So why have the republicans made it a priority to get rid of birth control? Mitt Romney told Mike Huckabee on his TV show that he was in favor of a personhood amendment, which would in fact outlaw most birth control and outlaw invitro-fertilization.

Hi buggyone: First a group of white guys made Roe v Wade the law of the land and since that time some 54 million abortions have taken place according to American Family Association.

Secondly let's take the issue of pro choice down to its most common use. A woman says Geeezzz, pregnant again. Oh well I'll exercise my pro choice rights and go to Planned Parenthood again and get rid of the little bugger free of charge . Because that's how you get to 54 million abortions so quickly. Buggyone this nation cannot have a serious discussion on this issue until we acknowledge that it is being abused by many. Its present application is simply too absolute and given the seriousness of this decision it merits many considerations including the fact that if you are not prepared for children then perhaps a woman needs to make some adjustments for no other reason than for her sake. There are some difficult situations such as a woman's health being placed in jepodary or a child who will be born with a disability that merit serious and deep discussion

Thirdly "choice" is juxtapostion in the case of abortion women should utilize their choices wisely to avoid getting pregnant. God knows sciene has made some impressive advances in birth control methods. I mean wasn't that what the feminist movement was all about??????? Repeated and unwanted pregnancies philosophically equates to some sort of subordinated position by females which negates it all

I opine you decide.

Personal Best Regards:

It is the law of the land for right now - and hopefully will stay that way. Republicans want to overturn Roe v Wade and it would only take an Executive Order (I believe) to do so.

Women have the right to their own bodies without morality being legislated to control it.

I would hate to see abortions being outlawed like they were before the late 1960's. Birth control is the best possible idea but a woman still has the personal choice of what to do with her own body.

I don't believe an executive order can overturn a Supreme Court decision. If it could you might as well disband the highest court in the land and proclaim the President as Emperor.

Someday though, may babies will have rights also. Maybe a baby's human soul will be recognized. Even maybe, evil will be seen for what it is.

Priority? Come on now. I think the Republican priority is the economy.

I said "a priority" not their number one priority. Did you sleep through the whole republican primary when Santorum said birth control should be banished? Do you remember the Sandra Fluke incident? The list goes on and on.

Isn't it interesting and somewhat curious that not one pro-choice advocate on this thread has mentioned "personal responsibility vis a vis personal rights. This absence of personal responsibility delinates the liberal agenda of I want and so I am so entitled but without sacriface, without acting out in a personal responsible manner. Its why a Wall Sreet article concerning "food stamps points out that people with an average of $96,000 shop at Costco while people with food stamps are found to be purchasing as an eample a $41 ice cream cake.. Liberals now chime in with your distractions instead of addressing the issue of personal responsibility. Remember what we sow is what we reap:boom: Like the guy on TV says that's me dropping knowledge on you:MOJE_whot:

All people who use food stamps are purchasing $41 ice-cream cakes? Of course not and that is not what you meant. Just a very poor example you gave.

Is it only "liberals" who believe in abortions? Doesn't a "conservative" ever have an abortion? Get real - of course a conservative will get an abortion if they want to stop an unwanted pregnancy. That is as silly as saying there is not such a thing as a conservative gay or lesbian person.

On a personal basis, I would have to ask you if your unmarried daughter or unmarried grand-daughter got pregnant and told you they had an abortion because they did not want a child at that time, would you support them in their decision or turn away from them?

buggyone: The reality is that many vendors understand that there is gold in them dare food stamps and so a liquidity market was created so that food stamp receipients can cash them in to buy booze and cigarettes. The abuse in government programs are predictable because pols start up programs never settin g up proper monitoring programs and move on to starting up more transfer programs. I truly wish the $41 ic cream cake was an exception. Fighting fraud is a full time job but alas our pols have short attention spans
