Fascism & Roe Vs. Wade:

By Heather Goldsmith
Published/Last Modified on Monday, January 7, 2008 1:05 PM CST

Dear Editor: I was sitting at home alone the other day when my telephone rang, and some sort of automated voice-activated survey was asking residents of Cecil County whether they believed abortion should be legal in this country. Despite pressing the #9 button, as instructed for pro-choice, the robotic voice thanked me for being pro-life. So, I am writing this letter, publicly stating, for the record, not only do I believe abortion should always be legal in the United States, but actually encouraged, as a great way to reduce the surplus population. Religious fanatics and right-wing lunatics are pushing these backward-thinking programs because of that maggot, Bush, and his fundamentalist Jesus freaks. Can we allow the Christians, who have a worse reputation for bigotry than the Nazis, to dictate morality in a free country? There's more than just women's rights at stake here, and it's high time free thinkers tell these anti-abortion idiots, the lunatics from the religious right and Jesus -boy Bush, to stick it.

" I think that every women has the right to have an abortion. No, I dont think it's the only option but I am tired of seeing these babies in the system waiting for homes. Good homes! Especially, when some of these infants will never see a half decent Foster Home! So therefore, having abortion should be an option if that's somthing she feels is best for her!!!!!!! "

" IT WAS NOT MY DAUGHTERS FAULT BY ALL MEANS TO COME IN TO THIS WORLD, IT WAS MINE. I DIDNT CHOOSE TO GET PREGNANT BUT I CHOSE TO HAVE SEX ITS MY RESPONISBILITY AND EVERY OTHER WOMEN WHO CHOOSES TO HAVE SEX. SO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE THAT CHILD GIVE THEM CHANCE TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICE IN THE FUTURE. IF YOUR MOM MADE THE SAME CHOICE THAT YOU DID YOU WOULDNT BE HERE. DO YOU HATE LIFE SO MUCH YOU WANT TO TAKE IT FROM YOUR INNOCENT CHILD? "

" This is my second comment. I dont understand why, in this day and age, where babies can be brought to fire departments, hospitals and police stations, with no questions asked, babies need to be aborted. So the people who say they don't want the poor babies tortured, I dont buy it. Abortion is a very selfish act. Getting pregnant hasnt been immaculate in several thousand years. Since when is it okay to punish a child for the mothers mistakes? Adopt. Drop your baby off at a hospital and never look back for Gods Sake. But give this child a chance. "

" Mary was the Mother of Jesus. She was not married when Jesus was consieved by the HS. She was also 13 Yrs old. She could have said no. She was in the same position as most women today are when they are making those decisions. She said Yes! "

Abortion is a much bigger halicaust than what the jews went through. What about the Child's choice or your choice to having sex? "

Lady you really are warped. That's about as bad as saying, Marijuana does not harm, because it's a plant put on the earth by God.

" Who are you to judge someone's opinion about this. Freedom of speech is an american right so is abortion. It is a womans right to choose to have a kid or not. What about the women and young girls who are raped or a victim of incest. Should these women be forced to carry a child who is not wanted by anyone. And as for the god thing he's factitious. So feel free not to pray for me or my soul.
Pro-Choice is just that a womans choice. "

Michelle wrote on Jan 16, 2008 9:22 PM:

" Do you know what happens to most innocent babies that are born to mothers who dont want a child and cant have an abortion? Their "life" isn't any better than death.

I would rather not let people torture these poor babies with a short life of starvation, abuse, and neglect.

Carol Fruge wrote on Jan 16, 2008 2:01 PM:

" What options do these children have? Have the baby and drop out of school, go on welfare, live a misreable life or end the pregnancy and go on with their childhood. The reasons are varied and we should comfort these girls and women instead of judging them and making them feel ever worse than they already do. Terminating a pregnancy is never an easy thing. You all need to pratice what you preach. Jesus, above all else, was a very compassionate person, otherwise he would have never died for our sins. "

Carol Fruge wrote on Jan 16, 2008 1:56 PM:

" You all think a womans RIGHT to choose is wrong. Fine; don't abort. I, however, feel very comfortable knowing that I live in a country that does not restrict my rights. Personally, I do not know if I could ever go through with the procedure, however it is none of my business what another woman does to her body. I have been an RN for 4 years and have seen 11 and 12 year old girls pregnant. "

" Hey Astounded....what do you think a Methadone clininc is? A safe place to go and get methadone daily which if used correctly can help someone get off of herorine or other drugs. But if you look at past drug overdoses in our area methadone used with other drugs is the cause. Your body your mind your beliefs. Do you follow all of the rules of Christianity? Probably not. Here's one you broke...Thou shalt not judge. "

" Carol Fruge posted her message on January 13th. That was a Sunday, the Lord's Day! What blasphamy! May God have mercy on her soul and the souls of all those who believe as she does, particularly those who have expressed their perverted opinions on this page. "

" Assuming Carol Fruge is her real name and she is really an RN, she should never be allowed to work in any health care faciiity of any type at any time. We the people who pay for health care and insurance are ultimately her employers. Her opinions are murderous! "

Re: Carol Fruge wrote on Jan 16, 2008 1:07 AM:

" She is apallingly wrong, but she is correct in one respect, "This is America not communist Russia." I is not Communist China either. In those dictatorships women are FORCED to have abortions in order to limit the population. "

Astounded wrote on Jan 15, 2008 2:02 PM:

" You CANNOT be a Christian & be pro-choice-it's a total contradiction. If you truely believe in Christ & his teachings you know you cannot kill.Abortion is killing-ending a life-no matter how old or what stage the life is in-it's murder & that's completely against Christ's will.People who claim to be Pro-life Christians have no idea what true Christianity means.As for the argument that it will be done anyway "just like drugs" so why not safely in a medical facility-that's absurd-so are meth & coke clinics where you can do the drugs in a safe place if you od next? LUDACRIS!!!! "

" I didn't write the letter "Fascism & Roe Vs. Wade", Mr. Grimes did. As his secretary I post it to the Letters Sections of newspapers on behalf of the U.F.U. & sometimes discussion boards. Like the "Jack Grimes Statement 0f Candidacy" is part of our 2008 bid for the White House.

Though I'm a gothic witch now I was raised as a Jew. Sam McCoy who's the commander of our Storm Troopers is an Afro-American. Mr. Grimes, made it a Presidential Priority, for "Project Vote Smart" that, we adopt Hate-Laws. "

Another Carol wrote on Jan 15, 2008 7:18 AM:

" In my opinion abortion is wrong. The fetus is still a baby. It may be dependant on the mother, but so is a newborn baby to toddlers.
I as a teenager, did a report on abortion.
I remember seeing a video where in an abortion, a D&C, the baby pulled away, everytime the knife sliced.
babies that are born alive through saline method, are allowed to die afterwards.
People always gripe that others don't care about human beings, don't care about life in general, ..etc
What is being taught that a life can be extinguished because it is 'unwanted'. "

kathryn wrote on Jan 14, 2008 12:56 PM:

" Ask if me if I am pro choice? Sure. I am believe a woman has a right to choose whether or not she has sex, (with the exception of rape) whether or not she uses protection, and so on. Once there is life within you, I dont believe you have that right. I am a God fearing woman, but I am also 22, college educated, open minded, and believe in freedom- of religion, speech, and so on. Contrary to what pro-choicers think, we arent always ingnorant, close minded, relgious fanatics. Perhaps Heather should get her facts straight. "

Agree with Carol..... wrote on Jan 14, 2008 11:50 AM:

" I believe the same as Carol. My body my choice. There are too many choices that have been taken by our goventment butwhen it comes to our own bodies we should have the right to choose! I don't think circumstances should be taken into consideration, if this is what I choose then leave me alone. It will be available either way-illegal or not. just like drugs, people still do it. Why not have it done in a professional medical facility where is it safer for the Woman that has made a choice--her body her choice! "

Carol Fruge wrote on Jan 13, 2008 1:47 PM:

" I am a Christian and a RN and I am a registered Independent and I am pro-choice. My body my choice. No one on this board or anywhere else is going to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body. This is an extremly personal issue that a woman should only discuss with those closest to her and her physician. And why are you all blaming the woman for getting pregnant? We can not impregnant ourselves. Remember people of New Iberia...This is America not communist Russia in the 1960's. Get over it; its here to stay. "

Katie(both Christian and Republican) wrote on Jan 11, 2008 2:36 AM:

" We protect our children who have made it into the world from all of its perils, including murderers, because they cannot fend for themselves. A fetus, or 'mass of tissue' as you call it, is an unborn child just the same, with its own unique DNA. It is a life no matter how you try to get around it. Therefore to terminate that life is in fact murder. To make it legal anywhere does not serve as a means of justification it is still wrong. Other alternatives include adoption or just keeping your legs closed. "

This is a polical ploy wrote on Jan 10, 2008 3:05 PM:

" Heather's letter mentions Jackson Grimes. For those of you who don't know Jackson is the head of the Facist Party and is running for president. He is a rascist who wishes to abolish christianity and replace it Roman paganism. This is just a polical ploy. "

" i agree with you kay, but some of these kids running around with babies these days are heart breaking. i just donated ton of stuff to a place in baton rouge... teen age mothers with NOTHING, its so sad! i would feel for the child, why should they have to suffer, and these children are too selfish to give to adoption, cause they dont know what lies ahead! "

KayFu wrote on Jan 9, 2008 3:38 PM:

" This is heartbreaking!! Abortion is murder. If you are woman enough to get pregnant in the first place, then you should be woman enough to take your responsibilities. There are ways to prevent getting pregnant, and if you are too stupid to use protection, then you should not be able to commit murder. Abortions should be banned FOREVER!!!!! "

" Ugh, where else did I hear that expression, "reduce the surplus population"? Oh yes, in Dicken's "A Christmas Carol". Scrooge asked, "Aren't there prisons, aren't there workhouses?" When told that poor people will die of hunger, he said, "Let them die and reduce the surplus population!" "

You're a hot thinker wrote on Jan 7, 2008 10:34 PM:

" You are free to not be a Christian, your choice, but this country was founded on Christianity and the freedom to choose how you worship. The first judge was a Pastor. The first law book of the U.S. was the Bible. And though women have more rights today than ever before, they still don’t have the right to kill. One day there will be a price to be paid. I sure hope you like it hot. "

Have a blessed day! wrote on Jan 7, 2008 10:16 PM:

" Well, I noticed that you haven't volunteered to reduce the surplus population as you put it. You’re still here. To me, you’re part of the problem here in the U.S. Sex has a price tag, from pregnancies to incurable disease. Abortions won’t solve anything, just cause more problems. "

" The above a quote by Heather Goldsmith who previously contributed to the forum.

Wow!! What a great idea! So, I will throw away all other forms of birth-control (condoms, pills, iud, etc.) and just have an abortion each time I get knocked-up!! Wooo Hoooo!!! "
