I believe the link for The Breast Cancer Prevention Institute may be www.bcpinstitute.org instead of .com in case anyone else has trouble accessing it as I did.

I used to believe in "My body, my choice." Years ago. And I realized today that particular motto is a lie, a misnomer. If a woman wants to damage her own body or to kill herself, that may be tragic, but it's not only her body we're talking about here. She's not so much harming her body, as the body of another person now living inside her. My rights end when they infringe on the rights of another, including a person's right to continue to exist on this planet.

Thanks for writing. I found your comment about the 'woman's right to choose' really interesting If you believe in the right to choose that mantra or slogan should go for all of us and certainly you wouldn't limit a "choice" that involves three people . So if we take your statement at face value your entire idea of real choice goes out right the window and makes no sense, especially not for the child and the father who are also have a right to choose for themselves as it's their life or a big part of their life that's directly impacted.

Certainly you're not so barbaric to believe that killing people is the answer to our tax problems. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that no one is that cruel and cold. But that is actually what you are saying. Maybe you never thought of adoption. That's a win win for everyone; the mother can avoid the horrible experience of an abortion, the child gets to live, the father knows his child has life, and a family embraces a child all without costing us a dime. Everybody wins.

Also I am surprised that you are not aware of the hundreds of millions of tax dollars given to Planned Parenthood each year; to the tune of 300 million dollars in federal dollars. Regarding welfare, it is actually the Pregnancy Resource Centers who help the women who choose life. These centers don't accept any government handouts, help those in need with food, clothing, shelter, and parenting classes, etc. So no taxes dollars wasted there. I also wonder if you might be willing to look at what some who have experienced abortion have to say about it. Here is a great web site: www.silentnomoreawareness.org And speaking of tax dollars, you might be interested to know how much the fallout of abortion is costing us in terms of the long list of medical and psychological issues directly tied to post abortive men and women. Here is another great web site www.afterabortion.org

Thanks and God bless you and I am again I am hoping and praying that you really don't believe that killing people is the answer to our economic problems and that you really do believer in real choice for all involved and impacted by a major decision.

This was most helpful, thank you. It is so difficult today to separate the actual facts from the spon especially when much of the media outlets are involved in the spinnin g and not providing fair and balanced coverage which has eluded the publoic since the yellow journalism days from the beginning of print media.
BTW; The quote above is if is sounds too good to be true IT IS NOT TRUE, not the opposite. Everything needs to be read, parsed and thought through. Relying on sound bites when the commentators can rattle on is asking for confusion.

I believe that I heard you today on a talk show spewing your hatred for planned psrenthood regarding abortion.Your thinking re abortion is shortsighted. It is a woman's right to control her body.Abortion saves us taxpayers Billions of dollars by preventing welfare queens from ruling our lives and prevents future lawbreakers from destroying our country.It is worth the money spent totry to have a society where chidren are born for the right reason-because they are loved.
