I fear for my rights as a woman under this president and administration. One by one, I fear I will have nothing left of my rights as a woman or as a human being. The events that took place earlier today sadden and depress me, and to say the least, I am mad, mad, mad. I realize some people may agree with what was done, therefore disagreeing with me, and I can only respect their personal feelings as I hope they would respect mine.

Actually, this law DOES allow for partial birth abortions if the mother has a serious heatlh risk. Of course, the Democratic party likes to try to leave this fact out so they can make Bush out to be some right-winged religious fanatic (when actually he's one of the most moderate presidents we've ever had).
Also, no Republican administration would try to outlaw 1st trimester abortions. Firt, abortion is supported by 75% of the voting population, and second, the GOP recognizes the benefits of abortion vs. welfare. The GOP doesn't believe in spending tax dollars on handouts- so when faced with the lesser of two evils.....
Just my 2 cents.

replying to the person who claims that the law allows for final-trimester abortions if the mother's life is at risk: no it doesn't. You haven't read the law. I have. This is why it's going to be tossed out on it's ear in court.

Typical anti-choice response: accuse without substantiation, judge without facts. If George Bush is a moderate, I'm a french poodle. I've been alive since the Kennedy administration, and I know what I'm talking about: there are Republicans, and there are Wingnuts. Dumbya is a wingnut, with the accent on NUT. He and his adminstration's disconnect from reality is just breathtaking to behold -- so much so that even his OWN defense secretary (and fellow wingnut) Rumsfeld questions it.

The GOP doesn't believe in spending tax dollars on handouts, that's certainly true -- they really don't have any to give after handing it all to their fat-cat special-interest friends like Halliburton in the form of sweetheart no-bid contracts and tax cuts that give millionaires like Dick Cheney an $83,000 refund he otherwise wouldn't have gotten.

I hope someday you'll realise that Faux News HAS BEEN LYING TO YOU.
