Medieval

In response to Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., saying that it is "morally wrong to take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans to promote abortion around the world."...

So that means that it is "morally" correct to stop people that want to help funds like these from doing it from THEIR Taxpayer money? May I remind several extremists that what these groups promote are FACTS and OPTIONS? Should I remind them that if you step into such a clinic the first thing they will tell anyone is "don't do it" and "think carefully about your OPTIONS"?

I ask you, Mr. Pence, have you even stepped into one? Or is your "morally sound" way of thinking too far above doing that? Is it that you are omniscient and know everything? The desperation, the fear some of these people suffer through?

Bush administration extremists are just like the leader you followed: narrow-minded. You want things to remain stagnant, to prohibit people in dire need of information from getting it with your "Mexico City Policy". You want to make people believe that it is morally correct to forget their lives and futures in case of a rape pregnancy? Or create more of those fanatics that say "thank God I was raped"? true, not all the people that will go there will be ignorant or have taken all the precautions they needed, but it is hardly an excuse to forbid those that DO need assistance from getting it.

No wonder your Bush Administration went along so well with Mexico's PAN party of martyrs and "morally" superior who condemn information and self awareness as almost sins and promote nothing but blindly following the "morally" correct thing to do and mess up someone's life through no fault of their own.

Here is my comparison for you, Mr. Republican. Your policy of "non-abortion" reminds me of your prior administration's xenophobic attitudes using words that struck "terror" to the hearts of those that rather naively trusted you to have an informed opinion.

You think Americans are being forced to do this against their will? Well bottom line is, sir, that it was the same for those Americans that were forced not to do it according to their will. Your worries about the Tax Payers money are a childish attempt to attack a policy you don't like, you know perfectly well that it is not the dollar that leaves the hand of the "pro-life" that goes straight into the hands of those people.

Think about it when you say "Pro Life" too. Who's life are you referring to? An unwanted childs? Or the mother that doesn't have the means or job to support even herself much less a child? I guess you can always transform BOTH their deaths by starvation into a moving story about the "right choice".

In the end, it is their choice, not yours. And as much as you detest informed people as the church detested them in the middle ages, the fact is, it is not in your hands.
