1. Oh, man. I get his points, but I am so tired of women's uteruses
having to be a topic for political discussion. That's probably why it took me so long to get here (in this forum). People get nosy and personal on abortion even when they don't have a stake in it. I'm almost beyond my childbearing years (49), but it scares the shit out me that we could go back to pre-1973.

But there are so many people trying to cram their religious beliefs up everyone's vagina. Choice is at risk, and after they have their way with it, they are going after contraception. Whenever I get into it with the nuts, I always ask them where they stand on it, and then I run the point, "they'll go after contraception after they overturn Roe," to get women and men off ther asses and take a stand.

2. I got so pissed when I read that thread. I don't want to find common
ground with forced birthers. I also refuse to debate them, this was settled in 1973 and they have no right to an opinion about what somebody else chooses to do with their body. They need to just grow the hell up. If you don't like abortion, don't fucking have one.

3. Exactly.
It seems like almost everyone I know has a story. Even if it is about a friend, it is usually personal to the person telling it.

And fortunately. someone had a website up at one time about all of the hypocrits who want to deny the right to choose until they needed it for themselves or someone close to them.

5. Thanks for the link, iverglas. I think this piece deserves it's own thread.

6. That is very good
Especially Since abortion has arrived to the political "table" recently, with the doublespeak and the bullshit that goes along with it. Bookmarked, and thank you--

7. I've been saying this since shrub took office...
It's great seeing others that noticed the same trends, regarding women's rights and choices.

This admin. created a climate where suddenly pharmacists felt free to deny to fill women's bc scripts on moral grounds. It's not a coincidence at all. Oh, and while I'm on that issue (and ranting) they have no issue at all filling scripts for "viagra." :eyes: Who exactly are these men having sex with? Not every guy with a viagra script is gay and I bet if they were, they'd find a way to not fill them.

:rant:

Roe and bcp go hand in hand. They've slowly but surely chipped away at these rights and issues their entire time in office. They've even started in on the peri-menopausal and menopausal women. Attempting to take away the rights to compounded hormones and meds (stuff they can't patent and make a fortune from like they did with the horse urine). Their horse urine cure to menopausal issues gave women cancer. Now that women know this and won't take them, their crappy pharma has lost them all a fortune.

When they ask me why I hate America, I counter it with why do they hate women?
