Clearly the only pro-abortion party is the Republican Party…

Abortion is the wedge that drives the Republican Party's base to activism. So much so, it's promoted to the point where it drives the trued believers to act both violently and hypocritically.

Killing to "preserve" life? Well, if the only"life" that matters are unborn fetuses, then kill away.

It's clear as day why the right wing base acts this way. Their unbridled piety and exclusive moralism makes them believe that they're the ONLY good people around. They're killing abortion providers out of the goodness of their own hearts and because they believe that their "God" would want it that way.

But, let's just suppose that the methods by which just about all adherents to reproductive choice were so prevalent and effective that they all render the percentage unwanted pregnancies in this country to negligible levels. Basically, a rounding error. Let's also propose that medical advances in reproductive healthcare increase the percentage of healthy and viable WANTED pregnancies to the point where the need to prematurely end those pregnancies fell to about the same rounding error…

Where would the anti-abortion, pro-life crowd be then? Not encouraging disaffected armed true believers to kill medical providers in the name of their god, we hope.

The mostly white, gun-loving, religious right, anti-woman crowd needs the practice of abortion (for ANY reason) in this country to justify their own quest for power. Without it, they would be left out in the cold.

Anti-abortionists love abortion, as it gives them a reason to exist, judge others harshly and practice their hatred of women's reproductive freedom.

And it always has been. Do you know that there are a fair number of them who claim that the birth control pill is an abortifacient (sp?)?

All women's reproductive healthcare results in abortions!!!!!!!! ARRRGH!!!!!!


That is how they think. It is not just abortions that they are against.

My best to you.
