Not to take it to such a heartless ecological view...but damn, do we really want these people having all these babies instead of aborting them?
1- we simply have too many people, too much growth, it needs to scale back a bit.
2- are these multi-aborters really the folks we want raising sixteen kids instead? Do they have the skills to raise these kids when they're not responsible enough to use some fucking birth control?

Heh, like I said, it's a good, complex subject.

In all fairness, this isn't a law yet, and should be open for discussion by all taxpayers whether they WOULD want to fund it or not(your opinion for repeal should also be heard). I think you lost on this one.

On the other hand, the Iraq war WAS voted for and funded by your representatives. Sounds like you were misrepresented.

Wild card: Some people have been forced into combat, against their religious beliefs(drafted), and subsequently die. Where are their supporters???

So complex that other options were forgotten in that short little list...

(Random comment from me, but I had to make it. )

See, I don't want these people having all these kids. But to me, them having an abortion is no different than them slicing up their two-year old and putting the parts out with the trash. You don't want them to have all these kids they are uncapable of raising and supporting, but that's still no argument for murder (murder being my opinion of abortion).

I don't like this poll in general

It's not the governments responsibility to legislate morality to begin with, it should be to protect its citizens. The argument should be over whether or not Abortion = Murder.

Is plan B murder too? Is a condom? Because of what something could be

I think it's a matter of elective surgery vs required surgery, not morality. Are botox injections and boob jobs to be paid for because the aging model wants to look younger? Is it our obligation to provide free lasik surgery to all near sighted Americans? Do we need to offer free lyposuction or gastro-bypass surgery to all obese Americans? Should we provide free hair transplants to all folically challenged men? Where does it end?

Anything that is a personal choice, and not a medical necessity, should require personal payment as far as I'm concerned. You choose to get pregnant, you choose to have it aborted, you pay for it.

FWIW, I'm ok with publicly funding boob jobs.

It's patriotic. If a woman can't have surgically enhanced ta-ta's the terrorists have won.

/or something like that.

im very prolife, just to establish that
murder is murder is murder

but

the women are choosing to murder their unborn children, and i should not have to pay for that, or any other elective medical procedure

if i want to have LASIK, then i fully expect to have to pay for it 100%

I think only republican tax money should fund abortions and only democratic tax money should fund executions. And green party members should not be taxed for not being part of what's wrong with America.

Has anyone seen the language that was required to get Bill Nelson's vote?

So be sure not to forget to write those abortion checks ladies! Wow.

It should also be noted that Harry Reid had to strip the bill of language that would have removed anti-trust exemption from insurance companies....that's something almost all Democrats wanted.

If I were a liberal, I'd agree with Howard Dean...this thing is so stripped and watered down at this point (all because of compromises demanded by Democrats, not Republicans) it's not worth it. Start over.

oh please....this has nothing to do with Republicans.
Democrats passed it by themselves in the house...Democrats will pass it themselves in the Senate...both bills were written 100% by Democrats yet you still whine about Republicans when your guys wrote a piece of crap??

Own it.

EDIT: also...you keep repeating Americans overwhelmingly support this thing...you're wrong. Hell, only 37% of Democrats support it.

Not everyone thinks its 'murder'. Knowing you, condoms are murder too aren't they?

Republicans put forth their own bills which were completely ignored...so no, I wouldn't say that at all.


Right, so the Democrats give us mandates and no public option...Brilliant!
Again, I think your anger is misplaced. If the tables were turned, you know Republicans would get the job done opposition be damned. Getting Democrats to agree is like herding cats.
