Honestly, Margaret, if I hear one more old, white guy with an opinion about abortion, his skinny white ass is going to meet my rather large shoe. It’s a woman’s decision to make. Her body. Her choice. Period.
Bart Stupak is an ass. If he is in our “big tent” then our tent is too big. But if you ask me, the real problem is probably that the “pup tent” that greets him each morning is too small.
Abortion has no business being a political game… a sound bite to make the evening news. It is a medical decision between a woman and her doctor. If you have a moral dilemma or a religious issue, then don’t have an abortion. It really is that simple. Trust me. I know.
Abortion is not a dirty word and I am sick and tired of watching holier than thou white men in Congress pretending that they have any concept of what a woman goes through when making such an important decision. For some women it is a time of great sadness – a pregnancy gone wrong, a wanted child not to be. For some women it is a time of great relief – a decision to delay parenthood. It is a deeply, personal decision made for deeply, personal reasons. And, yes, for some women it is a decision they choose not to make – again for deeply personal reasons.
Bart, if you want to reduce abortions, vote to fully fund family planning and comprehensive sex education. Otherwise, shut the hell up. We don’t care what you think about our wombs.
Women in Michigan should hang a closed sign across their hoo-hoo’s until Stupak is either voted out of Congress or grows a vagina of his own. I mean it. Really.
Hi all, here every one is sharing these kinds of familiarity,
so it’s good to read this webpage, and I used to pay a quick visit this blog everyday.

It takes two to make a child. Last time I checked, a coherent father had a definite say in his future child’s life. This is about a child’s life, it has nothing to do with women’s rights. Get over yourselves you silly little liberals. People voice their opinion against abortion because the victims can’t. “I’ve noticed all those who support abortion have already been born.”

And, eventually the Prohibition against liquor was repealed, allowing most of us sane folks to live drunk because dealing with the nonsense brought about by TPs and the far right is more than we can bear sober. Separation of church and state: wish we could have a separation of crazy and the rest of us.

Excellent post. Wish there was a way the comments would only accommodate 15 responses before it started to go to page 2, then 3, etc. It’s very hard to read and article and then thoroughly read through lengthy responses/comments on just one page.
Is there some way to incrementally page like 1 to 15 response, then go to page 2 on your website????

thanks for re-introducing the moniker “hoo-hoo”! and great blog… i work with people as young as you, but often their thought processes are muddled with superstition and a multitude of logical fallacies. Helen Keeps it Real!

Brava, Helen.
Your thoughts, as always, are right on target. I am so tired of the implication that if a person is pro-choice that makes him or her automatically anti-life.
Abortion needs to remain safe and legal for women who need them and who want them. I have never been in a position to need one, and I don’t know what my decision would be if I was – but I do know that I would want a choice. I would want the opportunity to make that decision for myself.
Imagine a world where abortion is legal but almost never used because we have taught our children to respect themselves, to understand what sex truly is (and isn’t) without being ashamed of it… and to make responsible decisions based on their own beliefs and convictions while respecting the views of others.
What a wonderful world we could have…

Right on! How about we take Stupak et al and neuter them. THEN there will be no need for an unplanned pregnancy, and they will not be able to try and control women.

I’m a Christian, and proud of it–but I would NEVER assume that I know enough about anybody else’s situation that I can decide what they should or shouldn’t do with their own body. AND, even though I’m a Christian and proud of it, I often wonder what the hell happened to the alleged separation of church and state. If the government decides to get involved in a discussion of abortion based on the religious beliefs of its governing body, it’s abandoning the Constitution–that very same Constitution, ladies and gentlemen, that those very same anti-abortion-rights, right-wing-nutjobs seem to think Obama is trying to obliterate. Damn hypocrites.

Thank you for the confirmation Scott. If you must know, I actually had to cash in some IRAs last year to survive and received no payroll. So I paid in no federal or state from a personal perspective. The business had to pay the regular taxes and licensing fees to the governments, but profits were very down for the last fiscal term so not anything like 2007 or better yet 2006. 2006 we paid in mucho taxes as it was quite a profitable year.
And truly if the wealthy Wall Streeters were still loaning money to responsible people, I would have done quite well for the past couple of years, thank you very much. We can sell these pools, we just can’t get any financed. But it is my occupation of choice, so I will suffer the consequences, rest assured.
What did you pay in?

Good evening Auntie Jean and fellow porch dwellers.
A very insightful historical perspective on the biology of the maturing female of the species. That is one reason I have always been greatful to be male. In a lot of ways I thought men had it much easier than women in life. In some ways it balances, but I know women have suffered under the rule of men for most of our existence.
In our modern society some women have taken to reversing the role, but overall it is still a man’s world. As a man, I have been all about women since as far back as I can remember. I still believe them to be the best thing God created. So good that even angels were said to fall under their “spell”. What would life be without the sexes? Much more boring, for sure. It would be a real hard sell to convince me otherwise. But then, I am still learning and refining theories. Stagnant water turns foul.
Speaking of stagnant water, I have been casting a few baited hooks over at Neil’s place. Since he four-wheeled through our stream a few weeks back and left his calling card, I thought it only fitting to follow his tracks and throw a few rocks into his pond to see what life might surface. Therein stirs a variety of scaley finsters. Most swim to the right as expected. It might be fun for some from here to comment on one of his recent posts regarding who pays the most taxes. Got to keep ‘em honest, or at least try.
Peace and good night.
