How'z that for chutzpah, eh?
Life News?

How about citing a non-biased source?

So, you think, a "politico" can't choose to carry her pregnancy to term, while simultaneously supporting other women's right to choose otherwise?

Um... I don't follow your logic.

Exactly.

I wonder if the people who have a problem understanding this also believe you can't be for gay rights unless you are gay?

Sure you do. She became a political star for her filibuster opposing abortion restrictions. But Texas is a politically conservative state and she's trailing her opponent by 15 points.

But what the hey, she's a Democrat, so lying is okay. Know what I mean all you Obama voters?

I think many people have the same view, I would fit in that category and my position is not based on religion or politics. I have no issue with something like the morning after pill but the age old question is where is the line after that?

This is far too complicated topic, personally I would hope that any pregnancy is not terminated simply for convenience but as society I'm not sure where out place is intervening if the mother does want to terminate. Firstly what kind of life is that kid going to have? Then you have a whole other issue of rights of the pregnant woman. What about the rights of the Father.....?

I'm out here....

Pro-life is a propaganda term made up by anti-choice folks. Being pro-choice does not make you anti-life.

Are you being deliberately dense, or is it something you can't help?

One more try... Davis can CHOOSE to carry her pregnancy to term, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, filibuster an abortion law in order to insure that OTHER women in Texas have the right to make to make the OPPOSITE choice if they so desire.

That does NOT make her a liar or a hypocrite. It makes her a principled representative of her constituents.
