Mwalimu -

I disagree with your faulty rationalizing that "many women resort to abortions because they cannot afford medical care."

The majority of women who resort to abortions do so because they have never learned to say the word "NO,' or because they immaturely refuse to say "NO!"

The product of an abortion is DEATH. Yes, each and every year, millions of babies are aborted in America, the supposed Land of the Free. Where is their RIGHT to be FREE?

You sure appear to be livid. Now why don't you display and direct that purported lividness by screaming "MURDER" whenever and wherever ABORTION reigns?

Maybe then the souls of the vast millions of infants who have been aborted will conclude that you are finally focused on the “Right Path.”

  Actually our current health care system encourages abortions. Many women resort to abortions because they cannot afford medical care. In addition, according to the 2009 CIA Factbook, available on Wikipedia,

our infant mortality rate is twice as high as the infant mortality rates of Sweden or France. According to a report by the CDC, much of this infant mortality rate is caused by inadequate prenatal care. According to Statesmaster.com, Washington DC has the highest infant mortality rate in the country, followed by the red states in the Bible belt. So while lobbyists in DC are giving Blue Dog Democrats and Republican congressmen bribery money (funded by your insurance premiums), babies are dying.

Why am I the only person in this country who is livid? Why isn't everyone else screaming "Murder." Because that's what we got on the Hill right now, a bunch of murders and baby-killers, who find nothing wrong with letting babies die as long as they get campaign contributions.

I really don't care whether our representatives are moderately conservative or moderately liberal, Republican, Democrat or Independent.  What I really want them to be is honestly conscience driven and disciplined in always seeking what they truly believe is in the best interests of the majority.  While they will readily say that is actually what they do, their actions constantly demonstrate something completely different, which too often is simply a placation of Special Interests and the few who strongly support them, including many who abuse the system, and then they just give an abundance of subterfuge to the majority.  If they could, with their different positions, sit down and responsibly and conscientiously debate the issues and come to mature compromises that sometimes lean towards moderately conservative and other times towards moderately liberal, that likely would give us the very best results.  The trouble is that their egos and loyalties just don't allow that to ever happen and what they say, ... well anyone would have to be totally naive and gullible to believe most of it.  The results they come up with far too often are packed full of irresponsible compromises or stubbornly pushed through terms that just benefit them and their supporters and cost the people greatly.  It isn't the differences in the details, as they offer, that are the stumbling blocks but rather their commitments and their egotistic competing for power that cause the problems.  The major part of the difficulty is the substantial support they need and their drive for personal gain, with both being heavily financially oriented and their total focus.  We really don't need to argue about the merits of different positions, we just need to take money out of politics and that would go a long way towards political reform and result in better government, otherwise, ... good luck!
