Hey "pro-lifers"

[ck4829]

If my tax dollars go to fund wars, land mines, and cluster bombs; then your tax dollars can fund abortions and contraceptives.

Get over it, that's what you told us. Remember?

1. Fantastic I agree

:applause:

[pleah]

2. K&R

[saracat]

3. While I agree, we aren't funding abortions but we are funding war.

And women are still told to 'get over it".

[patrice]

4. Yeah, and if we can give HC Ins Co mandated market, HC Ins Co can give us HC Ins COST Efficiencies!

7. Bingo. Why don't people see that

the Stupak Amendment was used as a distraction to get both sides riled up so that they wouldn't notice the myriad ways in which health insurance reform is going to screw us all?

5. I've been meaning to post this exact same thought. In my time-wasting response to the "I don't want

to pay for___________________, (Insert "health care of some loser, immigrant, Muslim, etc.," "abortions," "smutty so-called art," "godless public education," etc.) I have always written that I don't want to pay for an overinflated military budget used to fund pointless weapons, wars of choice, war profiteers, etc. I've always been curious as to why this is so seldom a point I see made by other progressives.

6. humankind is somewhat fucked up that way. wars seem much less controversial than abortion.

8. How many prolifers are you expecting to find on DU? nt

[Scout]

9. of, they're here, don't worry ... in our "big tent" that doesn't seem

to have room for abortion rights and reproductive freedom now that so many others have moved in...

[LWolf]

10. That's a point.

There was a time when that wouldn't have been true, but DU has shifted, along with the rest of the party, to support a center-right president.

I read things daily on DU that sound like republican talking points: anti-choice, anti-union, anti-labor, anti-peace, anti-education.
