Aaah...that is so obscene. It's a sick world, and I don't see religious leaders denouncing rape and incest...but they're mostly men, and no doubt locked and loaded.

Wouldn't surprise me if Republicans tried to pass a law requiring women to wear chastity belts and burkas.

Back to the thread, all of us should be prepared to defend ourselves in our increasingly lawless society. The police are at least ten minutes away, but a .380 bullet is only 1000 FPS away.
The first part is the basis of the thread. So you're saying it isn't about being prepared, there are still instances when abortion is needed.

So now you're pro choice, in extremely rare cases, right?

The article isn't very clear. Republicans want to remove abortion coverage from what? Medicaid? If that's the case they are absolutely right. The taxpayer ought not to be forced to pay for abortions, period.

And they want to prevent health insurance plans from covering it too.

All rhetoric aside about "spare tires" and other nonsense...will abortion change anything? Is it the child's fault that daddy was a scumbag?

Abortion is a private decision and government has no business being involved in any way.

But it results in the death of an innocent life.
