Bet you buy a lot of things made in China.

Looks like you don't have a problem with YOUR money going to support China's forced abortion policies, huh?

You even give them your money willingly....unlike the taxes you pay that you claim support abortion by choice in this country.

Says a lot, doesn't it?

Oh....that's right.... you don't mind supporting our wars with your tax money.......as long as it contributes to YOUR comfort and well being....it's OK. You no doubt justify buying "Made in China" the same way.
BOOM! ZING! Great post!


It'll go over her head like a comet!

So easy for Americans to condemn China while sucking up China's goods like greedy Oreck's!

Try buying stuff that's NOT made in China. Worse: trying buying something that does NOT have parts made in China.

Oh I agree! It's tough but then I don't bad mouth the Chinese.

Yea, it's tough.....but it can be done.

I remember watching an expose on NBC that followed a family that furnished their home with nothing but products made in the USA.....their furniture, appliances, clothing......everything.

As for her computer.....you can live without one.....I have several friends that do. That goes for cell phones too.....I live quite happily without one.

What the hell does buying consumer products from China have to do with selective abortion here in the US ?

Talk about going off on a tangent.....

As edited by the "news" source you used.

Services to insure the health of the pregnant mother ARE covered by Medicare, the actual abortion is not. With all the scrutiny PP has been under by the religious Taliban in this country, I cannot be convinced of your misinformation.

Some states DO cover abortion with medicaid. Several states have accepted the Hyde amendment and added more circumstances to it.

Funding for Abortion under Medicaid
Funding under Hyde Amendment Only: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.

Hyde Amendment and Additional Health Circumstances: Indiana (physical health), Iowa (fetal abnormality), Mississippi (fetal abnormality), Utah (physical health and fetal abnormality), Virginia (fetal abnormality), and Wisconsin (physical health).

All or Most Health Circumstances: Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.

Noncompliant with the Hyde Amendment: South Dakota (life endangerment only).

I do believe China was brought into the conversation by a pro-lifer.

And in other threads, Janelle has pointed out her reasoning for the necessity of the US going to war.....and killing innocent women, children and fetuses.....and why she doesn't mind her tax dollars supporting it.

So...........my comment was right on point.

BTW....my post was a tangent?

Oh.......never mind......we are all used to pro-lifer's exaggerating.
