Women in Texas seeking an abortion will now have a probe inserted into their vaginas and be forced to view a sonogram.
Making The Pill available OTC would prevent 220,000 abortions a year (http://bit.ly/gPgWk6). Where’s that emergency lifesaving bill?#txlege

Family Values:
Right Wing = having other people raise your kids, not talking about sex so they have no idea that when you have sex you have babies.
Normal = spending time with your kids so they learn what is morally right and wrong.

My insurance pays for Viagra but not birth control pills.

Any Wing – We all have a choice of how much time we spend with our kids and what we teach them. It has nothing to do with “Wing”.
You said “Right Wing = having other people raise your kids, not talking about sex so they have no idea that when you have sex you have babies.” Wow. I am a Right Wing mother who has sacrificed much to make sure my child was not raised by “other people”. I think there are a lot of “Right Wing” folks that sacrifice much to spend time with their kids. Spend time with your kid(s) and teach them well… or don’t. Please don’t make this a Wing issue.
Why is the government involved in this at all? Oh, that’s right, the government made abortion legal. I wonder what our Country and its People did before abortion was “invented” and legalized by our government . Oh, that right, they did the best they could. The babies were born and someone took care of them. It might have been the young parents, young mother, young father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, or an orphanage, but at least they had a chance.
Go ahead and dehumanize the taking of a life, protect the one taking it, and blame it on the government.

9:03, I do not know what 6:12 meant by other people raising Right-winger kids. I have not witnessed that.
But, I have to tell you that the rest of your comment is DEAD wrong and astoundingly ignorant!!!
Women have been having and giving themselves abortions since ancient times and many times the woman died. They knew they might die and they still did it. Think about the kind of desperation that might drive a woman to do such a thing? Or are you too self righteous to consider that?
And you are also wrong about other people taking care of the unwanted child. Man! Get out in the real world more!
Did you not see what I wrote or click the link to the study? If you can't understand the kind of desperation that drives abortion, maybe you can understand that 200,000 abortions per year would be prevented if women had easy access to birth control.
Maybe in your world you think birth control is easy to come by. Come take a walk with me–if you dare–and I'll show you a different world.
I can assure you that it is NOT a Left-winger who denies a woman birth control. It is not a Left-winger who allows insurance companies to cover Viagra and not birth control.

Oh that's right, Anon 9:03! Let's put more babies in orphanages where they can disappear to Singapore and "work" in the sex industry or get trafficked to slavery.
Oh that's right, we can let the churches run the orphanages because there's never any sexual abuse, rape or neglect that happens in connection with churches. None of those people ever abuse power or anything like that.
Oh that's right, it's all so simple. Someone will take care of those 200,000 babies per year that were born because the mothers did not have birth control. It's not like we have any homeless, neglected children who live in misery in this country or anything.
It's all so simple, that's right.
It's Saturday night, boys! Drink up, and, be sure to take your Viagra.

In the olden days women would use coat hangers in public bathrooms, or they would to to Mexico.
I don't think any of those things are safe.
It's like drugs, whether or not you 'let' people do them legally or not, they will do it anyways.
It's always a choice,
it's really not the devil.
