Texas liberals shamefully protest Perry's measures to safeguard women's health

And how many in total? There were 50 clinics in PA in 2008. And they allow for funding for abortions in the case of rape, incest, or the health of the mother.

It wouldn't be a fine restaurant if it had dog crap in the meal. Please try harder.

 

Well done sir.

 

He didn't. It is your own personal belief that abortion is analogous to dog crap. Other people don't share that opinion and you don't get to force your opinion on anyone else.

 

point not made. It was your claim that it was a fine restaurant. You may not have much experience with fine dining, so I'll try and give you a break on this one.

 

PolitiFact Busts Texas Democratic Party Chair Lying About Late-Term Abortion Ban…



Fear mongering FAIL.

Via PolitiFact:http://www.politifact.com/texas/sta...josa/gilberto-hinojosa-texas-abortion-cancer/

The Texas Democratic Party sent out an email blast July 3, 2013, seeking signatures on a petition calling (ultimately without success) for hearings to be held around the state on a legislative measure tightening restrictions on abortion in Texas.

Signed by party chairman Gilberto Hinojosa, the letter said, “If this bill passes, someone living in El Paso would have to drive 550 miles each way to San Antonio for something as simple as cervical cancer screening at a clinic.”

House Bill 2, which a House committee approved the day Hinojosa’s email went out and was awaiting Senate consideration as we posted this article, would ban most abortions after 20 weeks and toughen standards for abortion clinics. Opponents have said a provision that clinics must upgrade to the standards of ambulatory surgical centers could lead 36 of 42 clinics that perform most Texas abortions to shut down. [...]

Our ruling

Hinojosa said that if the abortion legislation passed, an El Paso resident would have to make a 550-mile trip to San Antonio for simple services like a cervical cancer screening.

That’s not so; such services will continue to be available in El Paso, local experts say. This statement misses the mark so badly, it’s ridiculous. Pants on Fire!

They don't abort babies, they abort fetuses. You can tell because there are no officers of the law arresting them.

 

Nice attempt at using logic, but I bet they are dubious.

 

Texas Pro-Abortion Fanatic To Pro-Life Legislator: I Want To “Pummel His Face In”…



Classy stuff from Wendy Davis’ supporters, another pro-life Senator received emails saying they “hope your daughter is raped.”

Via LifeNews:http://www.lifenews.com/2013/07/12/...life-legislator-i-want-to-pummel-his-face-in/

The debate over the Texas Preborn Pain bill revealed the face of the abortion movement. On June 25th, the last day of the first called Special Session, abortion advocates caused a disturbance in the Senate chamber, resulting in the removal 75 protesters. As the midnight deadline to pass the bill approached, pro-abortion protesters violated every rule of decorum. Activist Eric Heggie tweeted, “They are voting right now! Only way to stop it is total chaos. Gotta rush the floor.” [...]

Ultimately, uproarious screaming from the unruly pro-abortion mob prevented the Texas Senate from finalizing the vote before the deadline of the first special session. As a result, Pro-Life champ Governor Rick Perry called a second special session for lawmakers to finish the business that Texans elected them to do.

Jon Oliver, a spokesman for Senator Donna Campbell, MD, (R-New Braunfels) reported the senator received threatening messages and emails from pro-abortion activists, “I hope you’re raped” and “I hope your daughter is raped!”

Other pro-life lawmakers also faced threats. Representative Jonathan Stickland (R-Bedford) received a tweet from a female protester saying she couldn’t wait to see the lawmaker so she could “pummel his face in.” He and a few other pro-life representatives stood on the Senate floor during the filibuster and were captive there until 1:30 a.m. because of the unpredictable crowd that occupied the Capitol outside the Senate chamber.

If we wanted to read a bunch of weasel zipper articles, we'd probably go to their website.

 

That's not deflecting in any way. You introduced the concept of life being precious. I showed many ways in which conservatives show they don't give a damn about life being precious.

Don't give me this methodology bull****. The basis for Obamacare is a conservative idea. Who the hell do you think you're kidding? Conservatives were for it then they were against because Obama pushed it.

Nobody wants people to die but conservatives continue to cut the funding and obstruct legislation to address these issues. Actions speak a lot louder than your lip service. I have never seen a conservative address the issue of infant mortality in any meaningful way. EVER. They're much more interested in having everyone be able to buy an assault rifle and letting companies pollute in the name of jobs than theyre Interested in this precious life idea. Why is that? Chopping down abortion doesn't cost any money but helping actual people who are born and struggling costs money. We're all about precious life. Prenatal care costs how much? Oh wait a minute.

Still waiting for the data. Emergency rooms certiny keep dataon why patients come in. Thanks. Anecdotal politically motivated stories aren't data. I'm sure we could drag people from all kinds of clinics and listen to their horror stories.

Again, you are deflecting attention on the subject at hand, abortion. Are you saying that you refuse to support this bill because you don't believe Republicans have done enough on other issues in the past? Are you not making a political point on the lives of the 50+ million humans aborted since 73?

As for the data, perhaps you missed the numerous ER doctors who testified that they are not required to report any such data and there are no such related questions in the survey they ARE required to fill out.

 

live stream, vote could happen today or tomorrow

Your whole thing on abortion is life is precious. Clearly that is not the case when it comes to conservative policy. That pretty much ends your argument.

I don't support the policy because all you're doing,much like with the voter id bill, is trying to make it more difficult to exercise what is a legal right without providing any non-anecdotal evidence that thereis a safety problem at abortion clinics. If ER doctors aren't required then require them. That's pretty straightforward. Come back when you have data that isn't subject to what you think is the case.

Again, you care much more for the 50 million aborted fetuses than you care for the actual people born, right now that suffer. Those 50million born children would be in horrible shape and conservatives would cease to give a damn about them just like they demonstrate they don't give a damn about people in need today.

If you really wanted to stop abortion you would provide education on this in school. You'd fund prenatal care and make it accessible to people that can't afford it. You would address poverty and education. What you'll do instead is do nothing and give us lip service on the fair tax because poor people not paying their fair share when billonaires pay a lower percentage than their secretaries is an important problem in America. You cease to recognize what a joke conservatism has become. If you spent half as much effort trying to solve problems for the actual living breathing people in his country you'd probably drastically cut the abortion rate. You can't solve problems with slogans.

 

Oh Texas, my Texas.

TX Police Force Women to Throw Out Tampons to Enter Senate Gallery, While Allowing Concealed Guns

Women are being forced to throw out tampons and maxi pads to enter the Senate gallery, which has been confirmed by DPS. That's right: menstruating women are being denied entry to the Senate gallery unless they throw out their supplies.

However, people with concealed handgun licenses are allowed to bypass long lines to enter the Gallery through the expedited CHL entrance, and per DPS, if a person has a CHL, they can take their gun into the gallery.
