It does.

Are you trying to say that public power companies can't be corrupt?

The 4th one is from a left wing propaganda site so I will ignore it - how do you lefties believe such nonsense?

I will address the first three.

The claim was that legislation "attacked' reproduction.

Those three have nothing to do with reproduction - the legislation concerned abortion.

Abortion is about reproductive rights.

No - abortion is mostly about irresponsibly killing the life that one willingly created.

The only exception is in the case of rape - a very small percentage of abortion "causes" and not something that the "pro-choice" people usually mention when falsely calling abortion a "reproductive rights" issue.

Another very minimal cause is when the mother's life is in danger.

The vast majority of abortions involve a man and a woman who willingly engaged in sexual relations and then decided to be irresponsible and not man and woman up to the responsibility that comes with such actions - being the parents of a new human life.

Abortion = running away from engaging in reproductivity - usually in the most cowardly, irresponsible, and dispicable way possible - choosing to let an innocent human life whom you helped conceive have its brains sucked out of its head.

Shame on you for supporting such a horrible thing and then trying to minimize the horror by mischaracterizing it as "reproduction".

that is your misinformed and highly ignorant opinion.

Reproductive rights is about not limiting the woman's right to choose what is BEST for her, and you busy body nobodies have no right to dictate what a woman can or can't do with her own body.

shame on you for passing off your opinion as fact.

Well, Hot Damn! Now abortion has nothing to do with reproduction?

No, but the earlier post referred to power companies, plural, as in private ones. I don't know why private power companies could, or would, have any political sway in L.A., since the city's power is city-run.
