This Senate candidate who says that a woman can will herself to avoid pregnancy if raped is being advised by Degall.

Wow, who knew Dr. D had such a heavy influence in US politics.

I would hope that she would come to the determination that she didn't want to be a parent long before 35 weeks and 6 days....

Why?

Abortion wouldn't have changed this outcome.

Abortion would not have cured her cancer.

<quoted text>There is still the problem of just who in every town,county,and state would be qualified to make a decision over a woman's right to terminate for whatever reason. How would these people be chosen and who would control them? More questions than workable solutions!

If we had the question -yes or no- on a nationwide ballot, there would be no such problem. If yes, and a woman's right to an abortion is unassailable, no problem.
If no, and a woman's right to an abortion is nonexistent, no problem again.

Either we have the right to decide FOR OURSELVES that abortion is a recourse for unwanted pregnancy, or we don't. Period.

Currently, we do - but only up to a point.
Currently, we make exceptions to whether it's 'right' or 'wrong'.

Both are examples of blithering hypocrisy, and it's high time we state our position, without enshrining it in hypocrisy, on BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE.

Nor are you responsible for upkeep or maintenance.

Yep. Especially if you are uncertain as to how long you plan to stay, and in light of the fact that building equity is not exactly guaranteed, either.

And you're too stupid to realize that the doctors were afraid that they would be accused of performing an abortion, hence they withheld treatment.
Do you need someone to read STOP signs for you, dear?

Yes, what's your point and how would it effect any woman in this country? Like I said in the beginning, this third world backward country has nothing to do with abortion on demand in this country but you tried to make some correlation by posting the artcle.

First off, in what DELUSIONAL world do you live in that the Dominican Republic is a "backwards third world country", and secondly, its not a comparison to America, its a comparison to the extremist freaks like you that inhabit the anti-choice movement around the world, who would LIKE to legislate views like this INTO American law.
I see you were off to playing stupid very early today Inkstain.

Have you not read my posts where I said the gorl should have been treated for her cancer immediately regardless of her pregnancy.

Now go back under your rock.

I also believe if a woman wants an abortion at 35 weeks and 6 days, she should be able to get one legally - if she's that determined not to be a mother, she'd make a terrible one. Further, I believe that there needs to be an unequivocal determination on the part of the people, EITHER that the state has an interest in the fetus which trumps the woman's, OR that abortion is a woman's choice, a legal medical procedure, and enjoys equal protection under the law. And then maybe we can move the hell ON with our lives, and quit worrying about somebody else's abortion.

Those nihilistic tyrants could just as easily have a hysterectomy, that way they couldn't have any victims to kill, or a place to kill their victims.

Ink, treatment was deliberately withheld for weeks only BECAUSE she was pregnant. Perhaps it would have not made any difference in the outcome - guess we'll never know now.

What really bothers me is that based on research - chemo in the first tri will likely not interfere with a pregnancy. Sad.

It's inevitable. There just aren't enough writers to provide plots, scripts, etc, for the hundreds of channels out there. People want all these channels and something has to fill the time.

Syfy has become embarrassing. I stopped watching pretty much when they started the wrestling and the bad "original presentations", most of which were just direct-to-market crap.

I do like some competition show, mostly "Chopped" and other cooking shows. And I admit to a soft spot for "world's dumbest" because it's practically a textbook on the lack of thought mot people put into things.

Oh, yes! I forgot! I love Ghost Hunters! Syfy (formerly SciFi) uesd to be much better, I agree. I get frustrated when I see a wrestling marathon has been programmed on it. I mean, wrestling? really?! LOL!
I've never seen Pawn Stars or the Exterminator show. It's weird how so many new shows are "reality". Kind of sad, really.

The few times I have seen partts of these hows, the thing that struck me is tha the mothers involved in this tend to be, let's say, unattractive. Every one of those women should be forced to watch "Gypsy", about gyspy rose lee and how her mother pushed her into stripping because of her need to live vicariously through her kids.

Hey, it's fine for little girls (and boys!) to play pretend. But these awful shows exploit these girls. It teaches them to sell their bodies, and that they aren't perfectly beautiful just the way they are :(

In this country - some believe that rapist sperm is automatically rejected by a woman's body...

What were you saying about third world and backward?

Yes, I know what you mean about those horrid "original movies."

You just reminded me of another show I find somewhat intriguing: 1000 Ways to Die, on Spike TV. Inevitably, the people who die are drunk, high, moronic, or a combination of all 3. Educational, indeed.

If the pregnancy had been terminated, the chemo might have had a better chance of working. Pregnancy takes a toll on the body, and thqat toll is magnified when the woman is already ill. Combined with the time the doctors procrastinated, there might have been a different outcome.

Yes as I have said many times, they should have treated her cancer.

Or you could just mind your own goddamned business. Ever tried that?

Scary, isn't it?

Then you have Steve King, a representative from Iowa:

http://now.msn.com/rep-steve-king-of-iowa-say...

You have these ignorant, uninformed men who don't see anything wrong with their telling women and girls what to do with their pregnancies, even if they themselves don't even know how the human body functions AND have no clue as to the actual statistics and harsh realities.

Backwards ---> all the way back to the cave, apparently.

That's another excellent show, full of teachable moments.
