As I said abortions should be mandatory for our youngsters, to give them a dose of real life decisions. There used to be classes in high school ..role acting as if one had a family and a child to illustrate the responsibilities required for parenthood……this excercise would be enough to wake up our iPhone mesmerized students. ….possibly to avoid marriage all together….perhaps tha t is why there are later marriages or little at all already…..

I wonder just how many Republican men would insist their wives and daughters, if raped, they carry the children of their rapists??? I bet they would be knocking down the doors of the abortion clinics to get THEIR wives and daughters “treated” for abortions!!! The Republicans need to stop dictating to women!! It is funny how the Republican Conservatives are so against abortions but most of them are guilty of, oh no, adultery and having babies out of wedlock…….with their mistresses while married. Guess they see that as A-OK?? One of God’s Ten Commandments is, “Thou shalt not commit adultery”, isn’t it?? They are such hypocrites!!

A Republican female legislator wrote this bill?? My, she has been greatly influenced by the likes of Akin and Murdock, oh yes, and Paul Ryan. Those Republican politicians need to stop focusing on women and what they can and cannot do to/with their bodies. Abortion is a very personal thing to a woman, and to try to force her into carrying her rapist’s child is cruel and unusual punishment!! The guy is the one that needs to be punished for having committed the rape!! But that female Republican obviously has no thoughts on that! Shame on her!! I am not keen on abortion, however, I do not believe a woman should be forced to carry her rapist’s child. Yes, I know, it is NOT the child’s fault yet he/she is the one that pays the ultimimate price.

Well, the religious right has done all they can to prevent sex education in our schools, which to me would prevent a lot of these pregnancies.

IF these parents of these kids don’t teach them, the school system must.

And BTW, it’s not only kids who need education. Lots of adults don’t use counterceptives either.

Getting married before you have sex isn’t going to ensure 18 years of support of the child.

Abortion should be totally available, no matter what age, with no hassles or stigma attached to it.

Enough of this BS.

The author of the bill is horrified about how it is being interpreted? How about it is being interpreted just as she wrote it and intended it to be! Ludicrous!

You are so right Inside…
I think there are still some good ones (Sanders, Warren, Brown in Ohio, Alan Grayson in Florida to name a few), but the cage most definitely needs shaking. Congress will never change until we make them change. As for reporting, Eight Major Corporations own well over 80% of the media. That business needs to be forced to return to the business of News and Journalism to which you refer in your reply. How can we make decisions based on the pap we’re being fed now?

A woman is raped and you want her to have his baby? Are you kidding? What is wrong with these republicans? Are they on drugs? I think they need to be tested. Start with the brain if there is one.

That is the most horrible thing, allowing rapists parental rights. What goes on in the minds of those who think up these things?

Lyn, and some states allow that vile sociopath into the woman’s life via the baby. The best thing to do, is to give every rape victim the morning after pill.
