A lot at stake for Wisconsin women

There's a lot at stake for Wisconsin women, and for those who love them, in November's election for governor.

Access to health care, family planning information, and even birth control may hang in the balance. If Republicans maintain control of both houses of the legislature and Mark Green becomes governor, it will be loony tune times every day.

No wonder Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin is focusing its efforts on reelection Gov. Jim Doyle, whose courageous vetoes have already stopped right-to-lifers fro turning back the calendar.

PPAW announced its endorsement of Doyle today, and unveiled an Internet video of Doyle discussing women's health issues as well as a direct mail piece contrasting Doyle and Green.

The campaign is laying the groundwork for a fall election in which anti-choice, anti-birth control advocates will find themselves on the defensive for a change. If voters learn where the pro-lifers really stand on some of these vital issues that have nothing to do with abortion, change will come.

What I think you mean to say was

"The campaign is laying the groundwork for a fall election in which anti-life, anti-personal responsibilty or anti-self control advocates will find themselves on the defensive for a change."

Another troll with nothing to say.

Wow, some expresses a different viewpoint and all you can come up with is calling them a troll with nothing to say.

Who's the one with nothing to say?

silent--"other side" had to say exactly what MOST of the Left does: name-calling.

Dad's right! After all, this isn't name calling:

"anti-life, anti-personal responsibilty or anti-self control advocates"

Why, exactly, should I respect the people who think my wife is a whore because we're using birth control?

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

Ha, ha, just kidding, you stupid hippie baby killers. Respect mah authoritah.

Dave, does your wife use abortion/murder as a form of birth control? I didn't see any reference to your wife, or anyone else's wife. As Poor Richard said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

It's pretty simple logic, Kate. Do try to follow along.

According to the infinitely wise deedub, being pro choice means advocating irresponsibility.

Why? Because abortion eliminates the punishment - children - for engaging in bad, promiscuous behavior.

Birth control also eliminates the consequence of children.

Therefore, in using birth control, Dave's wife must be seeking to engage in bad behavior.

Dave's wife is a slut. QED.

(Hell, it wouldn't even surprise me if she's in an orgasm cult.)

I'll give the benefit of the doubt to dad29 and silent e because they actually maintain blog sites with active commentary.

The others are still trolls and have no redeeming value.

As far as what you think of me ... I really couldn't care.

If Xoff name calls pro-lifers anti-choice I see no problem calling pro-choicers anti-life.

My wife is on birth control too and she's far from a slut(seriously, how on earth did you get the idea I was calling yours one?). We've made the personal responsible choice not to get pregnant at the this point in time. There are many ways to NOT get pregnant. Only one way to get pregnant. It's my personal opinion those getting abortion didn't make the CHOICES to prevent it in the 1st place (i.e. personal responsibilty) A woman has a CHOICE to not get pregnant in the 1st place. Now in the case of rape/health of the mother, I'm a pro-lifer who is ok with an abortion in this case. So stop stereotyping pro-lifers as religous zealots.

You can call me many things but a troll is not one.

When the anti-abortion forces begin supporting issues such as opposition to the death penalty and providing homes to ALL children in need, then we might call you pro-life.

It was the not-so-reverend Jerry Falwell who told women in his area that he (his church) would pay them to not abort. When asked if he would provide assistance after birth, the good reverend was silent and walked away.

You're right, it's not religious zealotry, it's fanaticism without remorse.

Well I know a lot of pro-lifers who are against the death penalty and don't follow Jerry Farwell. But feel free to continue to stereotype us and call us names.

Okey dokey, slut lover

(See, the "joke" is that you see someone who gets an abortion as a murderer. Your cohorts in the Forced Pregnancy Lobby believe just as strongly that contraception is "anti-life" - and that your wife is a slut.

Yet you have no objection to your wife "choosing" to do something that many believe is a mortal sin; in fact, you think it's an expression of responsibility. And you don't see the irony in that.

What a bizarre hash of fundamentalism and crypto-libertarianism.)

Okay deedub, thanks. Just like you guys stereotype us all as tinfoil hat wearing moonbats.

Oh, and the last part about calling us names. Cut it out. You sound like some 9-year old on the playground. Step out of your glass house.
