You hold no moral high ground here and from where I'm looking, you are actually the one who lacks self esteem and self respect because you wouldn't be tearing down other women to make yourself feel that you actually possessed those traits.
What percent of abortions are from women who are using 2 types of birth control correctly?

So some planned parenthood activist who advocates 'making trouble' has gravitas? it's what she does. May as well be the words of HRC or Gloria allred. that's where they live and what you'd expect them to say. Credibility requires some objectivity and a resume of reasonable positions based on facts and logic, not wishful fantasies.

Really? Was it stopped with Reagan? The first Bush? Second Bush? No. It amazes me how they play the pro-life folks as fools.

My niece is a conservative who doesn’t believe in birth control or abortion. She had 3 kids that she can’t afford. Guess who’s paying for her and her kids.

You're minority, no? I've already posted why minorities won't use government-provided birth control.

Fully 1/3 of the respondents in this pro-family planning organization's study believe that the government pushes free birth control as a means of deliberately limiting the size of minority populations. They view the government pushing birth control on them as racism:

Although Most Unmarried Young Adults Want to Avoid Pregnancy, Many Don't Use Contraception

Interestingly, note that it's exactly those same minorities who are disproportionately poor.

Obviously there are millions of people using these clinics so we need to steer them elsewhere because some don't agree with abortions.
Does anybody else see the irony, where is so many are in favor of PP yet they CAN'T survive WITHOUT fed gov't money.

One would think that all those that do support it would donate enough to NOT need fed money.

Where are all the rich celebs w see all the time on TV?

The word "hypocrite" also come to mind.

No you would NOT.

You WOULD protest the police if they killed some punk trying to kill them.

If all you have is juvenile insults when someone has different opinion then yours, I feel sorry for you!

Since the early beginnings of mankind our species have been slaves to our hormones and passions. Even when acting on such could result in shame, banishment, beatings or death. This hasn't changed. As well from the time man figured out what caused pregnancy we have been trying to figure out ways to prevent it, from withdrawal to rhythm to crude condoms and IUDs, herbal concoctions, poisons, infanticide and abortion.


The OP said sarcastically "hey let's celebrate it" (abortion). Well maybe she is right. Now, finally we have developed various safe forms of birth control and if those fail we have a sterile, safe procedure to terminate pregnancy. No more need for infanticide, abandonment, poisons or botched abortions resulting in death and mutilations.
"Do you really believe the words coming off your finger tips? "

What did I say that upsets you.

NOTHING I said was NO TRUE.

OK, "a woman gets to do with her own body"

So, let's allow EVERYBODY to do with their OWN BODY. fair is fair.

NO more seat belt laws.

NO more helmet laws.

NO more restrictions on how old you have to be to get on some amusement park rides.

I could provide more.

A women IS free to CHOOSE to do with her body as she wants.

"why would anyone care"

I DON'T care what she does with er body BUT, WITH that CHOICE,she should ALSO be held responsible for anything that happens as a result of making that choice.

Are they too STUPID to know that IF they engage sex that they COULD get pregnant?

With ALL choices, there are RESPONSIBILITIES that go along with making those choices.

But, I forgot, MANNY today will NEVER take responsibility for their choices.

They learn it from their politicians.

But that's a red herring anyway, we all pay for lots of things we completely disagree with via our taxes.
