I agree, and you have no right to force people to include them in the healthcare insurance they provide.

Why should pro-lifers want to contribute to something that is proven to lower abortion rates?

Please explain what you gained on November 6th. Thanks!
Ta, wouldn't it be easier for you to say what republicans lost? Like, um, the election and their base? and a h*ll of alot of money.

Hey, you gotta point there annie. If conservatives had their way, there'd be more babies born so the conservatives could enslave them to corporations when they grow up, makes sense now.

Pro-life means just that, more life not less or the destruction of life. If you don't want to get pregnant than don't have sex. Get back to basics. No birth control is 100% plus no birth control will prevent STDs.

Quality.....not quantity.

Children should be born to people who really, really want them, people who have planned for them.....not forced on them by accident.

And as much as you dislike the idea.....people are NEVER going to stop having sex just for fun.....life isn't a fairytale, Janelle.

Exponentially increasing welfare-dependent class. Is artificially supporting an ever-increasing welfare class sustainable? Think about it.
I would just like to note that InformedConsent represents the perfectly consistent fusion of economic libertarianism and pro-abortion anti-natalist liberalism.

Prediction: We're going to see a lot more of this in the next four years.

It seemes some people want the rates to remain high, so they'll have something to complain about. It is probably the same crowd who are the loudest to downplay all positive economic news.

Because it would actually cost money to address the structural problems that would lead women to get abortions in the first place. Life is only "sacred" as long as you don't need to contribute to maintaining it's "sacredness". That's why it's so easy for people to call themselves pro-life while not really giving a damn.
