Another Komen Exec Resigns

Every woman should have the right to chose what she does with her body and it's nobody's business except her and her doctor.

According to LJ's numbers, 61% of women would disagree with that statement of yours JSG, and I'm betting an equal or greater number of men.

According to my numbers, the 40% number was pulled out of someone's backside... (and noticeably UN-attributed...)

And 61% of them believe that access to abortion should be limited according to the numbers that you provided, with attribution, which means they would not agree with JSG's statement that abortion should remain only between a woman and her doctor. Is there something about that you failed to understand?

Yeah, we should have left it to the Gods. The problem is: which Gods?

Or, Republican lawmakers. Same difference.

So why can we not just kill our toddlers when they become an inconvenience? Morality?

Which, of course, has NOTHING to do with:

Among those who have left or already announced their intention of leaving are:

--Dr. Dara Richardson-Heron, CEO of Komen Greater NYC
--Christine McDonald, CEO Oregon and SW Washington affiliate
--Katrina McGhee, executive vice president and chief marketing officer
--Nancy Macgregor, vice president, global networks
--Joanna Newcomb, director of affiliate strategy and planning

and the fact that I hope more of the wackos-with-an-agenda get pushed out the door.

But thanks for playing.

Contraception and abortion both increase the chances of damage to a women's health, so if women's health is the issue, why would not supporting an operation which increases the likelihood of a woman's health being damaged be viewed as contrary to the mission of promoting women's health?

Bullsh*t... Both debunked a long time ago....But thanks for playing...

I hope more of the wackos-with-an-agenda get pushed out the door.

You honestly believe an abortion doesn't damage the woman's body at all?

Not all abortions are invasive...(RU-486 for one...) And yes, I believe that it's no more physiologically damaging than shoving a transvaginal probe up someone's vagina when she doesn't want it done, and it's not necessary.

I also believe that 99.999999% of the propaganda that is spewed on this and other forums is from the usual right-to-life extremists who have an agenda...

Post-abortion stress syndrome is a fraud

Tabloid headlines read: “Women succumb at alarming rate to post-abortion stress syndrome.” “Dramatic increase in incidents of breast cancer – suicide among women who have abortions.” There is not one shred of scientific evidence to back up any of these claims. The articles are authored by well-recognized anti-choice leaders intent upon instilling fear through lies.

Post-abortion stress syndrome (PAS) is not an official syndrome or diagnosis recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, or any other mainstream authority. Even such noted anti-choice advocates as President Reagan’s Surgeon General C. Everett Koop determined that there was insufficient evidence of trauma related to abortion. Psychological problems were “minuscule from a public health perspective.” The American Psychological Association has concluded that terminating an unwanted pregnancy poses no hazard to women’s mental health and that the predominant sensation following the termination of an unwanted pregnancy is relief. The only groups subscribing to the existence of PAS are the dozens of anti-choice organizations that have sprung up to produce literature about this fictitious ailment. They also manipulate statistics to fabricate relationships between breast cancer or suicide and abortion but cannot provide documentation.

This PAS approach is a direct assault on the choice movement. Since legal abortion is a safe surgical procedure David C. Reardon, director of the anti-choice Elliot Institute, and his allies have invented mental pain as a repercussion of abortion. Reardon trumpets a forceful anti-choice message: “Abortion hurts women.” He explains, “By demanding legal protection for women forced into unwanted abortions and greater rights for women to sue for post-abortion trauma, we force our opponents to side with us or to be exposed as defending the abortion industry at the expense of women.”
