4. It speaks for itself

Women should turn it into a banner.

5. So when does the GOP

officially change its symbol from an elephant to a coat hanger?

[hurple]

6. tried a similar argument on an anti-choice colleague a few weeks back...

And his reply was among the lines of, "What? So am I supposed to feel sorry for somebody who gets hurt because they have an illegal abortion? I'll never feel sympathy for a murderer."

7. Ask your anti-choice colleague whether a rape or incest victim should be forced to carry

and give birth to her attacker's baby. Ask your anti-choice colleague to read, in its entirety, Eve Ensler's essay on what the Republican Party's absolutist position on abortion means to millions of women.

Ask your anti-choice colleague what the difference is between "legitimate," "forcible" rape and other kinds of rape (whatever the fuck those are). Better wear a neckbrace, because you'll end up having to smack your forehead pretty hard when you hear the answer.

31. Ask those who oppose abortion whether a woman who has an abortion

should go to jail?

And then ask them whether the woman should face the death penalty?

Most abortion opponents don't want to put women who have abortions in jail or to death. They have not thought through what "outlawing" abortion means.

12. Your 4th post is a...

... Teapublican talking point?

Care to explain?

16. a very

What an outstanding use of a font to make a point.

13. This time around it would be worse. Much, much worse.

Backyard butchers had some limited idea of what they were doing, and mostly managed to do what they set out to do. It's what happened on the rare ocasions they fucked up that put the frighteners on.

The ubiquity of the Internet, means a hell of a lot more DIYers than in the days before Rowe vs. Wade. Recriminalisation of abortion would be an ER nightmare.

19. People who want to outlaw abortion don't care

They feel like they will have the lords approval, just like if Gays can't get married God will delay Armeggdon
but here's what I don't get, and I am losely christian.

They believe in a God that has a plan to destroy billions of lives BILLIONS but It's god will to out law abortion
Is Abortion making God's end Game a little easier less people to wipe out and all
See this is why I am losely Christian

20. I think the same thing could be said about other things,

like marijuana, liquor and tobacco.

IF YOU OUTLAW MARIJUANA, ONLY OUTLAWS WITH DEAL WITH MARIJUANA.

You get the idea.

21. The answer to unwanted babies

As a Trauma Center ED Administrator, I saw unwanted babies murdered by parents, starved to death, born in a toilet by 15 yo mom whose own mother was screaming in Spanish "it's not hers". Our answer - "follow the cord Grandma". Mother and grandma abandoned the baby at the hospital. Baby found in dumpster, another never found but all signs pointed to landfill. My point: the GOP does not give a damn about the living so why the angst about the unborn. Oh yes, they have a soul. My answer. I was raised on a reservation. Many native Americans believe the soul enters the body with the first breath. When fetuses get funerals and life insurance for miscarriages I'll believe their anti- female BS. As to govt paying for contraceptives, stop paying for Viagra and fertility treatments. God doesn't want you to have a baby so suck it up.

25. Welcome to DU.

You are so right. The religious, patriarchal politicians don't give a crap about real children.

[mzmolly]

22. That is

brilliant.

[The Doctor.]

23. Yep, use that one all the time.

Among others. It's fund watching their heads explode when you compare banning abortion to banning guns.

Same basic result: People keep getting them.

26. Lest us not forget that on top of forcing children to have children

Once they are born, they (the repukes) don't want to help feeding and/or caring for them. Gov't intervention in life, but not to sustain that life. Disgustingly hypocritical as usual. K&R

32. That's what Republicans want

Then they can arrest and kill doctors who perform abortions with full backing of their law.

Makes me wonder: when they get their way, and they've either killed us all off or made us emigrate, how long will it take before they turn on themselves and do a reasonable imitation of the closing scene of "Animal Farm?"
