    Charlie Crist is officially a Democrat now so I don't understand why you would think the call was from a liberal.

    The baby is inside the woman and only a woman's body can provide the biological systems to complete gestation and produce the child. So it all balances out.

    How would you practically force a woman not to have an abortion if the man wanted to continue the pregnancy and the woman wanted to terminate it?

    Put her in jail?

    He was a Democrat, a Republican and who knows what else=) Why would Republicans call and read from Liberal talking points, because the whole call seemed scripted right out of the playbook? Whatever, the whole war on women shtick is stupid in the first place.

    Which Party wants the Government to FORCE a woman to have a probe stuck up her vagina?


    Give you a hint...it's the same one that claims it wants to "get Government off your back". :)

    What probe is this and who's forcing what? Because some mention they don't agree with abortion with some whack jobs wanting it outlawed, its the whole party? Seriously? Also, banning is twisting things. Its the late term abortions that most people have a problem with. Guarantee you people for abortion have a problem with sucking a babies brain out when it actually has a sense of whats going on. That's &$(*#(@# sick right there. Early term when its just a glob of cells, go for it. Late term, "oh I changed my mind...", should certainly be banned unless there is extreme risk to the mother. You have the baby and give it up for adoption. You don't go aborting the baby when its an actual baby.

    Nobody is banning abortion in the US outright. Thats Liberal MSNBC land talking points right there.

    No but I do believe if male taxpayers are going to pay for her then they should at least have an opinion on the matter. Plus in today's society if you got pregnant then you CHOSE to get pregnant.

    Rape, molestation, sexual harassment is the War On Women and will always apply--especially when it is doled out by Presidents or any other person of power.

    That is true as most "social conservative" women are Christians and the Christian religion teaches women to be subservient to men (i.e. their husbands).

    Let us also remember that the term "conservative" relates to holding onto traditional values of the past. Things like not allowing women to vote during the 19th Century and treating them as chattel (property) are a "traditional" Christian values.

    My signature, taken from the middle of the 19th Century, reflects "conservative traditional" beliefs that are still being propagated by the "social conservatives" of today. "Conservative" women have never lead a single fight for women's equality in the United States.

    Who is trying to take away our right to have birth control?
    The way I see it, there are simply many people who ant to pay for your birth control, and as a woman, I agree with them. When I was younger, it cost me $10 a month for generic birth control pills.
    If men decided the taxpayers or insurance companies should pay for men to have Rogaine, it is anti-man to say they should buy it themselves?

    Conservatism and liberalism have become too extreme. I can point to 2 kooky liberal policies for every one you present from conservatives.

    Why would/should male TAXPAYERS have any say in whether some random woman gets to carry her child to term? That makes no sense.

    Yes and it's a personal decision so why should anyone else have a say in whether the woman carries the child to term or not?

    False equivancy again.

    Point to me a kooky liberal policy that isn't rooted in reality?

    Conservatives want to enshrine their religion into law. Even the Bible disagrees with that.

    Sure something has to be done about abortion. Not ban it but at least lower the numbers. Through education. Especially in the black community. What is the numbers. Like more black babies are aborted than all the deaths from diseases combined. I read that a few years ago maybe different now.
    Maybe more public African American role models. Speaking out about protection. Maybe a few rappers or pastors. I do t know
    But please people on the right. Enough about murder. They heard it already. They don't care and won't. Work on education and protection. Work on fathers being there for their kids. 76% of black kids are born to unwed mothers.
    We need to change that. I truly believe for the black population to thrive we need father in these kids lives. Good father role models not the crap on tv and in music. Grandparents are raising too many kids today. Mine raised me for many years. They should have had to.

    I believe a woman should always be aware of her surroundings and always have something to protect herself with. As for sexual assault that is a whole other case. In my comment I was referring to women who get pregnant just for the thrill of it and get abortions. If a woman was sexually assaulted she shouldn't have to bare having a child she doesn't want.

    Oh as for right winger. I am an independent and I feel you left wingers are more of a threat to our society.

    Oh yes white conservatives are so concerned about black children being aborted. The only reason white care about abortion is because white women are having fewer children and the birth rate for whites is 1.50. Just to keep up with the replacement the rate has to be at least 2.00. White conservatives believe that white women of childbearing age are aborting the white race out of existence.

    The percentage of black abortions is skewed because private doctors don't have to report abortions and most of the abortions they perform are for white women.

    The birthrate for blacks is 2.00 which is exactly replacement rate so the black population isn't decreasing which makes the supposed percentage of black abortions suspect.

    If you want to keep more black men in the neighborhood maybe you should push to abolish the draconian drugs laws which imprison people for selling pot which disproportionately adversely impacts black men.

    Same can be said on insurance that covers rehabilitation for drug addicts. I don't believe money should go towards that. Instead it should be invested on education and infrastructure. I believe we are falling behind on those important issues.

    Why can't we do both? Throwing drug addicts into jail will cost taxpayers more money than rehab and drug use is rampant inside jails so they will leave jail just like they arrived.

    I don't know any woman getting pregnant just for the thrill of it. What is wrong with you??!?! Abortions cost money and can have negative effects to a woman's body. What planet are you living on??!?!

    I don't care what you say you are. I know an insensitive, religious right winger when I see them.

    Religious right winger? Paranoid much? I am not religious nor am I a right winger. You may be surprised on how many women don't use protection because contraceptive have hormones in them and because they claim condoms don't feel good. Abortion may be covered by health insurance. Women generally don't think of the dangers it does to the body or the costs at the moment of pleasure.

    I think we are spending way to much money on things that could have been prevented. There should be more money for research and science. Cutting science and physical education off our schools will make our future adults less competitive with foreigners. We are already watching the effects of this with our economy.
