House Dems' Emerging Abortion Deal Blasted by Abortion Rights Supporters and Foes

We can not go back. Denying women the right to choose abortion is a strike against their sttus as humans with unalienable rights
The actions of independent humans at times angers others. The argument is real but
so is the right to human privacy.
Human rights are independent of financial status.
This bill is a disaster for american women.

The Democrats passed the Stupak Amendment showing that they have no respect for for women's rights, especially poor women's rights, or for Roe v Wade, which is the law. Sexist, regressive, anti-woman groups do not want any tax dollars used to fund abortions--as if they pay all the taxes--and now that ban has been extended to private insurance.
So let me ask, why should my tax dollars be used to pay for some old man's Viagra? Or for the death penalty? Or the war?
During the Democratic primary, I figured out that Obama was sexist, and I didn't vote for him, much to the chagrin of my friends. But I felt that if Obama won, women's rights would be in peril, and I was right. From what I have seen, he has his own issues with women and gays.
Moreover, I am sick and tired of the bigoted Catholic Church sticking its nose into public policy. They need to deal with the perverts and molesters in their own ranks instead of covering up for them. The Catholic Church is morally inferior, and has no business shaping public policy in our great nation.
I am so done with the Democrats.

pro abortion chicks from the east coast in invaded our state in 1968 thinking they were going to change our pro life law---hillary clinton was one---i vowed then to support pro life and boot these antilife women out of here---it has been against everything i treasure as a nurse---40 yrs. of being in healthcare has been patient centered---now the big honchos are messing with it---not on my watch

it is about denying birth control access to millions of women! Women do not want abortions, what they want is to have birth control covered by their insurance plan just like Viagra is for men.
Access to prescription contraceptive should be included in every plan but the anti-choice forces are trying to keep it out.
Family Planning should be available to all Americans!

How can women come on a public venue and defend the slaughter of their own baby. You women know very well what you did, and you will have to live with it, but please refrain from defending this killing to the rest of us who are appalled by your lack of judgement and feelings for those who needed you most. Just because you failed as a mother doesn't mean the rest of us need to here your callous defense of the unspeakable. Stay in your safety zone with your feminist friends who treat you as a hero for this act, but stay away from the rest of us, because frankly you make us sick!!!

Logic would tell us that they would want to protect what they create, not kill them in the most sadistic way possible. Ayw doctor, Women or nurse who can participate in an abortion today knowing full well exactly what they are doing, is either sick or evil.

In the distant past, tribes were guided by matriarchy. Everyone knows who a mother is, so ownership passed along through women. Bullies emerged among the males--resentful, jealous, greedy. They began rape & all other hate-women behavior. Patriarchy began, so males were heirs. Men began to treat women like property--like herd animals to produce unpaid domestic labor of mother and child. All Ban=Abortion comments have an undertone of malice toward women. Those posted by women are as nasty as those by men. It's almost as if they come from mistresses of adulterous husbands. Nature gave women the terrible, dangerous task of reproduction. Death rates are high due to pregnancy under the best conditions. Many diseases mean some women must never conceive. Scripture proves it came from vicious, nasty males. Jezebel is eaten by dogs. Lot offers both virgin daughters to gangs of men to be raped. King David snoops on nude Bathsheeba, kills her husband and impregnates her; A virgin name Mary is swooped down on and impregnated with a baby doomed by its Father, to die. It's an insane mess. But since tithing began, it will endure for the sake of preserving church income.

1. Unlike our president, most people aren’t blinded by ideology, and know when life begins. They may chose to ignore the fact - but in their hearts they know, and it slowly wears on them.
2. It’s pretty hard to hide from the science and ultrasounds. It is obvious to anyone with an intact cerebral cortex that it is a human in the womb - not a turnip or tadpole. Of course, there are none so blind as those who will not see. And, nothing blinds more than a mirror held closely to the face.
3. It’s a fact that over 90% of abortions are performed after irresponsible sex, and are used in place of birth control measures by the careless and self-obsessed.
4. Nearly all babies who are aborted are killed for the sake of their parent’s convenience.
5. Many women who have aborted babies, and who later have children, are haunted by the knowledge that the ones now cradled in their arms are the brothers or sisters of those she had dismembered in her womb.
6. Many women have learned to resist the indoctrination of radical “feminist” groups, and realize they can be feminists and still act responsibly. And, that being a loving mother is the proudest profession of all.
7. Most folks realize that no one’s personal agenda is so important that it can’t be compromised or suspended for 9 months for the sake of a human life.
8. Common sense screams at most of us that an infant in the womb should enjoy the same safety and protection as the egg of an eagle, tortoise or condor.
9. Most states still consider it murder to kill a baby in the womb - unless it is done by an abortionist at the mother’s request. It follows then that it is the “wanting” of us that makes us human to “progressives”. This twisted logic is a dark portent for the mentally ill, handicapped and elderly.
10. We have an aging population - After a few decades of life most of us come to realize the importance of objective morality, and that because an act is legal, doesn’t make it moral in the eyes of God. Or perhaps, upon reflecting on the collected years of our lives, we come to understand that there are no memories, no love, no birthdays, no remarkable deeds experienced by those killed in the womb - only an empty stage upon which the curtain was never raised.
11. Women have “reproductive rights”. They have a right to chose not have sex. They, and their partner, have a right and obligation to use birth control. They have a right to chose alternative sexual activities that will not result in pregnancy. They have a right not to have sex during the 3 days each month when pregnancy is an issue (yes, that does require some responsible planning). They have a right to put the baby up for adoption after 9 months. But should they be able to kill another human being for the sake of personal convenience after acting irresponsibly - Only in a world gone mad with, “progressive” hedonism.
It is pretty hard to hide the true face of something so heinous as abortion. Truly, for love of God - stand against the slaughter.

I've paid taxes since 1941 on income & property tax on 9 homes and 13 rentals. I've always had to pay more because church parcel numbers are not taxed fully or at all. Every business owner like me (landlord) has been paying more. In 1973, the Court finally made our civil government stop enforcing church law that bans abortion. Since then, citizens have exercised their Constitutional right to regulate family size. Some teens, encouraged by parents, stayed in school after abortion, went to college & gained skills for high=pay jobs. Before Roe, they dropped out, and took welfare to support the kept conception. They entered & stayed in the class of Cheap Labor as did their offspring. We need taxpaid free contraception. voluntary sterilization & free lessons in the reproductive process for 12 year old boys & girls SO THEY CAN PROTECT EACH OTHER FROM BECOMING PRECOCIOUS. PREMATURE PARENTS. Many corporations, seeking Cheap Labor, contribute to Prolife groups and campaigns. They harm youth and they harm taxpayers.

Men are forever safe from dangers accompanying conception. There are many reasons why some women can never safely become mothers. Some women are too old or too young so their skeletons don't have strength to bear the weight of fetus & heavy amniotic fluid. On TV medical programs, most people have seen how full term mom's have thinned belly skin that can scarcely hold together & they have very poor balance. There are diseases of bone, heart, kidney, liver, etc. See Osteopathy, Phrenology, Cardiology, etc. When Prolifers interfere with abortion on strangers, they're practicing medicine without a license. Abortion by suction, at early stage, is not horrendous nor painful. It's a simple, short procedure. Far from "agonizing over losing one of God's children," abortion can put an end to a life of domestic violence & free a woman for a new life with a decent man. Surely, prostitutes are not grieving over ending conceptions made in brothels, where men go to escape fatherhood. Prolifers, I challenge you to websearch for all the reasons why motherhood is not "a Walk in the Park." Billions of women "died in childbirth" since humanity emerged. Have mercy, have pity.
