nerdgirl 0 #51 January 25, 2009 Quote While I am pro-life I can not find it in myself to say that I should in any way (unless I am the father and that is a different thread) be able to tell a woman what she can or can not do with her baby and bodyIt is a sticky topic for me and I as of yet have been unable to resolve it with even myself. If I can not do it for myself how the hell can I ride the high horse? I am for family planning and education (and dont call me on the school positions as I am not changing those and it to is another thread) I dont even care if family planning gives abortion as an option (as sad as that is for me) But like you, I think the line should be drawn at the money. Thanks for the post And thanks for yours. As far as US federal funding, since 1983 the Hyde Amendment limits Medicaid funding for abortions only to cases of rape, incest, &/or life endangerment.

rushmc 23 #56 January 25, 2009 I will admit I was a bit taken back by this warning. Personal responsibilities and consequences for one’ actions is what I was trying to point out. However, after re-reading my post I see how it could easily be taken as a PA. So, to all here, I apologize."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

SpeedRacer 1 #57 January 26, 2009 wow. Isn't it sad in a way, that when liberals, conservatives, and others, finally agree on something in Speakers Corner, the thread sinks to the bottom? woopsy. I just bumped it up again. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
