CatherineM Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 In the beginning, I truly believed he was too inexperienced to be president. Later I thought that inexperience was leading him to take the advice of bad guys. Now I just want to puke when I see him on TV. Has any other president given a speech on Roe v. Wade in favor of it? I know Bush spoke out against it, but made a speech so pro in favor of it. I just can't remember it happening. I guess I could have blocked it out.

FutureSister2009 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If he doesn't want his daughters punished with babies than he punished his wife with two of them. He must not really love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandelynmarie Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Mr. President, what percentage of babies aborted are female????? What about their rights & dreams? They are daughters from the moment of conception. They have their own unique set of DNA seperate from Mom & Dad. They are not a diseased body part that needs torn out or destroyed!
