I wanted to comment on the previous post but I was unable, so here it is:

1 - WHO gets to decide if the conception in question was part of abuse? You, bman? Do you realize that, if I recall correctly, 3/4 of all rapes are not reported? Most women would rather suffer in silence, than be raped by the system again. Then what if, god forbid, she find herself pregnant. Under your scenario, it is likely that if she hadn't been to the police, I guess she would be stuck being reminded for 9 months and beyond of the violence and violation she suffered.

2 - What if contraception fails? I know I don't want to do without sex. What about you, bman?
The only form of birth control that is fool proof is abstence.

Abortion is and should continue to be a MEDICAL decision between the patient and her doctor. It is a hard enough decision on its own, a woman does not need the government sticking its nose any further than it already does into medicine. So bman, mind the affairs of your own body.

The unfair part is, a well off woman will always be able get an abortion, in the form of a valid medical proceedure call a D&C. Fact of life - the wealthy can always get what they want.

I spent a portion of my rainy morning at the farmer's market. I love getting there on Saturday mornings, taking in the sights and sounds and planning something healthy to eat for the weekend. This morning was not ideal - it was raining. Not bad enough to make me scurry for cover, but enough to get me damp between each stand. I'm casually looking at the produce when I get poked in the back. I jump, just to get poked again. I turn, to nearly lose an eye to a spike on an umbrella being carried by an obviously oblivious old bat. And she was gone before I could complain. As I continued shopping through out the market, I felt like I was running a gauntlet of unbrellas.

Come on give a girl a break! Pay attention to where you put that thing! Or you may wind up with it wedged, open, up your ass!

The past couple days have been quite hectic at work. Ben Franklin was so right that beer is proof that God loves us. Thanks for the cold one in my hand!

I had to call a billing department. They want me to give them money. I get put on hold. Not just any hold, this was the hold from hell. They had their announcement on continuous loop. "We appreciate you patience, we'll be with you shortly" BS. Followed by a very enthusiastic, bit too loud, jazz piano sniplet of music. Loop had to be max 1 min long. By the 8th time I wanted to smash the piano. Turn it down, make it longer, anything! But listening to that sniplet again and again and again made me want to scream. Then the kicker. Phone starts ringing, I'm like, here we go. . . . instead I get another message "Sorry we have more calls than our staff can handle, please leave a message." Why no give me that proclaimation 9 min earlier??? Before I got irritated with the stupid looping piano music?? ARRGG!
