Someone water board me. PLEASE!!!
It would appear so.
Many of them prescribed and paid for by the taxpayers.
That idea is completely false. Educate yourself.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

End partisanship? He attacks conservatives every chance he gets- even when he agress with them.
Or both.
Well said.
Are you trying to cheer me up? I have to cut a check come April 15.
Uhhhhh...... my bad. :(
For your penance comb your hair with rotten fish bones. Trout will do.
This guy is corrupt to the bone marrow. It’s like a corrupt master in Rome, his coerced slaves live in greater dignity than he does in his autorepressive liberalness into nihilism.
The commies seem to have scored a hit in Hanoi when they got him there.
Anyone who’d use the word “integrity” to describe either of the clintoons has to be demented.
You have NO idea how much punishment that would really be. ;^)
Bipartisanship has become one of the many ways to say: it is OK to destroy America in PC ways and not OK to destroy your enemies in unPC ways. It’s a cult which destroys culture by libertine behavior. It’s a cult of cowardice which cannot understand the fair duel of cultures and instead wants each to f the other.

IF she is a VP pick, then either he’s going to kow tow to her or he’s asking for her Arkancide treatment.
Hillary wants to be prez, for the mere title of it.
McCain was trying to see how many falsehoods he could squeeze into a single statement.
He might as well have called himself "a little teapot".
What a joke.
And anyway, what about this guy?
Being in the senate is about being collegial -- which is one reason why Senators have such a problem in Presidential elections. Then again, when was the last time we had three senators as finalists?
Remember, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.
And anyway, what about this guy. Remember him?
Newt: Hillary shows courage, integrity

I’d certainly agree with Hillary having “a very different philosophical view”. (Whether it is particularly different from John McCains view is another matter). As for the rest, perhaps he knows something we don’t. Maybe Hillary really likes puppies, donates loads of money anonymously to various good causes, and weeps real tears without recourse to onions. Who can say? Sounds a tad unlikely though.
