I could say the same thing about the left. Why don't they call out the radicals on their side? As you said, "they do it to" or "the side is worse" is what the left says also. Pot, kettle, black!
Well, then, by all means, allow "the very few" radicals (who've been growing in numbers) to express their radical and outrageous views and paint the entire GOP with their radicalism. The GOP isn't my party, so egg them on. If you don't care, why should I?

But, be prepared for more people (not just "leftists") to perceive the GOP as an unfriendly, my way or the highway, anachronistic entity that ends up alienating voters.

You need votes to win elections. The more Independents the GOP alienates, the harder it'll be to win elections. But if all you want is a group of like minded, uncompromising, intransigent and often outrageous people, I'd say you're on the right track. The current GOP primaries are showing the effect those "very few radicals" are having on the party. Enjoy it and pass the pop corn.

Good luck and cheers.

I assume Republican legislators don't trust doctors to always know a live fetus from a dead fetus.

Good thing they finally showed their arse. Maybe red state women ought to get off their rumps? If they're marrying these morons, maybe they've earned it? If their mamma's are listening, maybe they'll reconsider what evil is passing for culture?

Maybe there are some states in the union where NOW should just leave to their own self destructive devices? Hold them up as poster children of what to never allow yourself to become? If a husband wants to troll on craigs list for a rapist to attack his wife, that's his 'right'. If a football player rapes you, not only won't the law confront him, the law will compel you to cheer for him.

Maybe it's high time we just accept the fact that defective males cannot be saved. Too far gone & incapable of being responsible for their vote.

What's more repugnant to me is that the very same individuals who did (and present tense would) assassinate Lincoln own the Republican party today. It's hideous.

She was referring to (and said) a fetus that won't live. Like a fetus with anencephaly. Why should a woman carry a fetus to term knowing it will die when born, and have to go through the pain of normal labor and delivery/.
Well maybe the woman does not want to do through the pain of having that baby killed and aborted. That would be a greater pain for some women so let them chose. If the fetus/baby is still alive there has to be some way to kill it---some would rather let nature/God take it's course.

The dead baby needs to be delivered anyway. Either way is painful IMO.

Right...isn't this about choosing and the dipstick GA legislator trying to take that choice away?
A lot more painful to deliver a term baby than a preterm baby.

Don't be ridiculous. Delivering a five month fetus versus a nine month fetus?
