Its that time of year again when NARAL isssues its report card on how well the states protect abortion rights. There is a definite trend here. The Blue States get good grades, while the Red States receive failing grades. However, I consider a failing grade from NARAL to be an honor.

Ping!

A little bit of info showing the contrast between the Red States and the Blue States.

South Carolina get an F. Now we need to work on getting that D from the brady bunch up to an F.

If there are so many "bad" grades then why do we still have over a million abortions a year in this country? How many more does NARAL want?

What a disgusting organization! I can just hear one of their directors saying, "If your state aborts between 200,000 to 250,000 children a year you get a B+. Anything over 250,000 gets an A!" These sick bastards are a disgrace.

Louisiana "F": great!

"78 percent of North Carolina counties have no abortion provider"

Us Hoosiers are 93% provider free. Big Fat F, and proud of it. Plus, our Lt. Gov is NOT a (D)em as stated by the hags

[melbell]

uh oh...Mr. Melbell wants to live in Washington State and they got an A+

We will have to discuss this one..

What an informative website...I bet it wasn't designed for what we are using it for though!! *wink wink*

[SouthTexas]

We are 93% provider free and got a D? We must be slackin' somwhere.

[SandRat]

Cool! Arizona is pro life and pro-parents; as a result got a failing grade from NARL. We must be doing things right.

[armyman]

My state Iowa got a C dang it that needs to be lower

these people are sick S@Bs

Prochoice wont be happy until children of all ages can be murdered at will. After all, children of all ages can be 'inconvenient' and hard on any woman's health. I am surprised they don't have Andrea Yates and Susan Smith as their poster girls. God forbid that any woman suffer inconvenience by her children.

"How many more does NARAL want? "

EXCELLENT point!

[ozarkgirl]

Proud to see my state gets an F but checked my friends in Oregon "A" and worse Washington "A+". Ewww, how do you get an "A+"??

[Carry_Okie]

California gets an A+.

[GunnyB]

Ahhh! My beloved Virginia has an F! I've never been so happy to receive such a grade! Thank you Lord for giving us a passing grade with You...

I think NARAL looks at the historical trend of a state. Abortion restrictions were hardly ever proposed in the General Assembly. The current laws of WA are certainly pro-abortion friendly. But they are no different from OR. NARAL probably gave WA the A+ because it was one of the first states to legalize abortion before Roe vs. Wade.

[Houmatt]

What's this "anti-choice" business? Everyone is pro-choice. It's just that NARAL and Planned Parenthood happen to be pro-abortion.

[Kuksool]

Last year the kooks in the CA General Assembly passed a resolution celebrating Roe vs Wade. I wonder if Gov Terminator will join them this year in a effort to bring everyone together.

[OldBlondBabe]

Wow! Michigan, a blue-state, gets a "F"!
