me stupid, but I'm not getting it.

Okay--now that I've wiped the diet coke off my monitor, I will say GOOD Q SWAY!!!

The answer of course is that IT IS THEIR BODY THEIR CHOICE (don't know wht cows have to do with this). If someone tells them they need to wear a seat belt--DAMN THEM! They won't just for spite. Kinda how some pro-choicers feel about preventative BC, don't you think?

ROTFL-Libs are out in full force. Now abortion is an insurance rate issue!

United_Peace

Why should they? They have a choice of protecting their own bodies inside their own cars! Anyway, you can also expect these pro-choice folks to use seat belts when they drive around in nations without seat-belt laws.

And please, never expect that banning abortion in the US does stop anyone, with means, not to travel abroad for abortions if they really are determined to have it. Banning abortion here in the US is only one way to tell poor women in America that their bodies are under the control of the US. government and US courts... nothing more!

As a pro-lifer I'm against mandatory seat belt laws (for adults that is).

With pregnancy it's not just your body.

Good question.

It's OK to kill a baby, just don't kill a cow for food.

cynical

I'm a such a Libertarian that I'm against seat-belt laws. I think is part of a nanny state and not a democratic society, you're right is one more choice to think about. Is my body and if I want to wear a seat belt is my choice. I know other Libertarians that feel the same way. I'm Pro-choice.
