Trump wants to cut funds to Planned Parenthood and contraceptives...you right to lifers make me sick. The rich and well heeled can go to Canada or Europe and obtain an abortion...this country has NO right to discriminate one segment of society in relation to another. If the rich can an abortion in or out of the country...abortion should not be forbidden in this country against the less monied. that is discrimination.
The religious say life should not be aborted but dying from lack of medical care is quite all right? A convoluted sense of morality. This country killed my daughter from lack of medical care and I have a weak heart because I could not pay a doctors office visit. This country is one sick excuse for morality

(13,873 posts)The first act of George W was to seriously limit stem cell research. My then 4 year old daughter had just been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and stem cell therapy is the only realistic path to a cure.
Fortunately I was able to cover her with insurance at my work, and when I retired Obamacare covered her.
I really worry about what Trump would like to see in the future.

(51 posts)To the Pro-Lifers - If you want your beliefs and messages to have any semblance of logic you need to own the whole package. A woman get pregnant and the GOP (most, if not all, claim to be pro-life) is doing everything in their power to deny this woman the per-natal care required to give birth to a healthy child and protect the mother's life. Then after the child is born the GOP is doing everything in their power to deny the child proper health care and a living wage for the parent(s). To make things even worse, they want to dismantle child's ability to get a good education, clean water, uncontaminated food, clean air, adequate housing, etc., etc. You know, all those good things Fake Tan's cabinet are doing their all to dismantle.
Pro-Life is the height of hypocrisy and it sickens me that Pro-Life men think they have any business dictating what should be a woman's personal decision. The GOP says they don't want government dictating peoples lives. The anti abortion movement is doing exactly the opposite.
I cannot understand why the GOP congress doesn't get it yet. When will they realize that knelling down to the toddler in chief puts them on extremely wrong side of history. For God's sake, you all know he's incompetent, ignorant, dangerous, and guilty. You all know he only cares about one thing, and one thing only - himself.
My authority for my opinion. I was a very late in life accident. My mothers health was not good to begin with and things got so bad she was given the "option". She chose not to take it and here I am. After I was born her health was never good again and the pain she lived with for rest of her life has no words to adequately describe it. MY POINT - I would not have blamed my mother one bit if she had taken the option. BUT, she was given a choice, in the early 50's. All women deserve to have a choice.

(20,588 posts)they want to punish women who have sex without the intention of having children. If they can't afford the children, they want to cut back on their food and housing support. They want to punish women for having fun sex. They want to deny women healthcare, safe pregnancies, and birth control because that means someone is having fun sex.
There is also a certain amount of projection in their obsession with women's bodies. They feel righteous about banning abortion but offer nothing besides their opinions and judgment when in fact they are the real killers.
