This should have been settled decades ago. Depriving a woman of reproductive freedom is denying equal opportunity. Are we really back to "barefoot and pregnant" mentality?
Some people are so sanctimonious about other people's morals they forget that it's unjust to kill people in an unjust war.
And why don't they resolve the tragic problem of American children that go to bed hungry? Wouldn't their moralistic stance be better served by protecting children we have rather than ones we don't?
Yes, abortion should be rare, but it should even more be safe and legal.
Wow,
Taking the rights of women? You are right. Better get a gas mask because this will certainly be a war in that state!
Well said, Kit.
ahem. ahem.
? getting sanctimonious about other people's morals? and those that are corrupt have the power to do so? do this to women?
God Save Us, we're back at the coat hangers...
... hello we have Corruption in the White House, Administration, Congress and the Presidential Line of Succession...
ahem ...? who's backing this jackass from SD in the White House, in the Oval, in the Administration?
Its the linchpin the far-right has been looking for .. that churlish Ralph Reed, who's best buddy is Abramoff and Delay.. he backing this Governor ..
as we all know, you always, always have a
WING MAN. Who is the WING MAN here?
So many uneccessary deaths before women gotten their rights and now more deaths to come. When will we learn? Women rights are part of the makeup for civil rights. And now we return to history where all rights of the American people will be taken away. A woman has a right to her body her choice and that again women will have to fight for. I am glad to see that Fitz you truly understand the rights of women.
You are right. We are slowly going back in history. All the struggles for equal rights, women rights, gay rights, disability rights, rights for immigrants in this country etc. that people have fought for will all go for nothing if we revert back. What a shame that the Bush Administration would chip away those rights of American citizens. We lost a pioneer such as Coretta Scott King? What would she say about this?
You are right Kit, Jackie, and 6 miles. Depriving and dictating any human being's freedom, opportunity, and rights of race, creed, and religion in this country is not right. Those priniciples are what made United States.
Last comments: People need to read and understand the Declaration of Independence and what is means. People have taken for granted the sacrifice of the Founding Fathers that they had to face and endure to write the Declaration of Independence. It is wasn't for the Founding Fathers who wrote the Declaration of Independence, none of us on the blog would not have the freedom, opportunities, and rights as U.S. citizens. When people understand and realize what the Declaration of Independence stood for, then people will realize what freedoms are being taken away from them. If not, than we will become the countries that Bush is demanding they become democratic!
This is timely with the S.C's ruling last week that right to life groups are no longer to be prosecuted under RICO.
Think of this event in S. Dakota as similar in strategy to Pat Robertson's grass roots efforts after his failed comical WH run 2 decades ago. The election of many his type into school boards and local civic positions had a profound effect that snowballed into the Christians Rights strong affectations felt today.
It's a similar whittling away process on this issue in SD now too.
A case in point to the above:
Tom Feeney, US House FL, while still in the FL House as Speaker presented a bill to create a data base of all FL women who have had an abortion or who had sought one.
Needless to say it did not go down well on that one but this shows the audacity of these types and their considerations for privacy rights.
A choir boy of the Christian Right and a growing star tied closely with Jack Abramoff also.

It’s not just about women’s right but about the unwanted kids.
Those people are hypocrites, they fuss about the wellbeing of the unborn but once the children are born, unwanted, unloved they’re deserted by the very same people who advocated their right to live. It’s like saying: We helped you into this world now it’s up to you to survive foster homes, poverty, abuse, poor education…it’s up to you to proof evolutions law of the right for the fittest to survive.
Governments need to take better care of the kids that are here already and give them a fair chance and support single mothers, maybe than fewer women would actually resort to abortion.

well said. . . seems to me, this Administration has been working 'overtime' to cut benefits to those most in need and
need I say it?
K A T R I N A
their handling of those in dire need is nothing short of absolute vileness
I agree with Kit but we are not back to the "barefoot and pregnant" mentality. How many of us have known women who have gone thru an abortion without experiencing the psychological ramifications of their actions? There is a huge problem in our country of unwanted children. I saw a BBC documentary on Mother Teresa who was interviewed in an orphanage in Calcutta. The journalist wanted to know her opinion on unwanted pregnancies. She held up a baby in her arms and responded "what are you afraid of?".
Well said. Women need to take charge of their reproductive health by not getting themselves into a potential situation that an unwanted pregnancy may occur to begin with. Then their would be no abortion fight at all if women (most) would be more responsible. They need to rely more on themselves than that of their partner (this of course not counting victims of sexual assaults, etc).
And their are alot of good couples (and even single people) who would be great parents and would love to adopt a child but cannot due to strict adoption laws (thus why they go international on adoption).

I vehemently disagree.
You need a license to drive a car, you need to be licensed to be a plumber...
any one can be a parent.
does not mean they will be a good one.
not every one is 'good in the heart' as we've seen from the very actions in the Oval on KATRINA.
Men and women BOTH SHARE responsibility. To say its the
women's sole responsibility, you most certainly have taken us back to
Barefoot and Pregnant.
How many of us have known women who have gone thru an abortion without experiencing the psychological ramifications of their actions?
I know more who are relived than not. The ones who have long term problems are far and few between and usually had a few problems to begin with. Sorry, but its the truth.
Since only the womans life is directly and immediatly effected, she and only she should have the final say.
As someone who has worked with juveniles, I can tell you prisons are filled with the unwanted, begated by the unwanted.
I say take care of the ones already breathing air first and make birth control readily available for all.
maybe we should all be happy that the abortion issue never applied directly to us. Otherwise we wouldn't be here today.
Question ..Do you think their brood will fly anywhere in the world they need to go for an abortion if they need one?
E,
Interesting as I was just thinking of a family friend who was a very active and vocal member of the right to life protest crowd...until she had her own abortion of convenience...reality is often harsh.
Ladies this matter is one that is an private matter between you and God. I'm just afraid that women will die because they are scared. Most of our laws change when important people have that problem with their children. In time we will here of elected officials who send their daughter to Canada or overseas for an abortion. Only girls who don't have money. We will here about who's daughter went to Canada for a safe abortion while thousands of girls here in the US die. All have to answer for all sins but we must still have a choice.
I don't think it should ever be birth control, only that birth control be made readily accessible making as Clinton used to say, "safe and rare".
Every child a wanted child-that is a true gift a parent can give their baby. p
To Jackie and Anon 10:12 pm.
Well said.
What about the fact you can't even have an abortion if you are raped?
As a parent and woman no sir I do not want a child like this -
That is "my choice"..
Also I watched a show about adoption last evening - and the impact it has on the "birth mother"..
Well - the choice should never be taken away.
Harder restrictions sure.. wait periods, sure, consent, sure.. abolished? no..
Blue Wild I agree people in this country have a small memory.
So what that the people who attacked us on 9/11 were funded with Arab, Oil money.
Not Iraq, every detail about this President is crazy and he gets away with things every single day, and we "forget".
Take us back some years ago when the States decided this issue in their terrain. A man could earn enough to support a wife at home with the children. Now the woman can if she chooses abort the child and earn enough to equal together what they used to earn.
Gloria Steinem founded MS Magazine with funds from the CIA, just Google that if you think that is outrageous and weed out the red herring sites.
The objective was to break up the family and produce an exaggerated adversarial assumption about regular families. We have been fed the line that all men behave such and such, and all women are "victims." Naturally the outgrowth of this is the "benevolent State," a myth which serves no one.
As to abortion, what do I think? I do not think it is a good idea, as people seem to go overboard with it. We are missing 50 million kids you know, and who can really say they were all "unwanted?"
Excuse me for all this compassion, go have your "free choice," all you want, and when the courts decide, I am sure it will continue the mess we have here, one way or another. You know if it is really choice, you can keep the kid can you not?
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it
