A woman who does not want her pregnancy and chooses to have an abortion should not be condemned. She should be given other options that allow for the life of the child to be spared while relieving her of the burden of parenthood. Will attempting to shame these women be of any real use? No. It only alienates them. When a person has a tough choice to make, they aren’t very likely to listen to people who chastise them. But if you have a solution or are offering help of some kind, your words will be welcome.

He gets what he deserves. He should have keep his mouth shut.

At least he had an opinion which Republicans seems to lack. They vote in a block as a group. No individualism there.

I would argue his opposition was the true politicizing of life and that was the issue he held onto hoping to get something more from the deal. Isn’t it ironic that the day before he changed his vote from “no” to “yes” that his district was awarded two airports and several hundred thousand dollars in stimulus money for various projects?

I imagine that is purely coincidental and that the payoff had absolutely nothing to do with him changing his “values” and choosing to support this bill. Either support it or not, but don’t dare claim that the promise of an executive order was the icing on the cake and then turn around and make the comments he did on the floor of the House. Read the transcript of his speech, utterly reprehensible considering his prior stance and “commitment”.
