The beauty if a democrat woman is that she is smart enough to make a “choice” about her abortion, but not smart enough to notice she’s unemployed or her mortgage is greater than her house value. You rock it girls, cause you might be poor and without prospects, but your always ready and able for a roll in the hay! Sistahs!

Same as saying that those in favor of free speech rights really like to swear.
You guys are the ones missing the point.
Pro-choice is about the rights of women to make decisions about their bodies themselves. And that decision could include the decision to not have an abortion.
To suggest that those who believe in and defend such rights ‘really love abortion’ is bullpocky.
But maybe it’s you guys why ‘really love abortion’ – as you seem to fight every efforts and program to reduce and prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Yea, let’s go with that ‘logic’.
Stop loving abortion so much, you guys!

What am I to think when a co-worker of mine tells me that another co-worker’s daughter, who gave birth to a healthy beautiful baby, “should have had an abortion instead”? When my co-worker basically tells me that we all would have been better off if that child had never been born.

That is at least one “pro-choicer” who “loves abortion”. They certainly loved it more than that kid. It was certainly an eye opener for me, back in the day, when I was basically pro-abortion, myself.

Sorry, there are many “pro-choicers” who “love abortion”. For more than 30 years now, it has been the defining issue for the Democratic Party. You don’t make something the centerpiece of your political life unless you do, in fact, love it.

The whole discussion over access to contraceptive is so dishonest that the media should be horsewhipped every time they misrepresent EACH party’s platform. If it is so critically important to Americans, then it would serve us all to get the facts straight, no?

“All bills lead to jobs in latest spin in Congress
By Sean Lengell
-
The Washington Times
Sunday, July 8, 2012
Some of the so-called “jobs” bills seem a bit of a stretch.

For example: The National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act, which doesn’t specifically mention jobs, would require the Interior and Agriculture departments “to more efficiently develop domestic sources of the minerals and mineral materials of strategic and critical importance to United States economic and national security and manufacturing competitiveness.”

But in a Friday news release titled “House to Consider Another Job Creating Bill Next Week,” House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings, Washington Republican, said the measure will streamline government red tape in mining and related industries — thus fostering job growth.

The Farm Dust Regulation Prevention Act, which the House passed but is indefinitely stalled in the Senate, also is labeled as a jobs bill by House GOP leadership. The bill would exempt “farm dust” from falling under Clean Air Act regulations, a move that the bill’s backers say would protect American farm jobs.”

On second thought, stick with the abortion legislation. At least it creates jobs for attornies

What’s up with this crazy Democratic preoccupation with abortion when it should be jobs, jobs, jobs!

Hey nice job with that sarcastic accusation of hypocrisy which ignores the fact that you combed over two years worth of combined House and Senate bills to equal less than half the number of jobs bills that the Republicans passed in a single week, PRIOR TO the infamous SOTU address when Obama demanded we pass a jobs bill RIGHT NOW and Harry Reid said, eh, maybe we’ll get around to it next month (read: never).

NARAL Pro-Choice America
Pro-choice–even better. Don’t use the word abortion at all, and people will forget what NARAL stands for.

It’s consistent with the evolution of their message. It was all of 30 years ago that they realized they were going to lose the issue on the question of “is it a living human child” and that was when they started running their full-page newspaper ads talking about a “woman’s right to choose”.

Changing the focus of abortion to completely disregard the life in the balance is how they saved an untenable moral position from extinction. That gave them the opportunity to paint those who value human life as “immoral” for anything from not being 100% anti-war to not being 100% pro-federal-programs.

Hey, whatever works and obfuscates their intentions.

Yet, he continued to snip baby’s spines and freeze their remains until 2010, when a woman died in a botched abortion and a DEA investigation found he was also a pill pusher.

The DNC, by adopting their extreme abortion platform OWN Kermit Gosnell and all others that might be out there. And they are probably out there. Keep in mind that Kermit Gosnell got RICH exploiting poor women for taxpayer funded abortions and drugs. Money can be made in ‘legitimate murder’.

You might be interested in this:

“Women must have control over their own bodies.”

“Safe and legal abortion is every woman’s right.”

“Who decides? You decide!”

“Abortion is a personal decision between a woman and her doctor.”

“Who will make this most personal decision of a woman’s life? Will women decide, or will the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington?”

“Freedom of choice – a basic American right.”

In one of the most successful marketing campaigns in modern political history, the “abortion rights movement” – with all of its emotionally compelling catch-phrases and powerful political slogans – has succeeded in turning what once was a heinous crime into a fiercely defended constitutional right….

“I remember laughing when we made those slogans up,” recalls Bernard Nathanson, M.D., co-founder of pro-abortion vanguard group NARAL, reminiscing about the early days of the abortion-rights movement in the late ’60s and early ’70s. “We were looking for some sexy, catchy slogans to capture public opinion. They were very cynical slogans then, just as all of these slogans today are very, very cynical.”

No. That’s propaganda.

The mere idea of making abortion illegal is absurd, impractical, devoid of reality, and ignorant of the societal harm such laws would inflict upon the well being of all.

No. Abortion destroys society.

The Left adheres to abortion when it will abandon all else because abortion is intrinsic to furthering their agenda and making society conform to their world view. Abortion is the lynchpin of their political agenda.

“The Personal Is Political,” is the title of a feminist essay by Carol Hanisch of 1969. You can read it online. One of the things she says is this:

One of the first things we discover in these groups is that personal problems are political problems. There are no personal solutions at this time. There is only collective action for a collective solution.

That statement is key to understanding why the Left always, always wants to be able to kill a baby in the womb. Anything that opposes the collective must be eradicated.

David Horowitz’ commentary on the Phrase “The Personal Is Political”:

As I understood it, the phrase expressed an ideological will to reduce everything personal to a political formula, stamping out the messy particulars of an individual existence in the process.

Abortion is a political solution to personal problems (i.e., inconvenient babies).

Abortion is a political solution to eradicating the differences between men and women (you know, those “problems” called pregnancy and child rearing). Abortion is a political solution to another problem for the Left: the importance of the family to society.

The Left is so insistent of the necessity of abortion, because nothing is more personal than another human being—and a vulnerable baby is the most graphic reminder—and if the Left can successfully frame the most fragile of all people in terms of politics, then their worldview succeeds in their eyes. Everything must bow to the political collective.

Religion, marriage, family, children are personal. They necessitate morality and personal responsibility in relationships while at the same time calling for the importance of each individual, and for the value of each person to be upheld and demonstrated by shared committed love.

The family is in direct opposition to the Left’s political collective.

The Left protests and squawks over abortion because abortion is the sine qua non political solution to enabling their view of life as a great political collective. Look at what has been said this week about government is the one thing we all belong to!

When someone speaks of abortion in terms of an individual, the lynchpin of their worldview is being opposed.

The personal is not political, it’s personal.

And that pulls the rug out from under the Left.

Be thankful HA doesn’t ban people for stupidity.

Did you notice that Ms. Keenan of NARAL repeated the tired old saying, “Abortion should be safe, affordable and rare.” But she left off the last part. She said instead that abortion should be safe and affordable.

Are you going to take the position that she didn’t intentionally leave off the last part? If so, I have a bridge to sell you.

well, at least you didn’t say that abortion was alright until the child was 2 years old, like some of your fellow party members.

Are you okay with partial birth abortion, also?

1) Where do you draw the line on when human life begins? At birth? When the baby would be viable outside the womb? Who should make the decision of viability? The woman? The doctor? The baby? What if the baby doesn’t “come out all limp and dead”? Would you kill the baby with scissors, as Kermit Gosnell did?

2) You do realize that demographers say that exclusively homosexual people who might marry a partner make up less than 2% of our population. So why should we redefine marriage just for them, and not for polygamists, polyamorists or bestialists?

I don’t ‘love’ abortions – and don’t know anyone who does.
I support any effort to reduce unwanted pregnancies – sex ed, affordable health care & contraception, etc. – which all lead to a reduction in abortions.
