Arthur, you become more and more amazing. The law of the land permits abortions and the conservatives who oppose it are not in total control to change that. If you are against abortion, then why you would support the left is truly amazing. I tell you what always amazes me. I am always amazed at the way the language is "managed" to make the positions of the left more palatable and disguise what they really mean. Take "pro-life", for example. Basically, those against abortion are referred to as "pro LIFE", right? Ok. Sounds logical. So, if we were being logical here, what is the opposite view called. PRO-DEATH?? OH, no. that sounds a little..... harsh, dontcha know?! Forget that it's logical, and accurate. Now, we need to find a "nicer" sounding word to describe killing these babies. So, we don't call them babies, and we don't talk about the fact that somebody is going to kill them before they get to take their first breath of air. Nope, it's PRO-CHOICE. Sounds so much nicer. We worry about the Mom's body. She has a choice. ( nobody is asking the kid whether he or she wants to live and giving it a choice and no worry about that little body.) Then, the very people who advocate croaking all these kids, are the very same people who claim to care so much about "the children." Go figger. Sorry, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

The right is against birth control, sex education, pregnancy before marriage, abortion, and welfare for single mothers.
Pick one that you would allow.
Let's say a teenage girl gets pregnant, she's not allowed to have an abortion, so...she has an unwanted child. She tries her best to raise the child while working a just above minimum wage job (why pay more? That would take money away from the corporations).
She soon finds herself unable to afford the basics, so she applies for state aid, but wait, righties hate assistance programs! She should work. Besides the assistance is almost a joke. How does one raise a child on this kind of money? She can't get a good job, let alone an affordable daycare. What's a girl supposed to do?
You want all these people to have babies, but you don't want to help take care of them by paying a decent wage or helping with a social program.
Make up your mind!
And we are NOT pro-death. I hate abortion too! I wish more women would give their children up for adoption. It is not my decision for a woman to give birth. Nor is it yours.
Don't forget the stigma that goes with pregnancy before marriage. While it may not be as bad as it was 20 years ago, it plays a big part in a girl's decision. Who is responsible for that stigma? Not the religious right, of course.
So, you want to outlaw abortion? Start paying for the unwanted children. Or would that be another lefty social program we couldn't afford.
I would be willing to compromise, let Halliburton run it for billions of dollars (we won't let any other company bid on it)! Now I know you're on board.
