I prefer to think of it as a saving of human life rather than a war on women. If a woman doesn't want to get pregnant then she should take precautions not to get that way.
If only the Conservatives would allow employer based insurance to cover birth control.
War on women? Ummm....Jan Brewer IS a woman. Do you think that she is at war with herself?
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.
That's way too far over the heads of libs. They'll never understand something that complicated.
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.
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.
women don't start their post with I had an abortion for one because it is no ones business except her's. you do not need a "qualifier" to have an opinion on the matter. just as you don't need to say I have a gun when posting about gun rights.
most women I know who had abortions do not regret them one bit.
Sad to hear there are so many women without a conscience.
The life begins at menstruation law goes into effect in 90 days:
It sets the gestational age as beginning on the first day of a woman’s last period, rather than at fertilization. Which, in practice, means that a virgin can get pregnant and instead of barring abortions after 20 weeks as the law states, actually cuts the time to 18 weeks.
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?
Duh, whenever the sky god and his wonder kid tell us!
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.
