[The Hyde Amendment excludes abortion from the comprehensive health care services provided to low-income people by the federal government through Medicaid.]
To be honest I actually support the Hyde Amendment because women need to take responsibility for their own bodies and shouldn't ask the government for assistance in that regard. Plus it proves that many pro-choicers are blatantly hypocritical

Well, if we taught our children about contraception instead of 'sex is bad, horrible, and will mess up your life until you're married and then its wonderful' we might not need so many abortions. Ever think about that?
Blatantly hypocritical for refusing to discriminate between rich and poor! Wow, how's that work exactly?
And we all know that nobody would get an illegal abortion if they were denied it at the hospital, right?
Listen, make up your mind, is their bodies(mothers) or theirs(children)?. Besides, following your logic, let´s take off hospitals and social assistanship. Everybody should take responsibility of their own bodies.
I understand the first part of the comment, but that second part is a total mystery. How does the Hyde Amendment prove pro-choicers are hypocrites? Am I missing something? Hyde himself is pro-life...and inserted that rider as a means of denying abortion to the poor and minorities.
So Jessica actually is pro-choice, but only for those people who can afford abortions without state assistance. She must really love the poor, wanting them to multiply so much more than everyone else.
Maybe it's just me, but I think there's a difference between:
What about the menzzzz?! After all, those babies aren't produced solely by women! Where's the calls for males to take responsibility for their bodies by not sticking their dicks in everything female in sight that can't fight them off?
Oh, but I forgot, rape is a man's right and it shall never be infringed... especially by something so picayune as a woman's life!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
