Even though I'm sure there are women that find it easy to make such a disturbing decision, There are much more of them that have to live with the grief and sorrow of having put themselves in this position.
I feel sorry for those that are so quick to "judge and presume", or that feel their way is the "only" way.
People need correct information!censorship = ignorance!!
- there's enough stupid people in the world with the right information! imagine being censored! yikes!sea_sea

I'll deposit my 2¢ and say that yes, it is wrong for this information to be censored. Rather than focusing efforts upon censorship, they should focus on promoting alternatives to abortion. So in that regard I partially agree with detritus et al. It is the commonest of sins among Christians and right-leaning folks who may or may not eschew Christian values to be builders of walls rather than builders of bridges. It's quite sad, really.
Teleos mentioned it, but this is layman's science 101: everything needed for the development of human life is present in a fertilized egg. Not in detritus' thumb or latest darling little deuce. Therein lies the difference. There is no harm in an egg or a sperm dying, because these things are not human, since they are missing 50% of the necessary DNA. Saying that a fertlized egg is not human because it depends upon its mother for sustenance or because it bears little physical resemblance to a baby is intellectual dishonesty crafted by pro-choice people to allow themselves to sleep at night. It's as intellectually dishonest as saying that a teenager is not a human being because it's not fully grown or capable of supporting itself without the help of parents.
Where do you draw the line? It's a lot easier to kill what cannot be seen rather than that which is before our eyes.
- Well said. I'll add to that and say zygotes/ embryos/ fetuses they are only considered babies when they are wanted by their parents.odinie

again it's the pattern that disturbs me...
americans are ignorant enogh as it is, do they need additional help from the government?

And of course it wasn't just limiting access to pro-abortion material, but all types of info. About as sensible as preventing searches for all material that mentions 'Hitler' if you were worried about neo-Nazis...

Pro-choice IS the government and agency position. So they advocate it for public health.

I'd pretty pissed off if a searchable database run by Planned Parenthood, or a pediatrics association, or whomever, made it difficult to search for terms associated with alternatives to terminating a pregnancy.
No matter what agenda you serve or whichever moral outlook runs your life, limiting access to information, especially in a medical context, is pretty goddamn medieval and backwards.- "I'd *be* pretty pissed..."

- Backwards, and, if you ferret out who made the decision, I'll bet pretty sexist as well.harlequino

Here is the deal, whether or not you think abortion is whatever, these people broke rules. And if you condone that you are a fucking asshole.

If one reads just a little further even you'd see that it's one of nations largest medical databases referenced by thousands of medical journals/records every year.

Headline:
Word "abortion" disappears from US government-funded search engine
- planet010
i don't think this should really be too surprising to anyone
people against abortion aren't going to want to contribute to something that promotes abortion. (even though it's debatable if this site would do that).
Is the only site on the internet? Google anyone? Does anyone really think that someone isn't going to be able to find out about abortion because it's not mentioned on this site? Really, this seems petty and stupid.
This is a private site that is privately funded. They should be able to do whatever they want.
Or, are government funds involved here? If so, does this mean anything? Last time I checked abortion is legal, but does it really need to be promoted or not promoted by an organization.
Are there any legal grounds for being upset by this?
- See: the link from the first post in this thread.Mimio

we seem to be off-topic again

What the fuck does politics or religion have to do with crushing up little kids arms legs and faces and sucking them down a tube ?
Watch it happen, then trivialise it, politicise it or religiosize it, and you are little more than a cunt.

If this were the other way around, I bet some of you would be singing a different tune.
- us being fetuses ?mikotondria3
- no, if pro-choice people were subverting the system, these people would be behaving differently.mrdobolina
