Why don't women just get their men to throw them down a flight of stairs or up against a wall? It's basically a free abortion.
I don't see how. Assuming you vote for party and get proportional representation then each vote would count the same proportionally. The single member district as it is invalidates many votes by making them redundant while the above notion levels the playing field.
The plurality wins its proportional share versus dozens of rigged games.

RickyBobby and TX Repugs in a few years will be regretting they prevented Texas "Mexicans" from aborting all their babies.

Texas Abortion Bill Author In 2007: No Health Care For Unborn Because 'They're Not Born Yet'
Texas State Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R), the author of the radically anti-abortion bill making its way through the Texas Legislature this week, argued for hours on Tuesday that lawmakers should support her bill because of its strong protections for a person's "pre-born life."
The bill, HB 2, responds to "the definite death to the 70,000-plus babies who have been aborted in this state," Laubenberg said during remarks on the House floor. "HB 2 focuses on both the child and the woman."
But back in 2007, she made the case against treating the unborn as people -- at least, when it comes to qualifying for health care services.
During a House debate on an appropriations bill that year, Laubenberg, a staunch conservative, put forward an amendment that would require expectant mothers to wait three months before they could begin receiving prenatal and perinatal care under the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, a program that helps cover uninsured children in low-income families.
Laubenberg's amendment drew criticism from Democratic Rep. Rafael Anchia, who said the change would mean that more than 95,000 children, in utero, would be kicked out of the CHIP program. As the two sparred over whether that was true -- Anchia cited CHIP data from hospitals, Laubenberg alleged it was "misinformation" -- Anchia asked if Laubenberg recognized those in-utero babies as people.
"You do know, don't you, that these are U.S. citizens?" Anchia asked.
"But they're not born yet," Laubenberg said.

TEXAS WEIGHS BAN ON WOMEN
AUSTIN —Republican lawmakers in the Texas State Senate are proposing a precedent-setting new bill that would make it illegal for women to live in the state.
Senator Harland Dorrinson, one of the many pro-life lawmakers backing the woman ban, crafted his bill after witnessing Senator Wendy Davis’s filibuster an anti-abortion bill last month.
“That was our moment to say, ‘Enough is enough,’ ” he said. “This comes down to a choice between life and women, and we choose life.”
Senator Dorrinson said his bill would call for a twenty-foot woman-proof fence to be constructed along the borders of the state.
“Women are great at talking, but not at climbing,” he observed.
But another G.O.P. state senator, Cal Jamson, believes that the total ban on women goes “too far” and is proposing a less draconian bill that would allow some women to remain in the state as guest workers.
“Texas needs women to cook, clean, and cheerlead,” he said. “If they show that they can do those things and stay out of politics, there could be a pathway to citizenship.”

Finally the American College of OB/GYN Speaks Up
"•Legislative Interference: We must stand AGAINST legislative interference in the practice of medicine and the patient-physician relationship.
•Facts Are Important: We must stand FOR scientific integrity, providing legislators and the public with the latest scientific information on which to base their decisions. This is especially true when others are misrepresenting inaccurate information as “facts.”
•A Woman’s Right to Make Her Own Medical Decisions: We must stand FOR the rights of all women to make their own health care decisions in consultation with their physician and to have access to quality care without interference from politicians or other interests"
Here at last is the voice of reason being expressed, at least in the local Texas news media. If the reporters don't interview or talk shows hosts don't invite Jean A. Conry, MD, PhD, President of ACOG or Hal C Lawrence III, MD ACOG Executive Vice-President of ACOG on their shows, well, I would consider that media malpractice.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/0...?detail=email#
that's not the issue here, and you know it.
At the same time, however, a large majority (63 percent) say that the statement "decisions on abortion should be made by a woman and her doctor" comes closer to their opinion on abortion, while only 26 percent say "government has a right and obligation to pass restrictions on abortion."

Selective reading is awesome.
Oh just wait until he takes quotes from partisan sources and then claims they come from a place not so compromised.
Darrin is a sophist that is not above misrepresentation.

Texas Capitol Police Spend 1.5 Hours Confiscating Tampons, While Concealed Guns Are Welcomed
The Texas Department of Public Safety has released a brief statement confirming that “feminine hygiene products” were among the items that were “required to be discarded” before individuals could enter the Texas Capitol for a time Friday. The department says it also collected jars “suspected to contain” feces, urine, and paint. The department did not state why it stopped collecting items.
—
State troopers spent an hour and a half Friday confiscating tampons and sanitary pads, among other items, from Texans hoping to enter the public gallery to watch the final debate over HB 2, an omnibus anti-abortion bill that would shut down all but five abortion clinics in the state. The move meant that menstruating people would either have to refrain from entering the gallery, or do so without sanitary products.
Concealed handguns, however, were as welcome as ever—in fact, there’s a line in the Texas Capitol for anyone who wants to bypass security with a weapon.

Texas childbirth death rates rise
“It's about women's health,” say state Sen. Donna Campbell and other supporters of a controversial abortion restriction bill about their motivation for fighting to pass Senate Bill 5.
Then Texans should be made aware of the state's grimmest medical statistic: women are more likely to die from childbirth than from an abortion. That's according to a study published in the February 2012 issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology Medical Journal.
The study, conducted by Dr. David Grimes, a clinical professor in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, found that nationally the risk of death associated with a full-term pregnancy and delivery is 8.8 deaths per 100,000, while the risk of death linked to legal abortion is 0.6 deaths per 100,000 women. That means a woman carrying a baby to term is 14 times more likely to die than a woman who chooses to have a legal abortion.
In Texas, the statistics are worse. In 2011 Texas women died in childbirth at a rate of 24.63 per 100,000. “It's alarming,” said Dr. Donald Dudley, Obstetrician & Gynecologist at the UTHSC San Antonio.
Texas should be seeing only about 5 deaths per 100,000 said Dudley, and the present rate is comparable to a developing nation.
Childbirth morbidity is seen as the most sensitive indicator of the general health of a population, especially in urban conditions.
In the last legislative session, two bills were passed and signed into law by Gov. Rick Perry, forming a Texas Childhood Morbidity Task Force and creating levels of care designations for hospitals that provide neonatal and maternal services.
The task force will look for answers as to why giving birth in Texas is so deadly. Researchers say they already know: lack of prenatal care; women giving birth later in life; obesity; diabetes, and lack of access to quality lifelong health care. The task force will gather the data to back those observations up.
House Bill 1085 brings back to Texas childbirth mortality review boards that will look for answers into each mother's death. These review boards were commonplace in the United States 50 years ago. Today, they are again needed. An estimated 40 to 70 percent of the women's deaths during childbirth in Texas are preventable.
Dr. Lisa M. Hollier at Baylor College of Medicine Obstetrics & Gynecology helped lead the charge to pass the bills. She said she's excited the leaders of Texas are taking action but she also laments it could have happened two years ago in the previous legislative session. The bills were unable to get voted out of committee.
During the heated debates over a woman's right to choose whether to carry a pregnancy to term, we should also be debating if women have a right to a safe pregnancy and childbirth.

TX Repugs: as long as it's black and brown babies, high childbirth deaths no problem. TX is for white people.
Let me see. Its a choice between tossing an innocent defenseless baby in the trash, or asking women to not have a reckless sexual lifestyle.
Genocide or sex on demand. Decisions, decisions.
Genocide? That may be the stupidest thing said here today, and Avante has been prolific.
An invasive, unneccessary, forced procedure...hmm, sounds like abortion.
Yeah, women are forced into abortions all the time against their own will.
abortion necessary if the lady deems it necessary
abortion not forced if the lady agrees to it
you suck at analogies.
dbestpro is underrated as far as extremely re ed posters go
If only the anti-portion crowd equally GAF about a kid AFTER it was born.
TX doesn't even want to give poor women contraceptives or perinatal care, and are cutting or have cut all kinds of assistance to poor families. One estimate was that TX abortions will jump from 80K/year to 100K+/year.
You've made this idiotic statement before. You've been proven demonstrably wrong. You can stop saying it now.

North Carolina GOP’s Sneak Attack On Abortion Rights Unpopular With Voters
Only 8 percent of North Carolinians think sneaking abortion restrictions into bills regarding Sharia law and motorcycle safety is “appropriate,” according to a new PPP survey.
A whopping 80 percent say that their state’s Republicans’ recent efforts to limit abortion rights by adding restrictions to bills that had nothing to do with women’s health are “inappropriate.”
Only 17 percent believe that Sharia law is a “pressing state issue” in the first place.
(
Earlier this year, Republicans also considered a law establishing Christianity as the state’s official religion.
Republicans took control of both houses of the state legislature in 2010 for the first time in more than a century. Since Republican governor Pat McCrory took office in 2013, the legislature has passed and the governor has signed a flurry of some of the most extreme legislation in the nation.
