All these things happen every day, business and corporations making money AND abortion services being provided. The whole health care/abortion issue is a smoke screen and something only the really gullible actually believe is a "real" issue.

Unless each person was completely independent from society there is a good change something they do is somehow going to "pay for" someone else to do something they don't approve of. And if it wasn't abortion it would be something else. That's a fact.
True.

Personally, I don't mind helping pay for abortions for women who want them. I do donate to PP (although, I donate mostly because I want them to have more of an outreach for awareness and women's health) and I have been an escort for women when they were trying to get into the clinic.

I'm sure I pay for a lot of things I may not agree with, but that's part of being in a society of people.

I have to wonder why people who are pro-choice/pro-abortion and rant on about keeping the government out of their bodies aren't more upset about the government being about to dictate every aspect of their health via socalized medicine.

Isn't that the height of hypocrisy?

Not really, because I don't believe that the Government will be dictating every aspect of my health via socialized medicine. I suggest you research the health bill a bit more before making such claims.

My insurance company is currently doing that though. And I have the "good" insurance.

3) Easy access to birth control for teenagers.

The Christian right stands against all these meaningful ways to really lower the abortion rate.

The fact of the matter is they don't care about "The babies"

They care about the thrill that comes from pointing fingers at Americans and working to compel them to do their will via government legislation.
Agree! Additionally if they truely cared for the babies, they'd line up at child welfare and protection services across the nation to demand access to children on the adoption dole. No access to abortion? Then you need to step up as the individual purporting this and adopt these unwanted children.

I'm also not going to force women to become human incubators to make some random people feel warm and fuzzy inside that they 'saved a baby'.

I support Obama in his PRO CHOICE decisions.
Very well said.

Oh yeah because adoption works. Tell that to the scores of kids living in the system until they are turn out at 18. Oh yeah, nice choice there. I get to live in a group home until 18, and then guess what. Its a clap on your back and a "good luck"! Adoption is not the answer. It is obvious that the adoption system is overtaxed as it exists. Remove the option for abortion and the Child Protective Services sector will crumble.

THIS IS EXTREMELY URGENT. In just a few days, your elected leaders will be voting on the 2,300-page, multi-trillion-dollar health care bill ... virtually ripping up the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Please understand: The proposed legislation mandates shocking levels of taxpayer funding for abortion. It ABSOLUTELY INCLUDES Planned Parenthood clinics in your children's and grandchildren's schools.
It is now more important than ever for your voice to be heard on ...
  • The federal government's plan to take over one-fifth of the U.S. economy through nationalization of the American health care system.
  • Abortion funding in health care - including Planned Parenthood clinics in public schools - being jammed down the throats of the American people.
  • The use of a legislative scheme called "reconciliation" or any other unconstitutional method to force flawed health care on the American public!

That's funny. Has anyone actually believed this nonsense elsewhere that you have posted?

in this case at least the child has a "chance" that someone will love him

keep your legs closed if u yourself cant handle the ability God gave you to create a child inside of u..women are lucky in that aspect...they have an ability to say when and who they want to open thier legs for to become tha father of their child..Men dont have that ability so a woman should be more responsible knowing how her biology works...no one is saying that there aren't duesch bag dead beat dads out here...im saying a woman has control of her body and should know what her body is capable of....I mean what else do women want...they want freedom to abort their child...they want equal rights...while at the same time expecting the man to provide or at least have the ability to provide...they want to make fun of guys in the media all the time...they want to go to bars and get "free" drinks just for being a woman...they want extra attention compared to their brother growing up because their parents dont want daddy's girl to be corrupted by society...i can go on about what women want...as a movie with the same name has already been released,....what about a movie about what men want......yeah there are dogs out there ...and alot of dogs as far as men goes but we are expected to do everything and get the blame for everything that goes wrong...let your kid live women..dont kill em because you grew up in a society like the one i just mentioned in my run-on sentence...be a man...or actually 'be a woman' in your cases

keeping your legs closed is one of the lamest statements people use about cutting down abortion. it is hardly that simple. you really think irresponsible people are going to suddenly become responsible and keep their legs closed? the prostitute and the drug addicted? the runaway trying to survive on the streets? or do they not count?

sex happens and people should not stop having it because there is a chance of pregnancy.


..women are lucky in that aspect...they have an ability to say when and who they want to open thier legs for to become tha father of their child..
what world do you live in that women always get to have a say in who has sex with them? women and girls are victims of rape, incest. you see only your ideal world when you say stuff like this.

Men dont have that ability so a woman should be more responsible knowing how her biology works...
men are just as responsible as women when they both engage in sex. talk about sexist

I mean what else do women want...they want freedom to abort their child...they want equal rights...while at the same time expecting the man to provide or at least have the ability to provide...they want to make fun of guys in the media all the time...they want to go to bars and get "free" drinks just for being a woman...they want extra attention compared to their brother growing up because their parents dont want daddy's girl to be corrupted by society...

this is so ass backward that it is just laughable that anyone with half a brain would consider this line of thinking.

i can go on about what women want...as a movie with the same name has already been released,....what about a movie about what men want......yeah there are dogs out there ...and alot of dogs as far as men goes but we are expected to do everything and get the blame for everything that goes wrong...let your kid live women..dont kill em because you grew up in a society like the one i just mentioned in my run-on sentence...be a man...or actually 'be a woman' in your cases
your posts make me wonder how old you are 14?
