    The Hyde Amendment to the annual Health & Human Services appropriations bill has explicitly forbid the use of federal funds to pay for abortions since 1976. Since 1993, the only exceptions have been in cases of rape/incest or when abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother.
    then why do republicans in congress repeatedly say that government, and more specifically the federal funding of planned parenthood goes directly to funding abortions??

    i am guessing it is the usual fearmongering and self righteous fact distorting bullcrap that they always spew.

    Exactly. They're like political trolls; they think if they repeat the same bullshit loudly & often enough people will actually believe it - and, sadly, they're right. :(
    that is why people like us exist. to tell people that what they have been told is wrong. unfortunately our voices are not loud enough...

    How are abortions funded in our country?

    Only by the private sector then?

    you can be pro choice and not pro abortion. pro means in favor of or in support of. i strongly support the right to choose, thus i am pro choice. i do not like the procedure that is abortion, but i realize that as long as there are human beings there will be abortions. why not make it as safe as possible so that women don't have to go to a back alley place for an abortion or have to resort to throwing themselves down a staircase to end the pregnancy?

    if i were in the situation where i got a woman pregnant i would want her to keep the baby. that is the selfish side of me. i mean, that child is half mine, since i contributed to creating it. but i realize that it is not my body that has to carry that baby and i can not be selfish in that situation.

    i strongly support the law that allows women the choice to decide what happens within her own body. and i strongly believe that any changes to that law and any restrictions on women's rights relating to their reproductive health care would be a huge step backwards for this country.
    that is not selfish at all ...

    what is selfish is a woman not giving up 9 months out of the 900 of her lifetime
    9 months to give life to another human being

    this a choice she will make and may regret one day

    the thing is, it is not 9 months she is "giving up".

    if it is an unplanned or unwanted child it is the rest of her life she is going to sacrifice to nurture, care for, and raise that child.

    unless it is a wanted and planned for child. in that case we would not even be discissing abortion or women's reprodctive healh and rights..

    Just a side note: Based on the language used to describe the top ten attacks, no liberal should have a problem with a conservative using a term like "death panels".

    Not that I would use either, but just calling a spade a spade.

    You should probably have a child before you go throwing around adivce on the "challenges" of having one.
    You make it sound as if its not worth it...

    i will have one some day. when my gal and i are ready for it.

    and if the woman is in poverty or if the child is unwanted, or if the mother is an unmarried teenager it is a sacrifice. do you have evidence to the contrary?

    I think the social issues will be the downfall of the GOP as we approach a society where more people get involved and more people see government for what it was intended to be and what it actual has become.

    The attacks on abortion rights are the same thing. I understand the crusade to want to save babies...even the ugly ones are cute...

    as far as publically funded abortions...they certainly take a side route to get there...but if the federal government gives money to a clinic program, even if it is specifically designed for other areas of spending, it frees up capital for those clinics to provide services like abortion to women, possibly on a sliding fee scale...

    I don't know for sure, but just like in all politics, I am sure there is some measure of truth among the over-generalized hyperbole about government funded baby killing, no matter how small the sliver may be..

    Just because something is a sacrifice does not means its not rewarding. You can't just call things quits when something goes "unplanned" especially when that decision revolves around (teminating) another human life.

    They're funded out of pocket, by private insurance, or - in a few states - by state Medicaid funds.

    again do you have evidence to the contrary that it is not a sacrifice?

    the fact remains, abortion is legal. this thread is not to debate when life begins. it is to talk about the conservative attacks on women's reproductive rights.

    women should not be forced to jump through a bunch of bullshit hoops or be guilted into deciding against her own wishes. that is precisely what these laws are designed to do.

    Who is disputing its a sacrifice??? You sound like Ayn Rand.
    You will understand the mintue you have a child, where I come from on this topic.
    Sure women should shouldn't be guilted into deciding againster her own wishes/body, but were not talking about removing a wart here, were talking about ending a humans life, whatever you classify it as it, its still a developing human.

    Every problem in the world boils down to over population, instead of banning abortion we should be limiting how many children you can legally produce.

    woah buddy, post your source...
    If you can tell people how many kids they can have, do you also support deciding WHO should be having the kids that populate this earth
