You cannot call yourself 'Pro-life' and then take away affordable healthcare for the poor

You can't call yourself a Christian either.

That woman with the Susan G Korman foundation who decided to fuck over millions of low income women - there will be a special place in hell for her.

there would be no wars, no death penalties, children's free lunches wouldn't be in peril, every American would have healthcare and nobody would die for lack thereof, and hunger would not be an issue.

However, it is about keeping women as an inferior species. I have said before and will say it again, that a great deal of the younger generation has taken their "rights" for granted. It looks as if my Granddaughters are going to have to pick up the fight our Grandmothers started, because to be honest, MY generation didn't fight hard enough to preserve them.

you can't call yourself "pro-war" or "pro-death-penalty" and at once call yourself "pro-life", either. I can't imagine the kind of mental gymnastics one has to perform to convince him/herself it can.

Breast cancer is of special concern to me and they do great work in that area. That is why I support them and will continue to do so.

It's your money but to me there are only a trillion other organizations that raise funds for Breast Cancer. I don't need an organization run by a bunch of anti-women, anti-choice people to take my hard earned money. I would think twice about donating to SGK. Pro-life people claim that your risk of breast cancer increases if you do not have children or if you have had an abortion. Do we want these kinds of people misleading the public.

It's a bad choice for SGK - if you want to support Breast Cancer find a better way to donate the money that isn't going to endorse right-wing rhetoric.

the Bible to be the literal word of God, and then boo the words of his representative on earth. Ians can do anything since they took Christ of of Christian in South Carolina.

And as for SGK, I recommend Pink Ribbons, Inc. It is opening today I believe. SGK was never about "the cure". Thirty years, and we still don't know what causes breast cancer, but the incidence has risen from 1 in 20 to 1 in 8.

but do you think the increase in incidence is due to better detection methods? Purely academic question, I know.
