Actually, this woman sounds like Hary J Anslinger when he lied about the effects of marijuane. Just stood up in front of a microphone and ranted about some claptrap he made up trying to use fear to sway the government into making a harmless drug illegal. And the plan worked.

Here we have a person, again blatantly lying, again in front of a microphone, and again, using fear to project upon us all the dangers of not going along with her idea.

Stop making FAKE laws to govern us!

Free condoms will do until the parent wakes up.

It IS hypocrisy to make abortion illegal but to have government PREVENTED from doing those things OTHER THAN abortion to prevent pregnancy. If their is that lack of parental guidance then at least the damage from that can be prevented without abortion by sex education, free or cheap condoms and the vigorous application of rape and incest laws. In Texas you can get FORTY YEARS for graffitti, but rapists go free.

There have ALWAYS been religious influences in school programs. ALWAYS will. I have seen NO substantial restrictions in that regard in any of the schools that I have been associated with. Whether or not they are right wing is a matter of subjective interpretation. I have never seen baptisms in any school swimming pools, however. But I have never seen any restrictions on prayer or religious discussions either.

You can't kill a weed by cutting down, you have to pull up the root. All of your solutions only cut down the weed, not prevent the problem. I propose that if a child is SHOWN that SOMEONE values them, they will feel valuable. Most young kids are ignored by busy parents. Kids seek love & approval in gangs, boyfriends, peer pressure. If a kid felt like he was valuable enough to save his special self for the special someone who loves them enough to commit to them is more powerful than a free condom

EXCUSE me, but it was YOU who brought up politics, not me so chill! RE ur last comment:

1) The Religious Right is NOT allowed in schools, after school programs, Scouts, etc . If parents don't take their kids to church, mosque or tabernacle, how can RR reach those kids? Add to that the ban on gov funds for such projects they have2 do the best they can on donations alone! How is that hypocrisy? SPECIFICALLY HOW has their actions guaranteed abortions increased?

Solutions U listed R ineffective.

[exenrontexas]

TRY, if you can, to set politics aside for a moment and consider that those who want to make abortion illegal ARE RESPONSIBLE to not taking effective action all these years to minimize the number of abortion. In FACT, their actions have GUARANTEED that they would increase. WHAT HYPOCRISY! I personally OPPOSE abortion and also OPPOSE making it a legal issue. Christ said that we must love the sinner and the infirm, conservative Christians feed on hating those groups.

Both parties are corrupt & both use women as pawns to get votes. When the Dem party split during the primaries, I was appalled to see the Obama Dems cry over & over to the Hillary Dems "but what about the abortion issue?" as if women are so shallow as to only care about that. Logically, abortion wasn't abolished during 20 years of Reagan-Bush Sr & Bush Jr, I doubt its going anywhere anytime soon so, you can relax.

[exenrontexas]

I agree that abortion is a risky procedure and should be avoided if at all possible. In some regards so is pregnancy itself.

The right wing nuts who want to make abortion illegal have the POWER TO REDUCE OR END ABORTIONS IN AMERICA TODAY, RIGHT NOW, but they will NOT because it gives them POWER over the religious right and more votes.

Consider that the number of abortions would PLUMMET if America promoted sex education, provided free or cheap condoms, enforced rape & incest laws. TODAY.

Having lost a friend age 17 to an abortion gone wrong, I'm sick of women being used as dispensable political pawns in this debate.

An abortion carries real risks of irreversible damage to the uterus, infection, rupture, hemorrhaging & anesthesia all contributing their individual risks of death. These politicians & pundits who talk about abortion as if it were as safe as mole removal yet never mention the deadly risks are the lowest of lows as only the woman suffers physically & psychologically
