Comment on Santorum Doubles Down Against Prenatal Testing: Severe Birth Defects Might Lead To An Abortion by Tyler

I am for a womans right to choose and all that and basically despise every thing Santorum stands for, except this. I don’t like prenatal testing and how it means the majority of Down Syndrome potential babies will be aborted. What right do we have to determine Down Synodrome babies have less of a right to live. I think a woman has a right to choose whether or not she wants to have a baby, but I don’t believe parents have a right to pick and choose what that baby will be like. It is eugenics to say we want a society where only babies who are “normal” or fit some minumum IQ or other standards are born,and eugenics has been discredited for all time as Nazism.

Comment on New Virginia Personhood Laws Outlaw Birth Control – and Oh, Yeah – Can Penetrate Women Without Their Consent by Allison

I’d like to make one thing clear here, I was pregnant with full intention on keeping the baby. However, I ended up having Chorionic hematoma which caused me to miscarry in the third month of my pregnancy and I was required to have an abortion otherwise I could have died. Walking into the clinic I was harassed, threatened and even followed around town by people who thought I was killing a life when in all reality I wanted that baby and I was made to seem like a baby killer. My mother is also a good example. She miscarried at 6 months, had to have an abortion and was on bed rest for 3 months because if she sneezed she could have had a hemorrhage and died. I respect other people’s opinions but you really need to understand that there are other reasons women get seen at these clinics. And by the way, when I had my abortion I payed $200 for it out of my own pocket. I got help from absolutely no one. When you say your tax money funds these you’re wrong. Women AND men get seen at these clinics for a variety of things like getting tested for STD’s, that’s what your tax money goes to. Birth control is also used for women who are trying to conceive but cant and need to bring their hormone levels up, others use it for severe cramps that make them physically ill. Maybe instead of posting comments online you should research a little on these things.

If you want to get really inspired about the power of nonviolent direct action, watch the series “A Force More Powerful.” It came out a number of years ago from PBS and was a fantastic rendering of six successful nonviolent social change movements in history.

Comment on Everyone Will Be Marching April 28. But I’m Gonna Look Gooood! by John McAndrew

John McAndrew — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:49:55 +0000

Hi, Thomas. Thanks for trying to sign up. When I click on the links, “a march on April 28″ and “the website” they take me, and should take you, to this URL: http://www.wearewomenmarch.net/ . On that page should be a map of the US, where you click on your state for info about the march or marches there. If that doesn’t work, let me know what state you are in, and I will find and post the info for you here. You can also find info on marches in your state on Facebook. Look for “We Are Women March – [Your State].”

Good luck, thanks again, and let me know if this still doesn’t work.
