Wade never invented such an atrocious "right" that was never in or intended to be in the dictates of the Constitution.<br /><br />How many Ghandi's, Jonas Saulk's, or just regular ole good Moms and Dads have we killed in the name of abortion? Have we killed the baby that would one day grow up and discover the cure for Aids or Cancer? <br /><br />Just from an economic sense, the millions of aborted babies we killed could have been productive citizens that were paying taxes to offset the costs of providing social security and medicare to the retiring Baby Boomers.<br /><br />There is no good that comes from abortion, and certainly no honor to a government that would fund such a horrific practice.<br /><br />Further, most women that have gone through the procedure typically have great regret and guilt of having done so. I don't hate the women that have done so. I pity them and pray for them.Darrell Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474956372325309461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408858764761620479.post-58151915182881879232010-07-21T10:34:07.672-06:002010-07-21T10:34:07.672-06:00The video is a misrepresentation of fact.

It is yet another attempt to confuse and mislead the public by rabid, fundamentalist, anti-choice zealots. <br /><br />And as far as the funding of abortion, I refer you to my previous answer.Dave Splashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416298425231496822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408858764761620479.post-42417240638079373322010-07-20T14:49:44.316-06:002010-07-20T14:49:44.316-06:00Splash, watch the embedded video.

Pennsylvania already will get $160 million which can be used to fund any legal abortion in the state.<br /><br />Funding abortion should not even be a political issue, sir. It is about natural law and human rights in their most fundamental form.<br /><br />Our founding document as a nation stated that we were "endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."<br /><br />Our country has slouched far too closely to embracing a culture of death. Not only should we recognize the inherrent evil of killing the truly innocent unborn with federal funding, but a constituional amendment that reiterates and supports our Founders statement in the Declaration of Independence should and hopefully one day will be enacted so that all life that has indeed been so endowed by God is acknowledged and protected, sir.Darrell Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474956372325309461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408858764761620479.post-25934372852096655482010-07-20T09:27:35.139-06:002010-07-20T09:27:35.139-06:00Of course, there is no federal funding of abortion...Of course, there is no federal funding of abortion. The Hyde Amendment has prevented that.<br /><br />I think you will need another issue to get hysterical about for the fall.<br /><br />But, I would argue that there <i>should</i> be federal funding for abortion. For one thing, it is a legal procedure. For the second thing, certain tax payers are not able to simply refuse to pay for things they don't like.<br /><br />I didn't support the Iraq War, yet my taxes funded something I was completely, 100% morally opposed to -- and it was illegal.<br /><br />Conservatives need to realize they don't get an automatic veto on where federal money can and can't be spent no more than liberals do.Dave Splashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416298425231496822noreply@blogger.com
