"The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion" - When the Anti-Choice Choose

I've witnessed it myself. The hypocrisy of the 'pro life' movement caused me to rethink and become pro choice. I know of at least 4 women who are STAUNCHLY pro life who have had abortions, 2 of which were done at the clinic they regularly protested.

Like I said, this is an election breaker for the Republicans. If they try to push this, they've lost the race.

When you use emotionally charged (and not factual) phrases like 'baby killers' it drives more and more people away from the GOP.

Just an FYI.

One is able to abort a fetus before the point where there is a heartbeat. I know you love that saying but it just isn't true...

Obamacare wiped out the patient/doctor choice. HHS now writes the rules of what treatments physicians will be allowed to give patients. I guess that's ok with you as long as you can patently ignore that the life in the womb is not your body and that it has its own unique DNA.

No he did not. Insurance companies did that a long time ago.

The U.S. is no longer part of the Uk, ever since July 4, 1776. You didn't know this? Huh.

Yeah, as long as you define life as starting at conception. Most reasoning people concede that something the size of a peanut is not viable life, and many others understand that there are a legitimate reasons why abortions happen, and most of them are between the doctor and the patient WHERE THE DECISION SHOULD BE.

The republicans only chance is to turn this back to the economy.

We'll see.

I don't like abortions, but we shouldn't prohibit them for other people. Worry about you.
