Right on patty, hot and poopoo! Great
points!!! Hey maybe "forced maternity"
says it well also. I agree about the
coverage of the republican
convention--it's seriously scary. The
nation.Com and alternet.Org are great for
more liberal, accurate, news rather than
that crap from the tv media companies
bloated with george's dirty money.
Dave, two words: critical thinking. You
really need to open your mind. Try not
reiterating all the caca that the fat cat
republicans are shoveling you. And who
told me, word for word, "we shoot anything
that moves over there"? And "the civilian
death rates are seriously under-reported
to the west"??? Who told me that? Only
the clean cut americn soldiers themselves
who i've known their entire lives. Does
that correspond with your omnipotent
truth?? Things are more complex than
good, evil, right wrong, freedom.
Freedom, what about freedom in this
country?? 50 million people don't have
health care. 40 million are living below
the poverty line.

If you consider the fetus to be part of
the woman's body, at what point does it
become its own body? Until the umbilical
cord is detatched?
You said: "you named two women in office.
Do you really think that means it is
still not male dominated? Whatever."
i said earlier: "there are much more women
'in power' than there ever were before,
and there is plenty of opportunity for
women who would like to."
"i have no delusions that men still don't
dominate many aspects of society. My
point is there is nothing holding women
back in the us if they so choose to enter
those fields."
you said: "that truly is one of the
silliest things I have ever heard in my
life."
what are you refering to?
"it doesn't matter if you hate the act of
abortion or the women who do it because
bottom line if you take it away that is
just one more right to take away from
women."
i don't call for a complete ban, i'm just
calling for some protections for the
unborn human, and am asking tough
questions about the validity of abortion's
current legal status. What rights have
we taken away from women?
"enough with this senior citizen prolife
crap."
what are you talking about?

Until there are more protections for the
*born* human, protection for the unborn is
fatuous.

Well, mr. Quote man if you would actually
read my post then you would know what I
meant.
Secondly, yes, women are held back! We
cannot just go and get into office! What
world are you living in? Honey, I am sure
if it were that easy then this wouldn't be
a male dominated society anymore. You
really need to educate yourself in this
matter before trying to debate with us
about it.
How can you not consider a fetus part of
the women's body? It is made up of all
of her parts and dependent on her. Just
like a cyst or a tumor. I don't mean to
sound ignorant, because pregnancy can be a
beautiful thing, but come on now and
actually think about this.
The fetus becomes its "own body" (as you
put it) when it is legally a human being.
After it is born and breathing on its
own.

Yeah, there are plenty of women in office
then before....There a couple now where
there were none before. I would
definately not say "plenty"
plenty of opportunity for women
who.....Whatever you said.....Whatever.
Yeah, there is room for us where the men
make room. Usually they just make room
to try to make it look like they are
actually letting women have a say in what
goes on.
We have a long, long way to go before it
is even slightly equal and if you don't
believe that then try being a woman for a
day. Try being a woman pregnant from
rape who cannot have an abortion because a
man tells her that she cannot.

I
never thought about the pro-life tag being

would never consider having an abortion
lightly and would do so if that were the
best choice for me at the time.Patty

Ha ha, i'm flattered, but I have nothing
else to say with regards to the direction
this thread is going in. I've said what
I said on that matter and I have nothing
else to add. I don't twist things around
as you seem to imply and I do read your
entire post when I respond to it.
If you have any specific questions you'd
like to post, i'd gladly respond to them
directly.

i love it when women who
talk of abortion talk of having "control
over our own bodies". If you would have
as much control over your own bodies as
you say you do you probably wouldn't be
pregnant and need an abortion in the first
place because you would've either 1.
Popped a birth control pill in your mouth
2. Said no to sex and kept your legs
crossed 3. Had your tubes tied if you
decided you never wanted children or
didn't want any more or 4. Made your man
wear a rubber before he did his thing.
I'm willing to bet many of the women who
choose to terminate their pregnancies got
pregnant as a result of failure to take
the responsibility to prevent the
pregnancy from happening in the first
place. So next time you prochoicers talk
about women having so much control over
their bodies, remind them of how they have
the control to take the responsibility to
prevent unwanted pregnancies from
happening in the first place! By the way,
all you prochoicers check out http://www.Lizmichael.Co
m/abortion/htm. Some of the pictures
of abortions are late term, but a few are
first trimester abortions. It's enough to
make you vomit and make even the toughest
prochoicers turn into prolifers. Cheers
and sweet dreams.

Ahh does someone have their little panties
in a knot?? Come here and let mommy make
it better. You are total a s s w I p e.
Did you get that? I said a s s wi p e.
Guess what I had an abortion and I love
sex. I mean I would love sex more if men
knew what to do with their little weenies
by trying to use their little brains.
Listen up small dick and listen good.
Women will always have abortions and have
sex because it is our power to give life
and take it. Not men's. Now i'm sure
you're some kind of bible beating health
questions so I will use small words so you
can understand.
Sit down and shut up. You're backwoods
opinions are nothing-nobody cares or is
listening. Birth, creation is a woman's
power.
Nighty night.

Is Samie Back? Posted: 10-10-04 13:30pm
The way tubby talks, reminds me somewhat
of samie! A guy wanting to be a girl!
I have read over some of tubby's posts.
Tubby, no one will listen to someone like
you, some one that is having sex or has
had an abortion that you label as a
"prostitute" and you really do have a
disgusting potty mouth!
You really sound young, immature and you
sound as though you have not experienced
alot in life, you really sound as though
you have a very closed mind and if people
do not go along with what you have to say
that you get mad, this is how samie
acted.
Sincerely,
sandy

Why does everyone have such a hard time
believing that a female can be against
abortion, be against promiscious,
irresponsible sex, and not be a "i am
woman hear me roar!" women's liber?
Ladies, it isn't that hard to clean up
your act, be responsible, and not use
abortion as a form of birth control. I'm
immature? Well, I think that every woman
who chooses abortion is immature. Why is
that? Because she is using abortion as a
way to run away from responsibility and
the reality that what you do in life has
consequences. Yes, consequences, ladies.
A big part of being a responsible, mature,
woman is not being promiscious and not
using abortion as a way of erasing a
"mistake" out of your mind. That little
life inside of a woman has rights too, you
know, even though you women don't want to
believe it because you want to choose to
abort because that is the easy way out of
taking responsibility for our actions,
isn't it? Wouldn't it be nice if
everything in life could be like abortion,
ladies? If we could just throw away our
bills and magically not have the bill
collectors come after us. Then you ladies
wouldn't have to be responsible and
actually hold down a steady job. Wouldn't
it be nice if the kids you ladies don't
abort could come out of the womb being 18
so you would have the right to kick them
out and not have to support them? Out of
sight, out of mind mentality. That is
what abortion is. And once again, babies
don't make themselves, why should they be
punished for it with abortion? You women
don't want to listen to me rant about how
wrong and irresponsible abortion is
because the right to abort gives you the
right to continue to do whatever you want
and not have to be held responsible for
it. And ladies, admit it, you really
don't want any responsibilities in your
life, do you?

Dear tubby,you are making assumptions
about me that are way off base.I am not a
prostitute.I have been in a monogomous
relationship for over 11 years.Can you say
the same??I am not avoiding any
responsibility.I faithfully use birth
control so I do not have to have an
abortion.If I did want an abortion,i would
like to know that I could have one
performed by a qualified doctor in a
sterile environment,not in some guy's
kitchen with unsterile conditions.You are
not helping your anti-abortion agenda by
calling any woman who is pro-choice a
prostitute or any of the other names.Patty

Women like annifant are the ones that make
me angry. I'm sorry if I offended you
patty, but someone like annifant really
makes me go off when they just want to rub
my face in the fact that they are going to
have sex as they please and have abortions
as they please and simply accuse me of
being holier than thou or worse, ignorant.
Sex isn't wrong when it is used in the
right way. Of course, we need sex to
reproduce! I'm saying that women are
hurting themselves by using sex in the
wrong way-by being promiscious and using
it as entertainment when they aren't
creative enough to entertain their date in
any other way. I'm also directing my
anger at women who use abortion as birth
control, and yes I am biased because i'm
prolife, but I also think certain
individuals would benefit by trying to see
things from my prospective. I will never
be able to stop women from having
abortions and will never turn everyone
prolife, but if I can make a few women
stop and think about the way they conduct
their lives, I feel as though I could save
them from some of the pain and suffering
they are going to endure by making wrong
choices. Perhaps I come off as being
harsh sometimes, but those of you who want
to disagree with me don't spare my
feelings either! And sometimes I do get
provoked by people such as annifant. I
commend you for being responsible, patty,
and not being promiscious and careless
with contraception like some women, and
although I don't agree with your prochoice
stance, you are taking the necessary
measures to avoid an abortion, which is a
positive thing.

I do not see abortion as a means of
contraception and do not view those that
do favorably.Having or not having a child
is a very personal matter and just because
a woman is capable of bearing children
does not make her a good parent,it just
makes her fertile!I will not try to change
anyone's mind about being pro-choice,so
please do not try to change mine!!!Patty

Patty, i'm not saying that just because a
woman decides to have the baby and raise
it means that she is a wonderful parent.
There are women out there who beat and
mistreat their kids, and therefore have no
business being a parent. I'm not trying
to demand any woman who reads my post
change her views about being prolife or
prochoice, i'm just trying to provoke
thought by those who may be on the fence.
Patty, did you ever know a woman who had
an abortion and dearly regretted it later?
Heavens, some women feel so guilty over
having one they end up committing suicide.
Not every woman who has an abortion ends
up being ok with it. Some women can go on
with their lives and not really have it
affect them that much and some women have
a great deal of emotional fallout from it.
You don't always know the circumstances
surrounding an abortion either. Maybe the
woman was young and scared, unable to
support the child financially and made a
hasty decision. In those cases you don't
know how it's going to effect her one
month, two months, three months, or even
five, ten years down the road. Not every
woman ponders her choice to have an
abortion for hours on end and ends up
being confident with her choice. Some
women even face enormous pressure from
boyfriends, family, even friends to abort
and they are the ones who have to deal
with the emotional fallout of it. That is
what I am talking about when I say I want
to provoke thought in women.

Women can get pregnant after having their
tubes tied, being on b/c pill, after
getting an iud.
You were saying that sex is about
re-producing, I am 52 y/o I have had a
complete hysterectomy, I am married, I
have sex and I am definitely not trying to
re-produce, I am not a prostitute! I have
not had an abortion, but I am pro-choice,
I have to go help get these children out
of these homes that are not fed, cleaned
and that are sexually molested that should
have been aborted because we can not turn
them around and they end up having
physical and mental scarring and some do
not get helped!
You were talking about going back to the
days of the abortion clinics being filthy
and the women getting infections and
dieing, hello, this does happen in birth
too!
Try a reality check!
Sincerely,
sandy

You were saying that some women regret
having abortions, what about some women
that regret having the baby's and would
not think of putting them up for adoption,
they just tell them selves that they have
to live with their mistakes and they are
miserable and they make the child
miserable, that is no way to do it
either!
