re: #55 Obdicut

I am not sure what form of evidence you will accept (that this is fear mongering on the part of the left), and that there is no real threat to a womans right to choose.

Let me start this way. If you could get an old yellow pages from 2000, and compared the number of abortion clinics to a 2008 yellow pages, I would bet that you would see an INCREASE, and not a decrease. That might show that there is a greater access to abortion during the last republican administration.

In the same way, I would probably be able to show that there was a greater number of US same sex marriages in 2008 than in 1999.

However, this is not about restricting a womans right to choose. That decision has already been made. No President is going to be able change that. A President might be personally opposed to it, but he/she swears to uphold the constitution. It is clear fear mongering to say that the GOP or Armey plan to put an end to an adult woman’s right to choose. It just isn’t so.

However, on a completely different subject is government funding for abortions. Not federal funding for birth control, don’t confuse them. Public funding for abortions, and in this case public funding for international abortions.

So, it is perfectly fair to ask the question does Armey, or the GOP support public funding for international abortions?

The answer is probably no. It is perfectly fair to ask the President the same question…does he support public funding for international abortions?

However, to characterize this as support for a BAN on a womans right to choose is misleading at best, and probably fear mongering at it’s core.
