So if Republicans are AGAINST abortion but never do anything about it...

[MikeG]

Why can't Democrats do the same thing?

[EVDebs]

1. Republicans are against Contraception !!!!! eom

[Jade Fox]

2. Anti-choice people are against sexually active women....

Their real attitude is that you deserve what you get if you screw outside
marriage. If they were really interested in ending/reducing abortion they
would be pressuring drug companies to come up with easier, more
reliable forms of birth control, to name just one thing. Instead many of
them are working to make birth control harder to get.

3. Are you sure its not just a cynical way to divide the Catholic vote?

[Jade Fox]

5. On the part of Conservative politicians, quite possibly....

but I was describing rank and file anti-choice activists in my first post.

6. I've said that all along

They're anti-sex. And they look at pregnancy as punishment.

[Jade Fox]

8. Yes, they want to control people's sex lives....

not make it easier to have sex without fear of unwanted pregnancy.

The hypocrisy of the Anti-choicers is why we can never seem to make
any progress on this issue. The two sides have entirely different
agendas, and until that is recognized we will continue to talk past
each other.

7. they want to get RID of contraception -- every sperm is sacred don't

4. this issue, along with gay marriage tilted the election to a win for Bush

They got their man and have been duped. No one, especially Bush, is advocating an ammendment to the Constitution to make it a law that gays cannot marry now that the election is over, and no one is recommending that Roe v Wade be abolished.

But, they voted on those issues, with the spurring on of religious convictions from their pastors, and not to mention the military vote which has been speculated to have gone for Bush, although I do not have, and have yet to see, the numbers on that.

Well, they got their man to the tune of our troops being killed day after day in Iraq in an impossible situation which we probably have lost, but damn it, gays will not sully the holy sanctification of marriage that more time than not, is subject to divorce, and women will not and cannot demand control over their bodies and families and that is a gaddam WIN for those voters

Yipee--they won--but have lost, were duped, were skunked by a liar, a known and consistent liar, and will not admit it.

Except, they got nothing they voted for and most likely will not.
