re: #62 Buck

OK, let me draw YOU a picture. If you had become pregnant (I don’t know if you are male or female, but let’s for the sake of the discussion say female), and you chose to have an abortion. Do you think under the circumstances you outlined, the state should pay for it? Would you, in order to get the state to pay for your abortion say that you were raped? That you in fact consented to be raped.

If you don’t want to say you were raped, you don’t have to. This was a BUDGET bill, not a criminal law.

Get the picture?

Like hell it was. It was the GOP doing everything in their fucking power to restrict abortion in any way they could. They don’t care about women and this was just one more way to prove it.

By the way, I’m female. I paid for my own birth control in high school and had I gotten pregnant and chose to have an abortion, I’d have paid for it myself because I had a job. That probably doesn’t fit with your expectations of a liberal, but there you go. ;-)
