Those statistics are eleven years old now. Maybe you're #1 by now.

From all the news we keep hearing about AZ it looks as if maybe some there are getting a bit too much sun.

It's not as if they don't already have trouble paying for all the countless undocumented immigrants there, now they want to pay welfare for the children born to mothers who cannot support them.

My thoughts on Arizona at this point?

Absent from every liberal abortion argument is the idea that if you keep your legs closed, then unwanted pregnancies drop substantially. Why is it that Leftists simply ignore this when defending abortion? You'd have a lot more credibility if you decried abortion as vociferously as you defend the right to do it.

1. It's "illegal immigrants."

2. It shouldn't be too much trouble to expect people to
-a- GET A JOB or ensure you will have a job if/when you have children
-b- Don't put yourself in a situation where you can get pregnant if you cannot meet Requirement A.

Don't even attempt to bring up rape/incest because you know that is not the
majority of abortion cases.

The rest of us are tired of paying for everyone else's
poor planning
and
lack of responsibility.

If, however, you wish to take out that tiny little violin, open your own wallet as well.
I'm sick of it.

Liberals don't believe in self-control.

Yeh. So let's just kill the babies and bring that rate down. Great moral and ethical idea.

Women don't need abortions. The Bachmann's will just adopt them.
