You are wrong again. The point you folks have make has been repeated many times so there is no point in continuing that argument. My point of this thread was to say thank you to a State that's willing to stand up and fight for what it believes is a more efficient way to spend its dollars I'm looking forward to more threads from you highlighting government fiscal prudence. As am I

The hundreds of people who have been exonerated through new DNA evidence might beg to differ...
How about the men who voluntarily have unprotected sex with women to whom they're not married? Is that less icky?

Uh yeah - all this from the state that has the highest execution rate in the country . The Great State of Texas can kiss women's backsides on this one. Because until y'all eliminate the death penalty, I'm calling you out on your anti-abortion/pro-life stance: hypocrites. The two are not in anyway connected. The death penalty is only issued to the most heinous of murderers. The two are intimately connected. If you are truly pro-life, you don't believe in killing anything or anyone. You are consistent in your stance to preserve life (even if the murderer in question didn't). Anyone who says differently is not truly pro-life.

Pro this There are those who believe in corporal punishment but do not believe in the killing of an innocent child because it is inconvenient to give birth to the child. If you don't want the child, put it up for adoption. Very true! But please just don't call yourself (the "big you") a pro-lifer, because you're not . . .

The state is not trying to make it impossible to get an abortion that is of necessity. If you must have one to save your life, because you were raped (incest is rape), and the fetus has died, the majority of people in the state would support your right to do so. Birth Control is already provided for free. I do not understand why any woman would voluntarily have unprotected sex with a man who is not her husband. Do they not realize they are having sex with everyone else who's been with him? They are also having sex with everyone who's been with the others before him. Ewwww. By my estimate, a couple of my coworkers have now had sex with over 50% of the known world. I didn't get married until I was 33. There was no way i was saving myself for marriage, nor did I have any interest in a man who was saving himself for marriage.

Rick, why don't you just tell us what you want us to say?
You thanked Texas. BFD. Do we have to congratulate you on that or can we discuss other aspects of the original post topic?

Well as a taxpayer I would rather my tax dollars go to pay for an abortion than to help support an unwanted child that has been brought to term.
Waaaay cheaper.

I have no problem with what you say. I have a problem with being told what to say.

They are funding a clinic that performs abortions, not the actual abortions. My taxes pay for a lot of things that I may oppose, but that are LAWFUL. If I were a Texan I would now start fighting for the right to say exactly when and where my contributions can and cannot be used.

We all know that if men could get pregnant there would be a PP on every freaking corner and this whole discussion would be moot.
