Not being a female, and having to deal with a pregnancy, I cannot agree with blanket condemnation of every female who has had an abortion.
The REAL ISSUE here is that the GOVERNMENT is involved in supporting and deciding who can and who can't have an abortion, and we have to pay for it all.
The government was supposed to remove all the illegal abortion clinics run by organized crime. Instead, they fund them, and helped them expand.
eh... I think Cecile is a ‘she’.
That's because they don't get paid for NOT doing an abortion.
Maybe. But consider this.
The female body generates breast milk in response to what factor?
If the body produces the breast milk, and it has no where to go, what happens to it?
Speaking of paying for it.
Why is it that the same source (the government using OUR money) that funds ABORTION, also funds TEACHING SEX to GRADE SCHOOL CHILDREN?
See post 44.
I'm sure that there are probably some small number of women that have had an abortion for other than convenience reasons, and I'm sure some of them are enduring their own special Hells for it. They really weren't the targets of my comment.
Another 350 million dollars to cut.
[Cecile is daughter of Ann Richardson former governor of TX]
Former Texas Governor Ann Richards Dies

excerpt..........
At Waco High, she met classmate David Richards, and at age 19, the high school sweethearts married and enrolled at Baylor University in Waco, where she received her undergraduate degree in 1954. They lived in Austin while Dave Richards attended law school at the University of Texas, and Ann Richards earned a teaching certificate and taught government at a junior high school.
After a year in Washington, where Dave Richards worked for the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, the couple moved to Dallas. Ms. Richards became a homemaker, although she stayed politically involved by volunteering on the gubernatorial campaigns of Henry B. Gonzalez and Ralph Yarborough, as well as Yarborough’s senatorial campaigns.
The Richards family, by now with four children, moved to Austin in 1969, where Ms. Richards continued to work for candidates, including the Texas House campaign of Sarah Weddington, a 25-year-old lawyer who had successfully argued the Roe v. Wade abortion rights case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Ms. Richards described Weddington as the first “out-and-out feminist activist” she had ever met, and in 1974 she became Weddington’s administrative assistant in the House.
She ran for office herself for the first time when she successfully challenged an incumbent Travis County commissioner in 1976. She was re-elected in 1980.
Smart and sassy, with a homespun charm that often disarmed her political foes, she was making a name for herself across Texas, but her personal life was in shambles. Her political involvement put a strain on her marriage, which ended in divorce, and she began drinking heavily. Her friends eventually forced her into rehabilitation, and she credited their intervention with saving her life and her political career.
In 1982, in a Democratic sweep of top offices, she was elected state treasurer. Receiving the most votes of any statewide candidate, she became the first woman elected to statewide office in Texas in 50 years. Columnist Molly Ivins, attributed her old friend’s success to her “hard hair.” She looked like a Republican, in other words. She was reelected in 1986.
...
Survivors include four children, Cecile Richards of New York City, Daniel Richards, Clark Richards and Ellen Richards all of Austin; and eight grandchildren.
Washington Post Staff Writer Joe Holley served as Ann Richard’s deputy press secretary while she was governor.
What is so different? For one, the increased availability and utilization of mammograms for everyone. The increased use of estrogen (like in birth control) has probably also contributed to the rise. Lots of women also use hormone replacement therapy and get additional hormone this way. A study a few years back satisfied most that there was a direct correlation between the two.
When a woman has an abortion, the body will stop producing the hormone. It's the same as would happen if they had stopped breast feeding. The milk is eventually reabsorbed by the body.
All epidemiological studies are flawed. I wouldn't discount a link, either.
If I did the math correctly, the price of a human child is slightly under 2000.00.
These people are sick.
I know I am sick at heart and soul that we as a nation allow this travesty.
I am also very angry that they use m tax money without my consent to fund this murder.
Instantly? What if she has the baby, but doesn't keep it?
It's the same as would happen if they had stopped breast feeding.
No it's not. If they didn't start breast feeding, they can't stop breast feeding. The process of nursing stimulates the production of chemicals in the mother's body, which may do other things we are not aware of.
The milk is eventually reabsorbed by the body.
That's an assumption. What if it doesn't ALL get absorbed, and in some cases ends up souring and hardening, and turning into a lumpy spot under the skin? I.E. What if breast tumors are remains of breast milk that didn't get absorbed?
It could even happen to mothers who breast feed their children. Not all 'equipment' in the human body functions as it was designed to. Especially in our current 'environment'.
HECK, for all we know, it could be BRAS that cause breast cancer.
Spot on!
What about the 324,008+ fewer citizens, parents, scientists, doctors, athletes, bakers, artists, etc., who have been sacrificed to the god of “choice”? Their would-be accomplishments, discoveries, cures and progeny will never see the light of day. What a horrific loss for humankind and how terribly, terribly sad!
May God help our nation.
