This is my body

Its amusing to me that a bunch of women whining in a video about how they want control over their own bodies are really talking about wanting a bunch of other people to take responsibility for almost every aspect of their reproductive lives.

Where on earth do rightists come up with this ignorant nonsense.

It's quite simple. If you want to take responsibility for your "reproductive choices" (birth control and abortion), then pay for it yourself. Because once you ask others to pay for things, they have a vested interest in making sure you are using their funds wisely. In short, when someone else foots the bill for what you do, those actions are no longer private.
 
Agreed. And that's the point I'm trying to make. When you take risks, there are consequences. Sometimes these consequences are undesirable. It's wrong to avoid responsibilities when you make mistakes. Just like the man who made a mistake must face the consequences of supporting the child, the mother must take responsibility for her actions and inactions.

Pefectly valid points you are free to apply to yourself whenever you find yourself in that situation. But the only person you are free to apply them to is yourself.
Millions of dead fetuses and fathers denied their children appreciate your concern with bearing responsibility for ones actions.

No problem. Glad I could help.
 
She can't throw it in the garbage but she can give it up for apoption.

Dumpster babies are more common in California than those given up in safe havens.

You are a liar. ALL neo republicans are liars.

An average of 6 infants are found in dumpsters in Los Angeles every year.

Approximately 14,000 babies voluntarily given up for adoption in U S each year.

How do you know a Con is lying? His lips are moving.

You are talking about 3 different things. Children given up for adoption are not even part of the equation here, his comment was about the safe haven laws that allow a parent to drop a child off at designated locations without question. That is a total separate number form the adoption statistics. It is entirely possible he is wrong in his claims, but you are going to need to use different numbers to prove it.
 
Dumb ass is Los Angles the only city in California? Kat said Dumpster babies are more common in California

It's like comparing statistics in California with statistics nationwide! Or, comparing babies left at safe havens with babies put up for adoption.

Liberals can't tell the truth, they just can't. More unwanted babies are born nationwide than either dumped or given to a safe haven in California.

Nebraska is a safe haven state, people were coming there from around the country to dump off their kids.

They were going there because the Nebraska law allowed parents to dump off any child under 18. That was changed, and it was actually a total of less than 20 children were dropped off. The fact that 35 children were surrendered under that law the short period it was in force says more about the lack of human values in our culture than anything I can think of.

When did rights start including forcing other people to pay for medication?
 
Why? Because that's life. When you take risks with existing consequences, you don't get to act like you didn't have a choice. When you have sex there is the possibility you will get pregnant. We've made those possibilities pretty slim, but you still have to face the consequences. Here's a comparison. If the man and women have sex and she becomes pregnant and keeps the baby, why does the father have to pay child support if he favored an abortion? Why should a man, who tried to be responsible, be told he should be financially responsible for a baby he isn't ready for?

Pretty sexist when you use that logic.

Also, about your claim that a 12 wk old fetus doesn't feel pain. The only reports we have show that the thalamus and limbic systems account for most pain reception and are developed at week 17. The cerebral cortex accounts for higher order thinking and to act like that's responsible for pain reception is as moronic as saying animals don't feel pain (since most non-mammals don't have a cerebral cortex). We have proven that they feel pain at week 17, but we don't know if they feel it earlier. At week 12 a fetus responds to external stimuli, which is pretty strong evidence that they feel pain.

Men shouldn't be having sex, either, if they are not ready for the possible consequences.

Agreed. And that's the point I'm trying to make. When you take risks, there are consequences. Sometimes these consequences are undesirable.

It would appear that we're singing from the same score, then!

Where do leftists come up with the offensive notions that their favored type of birth control should be paid for by others? Where do leftists come up with the tripe that their employers should pay for whatever prescriptions they personally want because...well, they want it? Why do leftists insist on demonizing anyone who does not automatically support all of their whims and desires?

I am a woman who takes birth control, believes abortion should be legal, and believes strongly that rapists should be eligible for the death penalty and/or at a minimum significantly tougher penalties than they currently are facing...and that no one deserves to be raped, regardless of how stupid their behavior may be...

Yet somehow...I'M labeled the "ignorant" one because I think that if I am responsible enough to decide to have sex, I should be responsible enough to figure out how I'm going to pay for my birth control (especially if my health care provider doesn't cover it). I'm the "ignorant" one...because I don't feel that a religious organization should be forced to violate their constitutionally protected principles to pay for my abortion if I choose to have one. I'm the "ignorant" one because I feel that it isn't a bad thing to tell young women - "Hey...don't walk alone at night. Don't wander home drunk without a friend with you. Don't text while you walk - pay attention to your surroundings. These things will help you avoid rape."

Sorry, C_Clayton_Jones. There are ignorant people in this debate. But I'm not one of them. Its the misguided women in that video...whining about how they want to be responsible for their own bodies and lives while asking others to pay for their choices. They are little better than 15 year olds screeching about how they want to be treated like grown-ups...when their parents yell at them for the high phone bill that THEY pay. Either you are an adult - responsible enough to figure out how YOU will care for YOURSELF. Or you are a ward of the state...demanding that mommy and daddy...or big brother and big sister, pay for your birth control bills so you don't have to give up your monthly visits to Starbucks (or use the free condoms so readily available) to do so.

Yes, we are. It's difficult to adjust my tone through text. Most of my comment was directed at others.

Fuck Planned parenthood, tell them to beg for donations and keep their hands off

MY MONEY

Understand?

Ok, then we should implement a higher tax for right wingers since they voluntarily want to get rid of contraception which will drive up the cost of healthcare through abortions and medical coverage for that new kid of yours (and medical care for kids ain't cheap).

I don't mind this, as long those who don't want contraception take up financial responsibility. :thup:
 
That video is a complete embarrassment to female-kind.

How dare women make choices for themselves, even if it helps them and the taxpayers spend less money.

I'll agree that it helps them spend less money, but I am required to spend my money that I would better utilize some other way. So I'm missing the part where my paying for their choices is saving me one thin dime.

Well, if you don't want to spend that money but you are forced to, then your goal should be focused on minimizing the amount you have to pay, which happens to be that Contraception is the cheapest route.

This might be a completely novel concept for you but how about we make those desiring contraception, or not, be completely responsible for those decisions. That includes paying their own way.

The video isn't about women making choices for themselves. The video also isn't a about saving taxpayers money. It's about ugly and obnoxious women claiming they have a moral right to everyone else's money for things that are no one else's business.

OK, short words, simple sentences...it is not my responsibility to pay for the reproductive choices made by anybody else unless i am party to those choices. That would include contraception or to feed, house, or clothe the result of no contraception. If I agree to produce offspring, or to prevent issue, and am financially responsible for them, I will damned sure demand a say in how things will be handled. Where is my choice?

Where is my choice on the military budget that I help fund?
We all pay for things we don't agree with. I don't think we should have as many bases as we do all over the world, but my tax dollars go to funding them. Where is my choice?
Yeah, not a very good argument.

The military is one of the very few, specifically mandated Federal duties defined in the Constitution. Sorry, but your comparing apples and truck tires isn't going to cut it as a valid comparison, but by all means, carry on.

Is it the constitution we have multiple bases in countries like Germany and Japan? I also never stated I wanted to defund the military completely, FYI.
And I see my point went over your head.
Oh! And no federal funds go to abortions. If you want to bring up cover birth control, I see you didn't mention anything about not wanting to cover Viagra or penis pumps.

You can express your views that we should reduce the zillion bases we have spread around the world without anyone telling you that you have no right to object to those bases. Those feminist asswipes insist that no one has a right to object to how feminists want to spend other people's money.
