--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This writer left the following comment on another website yesterday:

Since the Repukes love to invoke an extremely rare hypothetical to justify torture (i.e., you’ve detained a suspect you believe can provide information regarding an imminent attack), why don’t you trolls try this one on for size?

Your wife or daughter is brutally raped and beaten, only to discover a few weeks later that she has become pregnant . Her status with regard to STDs will remain unknown for several more months. 

What are your options?

If John McCorpse and his Rethuglican buddies have their way, your wife or daughter WILL carry that child to term, regarding of its impact on their lives, including educational and/or career plans. 

If there are early indications that the fetus is deformed, good luck finding someone to adopt it. Guess what? You’ll be paying to support that extra child for the rest of your life. Under such a scenario, you’d better start looking for a second and third job, and forget about ever retiring. 

And if it becomes a matter of the pregnancy threatening the life of your wife or daughter, you’d better say good bye to her, including any and all hopes for the future that included her. 

Perhaps if you are a loyal enough Repuke, knowing that John McCorpse and his buddies John Hagee and Rod Parsley approve of your actions will more than compensate for your loss.
&lt;/em&gt;

That needs repeating.

There&#039;s another set of options you left out.

1) Your wife or daugther could seek an illegal abortion in the back of a barber shop.

2) Your wife or daughter could try to self abort using any of the following:

Coat hanger
Soda applied
Clorox applied
Gasoline applied
Suicide

&lt;b&gt;Roe vs. Wade favored saving one over the other and not losing both the mother and child as it was with illegal abortion.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Additional comment to Post #28 --

Think that just because you are wealthy, that under the scenario presented in #28, you&#039;ll just travel out of the country with your wife or daughter and have the abortion performed where it is still legal?  Think again.

If the Repukes are truly serious about this, you&#039;ll have to seek permission from the Federal government to leave the country, which would include pregnancy tests of all females of child-bearing age.  

Better save up for that addition to your home.

Additional thought:  If those in your social circles are aware that you had a vasectomy done years ago, and your wife is obviously pregnant, be prepared for the questions that are certain to arise.  So much for privacy.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;McCain supports overturning Roe v. Wade and banning abortion except in cases of rape, incest or threat to the life of the mother. He has an anti-abortion voting record and has promised, if elected, to appoint Supreme Court justices who &quot;strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States and do not legislate from the bench.&quot; He did not favor a repeal of Roe v. Wade during his 2000 primary campaign.&lt;/em&gt;


This is from John McCain&#039;s website as of today.    John is so senile who knows what he thought they were asking him.  

Trying to get the truth out of McCain is a contradiction in terms.  He is always saying one thing and meaning something else according to him.  &lt;em&gt;You can&#039;t ever believe anything that comes out of his mouth, he flip-flops more than a fish out of water.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Newt Gingrich, the man who engineered the Republican takeover of the House in 1994, warned his fellow Republicans on Tuesday that they faced disastrous losses in November without a quick change in political course.

  Mr. Gingrich, a former speaker, urged House Republicans to convene an emergency meeting in the wake of Saturday’s loss of a longtime Republican House seat in Louisiana. 

  The loss in Louisiana was the second special-election defeat this year in a Republican stronghold. Party officials said that a third defeat next week, in a Republican district in Mississippi, could cause turmoil.

		<description>Bush and the GOP were in power for 6 years unopposed, nominating judges all the  while, and nothing changed about abortion. But still they string the religious right along, saying, &quot;If we ever DO decide to prohibit abortion, you can bet your bottom dollar we won&#039;t make exceptions for rape or incest victims!&quot; 

Real nice.</description>
