I didn't know this, thanks.There was a Pew Report poll done in which voters, especially Independents, had soured on all of the Clinton scandals and wanted something fresh in office.

Horrible situation. What did the unborn human life do to get a death sentence? All you do is make another victim to the rape.
Don't see anyone blocking the doors there.
Don't see anyone suggesting the cutting of such programs.
So at the end of the day, punishing a rape victim by forcing her to carry to term, rather than terminate the pregnancy early, is the proper course of action. That's an awful lot to do to a child on the basis of a belief that even a small cluster of undifferentiated cells is as much of a human person as a developed fetus or post-born infant.
Republicans have been trying, in their desire to repeal the ACA and in their attempt to de-fund PP. The Trump administration has made it easier for employers to deny their employees access to birth control on the basis of religious or moral conviction--in other words, if an employer is opposed to birth control on religious or moral grounds, they will not be obligated to as part of the medical insurance offered at the company cover birth control.
Yes, there are people blocking the doors here.
I've heard too many "welfare queen" and "parasite" comments coming from conservatives to know this is false.
Actions like defunding Planned Parenthood and medical NGOs operating in third world nations has an extremely negative unintended impact. It reduces access to prenatal and post natal care, to sex education, to contraceptive information but most importantly it creates the sort of desperation that leads to dangerous unmedical abortions. There are proven ways of dramatically reducing the abortion rate if you are serious about it. Just remember that the most powerful abortifacient in this world is poverty.
Don't you remember the "hanging chads"? Bush won Florida by 537 votes.I am still very suspicious about that "slight margin".
It looks like the state of Washington is doing a good job.Family Planning and Birth Control - Parenthelp123
Texas started a similar program in 2015.It looks like the state of Washington is doing a good job.
So much to remember. As in two election workers having voting machines and ballots in their car trunks.Don't you remember the "hanging chads"? Bush won Florida by 537 votes.
What was illegal about the recount?So much to remember. As in two election workers having voting machines and ballots in their car trunks.
And Bush never being behind in the official count and illegal recount.
It started before the Sec State (FL) confirmed the official results. By the state law then, a contest to the election results can only happen after Sec State confirmation. You can't contest unconfirmed results.What was illegal about the recount?
The recount was mandated by Florida Election Code so it couldn't have been illegal. Regardless, Bush won Florida legitimately by a small margin.It started before the Sec State (FL) confirmed the official results. By the state law then, a contest to the election results can only happen after Sec State confirmation. You can't contest unconfirmed results.
Yet counties decided to conduct their own recounts and standards varied from county to county and in some cases precincts. Various groups sued for a recount of a vote yet to be official. The FL SCOTUS legislated from the bench in effect negating FL voting laws. That's why the case went to USSCOTUS.
Team Gore was hunting for enough votes by extra legal means to try and establish enough doubt.
He did not want to wait for the certified confirmed results because he knew that alone would be legal precedence enough and a mountain too high to overcome.
So it's your position we are not biologically human at conception or just a lesser form of human being? What arbitrary non biological point in gestation do we become humans?
The alternative is yes you do believe we have moral worth at conception but less than more developed human beings. A sub human category?
See the problem. Letting the 13 year old have an abortion makes two victims. At least from a Biblical and historic Christian position.
Show me someone blocked from going to a pharmacy to buy their own contraceptives?
What's false is your generalization bordering bigoted comment.
Personhood is a made up post modern relativist term.Biologically human? Yes, but then if you were to scrape some tissue from a person, that tissue sample would be biologically human as well. But we're dealing with concepts that go a bit further than simple genetic information; the question is a matter of human person-hood.
Yes, the historic Christian position is that abortion is wrong. No question, not challenging that.
There is no opinion in what I present. Only scientific fact. We become a new distinct human being at conception. Not opinion fact. Your opinion is a human at that stage of life is morally inferior to the pregnant woman. And you chose a vignette of a 13 year old who was raped which amounts to less than 1% of all abortions performed.But the question of when is there a human person is important. And I think there should be something a bit more substantial than mere opinion--no matter how dogmatic one is about said opinion--to hold together an argument in which one is forcing a child to have a child because she was raped. That there is no difference between a fertilized egg and a human fetus.
If men can have their viagra covered by insurance, should woman have their birth control covered as w
TaNaKh surely does address when human life begins.Let's be clear about something, the Bible doesn't say anything on this topic. If it did, then the question of human ensoulment would never have been a question in the history of the Church--but it was. The Bible doesn't answer this question. And Christian theologians and philosophers sought answers to the question, largely by looking to the philosophical tradition of the Greeks.

Check out any genealogy in Genesis and you will see a life is determined by the fathering "begat." A dad has one function in this process.
Not to mention the verses showing the understanding we are woven in the womb by God.
If you really want me to delve into this I'll ping you over at the debate abortion forum.
Plus @Vicomte13 has some detailed posts on conception and Genesis.

Congress just allowed the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provided low-cost health insurance to 9 million children, to expire.
If action is not taken soon to restore the funding, the effects will become obvious in schools across the country, with many of the children in the program unable to see a doctor for routine checkups, immunizations, visits when sick and other services.
The program, created under a 1997 law passed with bipartisan support during the administration of President Bill Clinton, provided coverage for children in families with low and moderate incomes as well as to pregnant women. It was instrumental in lowering the percentage of children who were uninsured from nearly 14 percent when it started to 4.5 percent in 2015. It was last reauthorized in 2015 and was due to be renewed by Sept. 30, 2017.
Amid unsuccessful efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the Republican-led Congress allowed the CHIP deadline to pass without action.
9 million kids get health insurance under CHIP. Congress just let it expire.
Pro-Life advocates are only too willing to lecture the rest of us about the sanctity of human life, only to respond with a "deafening silence" when the Republican dominated House and Senate, which they helped vote into office, allowed funding for the "Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)" to expire.
This program provided low-cost health insurance to 9 million of America's most vulnerable children, allowing for checkups, immunizations, visits when sick and other services which their parents might not otherwise been able to afford.
Given that these 9 million children are the result of mothers who decided to continue with full-term pregnancies instead of choosing to abort - Pro-life supporters are demonstrated a "strange" way of rewarding those who have followed their advice!
