THIS DEMOCRAT MAKES AKIN LOOK GOOD.

He was pro-choice when he invested ($75 million) in Stericycle, a company that disposes of dead babies.

But that was business. Business need not be concerned with morality, that is the job of government targeting what people do in their bedrooms and what women do with their uteri!

According to the extremists that write the GOP platform, it is black and white. They concede that individual politicians adopt a stance that allows for a few shades of grey but maintain that these politicians do so not out of conviction but for pure political viability and expediency. In other words, these Republicans say only what they know voters want to hear but really see it as a black and white issue with no shades of grey allowed.

the extremist from the jackass party think its ok to kill babies 8 1/2 months into the pregnancy. they only claim to be against partial birth murder for the independent vote. whats your point?

I seem to have hit a nerve. You appear bent out of shape a bit here. Can't respond intelligently so you just throw a little tantrum? Cute.

How so? Where are Democrats running around trying to force late term abortions on anyone? My wife was pregnant and carried our daughter to term. I do not recall any Democrat ever trying to force her to have an abortion. Do you know of people that have been pushed to have abortions by Democrats? Has the Democratic party somehow added to their platform that the party will force people to have abortions? I've read the relevant portions of the platform today - posted them here even - and I can't find any such thing in there. So, what are you talking about?

regardless of whether one is for or against abortion, that does not grant any member license to post material of aborted ____ (insert appropriate name here depending upon your stance on abortion).

The GOP wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade and ban abortions. That is their declared platform. That's not BS, that's reality.

the above rational post is NOT what i was discribing as BS...and you know that. i've already given my opinion on what would & wouldn't pass as acceptable with the american public in regards to an anti abortion bill, so no need to repeat it. plus the fun police are camping out here now.

eta: 5-10 second response time after posting...very impressive officer.

That explains a lot.

no. the government does need to quit spending more money than we have, and there are places we could cut spending. once the credit cards max out, its going to get real ugly.(Greece..but, with an armed population)

If you believe that is true, why are they wasting their time on this? Surely this time (money) could be better spent? Why should the GOP waste our money on "theatre" and then refuse to expand medicaid because it is "too expensive"?

That would be called "pro-choice".. The viewpoint you expressed fits very nicely with that movement. Neither side celebrates abortions or is trying to talk people into them. The debate is about who has the final say: society or the woman. If you go to a pro-life rally you will find nobody shares your views on leaving it up to the woman to decide.. The pro-choice people on the other hand would give you a big thumbs up and maybe a hug, so go on over and say hello.

The names could be better.. Maybe "pro-legalization" and "anti-legalization"

I respect your opinion, but I insist in declaring myself pro-life. If some group has misappropriated the name, so be it. They are not pro-life, from the moment they support the death penalty.

Where I disagree with you is that since Roe v. Wade abortions are legal, so there is no sense is talking about pro-legalization, no more than speaking of pro-alcohol would have after the repeal of the XXI amendment.
