If you're so against abortions, I suggest that you never be involved in one. But you have absolutely zero right to say what anyone else does.

Why is it that Republicans, who always talk about the big, bad government intruding into people's lives, always seem to have something to say about...other people's lives?

And don't say it's about protecting a life. Because that's a lie. If protecting lives was sooo important to Republicans, who have controlled every branch of the U.S. government for going on five years, would there be genocide and famine in Africa? Would we support terrorists, excuse me, "freedom fighters," in South America? Would we systematically destroy the environment almost guaranteeing that future generations aren't going to live that long? Come on. The ball's been in your court for a while now and you guys are in complete control. No one is stopping you.

And don't say we can't control what happens in other countries either because I remember not too long ago when we thumbed our noses at the rest of the world and invaded Iraq because they had weapons of mass...umm, I mean, they were a threat to...umm, uhh, Saddam was bad to his own people.

It's religious zealotry, plain and simple. Republicans cannot stand the fact that not everyone subscribes to a Judeo-Christian ideology, so they come up with catchy phrases like "culture of life" to try and pit Americans against each other. Because after all, who can be against life? It's us bleeding-heart, tree-hugging, baby-killing liberals, right?

Last time I checked, we're the ones who want to make sure that kids get proper sex education so hopefully they won't be put in a bad situation like in the story you posted. We're the ones who want to make sure condoms are available to cut down on unwanted pregnancies (ie, abortions) and rates of STD transmission (some of those can kill ya). Christ, we're the ones who want to help poor people (the ones who disproportionally have most of the unwanted pregnancies in America) get out of poverty so this stuff stops happening. But no; God doesn't want that, huh?

Beyond that, we're the ones against the death-damn-penalty (while you guys want to execute retarded people, literally, and kids) and people being able to buy assault rifles. I mean, honestly. Who hunts with an uzi or an M-16? Hell, who hunts with a handgun? The only time anyone ever hears of those weapons, it's when somebody gets KILLED.

Culture of life my ass.

And by the way, no one is pro-abortion as the GOP likes to spout off over and over again. It's just that some of us are pro-CHOICE.
