  • A False Dichotomy

    Pitting women’s rights against cultural freedom implies that a woman’s equality, dignity, and health are somehow foreign concepts outside the West. But the African Union human rights treaty only recognized abortion rights because of activism by African women’s groups (Solidarity for African Women’s Rights), who recognized that illegal and unsafe ...

  • Re: something that is never mentioned

    I had no doubt that some of you would dismiss the first source. That's why I arbitrarily picked it - Chapter One, Footnote One. However, this claim may ALSO be verified through Gallop. But more importantly, there are multiple sources - some I'm sure you wouldn't dismiss. Unless of course, you've already to decided to dismiss information from ...

  • Re: something that is never mentioned

    Well you need to read some more then. Your emotions cloud your reasoning. If in fact you have an education, then you know (particularly as an ethicist) that uncontrolled outbursts are a sure sign of a hidden problem. I'm guessing involvement in an abortion. But maybe not. But surely, if that's the case, you'd have to agree that your ability ...

  • Re: So sick of this.

    Correction.... one point six million murders per year. Almost fifty million since Roe v. Wade. That's roughly 17% of our population. That's 1/6 of our population - young people who would be starting their own families now, paying taxes, buying houses and contributing to society that are missing. Yep, no issue is bigger than slaughtering 1.6 ...

  • Re: something that is never mentioned

    HA! You've fallen for the hype that ''It's just a blob of tissue.'' of ''A bunch of cells.'' But let's just assume (for a moment) that this is true (as you think) during the first trimester. Are you then in agreement that abortion is wrong in subsequent trimesters? Here's a link about fetal development ...

  • Re: something that is never mentioned

    Check your facts folks. PP does NOT encourage or promote adoption. IF they did ''Planned'' ''Parenthood'' would be a natural segway toward adoption and offer the services themselves. But they're not really planning parenthood for anybody. Interestingly enough, the Crisis Pregnancy Centers who DO promote adoption are on PP's target list. ...

  • Re: Too Silly for Words

    Amazing how silly our government can be..... Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia about the Dred Scott Decision... Dred Scott v. Sandford,[1] 60 U.S. (19 How.) 393 (1857), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court that ruled that people of African descent imported into the United States and held as slaves, or their descendants[2]—whether or ...

  • Re: something that is never mentioned

    Sorry, your ten cents, isn't worth a nickel. Honest Pro-life folks see that women who are faced with a crisis pregnancy need the greatest compassion of all. Pro-Choice folks don't realize that she's not offered any choice at all except killing her child. Planned Parenthood doesn't offer (or want to offer) information about adoption options, ...

  • Palin Teenage Pregancy.

    What no one is considering here is the possibility that this young girl could have been coerced/pressured by her boyfriend into having unprotected sex. She also could have been raped/incested. And given her mother's zero tolerance stance on abortion, that would mean that the possibility exists that this young girl is being forced by her mother to ...

  • Why John McCain should put Sarah Palin on the Supreme Court.

    While you are at the moral high horse it is a good idea to have look at the following subjects. The party has moved from taking the female vote for granted to outright contempt for women. That’s why Palin represents the most serious conservative threat ever to the modern liberal claim on issues of cultural and social superiority. Why? Because men ...
