Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1982) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details.

On April 25, thousands of people will flood downtown DC to support one common goal: preserving what few reproductive rights women in this country still possess.

They have got to be kidding. What a joke! All feminists seem to know how to do know is scream the sky is falling....When will these people realize what has truly been done to our society because of their constant bleating?

[Agnes Heep]

Reproductive rights my eye. How about reproductive obligations, such as, if you have sex, and an offspring results, you're liable for the health and welfare of the offspring?

[11th Earl of Mar]

Since 1991, a total of six deaths have been reported in possible connection with the drug, according to Planned Parenthood. By comparison, Viagra is linked to more than 616 deaths.

And ephedra, which is banned starting in two weeks, was CASUALLY linked to ONE death.

Reproductive rights: Does Gen X recognize the threat?

Does Gen X recognize that 1/3 of their brothers and sisters were murdered?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

I know that our generation (the "Boomers" can't help but label everything) is the first to suffer the effects of abortion. How many friends of all of us were killed because they had a selfish mother? Yeah, us "Gen-X'ers" are perfectly aware of abortion and it is another example of the greedy, self centered attitude of the "Boomers".

[brothers4thID]

Well a considerable number of Generation X'ers would love to speak out on "reproductive rights". Too bad they were denied the rights to freedom of speech and life.

Will it take a 180-degree turn on abortion rights - a reversal of Roe v. Wade - to change these women's minds?

The complacent may witness the so-called "impossible" soon enough. The right of women to control their own bodies hangs by a 5-4 vote. In other words, Bush needs to appoint as few as one anti-choice justice to overturn decades of progress in reproductive rights.

What a great set of rights. Rights that can be taken away by the appointment of a single judge are not rights. It is time the left understands this, "rights" given to you by judicial fiat can just as easily be taken away from you. When you do not use the legislative process there is nothing to stop what you have done to others to be done to you...

[TXBSAFH]

Maybe Gen X and Gen Y are starting to realize that abortion is MURDER!

[jalisco555]

It's called the Roe Effect. Children tend as a rule to follow the politics of their parents. Well, during the past generation many left-leaning women had abortions and therefore few children. Conservative women didn't have abortions and had larger families. Therefore, young people today tend to be more conservative. Many of those who would have been liberals were aborted instead.

[volchef]

Actually women are learning....abortion causes severe psychological problems, risk of cervical and breast cancer, and the loss of a beautiful human being. I hope that all women will eventually learn what an honor it is to be able to bear children and will hold that honor in the highest regard.

[xrp]

Lack of public funding for abortions

Why should the public fund abortions? #1 It is murder, #2 We didn't collectively participate in the conception.

[Old Sarge]

At no time during this entire farticle were the two words, "President" and "Bush", ever adjacent.

The hate of these people is palpable.

[grellis]

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Women have the absolute right to keep their knees together until they are responsible enough to bring a child into the world. Everything else is a reproductive wrong.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Feminist activists are sending women a wake-up call. But will anyone answer?

The usual suspects no doubt.

[NotQuiteCricket]

However, the ban actually denies aid to foreign non-governmental organizations that use their own money - not that of the U.S. government - to advocate for or perform legal abortions in their own countries.

This sentence is so confusing and confused it is funny. Umn - no lady, if they want to provide funds for this "medical procedure" then they can expect to receive no funds from us.

It is not as if getting rid of Roe v. Wade will completely get rid of abortion anyway, abortion will then become something that the states can decide on, not the federal government (this is a good thing). Maybe, hopefully, this will result in more responsibilities/funding being wrested from the white knuckled grip of the federal bureaucrats, and into the sweaty palms of the state governments.

And yeah, another thing. These womyn act as if the only thing standing between them and an unwanted child is an abortion, and that is blatantly false there are: IUDs, Cervical Caps, Diaphragms, the pill, the patch, and...oh my - abstinence. STFU!

[Modernman]

D&E is often the safest procedure to use to terminate the pregnancy of a deformed fetus.

Typical liberal distortion. Taken in a vacuum, this statement is true. If partial-birth abortion was only used to abort brain-dead or virtually dead babies, there wouldn't really be a debate. Only pro-life purists would argue that a woman should not have the right to abort a brain-dead baby.

Of course, the truth of the matter is that partial birth abortion, like most abortions, is mostly used for conevenience of the mother.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Bush needs to appoint as few as one anti-choice justice to overturn decades of progress in reproductive rights.

---

This is where the pro-abortion crowd made their mistake. If they would have went to the various state legislatures, and allowed the law makers decide the abortion question, they would have been able to make it legal in liberal states, and the fight against them would have been much weaker.

By having the Supreme Court rule it was a "Consitutional" right, they short circuited the process, resulting in a 30 year battle they will lose in the end.

If the Supreme Court can make something (not in the Consitution) a "right", the Supreme Court can take away that right.

I will go so far as to say that, that one ruling was the beginning of the end for liberals.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

The complacent may witness the so-called "impossible" soon enough. The right of women to control their own bodies hangs by a 5-4 vote.>>>

What a lie--but with truth. Things DO hang by a thread: the coming court-imposed "right" to be forced at gunpoint to pay for your employee's HIV+ gay "spouse's" health insurance.

[smonk]

"reproductive rights" is easily the most offensive and
inaccurate of all the phoney labels that the left has
created.

there is already a word for a LACK of "reproductive rights";
it's called eugenics, and if anyone in the abortion struggle
is practicing eugenics, it's the people in favor of abortion.
