		<description>As with most things Republican...it is about maximizing profit.  Banning abortion ensures a workforce of &quot;cheap&quot; labor...Without abortion, America&#039;s workforce will soon be like the massive workforce in China.  Currently, it is difficult for America to compete with China economically, since Chinese labor is so plentiful and inexpensive.  However, because China is now limiting it&#039;s population growth, the shoe may end up on the other foot.  Is this what we want?</description>

		<description>As with most things Republican....it is about money and cheap labor.  The rich 1% want to garner an American workforce equal to that of China&#039;s.   Eliminating abortion is an efficient way to do this.</description>

		<description>To get away from the &#039;soundbites&#039; on both sides of this issue and to put this &#039;platform&#039; into an objective topic...I just have this to say. As long as the GOP is so controlled by this &#039;element&#039; of the Party that wants to define &#039;life&#039; in thier own subjective terms and put the government in the position to &#039;dictate&#039; that position...the GOP will continue to be devisive, negative and will continue to deteriorate as a Party. Because this &#039;narrow minded&#039; look at &#039;choice&#039; and &#039;women&#039;s health rights&#039; is what will continue to lose them votes with not only women, but also the better educated voters in the middle.</description>

		<description>The GOP is simply the American Taliban!  No rights for anyone except the rights of the wealthy to acquire yet more wealth.  Everyone else can die, or bear rapists children.  I do not understand why the republicans have as much support as they do.  It is a sad commentary on American values.</description>

		<description>GOP are religious fanatics just like the Taliban &amp; al-Qaida just a deferent flavor. I am a constitution fanatic I believe in it more than I believe in GOD or GODS. Let the states decide not the federal government. I am for the right to choose. I like choses and if my state deems it wrong than all well but if the FEDS deem it wrong than they will impose their will on many states that say different and I consider that against the constitution. Dems are just stupid. Ron Paul 2012.</description>

		<description>LogicsGood------John D Rockefellers idea of generosity and giving was to walk in front of homeless people and throw a dime on the ground and watch them scramble for it. He found it amusing.</description>

		<description>It can’t be murder. It isn’t a person. A fertilized egg is not a person. An acorn is not a tree. A corn kernal is not a corn stalk. And a fertilized egg is not a person. It cannot achieve consciousness or self-awareness or exercise free will or survive on its own outside of the womb so it cannot be a person outside of the womb. If it cannot be a person outside of the womb it cannot be a person inside the womb. Now, let’s see you prove ensoulment occurs at coneption.
