Of course, that is not at ALL what I said. Look up the word CHOICE before you go all crazy on me. I don’t understand WHY making a choice on if you would or would not have an abortion means you are a bigot or a racist.
Their healthcare is a life-ending proposition, so she needn’t worry herself too much about it.
When I read comments about concerns if Trump resigns or is impeached, then we’d be be stuck with Pence and a Christo-fascist administration, I can never figure out if it’s a form of trolling, or simply people who haven’t thought things through. Because we have that now with Trump, too.

And this itself is based on a willful misinterpretation. Onan wasn’t killed for “spilling the seed”, it was for disobeying God’s law that requires a man to impregnate his brother’s widow if they don’t have any heirs. He felt that fucking his brother’s wife (while he was still married to his own) was wrong. His real crime was putting his own morality above God’s.
Of course, since many Christians would agree with him on the merits of widowed-sister-in-law-fucking, they tend to ignore that part.

Don’t forget that it causes sex-hysteria, which in turn creates the very real threat of making men who take Viagra into pedophiles, rapists, homosexuals, and animal-sexers. These unnatural erections force these men into helpless, sex-obsessive states. It needs to be stopped, but our government insists on socialist healthcare.

THANK YOU!
Every time one of Clinton’s intolerant and obsessive acolytes inserts one of these off-topic rants into a discussion, I feel despair for the Democratic party and progressive politics. Besides being clueless, such interjections are politically idiotic.
The amount of vitriol still being vented by some commenters on this site six months after the election towards anyone who doesn’t share their exact political orientation is frankly bizarre.
They are every bit as bad as the few Bernie dead-enders I’m acquainted with.
PS - I was a Bernie supporter who, like you, voted Clinton in November (most of us did!)

Not possible.
Ivanka has told us that her daddy respects and cares about women, and he is receptive to her input on women’s issues.

Agreed. You know how you can tell FOR SURE that it’s more about punishing women, than reducing abortion?
-
Because they focus their efforts on forcing women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term…
-
And they actively de-fund programs (Planned Parenthood & Affordable Care Act) which offer contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place. And, you know, this would be COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE if your goal was really to prevent abortions…

Trump is a raging narcissist and obviously very insecure. Look at his incessant relitigation of the election. He doesn’t care about people other than what they can do for him. His wives were & are “arm candy”. He said at one point in an article I read that he likes to have beautiful women around him because it gives him a one-up on other men who do not have beautiful wives or girlfriends. He is an immature jerk.

I just don’t like the sanctimonious “pro-life” label as if those of us who think women should have a choice without a ton of condemnation being heaped on them if they make the “wrong” choice are anti-life. As someone pointed out in the thread above,sexually active women “abort” fertilized eggs – “people” according to extremists, probably a number of times over the years that they menstruate. They certainly shed eggs (potential life) a number of times. I’ve always been bemused over the fixation the Christian right has on eggs, blastocysts and embryos but seem to lose interest when it is a fully developed baby or child that needs food, clothing and nurturing in a healthy family.
I also have a big problem with insisting a woman go through a pregnancy (not a picnic) so someone else can adopt the baby. That should only happen via mutual agreement.

Last year we were in a state of high anxiety about getting exactly what we are enjoying now. I liked many of Bernie’s ideas but the fact is he ran too long insisting he had a chance to win when he didn’t. That damaged Hillary.

I’ve said and written this many times. If you’re looking for the motivation that drives the pro-life movement, look no further than an abject fear that white America will be overtaken by black and brown America. It is racial tribalism that drives these people to demand an end to abortion and contraception. If the motivation were human life in general, they would not be opposing contraception, nor would they be championing American wars that kill tens of thousands of non-Caucasians.
