But women's health care seems to be one of the few places where "let the buyer beware" and "the free market will take care of that" is not the Republican mantra at all.<br /><br />Even if you took seriously their argument that there's something "wrong" with abortion clinics why is this the area in which the free market doesn't solve the problem? Everything else--even extremely dangerous professions like mining or working in or near a fertilizer plant the Republican legislature in Texas (for example) thinks should be entirely unregulated. Despite known deaths and mass destructive potential. Yet something involving women's choice of what to do with a woman's own body/health is considered something that needs to be legislated by the government? <br /><br />I'm not surprised, but it is galling to have to fight to protect workers against corporate depredations, and fight to protect the autonomy of women against government interference. Its like these people don't have any princples at all.aimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956073425680585780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-84062024715174655372013-07-03T11:08:41.291-04:002013-07-03T11:08:41.291-04:00Victor is absolutely right.

If you are simply repeating falsehoods without regard to their truth then you are lying to us (and to other people).

I see you're still un-taught.
Abortion...Teach,<br />I see you're still un-taught.<br /><br />Abortions clinics ARE licensed, you feckin' imbecile.<br /><br />What the Republicans are trying to do, is make the requirements to have a legal abortion clinic so onerous, that to run one, a simple clinic has to meet many of the same requirements as does a major hospital.<br /><br />And they're also trying to make having an abortion as difficult and uncomfortable as possible for women.<br /><br />The accomplish this, by closing clinics, thus making women drive further and further to get what's still a LEGAL right!<br /><br />And once they get there, they'll be be forced to have a wand shoved up their vagina's, and listen as some doctor reads a STATE SPONSORED lecture to them, about some fictional after-effects of having an abortion.<br /><br />People like you, in your small government dreams, want religious men, and male politicians, to make women's reproductive choices, instead of allowing them to do that for themselves.<br />Why?<br />Because you know better than 'the little ladies?'<br />I don't think so - and neither do they.<br /><br />And, it was because of later-term abortion restrictions, and a state government that couldn't afford to maintain inspections of facilities, that a butcher like Gosnell could operate his chop-shop in PA.<br /><br />And guess what?<br />In your self-fulfilling prophesy, when more legal abortion centers are closed, more butchers like Gosnell come out, coat-hangers at the ready.<br /><br />And more women will die, because the wealthy and powerful will always have access to abortions for their 'little ladies.'<br /><br />And you'll keep on bitching about the evils of abortions, just like people did before Roe became law.<br /><br />I'm old enough to remember when stories like Gosnell's were in the news several times a month.<br /><br />Oh, and on top of that, feckin' eedjit's like you, want to make contraception more difficult, if not impossible, to get.<br /><br />HERE'S YOUR SMALL GOVERNMENT CONSERVATISM IN ACTION, RIGHT HERE - MORE DEAD WOMEN!!!<br /><br />I know clowns like you think you're the MLK Jr's, of abortion, fighting for civil and human rights.<br /><br />All you are, is a large group of misogynistic and racist buttinsky's, who want to control women.<br /><br />Go back to trolling at your brain-dead rightie sites, you ignorant sociopathic jackass!<br /><br />The world is getting away from people like you, Teach.<br /><br />And the world will be a better place for that.<br /><br />Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-587263154171056252013-07-03T10:14:48.780-04:002013-07-03T10:14:48.780-04:00So you think that licensing abortion clinics is a ...So you think that licensing abortion clinics is a bad idea, even though this would protect the safety of women? Do you care more about abortion or women?<br /><br />Furthermore, what's wrong with making sure these facilities are licensed properly? Instead of shutting down, the non-licensed ones can upgrade. I bet you support Obamacare, right? You surely support all the massive amounts of regulations slapped on citizens, companies, insurance companies, as well as health care providers. You can't have it both ways, chum!William Teachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447753680268439618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-7372939386875124212013-07-03T08:58:49.342-04:002013-07-03T08:58:49.342-04:00Amusing that it's one of those areas where Sha...Amusing that it's one of those areas where Sharia is quite a lot less repressive than our American Taliban. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_abortionYastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-62699497160998783022013-07-03T08:47:43.181-04:002013-07-03T08:47:43.181-04:00Yup.
