(53,235 posts)had an abortion (I know, heteroworld and not religious and abortion is but a small part of PP). Anyway, women still get abortions, but do they tell their husbands/boyfriends about it? Maybe not so much now. In the seventies, an abortion was a good thing, but now it's been twisted into a bad thing.
I'll bet conservative women get their abortions today and *still* root for the freedumb-libertea-makeMerkabetter candidate. It's important to please one's gun-loving, fix-it-with-a-fight male partner. The alternate could be deadly.

(63,912 posts)would be out with their signs and pics of aborted babies, and they'd be yelling at the women going into the clinic, then they'd show up themselves for their "problem." They would say "But in my case, it's different..."

(700 posts)And I love how the pundits after the debate last night were ALL saying how well Carly did and how Trump looked tired. Geez, I hated everyone on the stage and even those at the childrens table.
I even noticed Jeb has a smirk like his brother!
Well see if polls reflect how the pundits called it.
American politics is a sorry state of affairs. We start so damn early, it takes lots of cash and we all look for gotchas to say see, I told you so!
Part of me and forgive me for this hopes Trump wins the Repub nomination just to stick it to the Bushes, Walkers and Christies of the world. And then I hope the Dem nomination kicks his ass from one of his casinos to another!

(15,222 posts)The candidates, including Fiorina, are not interested in facts and real information. They are interested in enflaming their bases and will use whatever nonsense they can find to do just that.
I realize I'm preaching to the choir here, but as a woman myself, I find it particularly offensive that this shit last night came from a woman!

The videos that have stirred up so much trouble for Planned Parenthood dont show what @CarlyFiorina claims http://politi.co/1QHiHS0
NO, PLANNED PARENTHOOD VIDEOS DONT SHOW A FETUS HEART STILL BEATING
Carly Fiorina: I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.
The videos that have stirred up so much trouble for Planned Parenthood dont show what Fiorina claims.
An anti-abortion group, the Center for Medical Progress, has released several videos alleging that the womens health organization illegally profits from fetal tissue sales. In one video, a former employee of the fetal tissue procurement company StemExpress which, until recently, worked with Planned Parenthood alleges that she saw an aborted fetus heart beat after a clinician tapped its heart.
That video relies solely on the interview and does not include footage to support her claims.
The groups undercover videos do show specimens of fetal tissue in some Planned Parenthood clinics, but at no point do they include footage of an entire aborted fetus.

(18,318 posts)No secret about this. Democrats, as constituted now, have been afraid to respond, so they fashion a non-ideological non-response, hoping they won't be tagged by the RW again, or to run afoul of their corporate backers. The objective of the RW is to make liberalprogressivedemocrats look weak and undecided. In this milieu, the RW can call you anything they want, and MSM WILL not contremand the RW; in a real sense, it's not their job (esp. in their weakened state) to do this. If one side wants to remain a punching bag, so be it. This, in accordance with Newt a quarter century ago.
Fiorina has learned this well: Talk the same hard talk which appeals to the FR, and expect little static, esp. with the right to choose. Pretty EZ.
