They didn't like it because the woman could not be charged with the crime of child abandonment.

Punishing women is their priority.....not the welfare of children.
This is about punishing women, rather than protecting children? Interesting ....

Personally, I wouldn't choose abortion, but it isn't for me to say what someone else should do.

People like the OP walk around like they are God on earth forcing their opinions of right and wrong down everyone everyone else's throats and passing judgment on how the rest of us should live our lives. OP, who are YOU to judge what someone else does with their life or their body when it has absolutely nothing to do with you? Oh, and while you rail against abortion, old Rush (who is probably your idol) calls a young lady advocating birth control and personal responsilibity a nasty name. I honestly do not get it. You say abortion is horrible, but so is advocating birth control which could prevent abortions which you're so against. The government should stay out of people's business, UNLESS someone is doing something you feel they shouldn't, in which case it's perfectly fine for big brother to place rules on what a woman can do with her OWN body. Hypocrite, much?
You're absolutely right....the "government should stay out of people's business"....and that includes forcing contraception on relgious entities.

Tell me how you go about weaseling your way out of that one!

Ooopsie!

(PS...I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh...and I am a PROPONENT of birth control...just not through GOVERNMENT MANDATE. How on Earth could you have not noticed that given my stance on abortion and the recurring themes of my posts and threads? Your words ring HOLLOW because you think you know me.......you don't.)

It's not weaseling to say a church owned business isn't a person who need to be protected. In fact I'd go so far as saying they shouldn't get speical exemptions from regulations that apply to every other business.

But Obamacare has special exemptions right in the bill and groups can apply for them.

Why should we believe that Liberals and Democrats have anything other than their own self-interests in mind when the roster of ideals embraced by the left are not much more than a Free Love For All, No Matter The Cost, No Matter The Consequenceâ„¢ political theory?

The United States of America is broke - fiscally, morally, and culturally. And Liberals celebrate this. Just take a look around this forum and elsewhere and pay particular attention to the issues they fight for.

Personal Responsibility is non-existent in the Liberal Establishment. And if it's legal, then it's moral. These two ideals form the foundation of Liberalism in America.

When can we expect Liberals to actually show love, honor, and courage for the United States of America that doesn't involve breaking our collective backs?
