I'm surprised Republicans don't like abortion
Afterall, it means less people on welfare. Maybe that's the way to get them to back off the issue, tell them it will reduce welfare :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Abortion and NOLA. These freaks are disgusting.

11. How can ANYONE EVER forget what Bennett said...oh EXCEPT the
Mediawhores of course, yep, they've forgotten. Jaysus, the mediawhores tripped over each other to be the first to bail the motherfucker out of his comments.

The entire bunch of them are sick, well, they're beyond sick, they're just rabid.

2. william "book of virtues" bennett
came across the theory that abortion has had an effect on the crime rate, and it gave him pause... then he opened his mouth and inserted his foot.

8. Yeah, our crime rate would be lowered if Blacks were aborted
Edited on Sat Nov-05-05 09:26 PM by Erika
as Bennett says. He chose his words. He's responsible for them. Then there is the 8 mil he spent gambling. What a joke as someone who talks as if he has moral superiority. GOP: face Ugly, and that's what you are.

16. I wonder how many abortions the Bill Bennett's have been responsible for
I often wonder just HOW many Repukes mistresses have had to have abortions? Oh I bet it's...thousands...because they're SO fanatical on this issue.

It's the same with their fanatical stance on hating gays...it just tells you that there's got to be thousands of Repukes who are closet gay. I personally think that Rick Santorum and Ralph Reed are closet gay, I don't care that both are married with 6 kids or whatever, both of them are definately closet gays.

The abortion issue, the gay issue...they protest TOO much.

17. Both Ralph and Rick are hiding something
When you go out of your way to protest something like that so angrily, you're fighting your own demons.

21. A friend of mine who's gay
The FIRST time he saw Santorum on the TV he told me "Oh he's gay". He's been telling me that Ralph Reed is gay for years. This is just by looking at them.

Of course their frothing-at-the-mouth ranting over gays, is the giveaway to me. Heck, remember earlier in the year, during some stupid Senate debate on the sanctity of marriage, Santorum ranted for like FOUR HOURS about gays and he said something like: "If we allow gays to get married, then that will be the end of North American civilization"...and when he likened gay sex to having sex with dogs. God he is SICK.

Santorum and Reed = closet Queen's.

5. Nah they need the cheap labor
and the cannon fodder. Seriously, I've been saying for years that any true "conservative" should be in favor of abortion to reduce the strain on the earth's resources but I guess there aren't many true conservatives left.

6. You ain't got you haid right...
No abortions means no teenage sex!

No vaccine for cervical cancer means
no teenage sex!

No welfare, medicaid, or student loans means...
you guessed it.

Of course, no gay marriage might mean *more* teenage gay sex with adults, but don't tell them that.

19. They don't care
about Chinese fetuses, either:
http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=507

<snip>In a CNN interview on April 16, 2001, Robertson, the founder of the Christian Coalition and head of the Christian Broadcasting Network, was asked how he reconciles his support for close ties with China with Beijing's ruthless one-child policy, which has forced unwanted abortions on tens of millions of women.

"I don't agree with it," Robertson said. "But ... they've got 1.2 billion people, and they don't know what to do. If every family over there was allowed to have three or four children, the population would be completely unsustainable.... They're doing what they have to do." <snip>

<snip>There is a reason Robertson is so mealymouthed: He has invested millions of dollars in Chinese cable and internet operations. His partner in one broadcasting deal is the communist government itself. To protect his financial interests, He depends the regime's goodwill, and to win it, he is apparently willing to say anything -- even to defend China's savage destruction of reproductive freedom.

It is a myth that China is too crowded; its population density is one-fifth that of Taiwan, one-200th that of Manhattan. China suffers not from too many people but from too little liberty. If Robertson doesn't understand that, his ignorance is shocking. If he does, he is a contemptible hypocrite. Either way, he is a disgrace, and conservatives should be the ones to say so.<snip>

13. It's easier to starve them to death after being born, that way, they
can feign responsibility and call us Liberals, "baby killers" when in fact the opposite is true. Ouch, repukes make my head hurt! :hurts: If it weren't abortion, it would be something else. What the rank and file, 'one paycheck away from the poor house' pubs don't seem to grasp, is that their Leaders couldn't care less about them! They keep 'em in the dark and feed 'em shit and call it 'democracy'! :rofl: And the morans eat it up!

22. Don't worry, they would be as quiet as the grass if
it were only the poor who got abortions. Waht they are angry about is that their own babes can now get an abortion so easily.

25. Actually, I happen to know that they like them fine.
When I was young, Female Relative's rich oil millionaire monster boyfriend arranged for Female Relative to obtain a certain procedure in San Francisco, at the same time he was decrying abortion. The heighth of hyprocrisy. But we couldn't have him publicly embarassed if an infant came into the world later outside of marriage - now could we!

26. This may be too crass for some so I won't put it in the subject line....
They don't even care about the fetus until it's in the dumpster.
