Yet again, here are our politicians posturing over a bill they know will get shot down. Roe Vs. Wade makes it quite clear what's allowed and what isn't. The so-called "fiscally conservative" Tea Party in Wisconsin just threw a bunch down the drain: Judge blocks new Wisconsin abortion law - Houston Chronicle It'll happen in Texas also when it gets challenged.

Anyone else tired of posturing that costs millions?

Some people just believe trying to prevent little pre-babies from being chopped into pieces while still alive and sucked out of their home piece by piece is worth fighting for no matter the cost or chances of success.

Pro-choice myself but I understand the view of the other side.

I don't at all. Maybe because I'm not from Texas. I'm in education and we all know where I stand about ed. here.

I'm sure I'll sound belittling, but where I come from I was taught to listen to Doctors and scientists first.

Do doctors and scientists determine your moral values?

Yeah, all this stimulus spending is just plain stupid.

Scientists will tell you that a fetus has different DNA than the mother. It is a different being from the mother. To me that means it is not "the mother's body." I don't care if a woman decides to cut off her arm because that is her body. But aborting a fetus is different and a crime against humanity.

The Republican's and their RWNJ supporters will spend ANY amount of money to return women to the slavery of unwanted pregnancy. The fate of the fetus is secondary to the unquestioned control of women by unworthy men.

I am a man and would never tolerate some other person telling me what I can or cannot do to my own body. As I will not impose anything on another that I could not tolerate I unconditionally support all women's right to make their own choices concerning their own bodies.

Only you should determine your morals and values. I dont want you infecting my child with your 'supposed' knowledge of values or your morality.

I dont want you teaching my child your version of spirutality though your prayers in my public schools...that is my job. I dont know or care what your values and morals are...that is your business.

Women can do what they want with their own bodies when they don't put the taxpayers on the hook for what happens when they exercise those choices. Celibacy is FREE.

The texas law did not ban abortions...so what is your problem. So picket Rick Perry for not banning abortions.
