(28,784 posts)not the b.s. abstinence only stuff, but programs that allow underage females to have access to birth control w/o parental consent - b/c the ones who need this are usually from religious rightie families anyway...
until they want to fund a program which does not benefit them in any way or coerce anyone to have anything to do with them....
the anti-choice crowd has nothing worthwhile to say.
There will never, ever, no doubt in my mind be a time when I will agree that a woman should be forced to carry a rapist's baby to term, however. never.
There will never, ever, no doubt in my mind be a time when I think the govt, rather than a doctor, should be the one to consult with women on healthcare. There will never, ever be a time when someone's religious conviction trumps the reality of science and the fact that a blastocyst has no consciousness, no brain, no spinal cord, no viability beyond consent.
Roe v. Wade established guidelines that take the issue of viability into consideration.
So, if the anti-choice crowd wants to meet reality and those of us involved in it over here on the Roe v. Wade side - welcome.
Otherwise - you're spouting religious belief but nothing that relates to actual gestation.
