"When the first woman dies from an illegal abortion"
"I will remind you of your support for Alito."

That is what I will tell my REpublican colleagues and family members. This day is coming. My family is lucky, we probably will have enough money to pay for a safe abortion for a family member (i have 3 granddaughters)and we all live in blue states. So many other women will not be so lucky.

I want every supporter of Alito to know I think they have blood on their hands!

1. You don't understand. They WANT those women to die.
They want them PUNISHED for the sin of being sexual beings.

13. Evidenced by their resistance to the cervical cancer vaccine.
They would rather a woman die from a sexually transmitted disease.
Of course, the man that infects her is not at risk of death, so it works out just perfectly.

22. and then we can put her in prison and execute her for murder...

3. Excellent idea.
We should get NARAL to print up some sort of suitable postcard we can send out. I expect it to be soon. Indiana has a test case ready to go, as do several other states vying to be first.

4. And the big lie is that overturning Roe v. Wade won't end abortions
because states will pass laws allowing abortions in their own states. You know the next move after overturning Roe v. Wade is a constitutional ammendment banning abortions because they are murder. They view abortion as murder and will attempt to end it nationwide. Women , as you say, will pay for it with their lives.

8. they wont be able to get that to pass in 2/3rds of the states,
but, many states, prob about 10-20 will pass laws to outlaw it. Several states already ahve trigger laws that go into effect the second RvW is kicked.

24. I hope you are right but I see that great mass of red states during
elections and think of South Dakota and Mississippi and think 2/3 could happen.

5. I always use the old standby...
Nothing is worse for a child than to be born to a mother who doesn't want him. :cry:

7. Frankly I don't think anything will change with Roe.
I also have 3 grandaughters and I also live in a blue state but I don't think Roe will be overturned.

And Alito isn't in yet !

17. Please God I hope you are right!
I just think that these people are so crazy that they'll do anything. If you read history, you know what I mean. Crazy people ran the Inquisition, caused WW2, instituted the Holocaust, etc, etc. I don't think we can apply logic to what these people.

I am completely demoralized tonight.

9. I'm old enough to remember when abortion was illegal
in most, not all, states. When Roe was decided, I really couldn't believe it!
There were girls in my HS who went to "visit" and aunt in GA (I live in OH)
and returned remarkably skinnier the next school year. If one was unlucky enough to be pregnant, you were kicked out of school. The boy (or man) was never punished. What makes me very sad is that this scenario could return in a very familiar manner, and during my lifetime. Scary, very scary.

10. Me too.
And remember; with the right to abortion goes the right to contraception.

12. I recall having a doctor making me sign a paper on that one and
You could not even get some things done, and I do not mean an abortion, with our your husband saying you could. Both in NE states. Other names were used for abortion if you had money as I recall.Even in Navy hospitals you could get it done if you knew the right people.

11. Women may have re-fight this whole thing all over.
Bush number one was all for a womens right to have an abortion until he got on the Vice spot. Then he woke up the next day and did not believe it was her right. One wonders just what the value of these men are.

15. That won't do it unless she's blond and beautiful in a caucasian way.
The only thing that the pro-lifers understand is that if they support the reversal of Roe v. Wade, they better be prepared to finance a welfare state. That's the only thing that makes them think twice.

25. They want to ban abortion, and in the same breath, bitch about...
"welfare Moms" (read minority and/or single women) who "breed like cockroaches". They're sick. All they want to do is control other people's lives. They're also against sex education and giving out free condoms. :shrug:

And to top it off, they're usually engaged in some "sinful" or "deviant" behavior of their own.

(Yes, I just stated a sweeping generalization about holier than thou shmucks who wouldn't know Christian if it bit them in the ass, but claim to be doing "God's Work", as if God needs their puny contribution to screwing up the world!)

16. does anyone remember congressman bob barr (georgia?). he
was pro life and then it came out that he signed the check for his ex-wife's abortion. i guess it's okay if the man doesn't want the responsibility.

21. no one will know about it because it won't even be in the news
and if the story makes it to the news, it will be twisted and distorted to be her fault.
