Jivin J’s Life Links 3-11-10

As a courtesy, we called Kildee’s office and told them about our intentions, and about our dismay at his changed position.
Linsey Beck, Kildee’s legislative staffer, told us that the media reports were inaccurate, and that the representative has not decided to vote for the Senate language bill….
But the right we were fighting so hard for — which was granted only a short 37 years ago — was based on what the Supreme Court called “privacy.”
We wanted a woman to be able to make personal decisions about their pregnancies in the privacy of their most intimate circles — her partner, family, closest friends, physician and religious advisors, if she so chose. Or, she could decide as a panel of one and discuss it with no one.
Angie Jackson has the right to choose to take RU-486 and then write about her cramps, her bleeding, and the eventual expulsion of the products of conception on the Internet. But many of us who have spent our lives on the front lives of the abortion debate also have the right to hate the fact that she chose to do this.
At its worst, it is self-serving, exhibitionist and selfish. At best, it has “bad judgment” written all over it.
I also like how the clips of Stupak are cut short. Nice Michael Moore style arguing.
She ends by claiming Stupak is simply trying to get attention for himself. Seriously? People watch this garbage?
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Did you catch the almost subtle way Ms. Sorrentino uses the term “products of conception”? Correct me if I’m wrong, Jill (I was a nurse for 25 years), but what was the other name for “products of conception”? Wait…..oh yeah, a BABY!
Sarcasm included for free, Ms. Sorrentino. Next time you use that term, look at the pictures of your living children………
She acts like Stupak’s plan would oppose allowing women from buying abortion insurance coverage with their own money and only rich women could get abortions.
Um, that’s exactly what his plan is. His amendment is designed to both encourage private insurers to drop abortion coverage, while at the same time prevent patients from obtaining coverage if they received a tax credit or government check of any kind. While the effect would not be immediate, Stupak’s idea scenario is one in which all American terminations are paid for out of pocket (cash/credit only).
That’s an undeniable fact.
Sky high herpes rates.

Condoms do not protect you from herpes.

“It is never safe to assume that condoms will protect you from a herpes infection and prevent you from ever knowing what symptoms of genital herpes really are. Condoms do not cover herpes infected areas in many of those infected with the herpes virus. The best way to protect yourself from every knowing symptoms of genital herpes is to practice abstinence. ”
@Jill: Not only do people watch Maddow, but the farthest lefties think she’s brilliant and amazing and wonderful and clever and… Ugh. Gag me.
@Dhalgren: You know that the vast majority of abortions are paid for out-of-pocket now, right? What was that Guttmacher number? Only 13% end up on insurance claims. Stupak’s plan prevents any tax money from being used to fund abortions. It does not prevent people from purchasing extra coverage to include abortions with their own money. The result from all this would be…(wait for it)…everything stays exactly the same as it is right now. Stop whining.
When it comes to Madcow, just flip the station and consider the source. MSlsd is tanking anyway. I think that those of us who had to listen to “Keep your laws off my body” have a right to hear “Keep my tax dollars out of it too.” Fair is fair. Fox is the only station I watch.
Then Dhalgren, if having an abortion is so important, let poor women budget for it. We had to buy new tires for our car this month. It was a VERY unexpected expense, and we’re getting by on the paltry amount of money my husband gets from his GI bill benefits alone for his education (he’s maintaining an A average though, so I can’t complain. ^_^), so I wasn’t able to pay a couple bills that I’ll have to pay this next month instead. Yes, it’s not good, and yes, I wish we didn’t have to, but we really really really needed the tires for the car, so we are making due. If someone REEEEAAAAALLLY needs something, they’ll make a way for it, right?
Well, at least someone on the pro-choice side is saying what I said when this whole abortion tweeting thing started – wasn’t legalized abortion supposed to be about the right to privacy?
Then again, Roe v. Wade was a ridiculous decision. The legal reasoning behind it is unsound. You could be the most gung-ho pro-choicer in the world and still realize that.
Public Funding for the Destruction of Children of the Poor:
A Modest Proposal
Rather than spend money to help the children of those who are too poor to afford an abortion, let alone a child, the magnanimous federal gov’t generously offers to pay the cost of destroying any children whose mothers cannot afford to destroy them.
Is Sorrento upset that she had to experience the live tweeted abortion, or did she realize for the first time that a REAL BABY is KILLED during ABORTION?
Some guy called in to a TV show and said “We are breeding a nation of deadbeats, beggars, and bums.” True enough. Why do we have to pay for anyones abortion? Especially since the legalization of abortion has brought a drastic increase in the number of abortions. Does anyone know that an abortion fee increases with gestation? Call a clinic. I pretended to be a woman seeking an abortion. I called 3 clinics out of curiosity. The highest price was over 1000 bucks!!! The lowest was 400 and something. You can also choose sedation. Now, 4000 abortions a day in the USA…..does anyone realize that this would totally break us?? Nope. There are other solutions to an unplanned pregnancy for poor women. Abstain from sex or give the child up for adoption.
Why waste precious breath saying “products of conception?” Keep it short and totally void of anything babylike. POC!!!
And let’s not forget that most women repeat abortions. I recently met a woman who was 33 and on her 11th abortion. Expect to hear more stories like these. Especially if you give them hand outs for a free abortion.
11th ABORTION?!?!? Talk about using abortion as BIRTH CONTROL!
And calling an unborn baby “products of conception” dehumanizes and that’s what Banned Parenthood is all about: dehumanizing babies.
This is the sad cycle I have seen. As Carla wrote in another post..it’s okay to judge as long as you’re not a Christian. Amen to that!!! It’s so true. Most of the women I have associated with were/are middle class white women. They also made up the majority of women I personally knew who had abortions. Talk about judgment! These women were the first snobs to jump on the bandwagon and call their less fortunate “friends” everything from “breeders” to ” dumb hillbillies” whenever they said they were pregnant and keeping their babies. Furthermore, they always passed judgment on others, but did not like it when anyone judged them. Are Christians really doing the judging here????
Hi liz, yep! I was watching the 700 Club and they got a letter from a woman who wrote in after her first child was born. Prior to that, she’d written that she’d had 13 abortions. I’ve read that the average woman in Russia has about 10-13 abortions. Who knew? BUT, I blame the radical wing ding feminists for this mentality in many women today. This is the mess they have created, and they call it “Women’s liberation!!!!!”
Xalisae,
“No, his plan is sinista! People would have to pay for their own abortionz!1!!1!” Truly evil.
On an unrelated note, what is your husband studying? :)
Computer Network Systems for his associates, then on to Network Security for his bachelors, and he’s showing an interest in programming later, perhaps. He’s a computer guy. ;P
And yeah, expecting people to pay for their entertainment activities is mean and evil. lol. Maybe if people are expected to pay for something that isn’t meant to be an entertainment activity as if it were an entertainment activity because they’re treating it as if it were an entertainment activity MIGHT get that activity treated with the respect that activity truly deserves.

If you don’t want to provide funding for poor women to have abortion, I don’t want to hear any whining about welfare, child care, educational costs, and other public funds for poor women with children. And if Russian (not hung up on religion) women want to have 100 abortions, what business is it of yours? Oh, yeah, you watch the 700 Club. Isn’t that the Christian guy who wants Hugo Chavez assassinated and who said that the earthquake in Haiti was because of voodoo?
xalisae: Oooh, my boyfriend’s a computer guy as well. :)
Artemis: Do you realize the level of trauma a woman’s body would have been put through after 100 abortions? I would hope that everyone would recognize that as a bad thing, at least for the woman, if not the aborted children.
I don’t have an issue with welfare as long as it’s constructed to get the people on it to the point where they can financially support themselves and their families. The problem with educational costs is that too much of the money is used for things other than educating children.
It doesn’t matter if someone heard about a woman who had double-digit abortions from the 700 Club, a stranger on the street, me, you, or the ghost of Margaret Sanger. It happens and it’s tragic.
