"In Four Months, Republicans Introduced 916 Bills Against Women’s Right To Choose
On April 20, 2011, in Domestic Policies, by Ezra Grant"

"Four months, 916 bills introduced. Sounds like a new record is about to be set. Whatever happened to Roe v. Wade? You know, the 1973 decision by the Supreme Court that gives women the right under the 14th amendment of the Constitution to make that choice? The law that has guided this issue for the last four decades?"

  The point is pretty clear. Republicans in the House (because that is the source of the bills) are more interested in limiting a woman's right to choose than they are on jobs. How many jobs bills have been introduced by the current House? NONE.
  
  So in essence he is pointing out that they bambozzled the folks that believed that was their sole focus, as stated during the campaign. They continue to do so today, and keep pounding falsehoods at every opportunity. Look at the recent shutdown talk. (Because their rationale for a clear path to job creation is cutting spending and lowering the deficit.) After all is said and done, the cuts will be in the millions,and not billions. So again it was political theatre... for nothing.
  
  So back to the point of the post, republicans, have proven that they are more focused on limiting a woman's right to choose than they are with fixing the economy or lowering the deficit. Which is a paradox in itself because the Ryan budget calls for substantial cuts in early childhood education (Head Start), medicaid (for poor mothers), and take away avenues to get low-cost pre-natal care. So that tells me that they care about a child UNTIL he/she are born.

  No. It tells me they're finally focusing on the right to Life that each person has. It's about time they quit letting the Left distract them from the most important points. I sure hope they get around to dealing with the other moral issues as well, soon. Those are the issues that the Left are using to destroy America's morale and morality. If those are dealt with correctly, the issue of jobs and money and foreign policy will follow, put back in place as they should be.

  Morale and morality? Who had that, and when did America have any? Marale, maybe, morality NEVER. Being pro-life if your belief and you are free to feel that way. However, you nor I should be able to tell someone else that they can't do whatever they want to or with their body. Morality is relative, and tied to a religious faith. We can all be law abiding people, but have a completely different outlook on morality. Morals are personal, as is a person's decision as to what her and her doctor views as safe and legal.
  
  Jobs, won't come after morality. Nor will the money. Foriegn policy problem is that we are an imperilist country, but don't want to be. There is no turning that overnight or a generation for that matter

  How is it not relative by definition? One person's sense of morality often will differ from another. There is no problem with that. It's why we have religious freedom. Isn't that where the notion of morality comes from?
  
  Abortion is a medical procedure. One that should only be discussed by a doctor and patient. Not my business. What should be regulated (not legislated) are safety measures and protocols.

Wow, pathetic, isn't it?

I never quite understand though, the whole 'a woman's right' idea - whether or not to KILL A BABY? Where does that come from?! The choice is made when you have sex, isn't it? But I know it seems a little unclear because pregnancy isn't guaranteed. Still, a man is required to support a baby he didn't want but a woman can actually kill one?

  Speaking of stupid and dangerous, if you could see beyond your extreme hatred of Republicans, you would see that it is not about restricting the rights of women, rather it is about saving a child. How terrible of them.
  
  I agree they are going about it the wrong way. Leave Roe v. Wade alone and try to change the mindset about abortion. Educated and informed freedom of choice is the best venue.
  
  Those that are all over Republicans in the house for not fixing the economy and reducing unemployment, conveniently forget that the Senate and the White House are controlled by the Democrats. That until this year the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress as well as the White House and despite their wonderfulness, they did nothing but dig a deeper hole.
  So how about reducing the venom and vitriol, and postulate some serious, thoughtful, bipartisan solutions? Yeah I know, it's too much to ask.

  Don't you kill a baby slowly by not funding programs that fight child poverty and hunger? We always forget that we have over 24 million children living in poverty in America, over 3 million of those are under 5. We also have 17 million children living in food insecure environments. That is where they are not in an environment where they can expect to eat on a daily basis. This is not a personal responsibility issue. Many people get abortions because they simply can't aford to keep the child
  
  Also with cuts to headstart and other early childhood education programs will only further the plight of these kids. Call me a liberal if you want, but if you are not willing to give a child an equality of opportunity to succeed in this country, then what does it matter if kids are aborted?

Rights versus Morality = Rights Win. Morality cannot nor should it be forced upon people/individuals. The "Right to Life" has been completely skewed by the religious majority and those who have a religious belief, should check their religious beliefs at the door, when it comes to dealing with other people. Meaning, keep your beliefs in your life and out of other people's life. It isn't your place to dictate "how" other people are to live their life.

If you want morality to win out in the end, then fund the education of people, instead of attempting to force them to conform.

916 bills introduced related to abortion.
The last poll I read said that less than 1% of Americans consider abortion a top priority for legislators.
Americans voted these yahoos in because our economy is in the toilet and people have suffered enough. We NEED jobs.
So instead of focusing on what they promised, they are busy pushing their religious agenda.
It's like excluding every other major issue we face and ONLY focusing on gay marriage.
This is not what the electorate wants Congress to be focusing on.
Get with the program.
Or get voted out next time.
It's really very simple.
Meanwhile, America is having a very rude awakening as to WHAT they've done. Buyer's remorse for those who were bamboozled.
"I hate to say it, but we tried to warn you!" from the rest of us.

And not for anything, but how in the world is having more children going to reduce poverty or the deficit, create more jobs or solve our international woes? Does not compute.

The solution is simple. Pass laws making it mandatory that all right to lifers must adopt or at least pay child support for at least 1 child that is not theirs, with severe penalties for noncompliance.

  My ex wife is a nurse, hardly a cushy office job......she's on her feet for most of her twelve hour shifts, and working with other expecting mothers is a very physical requirement.
  
  Again, nice try....

Warning - uninformed about politics and usually like it that way because of the fury, unclearness, and corruption involved question:

I see that people saying abortion should be looked at as a woman's right to choose by liberals, right? As opposed to conservatives (and conservatives are considered religious usually)? But I thought liberals are the ones who want government involved in people's lives with lots of programs and funding. Do I have it backwards?

"I am all about advocating the RIGHTS of the individual who is already living their life."

Perfect and so simple. That is it in a nutshell. And anyone who is advocating anti-abortion is advocating against the rights of the individual to live their life as they see fit.

Which, is supposed to be their due as a citizen of the United States.

  But the unborn child is not allowed to live out their life as they see fit.
  
  Precedent for such has already been set many times over by court cases where unborn children are identified and treated as murder victims. Many courts recognize the humanity of the unborn.

  Again, there is NO CHOICE in being born. What are you not understanding?

  So none of us had the choice to be born, so it becomes perfectly acceptable to kill them......wow, what a brilliant argument....

  Your lack of understanding is appalling to say the least.
  
  Rights are derived from CHOICE.

  Um, dude, an unborn baby has no ability to choose its destiny. Neither does a three month old baby....so I assume you would condone the murder of a three month old baby if it became a hardship to the parents?

  Condone it? Again, you are trying to distort what is said, so you can suit it to your needs.
  
  A 3 month old baby is already born. Therefore you argument is just distortion

  But it still cannot make choices on its own. Therefore, your argument still applies. Either follow your arguments through to their logical conclusion or get out of the way and let more rational, intelligent debate proceed....

  It is NOT a right of an individual to infringe upon the individual rights of another. Those who are advocating the stripping of a woman's right to life and right to choose, are infringing upon the her rights.

  Pregnancy is an automatic 'infringement' on a woman's rights, just because the US and other countries decreed it unfair doesn't change nature. Aren't the people arguing this way the same ones who claim nature should decide a person's sex? That it's natural to be homosexual and therefore you can't say it's wrong?
  
  Instead of screaming (yes, people here are screaming in fury, you can tell by word choice) about how nature works and you don't like it, wouldn't it be better to argue about the baby's right to a decent life which won't happen when they're unwanted and unfed?

  Actually, this argument hold no weight. Pregnancy isn't an automatic "infringement" on a woman's right.
  Nature doesn't determine a person's sex. Genetics determines a person's sex. Being homosexual is a choice.
  I understand where you're coming from with this statement. That is why I advocate for woman's rights and suggest that education is better than abortion, but abortion is just an option. It all remain a choice.

Something else, it used to be common to hear of people wanting babies and they couldn't have them. People spend so much on fertility drugs to have kids - aren't these people adopting?! Where are they? Or has the situation changed that drastically in the past generation?
