You see money going into the coffers of political candidates and their campaign and that is fundamentally wrong. This goes for the right too.

These two have become two fat cat financial lobbies and it's money underneath the table, that is all it comes down to.

I actually went to a planned parenthood to find out if I was pregnant with my first, the one that was forced on me. They listened to me, gave me my options and phone numbers of both doctors to abort or keep and adoption centers as well as mental health. I cried they listened and tried to help. At least that is what they were like back in 86.

I have four kids as well. One was forced upon me by someone I thought liked me. I kept him, but I know the feeling and what I had to go through. The choice needs to be there for the woman that need to make that choice or they could go to extremes.
Ray Bradbury might have written..."first the body...then the mind..." when describing future government involvement in our lives. It is a serious matter in terms of liberty. You know, that thing that makes being American unique.

I don't disagree...in my second paragraph I said that I wouldn't be opposed to it in those cases.

BTW, much respect for keeping your child.

What do you mean forced

If they do just that, I can empathize with them.

I wish these guys would keep their bums out of the issue on the whole. Leave it to the Judiciary or something.
The judiciary has already spoken on the issue: Roe v. Wade.

As for funding abortion, I'm not to keen on it myself, but it's not a terribly big deal to me.

Of course, most of what we have heard from the GOP on how much PP uses money for abortions was horse****...Kyl, LOL.

Oh, so in that circumstance, it's not murder?

Murder is a legal term. Quit throwing it around like it's something you understand.

If you're pro-life, it means (usually) you wish to impose your belief legislatively, and you vote that way. Your belief must be EVERYONE'S belief, under pain of imprisonment, or fines.

Big difference, IMO. That's why you're a "d1ck", as you say.
In General^^^^^^^^^^^this posts sums it up!
