    Huh. You think this thing is going to be over tonight. talking heads and the like will have plenty of time to get their point across. And I guess you didn't see Schumer and Leahy within 30 seconds of the nomination. Looked quite prepared to me. Cmon, the need to just take this to an extreme so fast is sad.

    Good thing you're not a woman or a minority, then. I'm glad you're relaxed. That improves things.

    Boy, I wish the back alley abortion and dumped post-birth babies were a myth, I really do.
    Who is saying she dies here FCB? It's easy going to the extreme to laud your arguement's merits, but that's not where the truth lies. It is not a myth that mothers resorted to extreme measures to end their pregnancies, but it's not the picture that is painted by you and others of an endless factory of death in the nation's streets because abortion was illegal. Uneducated people make mistakes all the time, and saying their lack of education should be covered by a statute that allows them to kill a growing baby. No, not right.

    Due to the very sensitive and emotional nature of this subject, please be respectful of others' opinions and responses.

    Please don't play a part in setting a new redszone record for getting a political thread locked in the shortest time.

    All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

    But for the life of me, I can't figure out how people get pregnant if they don't want to be pregnant. (Not counting rape and incest, of course)

    There are zillions of ways not to get pregnant. And I'm not even counting abstinence as one of the zillions. I didn't get pregnant in the 70's, 80's and early 90's cause I didn't want to be pregnant. Pills. Patches. Shots. IUDs. Diaphragms. Sponges. Condoms. Spermicidals. And more.

    Okay, that's all. Back to your arguing.
    Yeah, and all those methods cost money. And their use isn't effectively taught in schools. And girls as young as 11-12 get pregnant...all the time. I see it all...the...time.

    I don't know 'bout you, but I don't see an 11 year old having the presence of mind to stop mid-stride and break out the diaphragm from the dresser. Maybe that's just me.

    No, I didn't see Scumer and Leahy. They weren't on "liberal" MSNBC.

    You aren't aware of how first impression on how news events are reported impact the viewing audience?

    Then take a pill or get a shot (that lasts 3 months).

    There are plently of places that supply free birth contol to anyone who walks in the door. I spent 8 years working in psych and social services, I sent lots of girls and women to PP and clinics for birth control.
    Will trade this space for a #1 starter.

    I bet you didn't work in neighborhoods like the ones I work in. Girls that don't know what cable television is or the name of the city's sports teams, girls with severe mental and emotional handicaps. Conjure the worst possible circumstances in your mind, then heap pregnancy on top. That's what I'm talking about.

    And birth control pills and shots are just as bad as abortion in some people's minds. They believe that is murder also.

    Sigh, I wonder if I'll ever see the day when men take some responsibility - it's always seem to be up to the female . Hasn't there been any progress on birth control for men?

    Yep. They want TOTAL control of a woman's right to choose and her access to contraception.

    The culture of life. Women need not apply. But what's messed up is the number of women betraying other women by supporting these laws that control the biological and economic destinies of women.

    I think I have a right to speak out against something that affects the women and girls in my life that I love.

    And I think the issue of abortion is germane to a discussion of the next possible Supreme Court nominee.
