Hold on, if that top chart is accurate, then blacks were jumping from the Republican party to the Democrat party in droves WHILE the Democrat party was fighting tooth and nail to keep segregation in the south?!?! I thought the jump came after the civil rights era died down.

I see it, I just don’t understand it. Some kind of Stockholm Syndrome?

It’s not ironic. It’s by plan. Just like immigration, there is plenty for the rat and gop politicians to love when it comes to infanticide.

Sadly, the graph also leaves out 2008, when 95% of all blacks in this country voted for one candidate -this approaches the numbers of southern voters who voted against Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 election (they had 3 choices).

By comparison, only about 75% of Catholics voted for JFK.

Regardless of who the Republican candidate is, less than 60% of women will vote for Hillary Clinton.

It appears we are to only marvel at the law degree - or the successful career.
We aren’t to bring up the bad decision that caused them to turn on their own babies like rattlesnakes.

More than 110 prominent members of the legal profession shared stories about their abortions with the U.S. Supreme Court...

Sixty million dismembered, murdered babies had no comment...

Irrelevant. Even babies conceived in rape, whose mothers did not have control over their bodies, should not be aborted. The argument needs to be framed in terms of human life.

The northern segment of the Democratic Party came out in favor of civil rights in 1948, at the convention which nominated Harry Truman (leading Strom Thurmond to bold the Democratic Party). The southern Democrats fought the civil rights movement well into the 1960s.

Correct. "Exceptions" are intellectually dishonest.

Either we are talking a human life, or we aren't.

If we are not, of course the mothers decision on what to do with her own body trumps all other considerations.

If we are, all exceptions are tantamount to murder for political convenience.

This debate has always been based on a philosophical understanding of the moment of personhood. The good news is that medical and technological advances are making it more and more difficult, morally, to push that moment later into the presidency.

I happen to subscribe to the notion that life begins at conception, but I recognize that I am in the minority there.

In the next generation, artificial wombs will become a reality, at which point the viability argument becomes irrelevant. At that point I expect that most of society will favor life, but that there will be a strong element of the pro abortion crowd who will argue that the power of life and death still resides solely with the mother.

If the freedom regarding the decision belongs solely to the woman, why doesn’t the sole responsibility for the decision belong to the woman?

And, in the interest of equal time, let’s hear from an abortion survivor:

Equal time and judicial impartiality should demand 110 stories from the other side, the pro-life side. The left’is not concerned about justice, but i am.

abortion sold under various feminist arguments, independence, dads disposable, career good, mother bad, wait awhile, have fun before burden of kids, men suck, don’t have defect babies, it is just’birth control, too many kids not spaced far enough apart, etc.

It’s not hypothetical, she voted for Clinton twice. She already did vote for a rapist, at least twice.

"There just seems to be more and more attacks on the ability of women to control their own lives," Katz Hoffman said.

And what does irresponsibly having abortions because using contraceptives is too inconvenient have to do with "controlling one's own life"? Women who exert control over their lives don't get pregnant with babies they intend to kill.

Elizabeth Sepper, an associate professor of law at Washington University, said personal stories from female attorneys might be an effective strategy both from legal and emotional standpoints.

Yep, women flaunting their callous disregard for human life makes *me* emotional. And the more they display their vapid selfishness, the more emotional I get.

For one, she said, their stories bear witness to the court's opinion in a previous abortion case, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, that women's equal participation in society depends on their access to abortion.

Really? Women who are too irresponsible to take measures against getting pregnant because they know they can kill the kid hardly make a good argument for the idea that women deserve equality. Killing babies does not make one equal. And plenty of women have become successful who have never had an "unwanted" pregnancy. I wish those abortion pushers would quit trying to make women look so stupid and irresponsible.

There is one other aspect of abortion that its promoters never mention. Abortion is all about killing those who do not contribute materially to society. Those who accept abortion are being conditioned to accept that they, too, can and should be discarded the moment they become "useless eaters."

Your pro-contraception argument is flawed. You assume contraception is foolproof and that women seeking abortion are just too lazy to contracept. False. Even Planned Parenthood admits that the majority of women who have abortions were indeed contracepting at the time they got pregnant. So spare us your lecture on birth control.

Even Planned Parenthood admits that the majority of women who have abortions were indeed contracepting at the time they got pregnant. So spare us your lecture on birth control.

Planned Parenthood's own "research" institute estimates that well over half of those who abort were not using any birth control at the time they got pregnant. Since it advances the agenda to claim that birth control has a high failure rate, that estimate is suspect, meaning the real number of women who get pregnant while using birth control is far lower.

The "pill" is >99% effective. Even condoms, properly used, are over 90% effective. While I have known quite a few women who have had abortions, not a single one of them made any attempt to prevent the pregnancy. In every case, abortion was the primary choice for birth control. This is also true of abortions that I read about in articles.

I'm sorry, but being anti-contraceptive while claiming to be pro-life makes no sense to me. Do you expect couples to remain celibate within marriage? Or do you think that women should keep on having kid after kid until they hit menopause?
