WAR ON WOMEN?

Not hardly. I think people of character understand that female babies should have the right to be born - just like males ones.

What sort of p.c. "newspeak" transforms the barbarism of killing a human being, for the sake of personal convenience, after irresponsible sex, into a "health-care decision".

It seems "hedonism" and "progressive" have become synonymous - faux enlightenment turned to darkness.

GOP should expose DEMS lack of RESPECT FOR LIFE. People have become incredibly arrogant in thinking they can make the assumption that life begins at birth and in thinking that an abortion does not "kill". Others are simply ignorant to say that abortion is wrong because it ends a life, but in the case of rape or incest it is ok. OK TO END AN INNOCENT LIFE? I can hardly believe that 40% of Americans now think that abortion is ok in the case of rape or incest.

TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT! Furthermore, two deliberate evil acts don't make a right. Rape is a deliberate evil act. Ending the life of an innocent human being who cannot speak for himself is an incredibly, horrific, deliberate, and evil act. Once that life has been started, we as human beings do not have any right to deliberately end that totally innocent life especially when that life is totally helpless and completely at our mercy!

I know you'd love for me to believe this war on women rhetoric but I don't. As the mother of four daughters I worry more about feeding and clothing my children and keeping a job. The supreme court has ruled on abortion and its done. No president can change that. I'm voting my pocketbook. I pay more for food, gas, clothing and my energy bill under Obama. If that's the change Obama had in mind you can keep it. Voting Republican this time.
