Good bye and good luck, I'm not going to waste any more of my time on you.
I take it you failed biology class then in high school. That human in the womb doesn't suddenly become a human at 6 months, despite what someone in a black robe said (the SCOTUS also insisted the tomato is a vegetable).

Slavery was legal for centuries in North America, but that doesn't mean it wasn't wrong.

Glad they woke up and did the right thing.

We need less appeasement of the reactionary fundies who want to live in a Christian version of Iran.

I've been sick and tired for years with the anti-abortion crowd and will continue to oppose them and their religious neanderthals.

BTW: An exec at Komen is so upset about the cuts to PP, that she has resigned in protest; Komen will regret this fiasco for many years.
I agree. If these anti-abortion crowds want to stop abortion they should stop having sex. Let's see how many men sign that pledge. Surely, they have one somewhere all ready prepared.

Now there is notice that Komen has also pulled its funding support for stem-cell research. They have moved fully into the realm of being a political activist organization that is not worthy of our support.

Truckin apparently says whatever comes to his mind at the moment. His "observations" aren't worthy of consideration.

You are seriously advocating that high school sex ed instructors should perform pelvic exams on their students? Talk about one sick and twisted mind!!!

He is just trying to ruffle feathers.

Heck, where I'm from, the righties whined until sex-ed was removed. More of the "freedom" they keep hollering about.

Do you really think black women are aborting against their will?

If your argument weren't so disgusting, it would be laughable.
What a typical liberal response....actually it doesn't even make sense and yes I think abortion should be illegal.
