So, in your vision of the perfect nation, children starve in the streets?
Good to know!
Ahhh, compassionate, humanitarian killing of children to prevent suffering. Just warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it?
50% of American women will have an unwanted pregnancy in their lifetime. The Republicans want the government to force these women to bring their pregnancy to term. Unwanted children are MUCH more likely to be abused. Therefore, Republicans are pro child abuse.
And don't tell me an embryo is a human being. If it was, the thousands of frozen embryos in fertility labs in this country would have the right to own guns.
Why can't everyone just have access to the morning after pill? PP has been lobbying under different names against it. Which proves they really do want to be abortion factories.
I want the morning after pill available to every young woman. Yes you heard it hear first from an old broad who is conservative but still rocked while she was young and I know first hand how one can make mistakes.
I just want the morning after pill to be available without question over the counter.
I guarantee you PP will be against this like they always have been.

"The science has confirmed the drug to be safe and effective with appropriate use," Sebelius said in a statement. "However, the switch from prescription to over the counter for this product requires that we have enough evidence to show that those who use this medicine can understand the label and use the product appropriately. I do not believe that Teva's application met that standard."
A U.S. District Judge ruled in 2009 that the FDA had "repeatedly and unreasonably delayed issuing a decision on Plan B for suspect reasons" and forced the FDA to lower the age to 17 and re-review the rationale for its decision. Teva Pharmaceuticals, which manufactures the pill, filed a new application in February of this year to re-label Plan B as over the counter."

"Hospitals across the state currently have the choice to distribute information about the emergency contraception if they want but some choose not to."

Look at it realistically. We do not allow very young people, boys and girls to buy cough syrup, or spray cans of paint, now I understand drain cleaner is off limits. Why? Because they lack good judgment. The morning after pill is not harmless. Misused it is quite dangerous.
"You may have some undesirable side effects while using the morning-after pill. But many women use Plan B One-Step, ella, and Next Choice with few or no problems."

More Teabagger-style....
Bullshit!!!!!
Today, the House Energy and Commerce Committee held its first business meeting of the year to consider H.R. 358, the misnamed Protect Life Act, that would prevent women from using even their own private funds to pay for insurance plans that cover abortion and would significantly expand refusal calls that allow women to be denied treatment, even in circumstances where their health or lives are in jeopardy.
During the debate, members of the Committee finally admitted what we knew to be true: hidden under the cloak of so-called "taxpayer funding for abortion," H.R. 358 allows states to deny insurance coverage of birth control.
That's right: the Pitts bill is part of the war on contraception that's being waged by House Republican leaders. They're pushing a spending plan that eliminates the Title X family planning program, which for forty years has provided contraceptives and other basic preventive health care to women in need. They're trying to defund Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest provider of contraceptive care. They are trying to prevent states from even exercising an option to expand contraceptive coverage under state Medicaid programs. And now, they are allowing states to deny women coverage of contraception under the Affordable Care Act.

Angry yet? I know I'd like to punch someone.
These guys did say they would be all about jobs, am I correct? And instead, they're about setting back women's rights 100 years?
Your thoughts?

Mr. Shithead; I support the idea of your mother having a post-birth abortion of you.
Of course, when they shove the needle in your cranium, they'll hit a vacuum...

I see this year-old topic has been rebooted for some reason.
"....Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced that most employers will be required to cover contraception in their health plans...."
Now, consider what that clause (C) means. It means that an insurance company could not provide a general health insurance policy that does not cover abortion, and at the same time a separate insurance policy that covers ONLY abortion, allowing a woman to buy the general policy at a subsidized discount and the abortion-only policy at full premium. Instead, any policy issued by a carrier that covers abortion must be matched by another policy that is identical in every way except that it doesn't cover abortion -- and that means that the woman, in order to have abortion coverage while getting the subsidy for other health insurance, must buy two general health insurance policies, one of them at full premium.
The effect is to deny any woman eligible for subsidized insurance premiums from being able to purchase abortion coverage AT ALL -- with or without the subsidy. That goes WAY too far.
47 percent of all abortions are the result of not using any form of birth control. At all.
I would be more than happy to help all women get access to contraception who want it. That alone would cut abortions in half. Which is way, way, way more than the abortions that would be prevented if Roe v. Wade were repealed.

I would be more than happy to help all women get access to contraception who want it. That alone would cut abortions in half. Which is way, way, way more than the abortions that would be prevented if Roe v. Wade were repealed.
Women do have access to all the contraception they want. They merely need go down to the local elementary school and pick up a case of condoms.

"Under the new rule, set forth by the Affordable Care Act, most women employed in the U.S. will have the cost of their birth control covered with no co-pay. Churches and other places of worship would continue to be exempt from having to cover contraception for their employees if they morally object to the practice, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, but all other organizations will have a year to comply with the new requirement, regardless of whether or not they are religiously affiliated."
Wrong, again.....as usual......

I dunno about elementary schools, but I know for a fact that every community has SOME group that's giving out free condoms. Tucson has multiple groups that do it.
Or, you know, if they care about not having children as much as the rest of us are supposed to care about them not having children, they could just hit the drugstore and buy some.
I can see anti abortion. But anti contraception? What about the married couple that choses they dont want kids? I APPLAUD them for making that decision. What is wrong with contraception. Please explain. I'm not for abortion but I know some young couples who have chosen not to have kids and we should encourage them for such a decision.
