That's funny. I was just on facebook where a bunch of republicans were expressing their disgust at the Komen foundation for pulling its support.

Shows how much you know.

As usual the devil is in the details. What they mean by "specific circumstances" is any time they personally wanted an abortion...otherwise it's illegal. It's one of those magical statements that simultaneously makes you feel morally superior without actually meaning anything.

Sex education is an "elective" course (if parents dont want their children to learn it, they are free to pull them out from the lessons)

So, what happens in that instance? when the child GETS no education from any source because of the religious beliefs of their ignorant parents?

and this is where you are caught STREtCHING the truth

Many States have laws, that protect hte pregnant mom in the THIRD trimester (meaning the time when a baby is viable if born early). And any crime (whether assault / battery, or murder) can carry the weight of 2 (or 3 or more) counts because the higher potential for that baby/babies to survive outside the womb.


There are no laws in all 50 states that will charge someone with "murder" if the accident kills the mom before the third trimester (because, even mother natural will cause self-abortions at this point).

You mean the sperm donor wasn't the cowardly murderer in the getaway car leaving her (and a potential child) struggling to survive in abject poverty? There's no shame in using half the species for sexual target practice under pretense of a relationship, right? I don't recall ever seeing your half of the species socially forced to wear scarlet letters over your missteps in life.

You can man up and solve abortion right where you are by keeping it in your pants or breaking out the gelding knife. There is YOUR choice. End of discussion.

POTUS. Namely Reagan, but I don't want to confuse you too much with facts. I do hope you consider that gelding knife. It's the merciful thing if you're adamantly opposed to growing up and allergic to responsibility.

Q: Should the deadbeat 'grandparents' be handed their bill of 'freedom' from competence if their teens apply for welfare?

On second thought, maybe the kids should just start suing them directly on grounds of malfeasance? This ought to be fun. I'll make popped corn.

A RTL blog at the blaze has them conspiring just that. They've concluded they need to task scientists with creating a mechanical womb so they might establish the legal means to abscond with fertilized eggs. Here come the lawyers to argue your genetic material is public domain. Koch/ Monsanto would like their shot at a new world order Aryan race that didn't pan out with the KKK family cacti inbreeding. They'll harvest your ovaries at birth to cover the cost of your own hospital delivery. Yeee haww!

Had they managed respect & upheld the dignity of the living, perhaps even recall what love <gasp> is supposed to be about... would there be so many votes of no confidence electing abortion? Genuine regard for live human beings is way too irrational an expectation.

Avoiding giving women credit for anything is a lot of work. Clone Doris Day, brainwash a fresh batch of born again bobble headed stepford wives, crank up 3rd world for human trafficking-- anything really. A rubber doll, a hole in a tree or petri dish will suffice as substitute for motherhood. Let the machines do the work. Now THAT'S a self made man!!!

By Gods mercy, I was spared the indignity of being married to a satanist. Yes, Virginia, there are fates worse than death. Shall we count them?

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

If your argument weren't so disgusting, it would be laughable.

A typical liberal response? I guess that would be true then, because liberals believe black women are perfectly capable of making their own decision concerning abortion.

It's pro-lifers who seem to think black women are too feeble minded to be allowed to make their own choice. Wouldn't just banning abortions for blacks alleviate their concern? Makes sense to me.

It's the conservative pro-lifers who keep pulling out the race card to argue against abortion, isn't it?

Nothing like trying to use black people to further your agenda.

No, it's about responsibility. Actions have consequences. If someone has sex without a condom they might get pregnant...

Instead of mechanical wombs, how about we charge science with coming up with a tiny little sperm faucet for little boys. It goes in at birth and doesn't get turned to the 'on' position until the men they become can show proof of their ability to support a child.

A woman can turn out only one child per year. An out of control lothario can impregnate dozens in the same time period.

No sperm, no unwanted babies, no abortions. Works for me....
