There is a campaign getting started to "Draw The Line" and put an end to the campaign by Religious extremist to end abortion and treat women "like farm animals". Can Americans who support this Bill get it passed? That would be a glorious day now wouldn't it? I hope this will be the first of many lines drawn. This is as good as any place to start.
www.drawtheline.org I signed it. As they say "What are you waiting for?"

Never heard of "reproductive rights." What campaign are you referring to? |

| Ever hear of Roe vs Wade?
Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the United States, which was not legal at all in many states and was limited by law in others. |
In case you still might be in the dark, the Supreme Court effectively said all women have the right, based under the Fourteenth Amendment, to have an abortion in their first trimester of pregnancy and all existing states laws were invalidated by that decision. Also,State laws limiting such access during the second trimester were upheld only when the restrictions were for the purpose of protecting the health of the pregnant woman.(Not my words but from the first link above.) |
Do you not see that it is a right Baxter?
