Women: A Parting Gift from Bush to You

I did it in Word Paint.

Typed the letters, inverted them, uploaded them to the photobucket account, posted 'em here.

Ah! I should be able to figure that out. Next question. How do you get Tink in the lower righthand corner of your siggy? I can't figure out how to move the SIGPIC around.

(Fair Use Excerpt)

Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his supporters are working to win over voters who want to ban or reduce abortions with a call for measures to help women keep their babies.

The party's platform supports the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling that made abortion legal and adds a twist, saying the party ``strongly'' backs a woman's decision to carry a pregnancy to term. The compromise language is the result of behind-the-scenes negotiations with abortion-rights groups and religious leaders on both sides of the issue.

The idea is to frame abortion as less of an either-or issue by discussing both the need to keep abortion legal and the desire to provide programs for expectant and new mothers. It may help Democrats woo evangelical Christians, a core Republican constituency that backed President George W. Bush by a margin of 77 percent in 2004.

``Voters that this will win over are those that are looking for an excuse to vote for Obama,'' said Joel Hunter, a Florida pastor who helped with the language and said he is a ``pro-life'' Republican. ``They just needed one signal that, if I vote for him, more babies can be saved...

This actually seems reasonable to me. Nobody likes aborton, but many of us see it as sometimes being the least bad of several courses of action. As long as it is clear that the ultimate choice is to be made by the girl who woman who is pregnant, I would have no problem with such a stance.

Um... where in the article is there evidence of double-speak? In what way does supporting a woman's decision to keep her baby contradict supporting her right to terminate her pregnancy, if that's her choice? :confused:

Despite the outrageous howling from both sides of the spectrum, poll after poll has shown that while Americans do not consider abortion a legitimate method of birth control they vehemently do support the right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy that is caused by rape or incest or which may endanger her life if taken to term. Where the "oops" factor enters the debate, I'm not sure but as one of my wisest pastors once commented, "Sometimes abortion is the least tragic alternative." This happens to be my position as well. No man has any right to impose a child on any woman. Additionally, women should have every possible method of avoiding pregnancy available to them. This is a non-negotiable position.

And I think 'morning after pills' are just fine as well, though I have a very low opinion of any man who enters into a potentially sexual situation without providing his own supply of condoms.
