...But the American Psychological Association found 'no credible evidence' that an abortion of an unwanted pregnancy causes mental health problems....
NO, I have never had an abortion. Jerks ! But, I have girlfriends that have and they have gone on to live happy and fulfilling lives and had more babies. One with the same man that her inital abortion took place.
IT SIMPLY, was the wrong time for them to start their families.
Stop demonizing women and I mean NOW !!!
THIS IS AN ABORTION CLINIC !!!
It is real. It exists. It will always be a part of the American Landscape. Get over it. Its demise is a Trojan Horse that threatens our democracy.
John McCain is threatening the lives of women and I am not going to put up with it ! He has NO RIGHT to take the issue of 'life' in his hands as a candidate for President of the United States of America.
"At the moment of conception," McCain replied, to loud applause from the audience. (click here)
The issue of abortion is one that belongs in the halls of theology and not government. John McCain and his political pandering is opening the door to victimize women and introduce a 'culture of contempt' that will remove our USA Constitution from existence and replace it with a Christian dominated political structure with goals that are adverse to our best outcomes including women's ability to compete on the political stage and obtain top ranking jobs due to inability to attend educational opportunities.
We know for a fact that past generations of women in the USA were DELAYED by ten years in their political careers. THE REASON. "Family Responsibilities."
That 'was' the reason to move to a liberated state for women, but, the 'risk to democracy' marshalled in with the McCain statement that will only serve to 'engage' a different political philosophy for the USA will lead to a greater danger to the freedoms of the USA.
There are many religions in the USA and many are NOT opposed to a Woman's Right To Choose, yet one wouldn't know it to listen to McCain. McCain is NOT for the people, so much as for the Christian Conservative. He is religiously biased and the "W"rong place for any American President to be.
McCain's political posturing is poison to the 'ideals' of freedom of the USA and his pandering to Pro-Lifers is proof the man has no backbone so much as a goal to end the choices that women of all walks of life currently enjoy in order to facilitate the priorities of a 'religious preference.' That perspective opens the door to a government that biases legislation and causes other religions into the 'background' of the USA with the eventual outcome that eliminates them completely. THAT is the goal of the Religious Right and no one can deny it regardless of their willingness to say otherwise in a 'spirit of generosity and neighborliness.'
I don't need their generosity or the neighborliness of anyone. I simply need the freedoms afforded me under MY Constitution.
Why should any religion dominate the laws of the USA unless it was to turn its leaders into powerhouses with trends that would continue to destroy the USA Constitution and eliminate the separations of church and state? There is no separation of church and state in the McCain words and he is about as contemptable a person as they come when the topic is women and their protections.
The religious bigotry caused by The Republican Party this election should have been 'called' by the media a long time ago. Where in the wildest imaginations of ANYONE do they find 'the right' to character assassinate a Presidential Candidate based on his religion as a child being raised by a dedicated mother struggling for her own economic stability in providing for her son !!!???
Where do these people 'get the right' to turn the word Muslim into a 'dirty word?' And the nation of electorate of the USA actually allow them to get away with it? If that form of character assassination can 'go on' without social ridicule in overwhelming terms, what does that say about bigotry and bias in general as a nation of people? Like, WOW, I don't even want to 'go there' in realizing 'the sad state of affairs' we are in if such fears manifest into the 'voting reality' of the day.
The national focus of what is ACCEPTABLY 'good vs bad' is completely out of balance. Child rearing should mean something. Attending church and seeking the advise of a pastor, rabbi, priest or any clergy should mean something. Instead, the 'blur' of God overseeing the laws of the USA has become a part of bigotry in a way that will remove protections from 'the individual' and force a 'homogenicity' to the USA populous that is dangerous to our freedoms and individuality. It's "W"rong and John McCain is "W"rong. Dangerously "W"rong !!!
Are the people of the USA so scared of the reality of their Constitutional freedoms that they have to reliquish them to religious leaders that can't see the forest for the trees?
The real initiative with abortion is NOT eliminating it by 'rule of law' but 'uplifting society' to the point where its existence is simply a cliche to the value of women, children, family and the depth of that to our society. When a religious organization FAILS at its ministry to the point where it demands changes to Constitutional Rights, that is where EVERYONE should draw the line.
My purpose in life is NOT to uphold the values of Evangelicals out of 'fear developed' by their own religious bias, but, to be open to the realities of all Americans and the adversity they face.
Abortion will become unheard of, when women are honored, given equal access to every aspect of life, children are revered in their potential and that link exists in 'the idea of opportunity' to parent. When parenting 'in poverty' becomes such an abhorrence to the American Conscience then and ONLY THEN will abortion become simply a definition in a dictionary.
What's the matter? The Religous Right NOT up to it !!! After all we have legal recognition of Faith Based initiatives. So. Ah. Like. What's the problem?
Fear mongers all !
