Started by menstrualpoetry · 10 months ago

Feministing has a great post up on John McCain and his long-standing anti-choice record. McCain, as most have already realized, will be the Republican candidate in the upcoming election; McCain is also the biggest threat to reproductive rights, if elected into office. For the next few wee ... Continue reading »

    "Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a victory for those who cherish the sanctity of life and integrity of the judiciary. The ruling ensures that an unacceptable and unjustifiable practice will not be carried out on our innocent children."

    But don't worry, everyone. He's still supportive of the death penalty. Who cares about the innocent men and women who have died there. We're all safe for now.

    Well of course Abortion is Evil, but women are eviler for having sex anyways. Obviously, only Men should be able to tell people when to have babies!

    I'll give him one thing though, he's one of the only pro-lifers I've ever seen adopt children.

    Don't worry, it was probably only so he could "pimp out" the fact that he adopted a child and to help his campaign.

    It's a womans (and mans) choice to have sexual relations. We can't have choices for consequences. A fetus is a life. If you don't have money to raise a child, give it up for adoption!! There are SO many couples in the United States alone who cannot have children. There would be a lot more happiness in this world of ours with less abortion in the world. If you don't have money to take care of a child, there are many couples that would pay medical bills through an adoption process.

    so i ask you....if you think abortion should be made illegal...what punishment should a woman have if she gets an illegal abortion? Death penalty you say? No punishment?.....a fine?.......or haven't you thought that far ahead.....and i don't believe there will be more happiness in this world if we had less abortions...we would just have more poor people or people in general...according to Christ we should live and let live......if you don't believe in abortion ...don't have one...if you have an unexpected pregnancy....do the right thing in YOUR heart and adopt it out....but leave other women and their choices for THEIR life alone.....

    For those of you who don't know about this Court, here are a few comments: "Court invokes an antiabortion shibboleth for which it concededly has no reliable evidence: Women who have abortions come to regret their choices, and consequently suffer from '[s]evere depression and loss of esteem.' Because of women's fragile emotional state and because of the bond of love the mother has for her child,' the Court worries, doctors may withhold information about the nature of the intact D&E procedure. The solution the Court approves, then, is not to require doctors to inform women, accurately and adequately, of the different procedures and their attendant risks. Instead, the Court deprives women of the right to make an autonomous choice, even at the expense of their safety."
