My kudos to Alabama. I think that Alabama is on the right track. I'd like to see the other states follow suit. I'd like to see Canada follow suit. Canada only has Trudope.

When asked why there was no exemption for rape victims, the GOP sponsor of the bill explained that woman who have been raped will have access to an abortion -- up until the time she knows she pregnant! That's kind of like an auto dealer saying, "We'll fix your car for free -- up until the time you actually know there's a problem with your vehicle."

s**t like that makes my head hurt!

If men don't want any abortions to occur, all they have to do is quit messing around with women. Condoms can fail and so can birth control pills so it's better to keep their dicks to themselves just in case.

Good luck with that aspiration...even if you were to get through to their better judgement the biological urge is far too strong. Case in point

Well of course, my point is they should stay out of our business if they can't control their dick.

This is the kind of nonsense that undermines the pro-life argument. Trying to make abortion about personal responsibility is plain stupid. The only defensible argument for outlawing abortion is that abortion is killing a human life. In that case it should not matter whether that human life is a product of rape or not. We don't kill 5 year olds because their fathers were rapists.

In short, if you believe abortion is murder and it should be outlawed you should not have a rape exception, because murdering a child produced by rape is no more valid than murdering a child produced by love. If you don't believe abortion is murder than there's no reason to outlaw it in the first place.

Antrax, so you're perfectly fine with forcing a woman to deliver a child, even if she was raped by a close relative?

These Republican politicians obviously want Alabama to be known as the 'dumbsville' State.

Unfortunately, they were the dumbsville state long before this. Strangely enough, they were 47th in education.

(New Mexico was dead last, Massachusetts was #1)

Massachusetts is my favorite state to visit.

I've been to Alabama, but the only thing I remember is a car fire across the street. 8O

I've also been to Mississippi as a guest of someone who was Chinese! I think his ancestors came to build the Transcontinental Railroad. Real smart fellow.

It’s not really fair to judge them like that.Poor states have poor education systems,not really a chance for people to advance themselves.
