To fully answer your question, could you post a picture of the Bush?


Here's one (and you can change it if you don't like it!)...

A change might be good, but the alternatives available might not be much of a

mothers seeking abortions

Now there's an oxymoron for you. Women seeking abortions are not
mothers.

I guess you could make an argument either way depending on your view. I bet
that the people I see picketing Planned Parenthood would disagree.

Are you saying one can't be a mother, and then later in life seek an abortion?

With some of the kids in our neighborhood, I think it would be tempting!

LOL I was, of course, referring to a subsequent pregnancy.

Yes, but if abortion could be retroactive ....

I actually knew a guy who described himself as a poster child for
abortion ;-

Not even if they already have a dozen kids? How would you characterize their
relationship to those 12 kids then?

You do mean pro-choice. Cause nobody except a few lunatics are pro-abortion. The
term "pro-abortion" was coined by the anti-choice people (mostly white men) who
wanted to twist the political language to fit their purpose of taking reproductive
choices away from women.
I dont like abortion either, my choice and thankfully never had to come up to that
choice face to face.
Pro-choice people have to often be over the top and strident cause many of the
anti-choice people are crazy as hell, including gunning down doctors and threatening
women exercising their choice. I live in Milwaukee.... a hot bed of the anti-choice
nut cases.

I have heard some pro-abortion advocates lately. Alexander Sanger, the
grandson of Margaret Sanger, wrote a book on the subject called "Beyond
Choice." I heard an interview with him on the Signorile show on Sirius
Radio. He made some good points and didn't appear to be a lunatic. Unless
you think that abortion is a moral issue instead of a medical issue, there
is no reason to make moralistic judgment about the person who has an
abortion. In fact, Sanger argues that a person who chooses an abortion can
actually be doing the moral thing for herself, her family, and society. The
anti-abortion movement has been wonderfully successful in framing the issue
in religious and moralistic terms just as they have turned same-sex marriage
into a religious argument instead of a civil rights or legal argument.

Maybe she thinks women whose babies are stillborn are also "not mothers".

Reminds me of a guy I work with who thinks that if a father of 10 kids dies and
leaves the mother and kids, what's left is no longer a "family". :/

Haven't heard any of them advocating bombing anti-choice people or shooting

I wouldn't call them wonderfully successful. They're just playing their favorite
card, which they try to use in EVERY situation, since they think THEIR religion
should control every situation.

Oh, now, that's definitely the same thing. Anything to stretch a

That is good!

I would never want anyone in my family to have an abortion but I am
pro-choice.

You sound bitter.

When a less loaded term is used you instantly recognise that despite
the death of the unborn child, the person who just gave birth is a
mother. Perhaps if more people recognised that, abortion would never be
used as backstop contraception.


Maybe if people didn't turn a medical procedure into a moralist, judgmental
battle it wouldn't be so traumatic. I don't think abortion should be used
as a contraceptive method, but only because there are far less invasive
methods available. Unfortunately, the very same people who have made the
prohibition of abortion their raison d'être also want to ban any discussion
of birth control methods, particularly if that discussion takes place in a
school. Thank to idiots like George Bush, people are being subjected to the
ridiculous "abstinence only" approach to sexuality. So having to use
abortion as a method of contraception becomes more likely as does the
transmission of disease. Thank you Jesus!
