If a twelve-week-old fetus is a âhuman life,â why isnât Franks introducing legislation requiring all police departments to investigate each and every miscarriage? How do they know that the miscarriage wasnât the result of intentional maternal negligence, and therefore murder? Why isnât Franks introducing legislation requiring parents who have experienced a miscarriage to have an official funeral? Why arenât newspapers required to carry the obituaries of all miscarriages?

GOP are the ones who have no respect at all for human life.When you look at the actions of the GOP then you see a pattern of cold hearts , greed, bigotry/racism, and homophobic behavior.Plus you get to see how they do not give one shit about the future and do all they can to stop any global warming platforms.
GOP = HORRIBLE & COLD PEOPLE.

When an elected Congressman is almost as crazy as the shooter heâs commenting on, we have a problem.

So what heâs saying is that Dearâs actions were entirely appropriate. There was just some unfortunate collateral damage.
Unbelievable.

Now the right-wingers donât even pretend to be saddened when the crazies follow through on their violent rhetoric. Itâs just like the Muslims in New Jersey cheering on 9/11. Except they exist.

The GOP has a point:
-
Cecile Richards calls for â2nd Amendment remediesâ to shut down fertility clinics and ophanages.
-
Members chant âDeath to preemies!â and burn little knitted booties at christenings.
-
The Board demands mandatory mammograms for all men, women, children, and pets.
Clearly, both sides are to blame.

âWhat this person did was evil, and it should remind us all of the common denominator that Planned Parenthood has with individuals like this who have no respect for innocent human life,â Franks said, according to The Hill.
Except that PP has saved many more lives than abortions theyâve performed. Only three percent of their business is abortion, and the rest is STD/STI treatment, family planning, basic womenâs reproductive services, and cancer screening and prevention. They do FIVE times as much cancer screening and prevention than abortions and over 11 times more contraception (the thing that prevents women from needing abortions) than abortions. These are facts no matter how deeply Franks wants to deny them.

He should go a step further, ala Brown Santorum, and require the family bring the clump of cells or whatever-formed fetus it is home and get into bed with it. That would prove to the Christo-Sharia Brown Shirts (two kinds of brown, there) the never-born was indeed wanted.

These facts are so important to the larger debate. An attack on Planned Parenthood is really an attack on the concept of women having access to low-cost global OB/GYN and family-planning services. Hell, they even serve men (though, very minimally). First and foremost, PP is all about women taking care of themselves, taking charge of their health. Reproduction is so vitally important an aspect to overall healthcare for women. This needs to be screamed from the rooftops.
Why in the hell does the GOP hate women so much? â And why do so many GOP women?

Wow! Talk about false equivalency- literally! And, yes, what about his ârespectâ for the sanctity of life and the death penalty, especially when applied to people whom were wrongfully convicted?

The only difference between Rep. Trent Franks and Robert Lewis Dear is that Dear killed people directly, Rep Franks is trying to kill people, specifically women, through legislation. Franks and Dear are of the same cloth and are made from the same uneducated, divisive and sexist-based rhetoric.

This is âpro-lifeâ respect for life: require the woman to risk death so that the fetus dies inside instead of outside of her. In the case of Savita halppanavar this practice killed her.

Because taking away healthcare for millions of women and children is SOOOO REPUBLICAN âRESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFEâ!
This is the GOP meme theyâve decided on; CO rep POS JoAnn Windholz went further; she says its ALL PPâS FAULT!
Republicans ARE Americaâs largest hate group. By far.

And after a baby is born they donât give a hoot about whether or not that child has a loving home, a good education, adequate shelter and food and care. What about the life of those that are living? What about the life of the mother? She doesnât count? She is a living breathing human being on this earth but to these forced birthers she is just an incubator. All life isnât sacred at all.
Oh and btw, itâs not life. It isnât life until it can live on itâs own outside the mother. Itâs a clump of cells, blastocyst or embryo that has the potential to be born if all goes well. Potential is not independent life.
