What life? Sucked to shreds? please take your pro-life rhetoric to your fellow women haters.

Slavery was 100% legal at one time as well.
And made illegal because it forced other people to do things AGAINST their will.

Simple as that.

It's not a "life". It's a fetus. And I, and only I, am fully aware of the risks to myself that carrying the pregnancy to term entails. I am a life. I represent a major investment by society. I have an education and I have a job. I contribute to society. So yes, I get to make decisions about MY body, and I get to tell you that it's NONE of your business. Because you don't know why I decide to end a pregnancy. And you aren't qualified to determine if my reasons are "good enough".

And the old slavery argument has zero validity as a comparison. The people enslaved WERE people, that's not a matter of belief. They ate and breathed and sang and danced. A fetus does none of that.

And that was, indeed, quite simple to dispose of your arguments.

Go through this thread - and any others - and find one post - ONE - where I have mentioned anything about taxpayers paying for abortions.

You seem to know how to sing only one song...

Opinion, opinion, opinion.
What you and others like you are doing is the old "If I say it enough, it must be true" to keep yourselves from feeling guilty about stopping a beating heart.

But that's your problem, and it's not on my conscience if I've done all I can.
The barbaric nature on this forum is disturbing.

It's not legislation voted on in Congress by elected officials - so it's not technically in the books. It's a courts interpretation of the rules - but whatever, it's just a technicality, right?

It definitely is not directly addressed in the Constitution. Life is mentioned in the First Amendment - but if we can't see it, then there's no life according to liberals.

I guess it just who depends who wears the robes in DC.

I find the barbaric nature on this forum disturbing as well, but for completely different reasons. It's odd that the same people who are against sex education and greater access to contraception are the same people who decry abortions; you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that the lack of knowledge leads to unwanted pregnancies.

If left alone, what would emerge from the birth canal?

From what I've read, they haven't exactly reversed the decision.

I just got off the phone with a Komen board member, and he confirmed that the announcement does not mean that Planned Parenthood is guaranteed future grants — a demand he said would be “unfair” to impose on Komen.

As some were quick to point out, the statement put out by Komen doesn’t really clarify whether Planned Parenthood will actually continue to get money from the group.

Easy enough to take pot shots when you've made zero effort to solve a damned thing and whine at anyone who rolls up their sleeves. When it's a womans issue, beat it down as a 'competitor' in yet another zero sum game you play out in your mind.

Diabetes treatments are a fraud. We should ban all diabetic treatments forever. I don't have diabetes, therefore, it's fake. The social darwin plan and lies lies lies rule tabloid minds. I only have to lie about diabetes. It's easy. Here's a twinkie to cure your family member's psychosomatic delusions.

It's hard for me to imagine you have a mother, a sister, a viable marriage, or a potential daughter, with so much contempt & ignorance aimed at the other half of the entire species regularly spewing from your mouth. I see no evidence you love anything at all but yourself.

One thing is clear to me. Abusing 'rights' with predator theology needs severe consequence imposed upon it once and for good.

I sure can't see it - care to point it out?
