    FWIW, I've never felt men should have a vote/decide what a woman does with her own body.

    That's exactly what I was thinking when debating whether to hit 'post reply'.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    None of this is actually unreasonable (depending on what you mean by "education" of course). IMO, it's perfectly fine to be against abortion personally--to personally feel abortion is the wrong approach. The problem is when you try to enforce that choice on other people, women, especially in the form of a law.

    In addition, she took that stupid blood test, and then later doubled down on Medicare for all when she all but had escape velocity in the fall. She's a good politician - articulate, smart, likable, passionate - but you're right Barfo, she blunders too often strategically.

    Or, as we say in sports, too many unforced errors.

    You could be right. 15 Million would be plenty. However 135 Million would be even more.
    Polls show women favor the right to choose in overwhelming numbers.

    The best chance of somehow beating Trump is Biden. If the dems were smart, they'd pick a moderate and start to move more and more left. Don't start so far left.

    Yes there are women who think our function in life is having babies. Period. Nothing more. But this being 2020 and not 1620 that's a dwindling number.

    For the record I did not read ABM or Maris. Neither my 15 year old self nor my 65 year old self needs mansplaining what a teen girl is supposed to feel.

    People who seem to believe this: back this up with data. I just don't see it.

    Again, Lanny, to me, it's not simply a matter of perceived right vs. wrong, not about majority vs. minority viewpoints. It's about what I'm passionate about. And I believe abortion is the killing of the unborn. Period. I have every right to that stance, and fight along with others to help preserve those unborn babies' rights.

    Oh, and my position doesn't necessarily just relate to laws. It also involves education, counseling, care for the moms, and resources, etc. from all sorts of entities.

    No, let me explain. Either women are smart and responsible enough to make our own private health care decisions, or men make those decisions and impose them by physical or legal force. End of story.

    I believe that every sperm in your scrotum is a fully developed tiny humunculus. I believe every time one of those dies through your negligence in not fertilizing an egg with it, a soul is lost to eternal torment. I have every right to that stance and to fight along with others to preserve those un-egged humunculus's rights. We will be picketing your testicles fortwith until sensible, humane laws are passed that enable us to castrate you so that we can do what's right by the humunculi without your interference.
