Haven't you been paying attention?

There are wise, wise, men......Republican politicians.......who know much more about the "secret" workings of the female reproductive system than you or your doctor.

Republicans reject rape exception in their platform. Have they gone too far?


No, I think they should go even farther...advertise their plans to incarcerate all women of child bearing age so that they are FORCED to produce babies. I think the Repugs should be honest about how they hate women. I think they should be honest about how they wish to control women.....

and then maybe, MAYBE, Repug women will grow a spine , realize how they would lose their human rights under the thumb of male Repugs and vote the sick, power crazed misogynists out of office....

They held congressional hearings on the matter... Men telling men all about women's health issues. The future of America with a Mittens/Ruin administration.

Just an FYI.
It is a fact that babies are being murdered. There should be emotion over that fact.

But it's time the rapists be given the death penalty - and all the other violent criminals, if someone deserves death, it's the criminal.
If we did that, who would be left to conduct mass on Sundays?

What an absurd statement. You actually suggest that all Catholic Priests are rapists?!

I did none of the sort. Some of them are, though, right? Some Mormons are rapists too. My cousin was raped by the son of a Christian pastor. Careful what you wish for, asking all rapists to be sentenced to death. Atheists are not the overwhelming percentage of rapists. Or is it different when Christians/clergy are the rapists? Like it's different when Christian women get abortions?

No, it's not a 'fact'. You're using emotionally charged LIES to convince people that voting for 'your guy' is more moral. You're doing this with guilt.

Sorry, not gonna work.

I do feel guilt that I can't do more to stop abortion murders.

Yes, you can. Although, they're not 'abortion murders', perhaps I'll refer to them as induced miscarriages from now on. That's exactly what they are.

So, how much time and energy to you spend on educating people on birth control? I'm assuming you are in favor of comprehensive sex ed in school? Handing out free condoms and birth control? As much as I'd like to say 'LET THE PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES', many won't and if free BC will keep them from getting pregnant I'm all for it. How about donating money to Planned Parenthood, which provides women and men with a health clinic and reproductive health help?

All of those things will help prevent abortions, how many of them have you done?

Or are you the type of person that uses guilt and shaming instead of education?
