4. Totally digusting
I sincerely hope that's one of the first things Obama overturns.

This is a ruling that could potentially devastate the health of half this country's population.

I hate these fucking preachers who want to destroy medicine through legislation.

6. I have a coworker who is passionately anti-abortion and she
thinks this is insane. Her reply was "don't they realize this will just increase abortions, the idiots."

11. Actually, they probably simply want to increase the number of children every woman has and in doing

so, effectively drive them back into the "traditional roles" they seem to think are spelled out by God.

13. Except that they only want this for white women
It's all about getting white women to stay at home and procreate for Das Faterland.

Women of color can work themselves to death in the fields.

I believe there is no small amount of racism in the forced birth movement.

God, this is getting ugly. :-(

14. totally agree with you.
I grew up in Southwest Georgia and there were "conservatives" there who will tell you "some people" should be forced to have abortions.

12. I'm not surprised.
If we offered them more LSD, would they consider stopping this crap?

Oh heck, LSD might make them make sense.

16. Solution: Maoist-style reeducation facilities (jk)
There are too many backward-thinkers in too many positions of power. Maybe it's time for a little ideological engineering... (freeper reads this and puts it up on their site to say "see, I told you they were commies!")
