And even those Women feel more threatened by Right to Life fanatics associated with the Republican Party than they do pro-abortion pols on the Democrat side.<br /><br />Romney lost the woman's vote 55-44. For all the talk about Hispanics and Barry making lady voters ladyparts wet..The election, very simply, was lost on the woman's vote...and exit polls showed again that the tipping issue was fear Republican men would limit women's "choice".<br /><br />The Right to Life fanatics, mostly men, were unfortunately on full display in the Terry Schiavo fiasco for the Republicans. Women haven't forgotten how the bulk of Republican elected officials stood with the RTLrs on Schiavo, on abortion.<br /><br />And have voted accordingly since then. <br />The same Religious Right elements cast gay marriage as the end of the world, and again, moderate to conservative women felt a lot less strongly about the religious need to demonize homosexuals..<br /><br />Cedarfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602418702398818596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-25763057424861443612013-09-30T12:54:09.614-05:002013-09-30T12:54:09.614-05:00"By subjecting abortion clinics to new regula...<i> "By subjecting abortion clinics to new regulations that would force them to make expensive updates to their facilities [e.g., to adhere to the same standards as surgical centers] — unnecessary measures that major medical groups, like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, oppose."</i><br /><br /><br />I read ACOG’s <a href="http://www.acog.org/About_ACOG/News_Room/News_Releases/2013/Open_Letter_to_Texas_Legislators" rel="nofollow">open letter</a> and it wasn’t particularly factual or persuasive. A point-by-point listing of the proposed regulations and why ACOG believes they were unnecessary would have been more effective IMO in persuading people who while they may not necessarily be opposed to abortion, aren’t particularly comfortable with it and generally think that State-required health and safety standards are a good thing for medical facilities. It seems to me that whoever wrote this letter was just more interested in shoring up their “pro-choice” bona fides than in persuading anyone else to side with them.<br />Thorley Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262423151559851671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-65297880257681556362013-09-30T12:22:50.062-05:002013-09-30T12:22:50.062-05:00So pro-lifers are "fanatics" but if you&...So pro-lifers are "fanatics" but if you're pro-choice then that is just hunky dory? heyboomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927549491498600516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-59871309417725851432013-09-30T11:45:20.549-05:002013-09-30T11:45:20.549-05:00sykes.1:

Even Republican women and most educated male Republicans (college grads). No surprise that Laura Bush, Mrs Perry and many other prominent Republicans do not align themselves with the fanatical Right To Lifers. So even in Mississippi where most think abortion is wrong, they refused to pass a personhood law that any fertilized egg should be a person the same as any adult, in the law's eyes. Mississippi!!<br /><br />There is a disconnect as well on gay marriage...where some social conservatives want to outlaw it or seek Jesus or Allah intervention by trying to "pray the gay away" - but other Republicans and Independents are committed to gays having the same rights as the rest of us. No surprise that HW Bush attended the gay wedding of the child of a long-time friend.<br /><br />There is also a strong libertarian element that while they believe some things are wrong and would not do them in their personal lives - feel even stronger about not having more coercive laws. And reject the social conservatives and often vote for Democrats, particularly on abortion...if they worry the Religious Right will try and take us back to the 19th Century.Cedarfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602418702398818596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-64313348025985499842013-09-29T22:15:03.781-05:002013-09-29T22:15:03.781-05:00Having had a life with a bright and beautiful girl...Having had a life with a bright and beautiful girl who thought differently on so many things, well I can see it. <br /><br />Then the socialists go lock step no matter what an it all explains itself. donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336032631356999367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-45473211490118223182013-09-29T21:09:29.631-05:002013-09-29T21:09:29.631-05:00Let's all provide free abortions for the poor ...Let's all provide free abortions for the poor and minority population.
