Well... We at least know that the women are safe from the likes of Larry Craig and Ted Haggarty... But the young men and the vials of oxycontin might not be AS safe.

And conservatives still claim there isn't a war on women? Taking away our rights, state by state. Maybe I should become a gun owner so I can use my 2nd amendment rights against politicians like this...

(note: that last sentence was, of course, not something I'd ever do. But I wrote it in hopes some of the conservatives on this site would realize how stupid that kind of thing sounds)

I hope the women in those states vote the a*holes out of office.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to protect innocent life. Have a blessed day.
 
So a woman can live in a crime infested neighborhood but she's safe as long as she has good abortion options nearby? I find that one hard to believe.

Additionally, I believe the whole "the government shouldn't get in between a woman and her doctor" argument to be a complete canard. The government prevents a woman from selling one of her kidneys. Why? Shouldn't that be a decision between her and her doctor? Why would the government get between that decision? If someone is willing to fork over $50,000 for her kidney why shouldn't she be able to do it? She isn't. The government stops her. Surely her kidney is no more a life than an unborn baby. Surely a kidney is nothing more than a collection of cells. And most assuredly she can live with one kidney. Why not a lung? Why can't she sell a lung? People can live with one lung? I am sure a lung will fetch a pretty penny on the open market.

Now some might think I am being facetious, but I am not. The simple fact is that the government stands between an individual and their medical decisions all the time. If the government can tell you that you can't sell an organ, surely it can tell you that murdering an unborn baby is a bad thing. JMHO

a) while you may feel an abortion is murdering an "unborn baby" many of us don't feel the same way

b) the organ restriction is because there is something appalling about someone making money by stripping their body of necessary parts. A similar analogy would be to compare it to surrogate mothers, which is legal, but the price is supposed to be limited to covering the costs of the pregnancy. So false analogy in your post.

Yes, the decisions around pregnancy should be between the mother, the doctor and the father - IF he is involved. It's not a canard.

And yes, the restrictions on abortion ARE dangerous for a woman - witness that Philadelphia doctor. Desperate women do desperate things, and it can lead to illness, sterility and death of the pregnant woman.

Tekkychick, if we look at crime statistics and the murder and rape of women in the U.S. those numbers are less than the the number of similar incidents to what occurred in Ohiladelphia? Again I find that hard to believe.
