    Really,then why didn't the Republicans vote for equal pay?

    This is a great PSA for equal pay for women from the 1960's. It's hard to imagine we're still having this debate too...

    1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't yet.

    2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."

    3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)

    4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.

    5) In Congress, Republicans had a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.


    6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.


    7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.

    8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for empl...

    9) Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.

    10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).

    Abortion is now care? What kind of sick and twisted world view you do you have? Killing a product of selfishness to suit a persons selfishness is not care it is disregard.

    So the fact that 99.7% of all abortions performed in this nation have no medical necessity, doesn't bother you. I can't wait until you death mongers want to give the children of the elderly the "choice" to kill them out of selfish convenience as well.

    Yet, I'm willing to bet you support the death penalty...

    How do feel about following a person's directive to end their life when they choose and not be made to suffer because of others wanting to protect them from themselves based on the other's religiosity and/or moral compass?

    You are falsely comparing apples and oranges, granted I understand it makes sense to the ignorant, but it has no bearing on the topic at hand. A criminal put to death chose to not want to be a member of civil society. A person who is not under the control of another can choose to live or die on their own accord. What we are discussing here is an innocent life that has no voice. And to further that, to the elderly example, as our population ages we will see more "assisted" suicides due to convenience and selfishness of those responsible for the aging family member who no longer has the capacity to think and act for themselves.
    Death does not bother me in the least, the reason for it is what I take issue with. Irresponsibility and selfishness is no reason to kill another, yet a minority of society condones it, which is shameful. You liberals always judge society by how the poor and voiceless are treated. Yet you don't see the hypocrisy in your position. I say society is a reflection of how we treat the innocent who cannot speak for themselves. In that reflection, your views of allowing abortion on demand to suit selfishness is a sad reflection of life's value.

    Your conflation of a zygote/embryo with a sentient being and your choice of support for a potential life over an actual living/dying person is irrational, condemnable, and totally irresponsible. Hypocrisy is espousing individual liberty and personal responsibility while at the same time denying the living and the dying of both.

    Innocent life is innocent life, there is no conflation. That creation of selfishness should have the opportunity to live. Instead you end it out of the same selfishness that created it.

    The only thing the vote last week proved is that Corporate America has the Republicans in their back pockets,and they do not want to pay Woman equally.

    Spot on. Another important bill that was passed was the Violence Against Women Act. Even though the bill passed, 205 members in congress voted against it. Really, what is that about?

    Ridiculous accumulation of worthless data. Good job.
    Your analogy would contend that there is a war on the American military as well, because soldiers aren't quoted when referring to military issues. Stupidity trying to find a point once again.

    Thanks for your inane analogy, false equivalence, and complete disregard for fact ... I've quickly come to expect nothing less (and as such, nothing more) from you.

    When the premise you start with is false it is easily defeated, but then again I would expect nothing more from those who are lead around by the ignorance they continue to hold. If your contention is the only person who should comment on any issue is one that either shares the same gender, ethnicity, or occupation of the subject matter, you would be an idiot, as your post proves.

    You again (at least you're consistent) present your adherence to extremism through fallacious argument, conjecture, and misrepresentation of the actual point of the article. The examples in the article are well documented and factual. What's the false premise?

    The false premise is that women are being excluded or included in fallacious arguments at any rate different than any other constituency. You once again do not understand the premise of this nation, and will present any fallacy to assure your idiocy is known.

    I have provided supporting documentation for my "premise" (as have others on this thread), where's yours? Your assertions are without facts or data.

    Typical Con, once your skewed opinion is refuted, you quickly descend into insulting blather and rhetorical nonsense. It's been fun as always...
