You feel this way about the military? Public schools? No....But health care services for women you draw the line?
Oh, right, because we don't want to fund murdering babies we shouldn't fund the military or schools.
No, I'll continue to fight for those who truly don't have their own voice. Thanks.
Nobody I know who has had an abortion treated it the way you characterize it. It is a horrible decision to have to make. Even more tragic - to me at least - is forcing a woman who is pregnant from rape or incest to carry that baby to term. And though this is blessedly rare, there are times when a woman might lose her life if she carries her child to full term. Happened to my best friend from childhood and it was awful. I'm very pro-choice and I have no illusion that the decision to abort is anything but an awful one to have to make. But you and I shouldn't be making those decisions for everybody.
You are USING them for your own sensibilities.
Again, you're just showing your ignorance in spades. Planned Parenthood cannot use federal money for abortion services. Why can't you understand this?
No, I like to be a realist who can only take one step at a time. But for the insult, screw off.
This is why I stopped being a libertarian. It's a legitimate point of view, even quite consistent and logical. But I couldn't live with it anymore.Soonerman said:
Are you ignoring that there is a heavy push to get rid of that funding caveat?
You arent even trying to make that step to citizenship to truly give them a voice. None of the anti-choicers are anywhere. We have decades of proof.
That's why I mentioned the left's tact on this as of late. Coded words, referring to it like any other form of birth control, just any other medical procedure. Yuck. Hell, Lena Dunham (I know) openly wishes she had so she could better wear that badge of honor. Jfc.
There's a heavier push by Republicans to pull funding altogether. So I'll see your concern and raise you mine.
You don't think pro lifers wouldn't give those kind of rights to children in utero if presented with that as an option? Really? It's a complete political non starter. Realistic goals. And I have no idea what you are trying to say in that last sentence. If you are alluding to once they are born, "eff off" fend for yourself. That's not me.
Yes, that was a pretty dumb thing to say, but I don't vote for her and have never seen a single thing she has been in. I also don't believe that you support all the conservative talking points from idiots like Ted Nugent.
So fight for it. But they flaty dont.
I think GM summarized things very well but I do not believe most Pro-Lifers are because of taxes. That's pretty stupid.
Heavy push from where? I'm not saying it's untrue, it's not an issue I follow closely, but I haven't read that. The internet seems to think Trump will sign to defund PP tomorrow.
Nobody can stay upset at the greatest red headed German basketball player of all time.
So allow for taxes to be used for the societal benefit. We do in every other instance.
I think most pro-Lifers are that way because there's a person in the womb and the whole debate is when that person is recognized as a person by law. I don't think they are fighting because of tax dollars. Carry on.
For the first time the Democratic platform calls for the formal repeal of the Hyde Amendment.
Because it's extremely rare that a crowd that size gathers for any reason in southern California. The local news said the last time it happened was 2006 (pro-immigration protest) but I don't think it was quite THAT large. I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the biggest crowd ever here.
So allow the tax dollars to be used. And stop the specious argument when we know PP and such serve a benefit to this country.
Ok but I just want to make sure you know nothing was accomplished today. You realize that, yes?
Apparently not to Trump and his press secretary who made emphatic efforts to lie about the crowd size at his inauguration, as well as all the phony reasons his wasn't larger, not to mention the fact that the administration shut down an entire department's social media access last night for tweeting an accurate but unflattering comparison of his inauguration and Obama's.
If it means something to the people that marched, then by definition, it isn't meaningless .
Hans isn't in it to take your quintet of kids.My wife still isn't home. Told her to take the whole day off from sick kids and home drudgery and dammit she took me up on it.
Maybe she met a nice guy in a beret named Hans and I can be set free.

Quite a detriment. He lost the popular vote by almost 3 million votes.
