Holy tobacco warriors take aim at the womb

Instead, it merely strengthens the case that government has no business regulating a woman's womb. Or any other body part.

Interesting statement from Parker.

[Jaysun]

A woman can do whatever she wants with her body parts - as long as she doesn't harm someone else (kill another human being, for example).

We are really sick and tired of MEN trying to govern our bodies!!  That said, I AM against abortion!

If they are so concerned about the baby, why don't they try and outlaw abortion...we know that kills.

[SweetCaroline]

Oh, but it is OK by these same idiots standards to have a baby killed by being extracted from the womb with a vacuum.

God Help Us All!

Well live with it honey, that's life. You can choose what you want and so can I. I choose to "govern women's bodies" as you put it.

Well, you will NEVER govern THIS gal's body, and that's a fact...............HONEY!

[SheLion]

FYI: I AM TOTALLY AGAINST ABORTION  by the way

You've just pointed out how absurd your own argument is. You're against abortion but you rant liberal lines about "your body"? How can you say on one hand that you're sick of men trying to govern women's bodies while on the other hand saying that I will NEVER govern your body? That's pretty much a given isn't it? There is no body governing going on, just people of both sexes trying to stand in the way of murder. I'd do the same for you no matter how young or old you were at the time.

But no, it's about "your body" right? You're asking us to ignore murder just because it's an inside job? That's f***ing ridiculous.

"Liberal Lines?"  Boy, that's a laugh if I ever heard one. Me a liberal. hahaha!  Too funny.  You don't know me too well, do you?!

And just WHERE did I say I was for abortion and murdering an unborn baby?  WHERE!  I  DEMAND to know where you got this forking idea bub!

But no, it's about "your body" right? You're asking us to ignore murder just because it's an inside job? That's f***ing ridiculous.

No!  YOU'RE the ridiculous one here!  Why don't you try reading?  Or is that too hard for you.  Maybe I should have posted this in Braille!

Exactly!  There is no reason on earth today for a woman to get pregnant unless it's rape.  What will all the birth control out there, women need to smarten up!  I knew one gal who didn't use birth control yet was in a relationship.

She got pregnant THREE times and just because the didn't want the baby, she had THREE abortions.  How stupid is that?  I just shake me head.

[metesky]

No, wait, this just in: A new study in Australia shows that women who smoke while pregnant may cause their children to become obese. In a University of Queensland study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, researchers found that smoking mothers' children were 30 percent more likely to be overweight.

How many times have we seen this chit? One year it's salt bad, next it's salt OK. Coffee bad one year, good the next. Alcohol bad, then good. On and on and on...

I've come to the conclusion that "experts" are bad, not only for your health, but for your sanity.

You hit the nail right on the head, metesky!!!

[OpusatFR]

An infant in utero has no legal standing nor does it exist as a separate entity from the mother's own body.

Now, how are they going to pass a law protecting a thing that is the mother's own body and not an entity entitled to protection under the law?

The nanny law could be one of those unintended consequences. ( ;

This is getting totally out of hand.  If this bill passes, then the government can dictate to a pregnant woman what she can eat and drink and what activities she can engage in.  TOTALLY over the top!

[383rr]

Disgusting, double standard bast#rds.
Oh, for heaven's sake, don't get a whiff of tobacco smoke while pregnant, but, hey, if you don't want the baby, you can go to the nearest abortion clinic and get it's brains sucked out.

WTF is wrong with these people? When the hell are people going to wake up and see these people for what they are, which is nothing but totalitarians? If they want to help "the children" so much, they should do something about abortion. Unbelievable!

"If they are so concerned about the baby, why don't they try and outlaw abortion...we know that kills."

That's one choice these scumbags in government ALWAYS seem to protect.

Can't smoke a cig, but hell, we can kill babies by the millions.

[CheneyChick]

One question - and please leave out all the red letters and exclamation points - it's just a yes or no answer. Would you smoke if you were pregnant?
