Countries that now have Paul Ryan's abortion laws include Iran, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Sudan

Is the Tea-liban that much different from the Taliban?

Meanwhile Israel has the most liberal abortion policy in the Middle East - include free government-provided abortions for soldiers.

Yet Republicans have no problem giving US taxpayer money to Israel, while wanting to defund Planned Parenthood even though taxpayer funds are specifically NOT used for abortions.

Just some random thoughts about the contradictions of the anti-choice zealots.

and sheer numbers, and barely above the third world in infant mortality while spending twice as much money, again per capita, as any other industrialized nation, on health care that 40 million people don't even get!

We're right up there with China at #2 in executions, too.

Who says this isn't a great country?

Do I really need to add

7. The difference between extremist Muslims and extremist Christians

Is that the former have theocracies where they can let their extremism rule.

We are protected by this from a secular government, which the Republicans would like to destroy.

Why are we supporting a communist country?

I've always thought the Tealiban was envious of the Taliban for the religious control they have over people's lives. It's not like their goal isn't the same - just a different underlying religion.
