Joel Connelly has a follow-up to his earlier dispatch about Darcy Burner at Nutroots Nation. Burner:
"If you are a woman in this room, and statistically this is true for about one third of the women in this room, if you're a woman in this room who has had an abortion and is willing to come out about it, PLEASE STAND UP," Burner said in a voice that could open a wall safe.Ironically, there might have been even more women in the audience cheering Darcy on, but for the "Roe effect".

"Now, if you are willing to stand with every woman who is willing to come out about having had an abortion, please stand up," she told Netroots Nation. The result was a loud ovation with a few staying seated with quiet misgivings.
... in Rhode Island.

There is no way that 30% of all women have has an abortion. This was NOT a smart thing to say.

Posted by: Poppa on June 14, 2012 10:44 AMCongrats pro-borts.
I wonder how you look at yorselves in the mirror.
I wonder how you look to you children.... the ones not aborted... if there are any.
Yes, you pro-borts disgust me.
... In order to camouflage this stark, staring reality from the view of civilized, sentient beings made in the image of God, advocates fudge abortion's homicidal nature by emphasizing instead that it's first and foremost a solution to a problem.
... No argument for the abortion license has been more inflexible than that a woman's choice to terminate her unwanted child must remain shielded from all evaluation whatsoever.
Abortion proponents view a woman's "choice" as extending beyond herself even to disposal of the life of a born child who has survived a botched abortion. Obviously, a live infant can't be discounted any longer as just part of "a woman's body," nor be blamed, post partum, for being a threat to her life in childbirth. None of that matters. No circumstance can be allowed to nullify the woman's decree that the child be unmade.
The pro-abortion left isn't going to be able to straddle contradictory public positions that the government must be allowed to decide what constitutes a legitimate reason for a woman to be terminated from her job, but can't be allowed to decide what constitutes a legitimate reason for an (unborn) woman to be terminated from her existence.
Go ask your mommy why YOU weren't aborted - maybe you'll get a clue as to what to answer when your lucky abortion lottery child asks you proud and loud proborts the same question.
I'm glad I never have to be in your shoes.
Yes, you pro-borts disgust me.
That is not what Stephan said, nor what the comments said. Plus, Federal funds cannot be spent on abortion, so it is not an issue.
Posted by: Lionel Hutz Esq. on June 14, 2012 01:29 PMReally? You're sticking with that obvious LIE.
Planned Parenthood receives over 350 MILLION tax dollars EVERY YEAR. They do NOT set that money aside for mammograms they do not provide nor for anything else: they lump it into one great big budget of which includes their worst product: ABORTION.
Self deception is an ugly thing to behold, eh Lionel?
I bet you believe your Social Security is in a "lock box" too...
