No, not today. But as I read that Bush spoke to the anti-abortion protestors and told them "We will prevail" we thought it was notable that we also received an email today about the growing trend of poor women performing 'home' abortions in the United States. So, this is the reason we should be paying attention to the Supreme Court nominations.
Just in case, we'll be stockpiling wire hangers.
conservatives only give a shit about the "sanctity of life" until birth. then they don't care if a child is raised in poverty with no access to health care or education. the big picture is creating a permanent poor class. uneducated and desperate, they're easily manipulated. but give a woman information about all prophylactic options? give a woman access to child care so she can work? oh faux pas!!
it's the government's fault for giving them no other option by taking away safe, affordable abortions. Women don't WANT to mutliate themselves, but that's what happens when they get pregnant, can't care for the baby and the father (as often is the case) wants nothing to do with the mom or the baby. (It's not always the evil abortion-wanting mom vs. the sorry, pathetic, put-upon dad who just wants to raise his child). Please. The mutilation, twerp, comes in when a professional abortion is no longer an option. It's called DESPERATION, not stupidity.
Sticking a wire hanger in your hoo ha....is stupidity. Moron.
no, actually, thinking that women want to mutilate themselves is stupidity, fuckface.
I never said they wanted to. Learn to read, shithead.
"Um why is it the Governments fault if stupid women want to mutilate themselves?"
direct quote from your post, wonk.
What ever happened to reason and accountability? Did the government spread your legs? No, you did. So you, and the guy who knocked you up are accountable for the child. The child more than likely lives with his mother. The father pays child support, or, depending on where you live, he goes to jail, or loses his driver's license.
I'd like to see this email on back alley abortions. It makes no sense. If you are poor, it will be provided for you, free of charge. Just like non-emergency health care for illegal aliens. Its all taken care of, courtesy of the taxpayer.
If you're poor, you get a free taxpayer-supported abortion? where would that be? in an alternate universe?
SomeoneElse...touche.
I still contend its stupid though.....
Fat: Reason and Accountability? You're kidding, aren't you? Both went out of favor in in the lead up to (and aftermath of) the Iraqi invasion. Now no one is accountable for any of their mistakes.
I really do love your neat and tidy scenario... it's so, simpleminded and inelegant. It's almost as if it were the product of a very stupid child.
Wonk: OF COURSE IT'S STUPID, ASSHAT. It's even dumber to bring a child into the world you don't want to (and likely can't) raise. Even dumber to have provided to these people abstinence-only sex ed and no condoms.
Thats all I was saying relax, spaz.
Oh... well, thanks a ton for agreeing with me, sweets!
wonk you were also implying that it's not the government's fault. i say the govt has the blood on its hands, too, when a woman dies from a wire hanger because she can't support the child and has no access to medical attention or abortion.
But, OK - It's a stupid AND desperate thing to do. I don't think they're mutually exclusive, as I was suggesting.
Yes I was implying that it is not the governments fault. As you know the gov't doesn't make a person make scrambled eggs.
That women with the wire hanger in her hands has alternatives.....adoption for one
Trey: Thats Mr. Sweets too you.
Hell,nah! You gotta EARN the 'Mr'
Right now you're one step above bitch. But keep up the good work:)!
Hey chicken little the sky is falling!
Roe vs. Wade is not going to be overturned...
Um why is it the Governments fault if stupid women want to mutilate themselves?
