If only the Conservatives would allow employer based insurance to cover birth control.

What about the women who support the bill - are they at war with themselves too.

Liberals just don't think things through.
Yes, women can be misogynists just like men. Women can be power-crazy, controlling and self righteous just like any man who wants to punish women for having sex.

Really? And yet the most liberal places on earth have the lowest abortion rates, while the Conservative places have the highest.

Seems liberals do a better job of preventing abortions than conservatives. But that could be because conservatives are too busy teaching their kids abstinence only, so their uneducated teenagers end up getting pregnant quite often.

No, "everyone" does NOT "know" that abortion is "murder"....


YOU do NOT speak for "everyone" because YOU do NOT know what everyone thinks.


I do NOT believe legal abortion is murder .

We will drop it when the right stops its ongoing war on women.

Jan Brewer signs 'life begins at menstruation' bill, the most draconian anti-abortion law so far

Gee, should a woman have an alcoholic drink or elective surgery during her period? If "life begin at menstruation." the medical profession will be held liable for allowing an elective surgical procedure to be done on a woman during her period.

most women I know who had abortions do not regret them one bit.
Sad to hear there are so many women without a conscience.

abortion is taking responsibility. conscience? sounds more like judgment, control and punishment

Daily Kos: Jan Brewer signs 'life begins at menstruation' bill, the most draconian anti-abortion law so far

But they tell us there is no war on women.


How did Arizona vote for such a witch as Brewer?
The Republicans are going to lose BIG!
yes, the definition is suspect at least. However, it still does not constitute a war on women. Abortion is not about women's rights at all. It is a question of whether we (the U.S) want to endorse killing babies as a means of birth control. Hasn't anyone heard of adoption?

Actually now it's whatever the government tells us. The government decides what is morally right or wrong via legislation.

And that is why there is this divide between religion and the government.
