Conservatives will still get abortions

[realFedUp]

You know that nothing will stop Republicans
from getting their daughters abortions if they
are young and unmarried or their health is in
danger. They have afforded and will continue to afford
private medical care to make sure that is the case,
despite any laws to the contrary.

It's women who are poor, can't afford one more
child, in abusive marriages or relationships,
who have been raped or religiously can't
take birth control who will suffer if these
nine judges continue eroding who gets to
make their own reproductive decisions and
who doesn't.

If the Bush daughters get pregnant while not
being married you can bet they'd be getting
abortions in a heartbeat. Who knows if one or
the other hasn't already, which thankfully
in this country is still legal.

1. As I have said many times before,

MONEY talks, even for the middle class, as my Aunt was in 1945. It is the poor and the young who will suffer.

[realFedUp]

2. indeed. nt

[NanceGreggs]

3. Ain't THAT the truth!

"Who knows if one or the other (Bush twin) hasn't already (had an abortion), which thankfully in this country is still legal."

Good God, the last thing this country needs right now is another generation of Bushes!

Those of us of a certain age (I among them) remember when abortion wasn't legal. We also remember how girls in high school who came from well-off families always managed to get one. It was an open secret that if you had the financial means, you could ALWAYS find a doctor who was willing to 'perform a medical procedure' that would help you out of your difficulties.

[realFedUp]

5. yes, those who can afford to travel to other states, countries...

did and will.
Those who can't will either self-abort by any
number of horrible means or have one more unwanted
child to suffer a life of poverty.

11. I remember a story

last year there was a guy who was against stem cell research and he had something happen to him that needed it and he flew to another country and got it because he could afford it.

[realFedUp]

23. yep...we lost some good scientists to overseas research too.

[Howardx]

18. in this case

its a service to all humanity

4. Rich mothers and daughters frequently took sudden "vacations"

to Europe during the 'fifties, and we will return to that. I grew up in a town with two boys orphaned by a botched amateur abortion. When abortion finally, at long last, became legal I thought of those boys and wished they could have had their mother back during their childhood.

Women take safe abortions for granted now. I wish somebody would make a horror film about how bad it really was. Girls "had to get married" and boys had to abandon college plans. It was dreadful.

The people who are responsible for keeping Plan-B from being available OTC should just fry in hell, as far as I'm concerned.

[realFedUp]

6. and as we women say....if men just got pregnant

there would be 24 hour in and out clinics
on more corners than Starbucks.

[Yupster]

28. You women sure say

some pretty sexist things then.

Have any good lines about African-Americans or the disabled.

Maybe those would be even funnier.

[GrumpyGreg]

7. I hope you saw "Vera Drake" last year---the bad old days in the UK.

[realFedUp]

14. I really need to rent that film...thanks for the reminder! nt

[NanceGreggs]

15. I have a better plan ...

"The people who are responsible for keeping Plan-B from being available OTC should just fry in hell ..."

I have always contended that people who want to make abortion (or 'morning after' contraception) illegal should have their names put on an 'Instant Adoption' list. When your name comes up, you will be notified to expect a child to arrive at your home within the next nine months, and you WILL be immediately responsible for that infant's financial upkeep, including taking it into your family and raising it as your own.

Of course, the immediate response of someone whose name came up would be: "But I can't afford a child right now," or, "I didn't want another child," or (my personal favourite), "The child you're forcing me to raise will be severely handicapped, and will require constant care, financially and emotionally."

And MY response to those people would be: "You wanted to force ANOTHER WOMAN to raise a child in the same circumstances you've just described. Now it's your turn to put your money, your lifestyle, and everything else you hold dear where YOU'RE FUCKING MOUTH IS."

End. Of. Discussion.

[realFedUp]

16. good idea, and while "Christian" groups are in bidness of selling

other women's children, you can bet that they
will see it's in their interest to keep poor
white women pregnant.

[Sal Minella]

25. LOVELY Rant, thank you!!!

17. Catholic Girls School in the 60s

Definitely Middle Class. I knew a number of girls who "disappeared" for a semester. They went on "vacations" to Europe. This was NYC too. The tuition was not cheap at this school. They then came back to resume their studies as if nothing had happened.

In the case of my Aunt back in the 40s, she was a middle class, middle aged (grandmother), married, and had a home she could mortgage to come up with the "payment" for a therapeutic abortion. Yes, Fundies, married, faithful, Christian wives have abortions, too.

Those precisely who they are "targeting" to bring unwanted babies into this world, will be exactly the ones who STILL will be able to get an abortion, albeit, at great expense and inconvenience.

Read between the lines of that one. We all KNOW who precisely they are targeting with this.

[realFedUp]

22. those Catholic girls were wild.....

ask Catholic boys.

[politicat]

35. www.lifeandlibertyforwomen.org does make presentations

8. Of course, that's what I've said for years - Abortion is a class issue,

not a religious one.

[realFedUp]

12. why do they hate us for our freedoms?

Why is it that some males have the need to
make rules for women, especially those they
have no business getting in their business?

[realFedUp]

20. right....and who gets to rule over others.

[FreedomAngel82]

9. Exactly

In 2002 a woman was talking who was an ex-girlfriend of Bush's before he met Laura and he got her pregnant so Poppy Bush arranged it for her to have an abortion when it's illegal in Texas and was back than and she didn't want the abortion but they made her. After she started talking she was found dead in her home.

[realFedUp]

13. I have to imagine abortion isn't a foreign word to the Bush family

young attractive daughters who drink and allegedly
do drugs hanging with a fast crowd of men, leading
to all sorts of decisions about reproductive health.

You have to believe that they are smart enough
to use birth control and hopefully smart enough
to have their partners use condoms.

[happydreams]

19. I just wish the Bush's would

have more abortions. I wish Repugs would to.

[realFedUp]

21. and there's that aspect....lol

fewer bushes, more trees.

[realFedUp]

10. I would bet Alito's daughter would get an abortion if unmarried

and young or her health was in danger.

Especially bet she'd have an abortion if raped.

[SoCalDem]

24. BUT.. They call them "appendicitis"..."female trouble"

"difficulty" with their 'woo-woos'... D & C...."treatment for irregular periods"..

and a ton of other euphemisms..

and sometimes the "procedures" include travel to warm climates for "vacation".

[MrSlayer]

26. How many conservatives do you think are "rich"?

The majority of them are in the same financial boat as the rest of us, they just don't realize what's causing it.

It's safe to say rich people regardless of political affiliation will be able to get what they need and the rest of us will not.

[realFedUp]

27. Certainly a lot of conservatives are poor to middle class

and they haven't woken up to the fact that
rich conservatives are using them.

[upi402]

29. Rich women (conservatives) always had access to abortion. Of course!

I had a teacher in high school inform the class about this, and around the time of Roe v Wade.

[Opusnone]

30. The loudest anti-choice mouths are men and older church ladies

They won't get abortions because they cannot get pregnant.

[upi402]

31. and nobody would impregnate them

:rofl:

[Opusnone]

32. Undoable.

Bummer for their old men, too, they've got a cornucopia of great pills to get and keep them hard, and they're stuck with these women.
Sorry, not sexy.

[Dr Fate]

33. In my home town, family doctors still perform home abortions for the rich

In order that their daughters are not seen at Planned Parenthood.

[McCamy Taylor]

34. For sure, They call them "miscarriages" lol and do a D&C to clean up.
