The Republicans are trying to save the lives of the future customers of those small businesses. Without babies there is no growth. See Europe.

Was abortion legal in Hungary in 1930? I cannot imagine it was. If it was not, would that change your mind?nnUnless you say right here that it completely changes your mind I suggest you are saying a woman in 1930 should have broken the law. If it was not legal would you think the Hungarian government should have prosecuted Mr. Soros and the doctor who performed the abortion?

Speier’s pain — something no man can really do. nn Please leave our bodies out of government. It’s not your business yet. Wait until the health care plan gets going – everything will be “their” business and we will have even fewer personal liberties!! nnSay “NO” to the heathcare bill!

Democrats base their entire platform on stealing from the American people. How is abstinence illegitimate? You obviously have absolutely no discipline. Raise the taxes on the top 10 percent, eh? Well history has shown time and time again thatraising taxes on the wealthy lowers revenue, sorry. It’s called supply-side economics.

Abortion is horrible. So how do you stop it. Can you stop a Republican from stealing no. Can you stop people from having sex. No. So if your can’t stop them then offer alternatives. Not your Abstentia idea. Thats like asking a Republican to do what is right for the country not just those that paid for him to get elected. Offer some real options. Birth Control. Yes. Whatever it takes. If you want them to have babies then raise taxes on the top 10 percent to pay all expenses.

Good point – in addition to discussing these issues here, progressives need to turn out in force and start talking back and bringing logic and truth back to the debates on FOX as well!

Jackie Speier needs a promotion! Brilliant oratory, Representative! Thank you for speaking the truth, for calling out Republicans for wasting our time with this ridiculous wedge issue, and for getting in a stab at Halliburton while you were at it! Excellent, concise points – I love it!

Always busy, usually angry, mostly incorrect.

Speier spoke out on this matter. I’m positive that they are many women in Congress and in our neighborhoods that have gone through similar procedures.

Typical weak approach – when faced with a strong, logical and heart felt postion that is opposite of yours, attack someone/thing unrelated. Bravo for your courage!

I applaud Rep. Jackie Speier for having the courage and conviction to stand up not only to speak her mind but to also echo the words that many of us have been wondering. We want JOBS!
