Media Matters: Bush-nesia strikes again in smear against Obama, DOJ
How did media cover GOP's 2003 use of reconciliation? They didn't
Or comedy, fact checking, or truth telling!
• Forty-six percent of women who have abortions had not used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. Of these women, 33% had perceived themselves to be at low risk for pregnancy, 32% had had concerns about contraceptive methods, 26% had had unexpected sex and 1% had been forced to have sex.
• Eight percent of women who have abortions have never used a method of birth control; nonuse is greatest among those who are young, poor, black, Hispanic or less educated.
• About half of unintended pregnancies occur among the 11% of women who are at risk for unintended pregnancy but are not using contraceptives. Most of these women have practiced contraception in the past

Well -- if that's true, I would think Riverboat Bill "you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down" Bennett, and John "make more [white] babies 'cause in 25 years this country will be majority Hispanic" Gibson would be OVERJOYED . . .
Becky's right.
The real message was: "don't keep your kid -- he may grow up to play for Alabama":
Actually, I'm not really "glan" anything . . .
My mother is not "pro-life" (Anti-choice is what you are. Because nobody is "anti-life"). My mother is pro-choice and CHOSE to give birth to me.
For all the talk by conservatives about getting the government out of running our lives, you sure do want the state to be intimately and coercively involved in our most private decisions.
Everyone is pro-life. Some of us are also pro-choice, aka pro-freedom.
WOW! That was a smear!
Sean James and Al Joyner respond to the Tebow Super Bowl ad
While I did not care over the real reason as to why Focus on the Family wanted to show their commercial during the Super Bowl, which I think was a pure political move, but not illegal to do so. If Mrs. Tebow wanted to have her son. That is her CHOICE! Planned Parenthood's commercial was talking about letting women make their own decisions. Which is in the process of being oppressed by the reich-wing.
D@MN $HAME!
So, MC, let me ask you, then. Where do YOU draw the line? Conception? Do you oppose the right of a woman to use a morning-after pill? Does a zygote... an embryo that has yet to develop a brain and, therefor, lacks a human mind or even the most rudimentary level of human consciousness... have rights that supersede that of a woman to determine the conditions of her own existence?
And, no, it's really not about forcing any religious convictions upon somebody. You sound like Glenn Beck when you say stuff like that.
Also, abortions that are done late into a pregnancy are overwhelmingly done as the result of a nonviable fetus... one that is certain to quickly and miserably die as the result of the non-development of its brain and/or other vital organs. There is little sense in forcing an already grieving family to play out an emotionally-draining and financially ruinous scenario whose final outcome has already been determined by objective medical reality.
The other main reason for late-term abortions is when the delivery of that fetus is apt to result in the death of the mother, or at least will seriously compromise her health.
Either way, it is not for you or I to inject ourselves into another person's most intimate and horrifically painful of decisions, because, ultimately, it is neither you nor I who will have to live with the physical and emotional aftermath of that decision. You don't believe in abortion? Fine. Don't have one then. Just don't presume the right to impose your personal beliefs upon the lives of others.
I don't understand why it's ok to induce labor to abort a baby late term but delivering the baby could kill the mother.
"it is not for you or I to inject ourselves into another person's most intimate and horrifically painful of decisions"
Yeah, but it's ok for school officials to send one of our kids to an abortion clinic without our knowledge for this minor to endure this "most intimate and horrifically painful of decisions" all by themselves.
The pro abortion left got all worked up about the Tim Tebow
ad without even seeing it. It was harmless. If they hadn't made such a big deal over it nobody would have known what the message was! You people on the left have to lighten up.
What if I was to say "until some expert in the fields tells us otherwise, life begins at birth?"
