All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.Not conceived. Born. Is my fetus/person an undocumented immigrant? Could it be deported? Could this be done via abortion, or would I have to accompany it?
Yesterday HB 405 and HB 409 were filed in the [Alabama State] House by Representative John Merrill,a Personhood Statute and Personhood Amendment, respectively.Alabama House of Reps website list all of Merrill's contact information, including home phone and address.
Have you ever considered how really insulting it is to say to someone, "I think your mother should have been able to abort you."...And that is the reality with which I live every time someone says they are pro-choice or pro-life "except in cases of rape" because I absolutely would have been aborted if it had been legal in Michigan when I was an unborn child, and I can tell you that it hurts.Has she ever considered how insulting it is to say to someone "I think you never should have existed?" That is the reality with which I live every time someone says they are pro-life because I would not have been born if abortion were illegal when my mother conceived a kid out of wedlock. And I can tell you that hurts.
a person has no duty to retreat from any place at which the person has a right to be present, and has the right to stand the person’s ground, and meet force with force, if the person believes reasonable force, including deadly force, is necessary under the circumstances to prevent death or serious injury to oneself or a third party, or to prevent the commission of a forcible felonyI think you might commit a felony, so I'm going to kill you, just to be safe. And if I'm understanding this page correctly, a felony is as little as theft of something of $1,000 of value, for which the standard limits of repercussion is a minimum $750 fine, maximum of no more than five years in prison and $7,500 fine. But now you could be killed for that. Also note that writing bad checks falls under this category, so make sure you have as much money in your bank account as you think you do, or your landlord may be able to shoot you dead.
It is important to remember that I have made only two promises in this campaign, and intend to make no more. They are:So, when he rang my doorbell, I was eager to let him know that, if it weren't for #2 on his promises list, I might have actually voted for him. I asked him why he could do that to limit the rights of so many of his constituents. His response: "My religious beliefs just do not allow me to vote any other way." He would not say any more.
- I will vote against any tax increase.
- I will vote 100% pro-life.
The girlfriend later flew to Wisconsin for work and when she returned she was no longer pregnant, Holmes said. She did not explain what happened, but Fultz suspected she had an abortion, Holmes said.I have long argued that evil does not exist in this world. I was wrong.

LaRoque, the bill's sponsor, said he doesn't think lawmakers are overstepping their bounds by restricting county and city insurance plans as well.Another "tax payer" who confuses the taxes he pays with the salary (and benefits) earned by the government employee. I wonder how LaRoque would feel if I said, "I'm a tax payer and I don't want State Legislators using my tax money to buy alcohol, therefore we should have a law preventing legislators from drinking. Oh and they can't play golf either."
"I'm a citizen, local citizen, and I pay local taxes, and I don't want my local taxes going to pay for birth control abortions," he said.
rmhsinc: I am going back to Ireland (Republic) where abortion is illegal, thousands of women fly Ryan Air to the UK (20-50 euro) or drive to the North to have it safely performedThey're not driving to Northern Ireland. It's illegal there too, even though it's part of the UK and the first Abortion Act was passed in 1967.
Planned Parenthood complained that the funds from the plate will go to pregnancy centers that provide women with real choices and tangible help in an unplanned pregnancy. As the abortion business claimed, the centers “promise comprehensive medical advice and services but deliver anti-choice propaganda.” Planned Parenthood also complained it would be ineligible to receive funds because it does abortions while the plate’s goals are to promote adoption and helping women in crisis pregnancies.Nice touch calling Planned Parenthood "the abortion business."
The reason there is so much confusion as to whether or not emergency contraception has the potential to be abortifacient is because those marketing it seem to have subtly changed the definition of pregnancy...When Duramed Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Plan B® One-Step, tells consumers in no uncertain terms that emergency contraception cannot cause an abortion or interfere with an existing pregnancy, either they are lying outright or they've redefined pregnancy as something that begins at implantation instead of fertilization.posted by muddgirl at 6:05 AM on June 11, 2011 [2 favorites]
