Anti-Abortion Activists Here At the DU, Please Consider This [View All]

The advocacy of anti-abortion laws will result in the logical enforcement of those laws which will punish women and/or their doctors who participate in ending pregnancies.

Are you content with your advocacy for federal legislation to outlaw abortions knowing it will result in either forcing women through childbirth or in criminalizing them and/or their physicians?

Today in LBN we have this new story:

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A female bartender who refused to wear makeup at a Reno, Nevada, casino was not unfairly dismissed from her job, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.


Darlene Jespersen, who had worked for nearly 20 years at a Harrah's Entertainment Inc casino bar in Reno, Nevada, objected to the company's revised policy that required female bartenders, but not men, to wear makeup.

A previously much-praised employee, Jespersen was fired in 2000 after the firm instituted a "Beverage Department Image Transformation" program and she sued, alleging sex discrimination.

If a federal court will force women to paint their faces against their wishes to keep their jobs ---while men are not required to do so --- based on a single, flimsy and thirty year old ruling, do you actually think that crisp and clear and new federal laws prohibiting abortion won't be enforced?

I ask this question because of all the many threads here at the DU by "pro-life" advocates who are Democrats, I've never seen one, not one actually address this issue. It seems it is always skated around.

Will you be comfortable knowing your advocacy could force women through childbirth and/or put them in prison?
