You don't speak for all women No woman speaks for all women And even if all women held the same view that you espouse here, then all women would be wrong and it would be a sign they are not ready to make adult decisions for themselves. Fortunately, it's only liberals who think this way and not "women". The issue of personhood is a legitimate discussion and concern. If you cannot understand why anti-abortionist want to defend the rights of unborn children, then you have no right to expect them to respect the rights of any special interest group that you are championing. There does need to be a compromise on this from both sides. On one side, it is very clear that at some point before birth, the baby becomes an individual. On the other side, it is also pretty clear that a blastula isn't a thinking human being yet. If you are saying that women can't be expected to make a responsible decision in a reasonable amount of time, then they are clearly not responsible enough to expect equality in our society. That's a pretty sad statement that you are making about all women. If a woman misses two periods and she doesn't want to have a baby, then she needs to do make her decision in a timely manner. The other issue is again, a liberal issue. You believe that one person's need is another person's responsibility. If you are saying that women cannot take the responsibility to pay for their own reproductive health, then again, they have no right to expect equality in our society. No matter how much you believe it, no matter how many laws you get passed, no matter how much force you use to do it, you do not have the right to take my hard earned dollars and use it to pay for an irresponsible woman's abortion. If women want old white guys to keep out of the business of their bodies, then women need to keep their hands out of the wallets of old white guys. If women are taking financial responsibility for their reproductive health, it negates much of the interest that most old white guys would have in what she does with her sniz.

Lesbian Supervisor Allegedly Fired Male Gym Teacher Because He Was Heterosexual And Married Lesbian boss ‘fired me for being straight’By Julia Marsh December 18, 2013 \| 5:44pm Modal Trigger Gregory Kenney claims he was axed by Trinity athletic director Pat Krieger, inset, for being a straight, married dad.Photo: Victor Alcorn A married, heterosexual gym teacher at a tony Upper West Side private school was fired because his lesbian supervisor disapproved of his “traditional family status,” the canned teacher claims in a new Manhattan lawsuit. Gregory Kenney, 50, taught gym at the Trinity School on W. 91st St. for 16 years before he was let go in June 2012. Kenney, who lives with his wife and three young children in LI, says he was a well-liked employee at the elite institution that counts Truman Capote, Ivanka Trump and Eric Schneiderman as alumni, until a gay athletic director named Pat Krieger took over in 2009. Krieger allegedly forced him to coach three sports, even though his contract only required him to join two teams, according to his reverse discrimination suit. When he complained that the extra responsibilities interfered with his family obligations Krieger allegedly told him, “We all make choices,” the suit says. After Kenney told Krieger that he couldn’t keep working nights and weekends, she reported him to the headmaster “while a single, female teacher faced no scrutiny when she refused to coach a third season.” Kenney claims the allegedly biased athletic director “routinely favored other single, younger females without children and discriminated against [him] because of his gender, sexual orientation, ‘traditional family status,’ and age.” Modal TriggerKenney says he was fired because of his “traditional family status” from Trinity High School.Photo: Angel Chevrestt “He felt ostracized because of his family,” Kenney’s attorney, Steven Morelli told The Post in an interview. “He had been doing this for so many years and he certainly did the job well or they would have gotten rid of him a long time ago,” Morelli added. Kenney coached soccer, basketball and golf at Trinity, where tuition costs as much as $41,370 a year. “On at least one occasion Kenney was dissuaded from attending social events with his peers because he was a heterosexual, married male with children, who wouldn’t fit in with [Krieger’s] ‘culture.’” He says three other married coaches with young children were also sacked. Kenney was replaced by a gay female, according to court papers. Kenney, who has 7-year-old twins and a 9-year-old, is still looking for a new job. He’s seeking unspecified damages in the suit. A spokesman for Trinity did not immediately comment. http://nypost.com/2013/12/18/lesbian-boss-fired-teacher-over-traditional-family-suit/

"If any PP's require ultrasounds, you can bet it is because there are state laws making it a requirement (put in by old stupid white guys" you are an ignorant clueless liar, when you don't know something (which is 99% of the time) you just make up bullshit, sad little stupid man, your kids must be embarrassed. Planned Parenthood routinely attacks ultrasound legislation and its criticisms have taken many forms, including claims that ultrasound requirements are “medically unnecessary,” [ii] focus on “limiting access to health care,” [iii]and “intimidate women.” [iv] Each of these claims is false. But Planned Parenthood’s attempt to even argue them seems surreal and ridiculous considering that Planned Parenthood’s own internal policies require ultrasounds before abortions. Adrienne Schreiber, an official at Planned Parenthood, told Commentary Magazine in February 2012, “That’s just the medical standard” to perform an ultrasound before an abortion. [v] “To confirm the gestational age of the pregnancy, before any procedure is done, you do an ultrasound.” [vi] Ultrasounds serve the essential medical purpose of confirming the presence, location, and gestational age of a pregnancy. “The age and condition of the embryo or fetus is necessary to properly guide the physician in selection of the appropriate procedure to terminate the pregnancy.” [vii] Ultrasounds also help to diagnose ectopic pregnancies which, if left undiagnosed, can result in infertility or even fatal blood loss. The National Abortion Federation (NAF) lists “undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy” as one of “[t]he main complications” of chemical abortions. [viii]
