Question for all you Pro-Choicers who wear your

Posted: Aug 21, 2012

Could you watch a 24-week abortion being performed? Could you? If so, then yes, wear your badge proudly.

I think it is murder, personally. However, the republicans are just too radical to even consider voting for. I don't vote based on one issue and I am tired of being held hostage by the religious right. I also like voting for intelligent people not people who take great pride in their ignorance.

Changing tactics and being more inclusive would go a long way for the Republican party. As it stands now, they drive people away and as the country's demographics continue to change, the Republicans will be a dead party.

Radical? That's almost funny considering (sm) - LM

what is in the WH right now. Do you honestly believe that if a Republican gets elected, abortion will be no more? What exactly is radical about the Republican party?

So childish. No response, just little dislike checks. - Grow up, peeps.

So, I would not want to have one, but I cannot say I would not ever have one because I cannot foresee the future. I would not presume to know what is best for you either. I think it is crazy that the Pugs who profess to be small government are always trying to get involved in things that are most personal to women.

How about watching a woman - carry a 26-week nonviable fetus to term?

When my neighbor had fetal demise in utero at 26 weeks, her OB suggested she should just let nature take it's course. She was in observation on the OB ward with all the new moms and dads cooing over their bundles of joy. She was left to cope with grim task of waiting for a dead baby to decide to make its entrance.

I'm sorry. The GOP cannot be trusted with reproductive rights. They are never satisfied with status quo and spend ridiculous amounts of time contemplating their next invasion into women's privates.

If it's nonviable, it's not an abortion. - Nor is it brain surgery. Sheesh.

Right. Just leave the woman there to rot with a - dead fetus onboard.

Thanks for helping me make my point, even though it appears to have escaped you entirely.

Reading 101. You remove the child. It's not an abortion. - It's surgery, dear.

Try that reading course.

No, I wouldn't, but... - KC

I'm also a proponent of cholecystectomies, open-heart surgery, tonsillectomies, and many procedures. Does that mean I could ever watch a surgery? Heck no!

What I don't understand... - cnb

...is why the embryo or fetus is considered more important than the woman carrying it. I guess to a lot of right-wing extremists, women are nothing more than ambulatory gestation units. After this latest revelation by Rep Akin about how many anti-choicers actually think, I'm horrified to think of him and other equally ignorant lawmakers deciding and codifying into law what I can and can't do with my body. For the record, I could never go through with an abortion myself, but I would never be so presumptuous as to tell another woman what to do with her body. Why is "less government" the mantra until it comes to women's reproductive organs?

Great post. Also, why do they only want - abstinence taught? Why SM

[ In Reply To ..]
do they want to abolish birth control? It is idiotic thinking.

Are you willing to watch....sm - JTBB

a woman spend the rest of her life in prison for the crime of using an IUD?

As far as watching a 24-week abortion...unfortunately...been there, done that. However, I have also watched body bags being shipped in for senseless wars.

Okay, I have to attend an evening (5:30 p.m.) wedding over Labor Day weekend that's being held outdoors in some sort of garden venue. What the heck do I wear? I'm so sick of wearing black to everything, but everything I'm seeing online is either too casual for evening or too formal for the venue, or only comes in the color white (not an option, obviously...). If it helps any, I'm a size 14, very proportionate with chest and hips about the same size, but I do ...

I found the most beautiful shirt! It's sleeveless, has thin elastic at the waist and drapes snuggly over the lower waist and hips. It is a thin poly cotton blend, so it needs something underneath, but strapless bra looks bulky, and I'm, well not "heavy" chested, but well-endowed, so need support. I just want a smooth, well supported look without the headlights showing! Any suggestions? ...

Yesterday, my husband was grinding the rust off a metal lawn mower deck. The grinder caught on a piece of metal and in a flash, bouced up, hit his safety goggles and knocked them and his glasses to the top of his head and took a little chunk from the side of his nose (thankfully did not hit his eye) right where the nose piece sits about 1 inch, plus gave him 'road rash' on the tip. He's having trouble wearing his glasses. We have tried everything we can think of to make ...

You know that government can’t restrict your speech. Officially. But they can in all kinds of practical ways, just as they can do lots of other things to you without ever really taking an official action against you. Take the famous “Don’t Tread On Me” cap. Congress will never pass a law that says you can’t wear that cap, just because politicians may not like what the cap stands for. Constitutionally, Congress cannot do so. But if you think that means the government can’t come do ...

We've simply got to get a grip on our educational system and turn it around, because it's become an indoctrination system, not an educational system (check our kids' statistics). There isn't much time left, and this is the election to get started. Any mothers out there who vote for Hillary will be voting for more of the same for their children, and you simply cannot do that. ...

It doesn’t matter how many articles of clothing Phelan Moonsong puts on before walking out the door each day: If he’s not wearing his favorite pair of goat horns, the Pagan priest might as well be naked. Unless the 56-year-old Millinocket, Maine, man is sleeping or bathing, his beloved horns are rarely far from his scalp. It’s been that way since he first laid eyes on the horns at a Pagan men’s group gathering in 2009. A friend whose goat had recently died offered the horns to gr ...

I'm always facinated at some people who think all social problems and situations are so black and white.Abortion is here to stay, whether it's legal or not, just like it's always been an option when a woman finds herself facing the impossible situation of an unwanted pregnancy. Wishing it wasn't an option has never worked.However, when a discussion comes up about abortion, we women are strictly divided. Black and White in our opinions.This is a complicated issue. It doesn ...

Don't know if you remember my last posts awhile back about a stray cat we started feeding and took care, gave her shelter for the winter and she had kittens. We've taken the kittens in and adore them all. Now...here she is 3 or 4 months later, every once in awhile I'll get a glimpse of her nursing them. Vet told us milk has to be dried up before they can fix her. However, she is a stray and she has been going out walking around the neighborhood like she has ...

Okay, here is a question that I have not seen come up here. While watching news today this just crossed my mind. If the government sets an insurance rate you have to pay based upon what you make per year, do they take into account all your other bills, and that sometimes as ICs we don't get any work coming in at times, and then what they set is more than what you can afford (i.e. more money than your paycheck and you still have to pay all your bills). As ICs I'm sure ...

Just curious about a couple of opinions. First of all, I like to tan. I know the health risks, etc., but I enjoy the way the sun makes me feel and I enjoy my skin with a tan. We just recently moved to "town" into a neighborhood. I live in a small area. I have a fenced in backyard and the neighbor is pretty close and their yard is also fenced in with a separate fence, not even joining mine. So, yesterday, beautiful day, I decide to lay out in the sun. I park m ...

Hi everyone, I absolutely love Swarovski Crystal, in particular their earrings. I have a couple of pairs that I paid full price for, but they are too expensive. (Earrings run from $60-$300+.) I saw that E-Bay has a really nice selection, and you can just do a Buy Now for way under market price--I'm not into the bidding thing, BTW. Thing is, how do I REALLY know it's Swarovski? Some of their jewelry is signed, and some of those posts say so, but not all their jewelry is signed ...
