Next up, 'life beings at the spermatazoa' bill. It, would be essentially the same thing. Men would have to be arrested every time they masturbated for committing abortions then.

YOU do NOT speak for "everyone" because YOU do NOT know what everyone thinks.


I do NOT believe legal abortion is murder .
Thats fine. But, do you think that taxpayers should pay for abortions? And, should abortion be the first option for a pregnant mother? The pro-choice crowd have limited the options to 1, abortion. It is ironic, because there is a choice. We just adopted a baby boy. His mother could have easily aborted him. I think she made a smart and courageous CHOICE.

The biggest question is why does the GOP keep attacking women? Why do they keep forcing their huge government and anti-freedom garbage? I thought that's what the teabaggers/gop were suppose to be against?
They are but first you have to think like they do, look like they do, pray like they do, live like they do, and believe what they believe.

Once your cross that threshold everything fine.

Nope, this is EVERYDAY stuff out here....not just electioneering. Arizona Republicans have been a joke for decades. This isn't anything new. I've been here since 1969, and this stuff is par for the course out here.

And this is only the stuff the nation actually gets to hear about. You should see the stuff that gets proposed that gets rejected. When Napolitano was the governor, she'd spend three quarters of her time vetoing stupid ass proposals from the Republican Party that they couldn't override. That's why she was so popular.

This idiot of a governor could have never won the governorship if she'd ran for the office initially. But she ended up getting it through succession and then winning it when a confluence of very fortunate events came at a well timed point in her career. Basically, SB1070 handed her the office, although she thought the bill was profoundly stupid in the beginning. She jumped on the bandwagon when she got hounded by the Tea Party to support it or ELSE!! Then she continued the ruse by defending it all the way to the Supreme Court.

So yea...as beautiful as this state is and as wonderful as it is to live here, we've got some real nutcases on the political right. And they're not done. Getting a Republican Governor has allowed them to live out their fantasies, and they intend to play them out to the fullest. I live and work around these fools and i belittle them every chance i get about their stupidity.

This is nonsense.
Taxpayers don't pay for abortions.
They do, however, pay for pre-natal care and deliveries for many unwed mothers.
They also pay for WIC, foodstamps and the like.

Where is it written by anyone that the only choice for unplanned pregnancy is abortion?

Great, you applaud her choice. So do I. You're pro-choice! So am I.

it is a war on women and their right to privacy and health care. women who can get pregnant does not make them the breeders for women who can't have children. a woman has the right to control her own reproductive live.

the "pro choice crowd" is about choice. for your information there are 3 choices not one. the choice belongs to the individual woman no one else
