http://thinkprogress.org/health/201...deny-military-rape-victims-abortion-coverage/ Here's the letter they sent: http://naf.convio.net/site/DocServer/CWA_letter.pdf?docID=141&AddInterest=1081 Makes you wonder if these 'Concerned Women for America' were out there fighting for the country and found themselves raped, what tune they'd be singing. All military personnel should have access to full medical coverage including abortion services.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/dec/09/rape-us-military That's just a small piece of the article. It's absolutely sick that the military treats rape like this. I wouldn't mind some reform. This idea in particular sounds like a start: Emphasis mine. It's a (*)(*)(*)(*) shame the culture inside the military seems to allow this to continue.
I'm not for abortion but....Hey the good news is all the gays can (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) lick and fudge pack and even perform bestiality.
What does that have to do with the topic and why would gay people be the only ones performing bestiality? This is sick and an insult to all service members. Senators should be stepping down over this, but they won't. Everything will just keep moving along and no one will give a (*)(*)(*)(*) while these stupid ********s (*)(*)(*)(*) up (*)(*)(*)(*) for people for no god (*)(*)(*)(*) reason.
one unnatural act isn't far from another if you're just discussing what is unnatural. that's why Article 125 included both. "straight" folks pounding puppies just won't come out of the closet. not that there's anything wrong with unnatural acts as long as everyone involved is going along with it.
Of course they are, sick bastards. They don't care if a woman was brutally raped, all they care is whether or not she decided to abort the resulting blob of cells. Any rape victim should have the right to an abortion, including those women serving in the military.
Strange that I never saw anything on the news stations on this not even FOX, I wonder why that is, could it be that both Libs and Cons would be in major trouble over it, especially in an Election year.
So getting a BJ puts you only a step away from mating with a horse? The mouth was not made as a receptacle for another persons reproductive organ.
Wow, this comes as a real shock. The Senate turn it down? The same Senate with a Democratic majority. How can the Libs ever explain that screw up and it is a screw up. I don't agree with my party on their abortion stand. It's stupid. Almost as much as the Liberal stand of abortion rights right up to time of delivery.
Before addressing whether or not such cov erage should be allowed it would be interesting to hear how many such pregnancies occur. The article makes no mention of this and only parrots the same old debunked accustions and statistics. The 1 in 3 number for example. Even the article contradicts itself by saying rape is rampant with 1 in 3 women sexually assaulted as support for the RAMPANT claim. Sexual assault and rape are not the same and the claim is not supported by evidence. The claim that only 20% are assaulted is also unsupported as is the myth of a blame the victim culture.
I would consider myself as an anti-abortion activist, and I'm not a sick bastard. I agree that in all cases of rape, the woman should have the right to an abortion. And if she has medical coverage, it should cover it. I believe those that would write the letter linked in the OP are undermining anti-abortion activists with such lack of compassion. They only further polarize the issue, which isn't going to help solve our nation's, and soon to be the world's, problem with abortion for convenience and/or choice.
It wasn't voted on...likely it couldn't get the 60 votes needed for cloture. There are not 60 senate democrats, not sure the vote tally but I'd wager a majority of dems voted for it.
As a conservative I do not believe women who are raped should be denied an abortion. Especially in my profession where I see frequently pregnant 13-16 year olds that were abused by a family member.
As a conservative i don't think women should be in the military. If thy re too weak to defend themselves from the males in their unit how are they going to defend the country from foreign enemies who are males also?
What did you honestly expect from a bunch of angry old throwback Conservative men and their bluehair, 'Christian' wives?
You mean like this one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Litvyak Or these? http://mentalfloss.com/article/29219/11-women-warriors-world-war-ii Do you ever stop to think?
