  1. Do you understand anything about girls growing up in third world countries?
  2. What does this have to do with the GGR? Honestly Hal.
  3. "By cutting off funding for family planning, there is actually in increase in unintended pregnancies which actually leads to an increase in abortions," said Seema Jalan, executive director of the Universal Access Project. "When the gag rule was last in place under the Bush administration, it had profound implications, particularly for the poorest girls and women around the world," Jalan said. "Some of the most important providers of family planning services end up losing their U.S .funding for even their work on family planning, on maternal health, HIV testing and counseling, provision of contraceptives, et cetera. So we see the poorest girls and women around the world losing their access to basic health care." http://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/global-gag-rule-will-cause-more-abortions-not-fewer-groups-n711471 If you read the article, you might gain some insight into women's reproduction issues.
  4. What the heck are you talking about?
  5. Do you understand the impact to clinics around the world, especially in third world countries when this 'Global Gag Rule' is reinstated? Go back and read the links or view the video that has been posted in this thread. We can see that you don't view these sources provided to you so really, there is nothing more to explain to you. If you were to understand the GGR, then you would understand how unsafe abortions will increase, among other devastating things.
  6. You are missing the point. Even when it's illegal, abortions are still in high demand. Why do you resort to pettiness?
  7. The embryo is not loved, it is an unwanted embryo taking over a woman's body. It's a woman's choice to do whatever she wants with her body.
  8. Right, so women are punished for having sex but it's ok to destroy an IVF embryo.
  9. The demand for abortions will never go away and when women have to resort to back alley abortions, many will die. If a woman is allowed an abortion only if her life is at risk, it makes complete sense to offer a safe abortion by request. Do you not think a woman's life should be saved before an embryo? The follow stats from the WHO: 21.6 million women experience an unsafe abortion worldwide each year; 18.5 million of these occur in developing countries 47 000 women die from complications of unsafe abortion each year. Deaths due to unsafe abortion remain close to 13% of all maternal deaths.
  10. And he's giving executive orders in a chaotic, unorganized fashion. Will be interesting to see how successful these executive orders become.
  11. Why don't you care about embryos from IVF clinics? "The disparity between how the law treats abortion patients and IVF patients reveals an ugly truth about abortion restrictions: that they are often less about protecting life than about controlling women’s bodies. Both IVF and abortion involve the destruction of fertilized eggs that could potentially develop into people. But only abortion concerns women who have had sex that they don’t want to lead to childbirth. Abortion restrictions use unwanted pregnancy as a punishment for “irresponsible sex” and remind women of the consequences of being unchaste: If you didn’t want to endure a mandatory vaginal ultrasound , you shouldn’t have had sex in the first place ." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/fertility-clinics-destroy-embryos-all-the-time-why-arent-conservatives-after-them/2015/08/13/be06e852-4128-11e5-8e7d-9c033e6745d8_story.html?utm_term=.8c1dd0ccc158
  12. The number of abortions being performed when this rule has been reinstated has not been reduced. The only thing Trump has done (and most likely to get back at the women marchers) is to endanger women's health, the healthy economy of third world countries, young girls raising unwanted children instead of receiving an education, the spread of HIV/AIDS, and deaths from back alley abortions. "There is no evidence that the global gag rule reduces abortion, according to Wendy Turnbull, PAI senior advisor. Instead, loss of funding from this punitive regulation eliminates access to contraceptives for more than 225 million women globally, greatly increasing the need for abortion. It also increases pregnancy-related deaths by about 289,000. How is that “pro-life?” http://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2017/01/25/trump-is-hell-bent-on-punishing-women-with-yuge-global-gag-rule/#6c6795e550ab
  13. What gives you the right to tell women what they can and can't protest?
  14. Trump and his men signing away women's reproductive rights.
  15. Watch the video and you will get a better grasp on the issues surrounding this. Seriously! LOL
  16. It has been explained to you and links have been provided. Here is a video so you don't have to read anything. Perhaps the men that surrounded Trump while he signed it, should have viewed this video first. http://pai.org/gag-rule/
  17. Why do you care whether women march or not. It's an individual choice and why do you attack the individual female speakers? That's something a nasty woman would do? Did you buy the T-shirt?
  18. Which poll are you referring to?
  19. Care to answer my post instead of using it to post something completely irrelevant?
  20. Choosing Trudeau over Trump "Whilst globally the tendency is to turn in on oneself, the EU and Canada are leading the way towards a world trading system that is open for business without compromising our values or way of life," the release said. "When it comes to trade, we're choosing Trudeau over Trump." http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ceta-brussels-trade-committee-vote-1.3949522
  21. I'm confused why there are no protests from the pro-life group outside IVF clinics. These clinics store embryos for implantation into a woman's uterus which is the exact same type of embryo that a woman would abort. However, when an IVF clinic is done with the embryo and it is no longer needed, it is thrown in the trash or donated for research.
  22. No you don't. You want to be spoon fed information.
  23. I posted a link above.
  24. Because it's physically impossible for men.
