Zealot for freedom to get as much information as it is possible to get. That’s why, of course, I opposed Bush limiting information about family planning–which of course reduces abortion– in the case of any US funding for family planning clinics domestically and overseas. You see, I’m not a zealot of abortion, or of eliminating abortion. I’m just a zealot for the free exchange of information; I’m a zealot for family planning clinics to reduce and eliminate abortion whenever possible. I choose life–which includes the life of a woman who may die as a result of being forced into a full-term pregnancy or delivery.

Don’t be a hypocrite. If you choose life, you should be against the Death Penalty. You should be against War. You can’t “choose life” and then support people being arbitrarily put to death, under a system in which hundreds of convicted death-row inmates have been proven innocent through DNA examination of the crime. You can’t “choose life” and arbitrarily believe that a pregnant woman should be forced to risk or lose her own life for that of a fetus. You can’t “choose life” and support any war–since death is a certain by-product of any war.

So, before you go off in a huff, get this straight: You’re distorting and perverting the position of people who support a woman’s right to choose, denigrating them as murderers when they are not. No one chooses abortion easily or lightly; and no one wants to be in that position. No One. But, I’d venture to say that the vast majority of women who do end up choosing to undergo such an emotional trauma–as abortion always is–do so because they are prohibited from receiving information, other options, or receiving any organizational support which could help them avoid such a life-shattering decision.

So, here’s the definition of a hypocrite: One who says they “choose life” but they refuse to support family planning systems fully funded; one who says they “choose life” but they “choose” death for human beings who are wrongly convicted of major crimes; people who “choose” life when it suits them, but then “choose” death for thousands of Americans in wars of “choice.”

She’s looking pretty pathetic…

What NARAL is complaining about is that the money is going to “pregnancy crisis centers” that are not giving truthful information to women about their options. That is not about being pro-choice or pro-life. It is about NOT prosletyzing to someone who needs to make a very difficult and private decision.

That said, my post is not so much about being pro-choice as about pointing out the irony that the president of NARAL, who abandoned the cause her organization is supposed to stand for when she abandoned Hillary for the disingenuous Obama, is now getting her comeuppance in noting that he appointed as DNC CHair a man who could care a whit about a woman’s right to choose.

And as I also said above:

…the right of choice means exactly that – which means defending Governor Sarah Palin’s choice as much as anyone’s.

Hope that was not too hateful for you.

Of course if your goal is to destroy every fetus possible then your point make sense but it is still insane and evil. Choice is one thing, indoctrination of women in perceiving only one option is totally another…and it’s evil.

For the zealots among you…don’t bother responding because I won’t read your hateful responses anyway.

Nancy, was not just blind. N.O.W. and NARAL took the money and ran and sat silent. It IS all about politics now for these organizations. Big donations to them procure and endorsement. Apparently values and policies don’t matter. What they didn’t get was they were being “hoodwinked” and “bamboozled” He never had ANY intention of caring about women’s issues. If he HAD he would not have cheated the millions of voters who wanted to put a capable woman in the White House. When someone shows you who they really are Nancy…next time….believe them you twit.

She made a statement when this started, in re Palin, that sexism had no place in the campaign. Period.

I wonder if her objections are genuine as well — I seem to recall several years ago she did something else that went counter to the agenda of what NARAL is supposed to stand for. This is not new for her. I’ll nose around and try to find the exact reference.

AMEN.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first nor will it be the last time we’re going to hear “I told you so”.

The Keenan’s of this world who sold everyone down the river for their head up their a** fantasy will unfortunately cost us all in the long run.

This administration is going to set personl freedom rights, and maybe freedom itself, back hundreds of years.

We currently have a gutless group in Congress who have forgotten what freedom means and how the exercise of free choice has gotten them where they are today.

It’s going to take a revolution by grass roots Americans to take back our nation from those who advocate “everything for everybody” with no plan as to how to pay for any of it.

And, by the way, if the Obumble government is guaranteeing all waranties on GM cars, that means that you and I are paying for it. Ergo, we should have a say in how it’s done or at least be getting free cars out of the deal.

Our baa baa black sheep nation of followers who all felt American Idol was a model for president, will be our undoing if we don’t demand a return to teaching civics and government. Maybe then they’ll learn to read up on a candidate before they vote for him.

Gollum had his “precious” and we know what happened to G. Let’s hope we’re not far behind because we’ve been saddled with ours.
