Official DNC Webpage:GOP Leadership Puts Anti-Choice Measures at the Top of Agenda
Headline of The DNC Official Web Page ^ | 11/12/02 | DNC

Posted on 11/17/2002 7:11:28 AM PST by TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!

Republicans are planning to endanger women's lives and attack their right to choose as soon as they take control of the Senate, according to Mississippi Senator Trent Lott, who will be the new Majority Leader. Speaking on a right-wing radio show, Lott announced that criminalizing certain life-saving medical procedures used in abortions was his top legislative priority, saying, "I will call it up, we will pass it, and the president will sign it. I'm making that commitment -- you can write it down."

The criminalization of so-called "partial-birth abortions" is just the tip of the iceberg for the Republicans, as right-wing, anti-choice activists plan to push a full agenda of legislation designed to restrict a woman's right to choose.

In addition to the ban on this medical procedure, the GOP's anti-choice legislative agenda includes a review of the FDA's approval of RU-486, "fetus protection" legislation that restricts the rights of pregnant women, enacting restrictions making it more difficult for minors to have access to pregnancy services, removing a bankruptcy provision that would prohibit convicted violent anti-choice offenders from protecting their assets, and granting special rights for hospitals that refuse to perform abortions.

Hoping to chip away at a woman's right to choose slowly in order to eventually pass a Constitutional amendment banning abortion, and eager to grant lifetime appointments to as many anti-choice judges as possible, Republicans and anti-choice activists have been pushing these restrictions for years. With control of the White House, the House of Representatives, and soon, the Senate, Republicans hope to pass this agenda dictated by right-wing activists. [Washington Post; 11/12/02]

Hmmmm--I always thought it was pro choice and pro life. If they are calling us anti choice, what does that make them?

"Republicans are planning to endanger women's lives"

In case anyone was buying the DNC not so pleased with Pelosi, Clinton's, Streisand and the lying, deceitful, criminal, leftists leading their party, NOW YOU KNOW!!!

The above statement is such a vile lie I am almost appalled if not shocked at their audacity!

Hell, it beats the alternative:
Democrats are planning to endanger women's lives and attack their right to choose self-defense as soon as they take control of the Senate, according to California Democrat Nancy Pelosi, who will be the new Majority Leader. Speaking on a left-wing radio show, Pelosi announced that criminalizing certain life-saving firearm used in self-defense was her top legislative priority, saying, "I will call it up, we will pass it, and the president will sign it. I'm making that commitment -- you can write it down."

The criminalization of all so-called "assault weapons" is just the tip of the iceberg for the Democrats, as left-wing, anti-choice activists plan to push a full agenda of legislation designed to restrict a woman's right to choose self defense.

I've always found it interesting, that the Party who has so much trepidation about sending "our precious sons and daughters" to fight for "oil", will, on the other hand, fight tooth and toenail, fang and claw, to defend the "right to kill the unborn".

Apparently, babies aren't as sacred as our sons and daughters in uniform.

Hey, the liar party forgot to add that the Republican party is also planning to throw all senior citizens out on the street, cancel social security, starve all the children, and set on fire all national forests while pumping toxic chemicals directly into your drinking water!

The rats ran commericals in Missouri along these same lines for the Widow, worked real well too, keep it up boys!

attack their right to choose

Damn straight. We waste at least two hours every date because she can't decide on the movie or restaurant. I'll ask, "Where do you want to go?" and she'll say, "Any place, it doesn't matter to me." So I'll pick a place and she'll say, "I don't want to go there." So I say, "Where do you want to go?" and she'll say, "Any place, it doesn't matter to me."

And this goes on for hours......

Let the MURDER/BORTS rant, over 70% of the American People OPPOSE PARTIAL BIRTH MURDER.

This should help to further their popular demise.

The "Woman's Right to Choose" (choose what) does not exist!

LOL!!! I would just be happy if I were offered to be taken out to dinner after 14 years of marriage! (without me having to arrange everything--including dragging his physical body to the car--and he ends up having THE BEST TIME!)

TELL YOUR WIFE, she is lucky she is offered and she does not have to beg and drag!!!

LOL you are right. I am sure that is Monday morning's headline article.

This article is so ridiculous I am wondering which non brainer wrote it...McCauliffe, Streisand, Carville the commie clown or Slick Willy.

Hoping to chip away at a woman's right to choose slowly.........

Well, the liar's party hasn't made much sense in years, but this is a real kicker.

Either this silliness is poorly written, or the dumbocrats really do think that GW intends to push a law through requiring women to make up their minds more quickly.

No it is Streisand,Hitlery and the DNC's call, where have you been? :-)

The only RIGHT any human (man or woman has) is the RIGHT to remain silent, free speech and to bear arms, -and- expose the Democratic party ;-)
