Oooooh! Fewer abortions! SOUND THE ALARM!!!!!

[St. Clair Slim]

Then maybe they will now get rid of the Planned Parenthood clinic not far from where my cousin used to live.

[Paul Atreides]

``The threat to choice is greater today than it has been in decades,'' said Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League.

Boo hoo!

[MHGinTN]

From the article: Anti-abortion groups were encouraged by the victories, but made clear they expect concrete results in the form of legislation restricting abortions and confirmations of anti-abortion federal judges. And that is the essence of what the supporters for serial killing are left to defend ... reductions are characterized as extreme when the wholesale slaughter now occurring is actually the extreme defended as enlightened social policy! Can someone say 'blood of the innocent on their hands'? You bet we can!

The Republican takeover of the Senate, a result of crucial victories by candidates opposed to abortion, has set off cautious celebration among anti-abortion activists and alarm bells in the opposing camp.

They're moving to France???

[ClancyJ]

Maybe they need to go out and get their abortions today while they can. Or, maybe check on layaway options.

Such a crisis! What is a woman to do in these times of no birth control, no pills?

Such power in denying their future son or daughter its only opportunity at life. How can they possibly give up that power?

"Tipping the balance of the Supreme Court with one more extremist justice would ensure the loss of abortion rights for generations"

<< gasp >>

ain't it a bitch?
put some ice on it....

[pabianice]

We need to use correct terminology. They are PRO abortion, not 'abortion rights.' Let's remember that here on FreeP.

I'm a little slow, and it's been a long time since I studied formal logic, so let me see if I got this right.

1. In every Senate race where the pro-aborts spent millions of dollars making abortion an issue, the PEOPLE voted for the right-to-life candidate and rejected the pro-abort candidate.

2. The pro-aborts now fear that this might allow the Senate to confirm "one more extremist justice" who is not a pro-abort.

3. Thus, the majority of the voters in all five of those states are "extremists."

Everyone understand now?

[zarf]

I am a pro-choice Republican, but I'm against partial birth abortions.

What is pathetic is that the Democratic Party's only rallying issue is abortion.

It is the only issue that motivates them to go to the polls.

Taxes? Defense? Social Security? Homeland? Defense? Do the Demonrats have any substantive views on these issues?

Ann Coulter was right....they should change their name to the abortion party.

[goo goo g'joob]

...it's been a long time since I studied formal logic...

if p then q (as I recall)

[MHGinTN]

Zarf, I would be interested in reading your particulars of 'pro-choice' yet against partial birth abortion. If you like, Freepmail me and we will discuss it further.

[fooman]

Are you for third abortions? After which....

1) The baby can be operated on per the drudge picture

2) There is a clear hearbeat.

3) British scientists have shown clear neural and mental activity.

I think that legislation getting rid of third term abortions should be next, NOT Roe v Wade.

Peoples postions on this must evovle over time

[fooman]

Should say 'third term abortions...'

[americanMel]

``Roe v. Wade hangs by a single vote,'' said Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women. ``Tipping the balance of the Supreme Court with one more extremist justice would ensure the loss of abortion rights for generations." Extremist justice? Who are they calling extremist? PUHLEEEZE. Take a pill and get over it already. We've taken our country back (hopefully).

[HelgaHawk]

I've always found that the term "Planned Parenthood" is so ironic. What kind of planning is invoved there? I thought planning meant deciding when was a good time to have children, and knowing how to avoid having them when you don't want them. No planning parenthood in abortion, no way. By then, they are in reactive mode instead of proactive mode.

[nutmeg]

FYI

[Atlas Sneezed]

What exactly are these folks worried about? What laws do they think a Republican Senate would pass?

What rulings do they think conservative judges would make?

Their worst case would simply be that states decided for themselves, and few states would outright ban the procedure, as this would be unpopular almost everywhere.

What they are is abortion-hustlers, who profit pesonally and politically from the illusion of emergency they create.

Ask a pro-abort what they think is the moral distinction between a mother killer her "fetus" moments before birth and killing her baby moments after. I have never heard a coherent answer to this.

[fooman]

I want to play it quiet on Roe v Wade and not prematurely energize the bad crowd.

As bush said, hearts have to change.

The way to do that is show lots of the 4d sonogram baby pictures and work for a SECULAR ( I am Catholic) banning of third term abortions.

We should also eliminate laws that require hospitals and doctors to perform abortions.

[Notforprophet]

Well said, both of you. BTTT
