I don't feel abortion should be used as a contraception -- but a woman should have the right to choose -- but if you are having abortions frequently you should recheck your choices
It is such a personal and private and painful decision made for so many individual reasons. And it should be left to the woman and her doctor alone to make that difficult decision.
I also agree with Tammy when she said that abortion should not be used as contraception. As long as birth control is available, women need to be responsible for preventing an unwanted pregnancy.
Education and access to birth control is needed to prevent abortions.
What shocks me is that while Panned Parenthood does do safe, clean abortions, they also provide millions of women with education, birth control and other procedures that have helped reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies in this country. It seems to me that if I were of the staunch Anti-Choice mindset, I would want PP operating.
The responsibility of the federal government is to be fiscally conservative and socially agnostic. Public opinion is protected (so far), but government control is not. These daily polls are... quite the... troll.
John, I'm employing the same logic that Republicans have embraced regarding taxes, that the refusal of the Republicans in the Senate to vote for a continuation of the tax rates for 98% of Americans who earn $250,000 or less because they did not include the continued extension of generous tax rates for the to 2%, and the refusal of the House to take up the same legislation it amounts to a tax raise on the 98%.....Republicans have employed that argument thanks their pledge to Grover Norquest, if that tactic is legitimate for Republicans it is just as legitimate, then the claim that Republicans are now raising taxes of 98% of Americans is just as legitimate because the voted against keeping the lower rates for the 98%.
Ed,
You said there was an actual vote to raise taxes. That was not true, and that is not the same as what you are saying now. And the House position is not to raise taxes on anyone. Now if you don't vote to raise taxes, how is that twisted into a tax increase?
The Democrats could keep the tax rates the same as they have been, for a decade, for everyone.
By your logic, Senate democrats, by refusing to let 2% of the people keep the money they already have now, will take away more money from 100% of the people to get even.
And, not voting to raise taxes does not mean anyones taxes goes up. There are two other possibilities. They could do what we do now, borrow the money from other countries, or cut spending.

I bet they borrow.
