Typical Republican. Set in his idiotic, I'll-supported ways. I'm no political freak, but god damn some of you radicals are annoying.
Let's review a few things. When Obama authorized a drone strike on Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen who defected and had known ties to terrorists, you guys freaked out saying he was a US citizen and should have had a trial. But US Army Sgt Bergdahl, held captive for 5 years, doesn't get one. We should have just left him there to rot without even bothering to find out what happened. Why? Because we don't negotiate with terrorists. My Ass. We not only negotiate with them, we sell them weapons. 2,512 TOW anti-tank missiles along with 18 Hawk anti-aircraft missiles and more than 240 Hawk spare parts, to be exact. All done by none other than the Republican patron Saint Ronald Reagan. In all, there were eight arms shipments to Iran from Aug. 12, 1985 through Oct. 28, 1986. Remember, this was after Iran seized our embassy and held Americans hostage. And Reagan sucked at it too. All we got in return was one dead hostage’s body. And not only would we negotiate with terrorists, we negotiate FOR them. The other part of that messy little affair was dealing with the Contras. You know, those right wing death squads down in central America, partially funded through drug-dealing courtesy of the CIA. Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Defense, was indicted on two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice on June 16, 1992. Weinberger received a pardon from George H. W. Bush on December 24, 1992, before he was tried. William Casey, Head of the CIA. Thought to have conceived the plan, was stricken ill hours before he would testify. Reporter Bob Woodward reported Casey knew of and approved the plan. Robert C. McFarlane, National Security Adviser, convicted of withholding evidence, but after a plea bargain was given only two years of probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush. Elliott Abrams, Assistant Secretary of State, convicted of withholding evidence, but after a plea bargain was given only two years probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush. Alan D. Fiers, Chief of the CIA's Central American Task Force, convicted of withholding evidence and sentenced to one year probation. Later pardoned by President George H. W. Bush. Clair George, Chief of Covert Ops-CIA, convicted on two charges of perjury, but pardoned by President George H. W. Bush before sentencing. Oliver North, member of the National Security Council convicted of accepting an illegal gratuity, obstruction of a congressional inquiry, and destruction of documents, but the ruling was overturned since he had been granted immunity. Fawn Hall, Oliver North's secretary, was given immunity from prosecution on charges of conspiracy and destroying documents in exchange for her testimony. Jonathan Scott Royster, Liaison to Oliver North, was given immunity from prosecution on charges of conspiracy and destroying documents in exchange for his testimony.[74] National Security Advisor John Poindexter was convicted of five counts of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury, defrauding the government, and the alteration and destruction of evidence. The Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that overturned these convictions. Duane Clarridge. An ex-CIA senior official, he was indicted in November 1991 on seven counts of perjury and false statements relating to a November 1985 shipment to Iran. Pardoned before trial by President George H. W. Bush. Richard V. Secord. Ex-major general in the Air Force who organized the Iran arms sales and Contra aid. He pleaded guilty in November 1989 to making false statements to Congress and was sentenced to two years of probation. Albert Hakim. A businessman, he pleaded guilty in November 1989 to supplementing the salary of North by buying a $13,800 fence for North with money from "the Enterprise", which was a set of foreign companies Hakim used in Iran-Contra. In addition, Swiss company Lake Resources Inc., used for storing money from arms sales to Iran to give to the Contras, plead guilty to stealing government property. Hakim was given two years of probation and a $5,000 fine, while Lake Resources Inc. was ordered to dissolve So please, spare me your outrage. By the way, the reason he hasn't been impeached yet is becasue you idiots don't actually know what an impeachable offense is. Smarter heads in the GOP do, which is why they haven't tried. They know they'd look like idiots.
So if you're allowed to abort a foetus who came about because of ****, why should you value the life of another foetus over the life of that one? What if the woman who was raped keeps the baby and it grows up, knowing that it wasn't protected by law when others were? How does that create a fair and just system?
Mainly because it would be highly traumatic to the woman. Otherwise there is no logical defense of abortion. In the case of **** or the life of the mother is the only reason.
There is also the reason that the woman will not be able to get an education and her life will be ruined. A foetus doesn't develop a nervous system and can't feel pain until 20 weeks in. It makes more sense to have it allowed because she will have the freedom to do what she wants without having a child. She can have a kid when she's ready.
Men telling women they can't have abortions unless they were raped... Are we doing historical role-play here? Am I on the wrong thread?
Well said buckeye. When it comes to **** the girl will have a choice. But I'm still against it either way.
"Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're pre born, you're fine. If you're preschool, you're ******." - George Carlin .
