- There was a time that I agreed with the changes in the law allowing for abortion.
I no longer prescribe to abortion rights.
It's a personal story I have to tell,
Once long ago in a far away Galaxy, I fell in love with a young beautiful girl.
I thought she was in love with me as much. I was wrong.
In the time we had been together, she got pregnant.
As we were way too young to raise a child, I agreed to an abortion when she took me to meet some people at a place called Planned Parenthood.
We were in high school at the time going into our senior year.
Apparently she got pregnant again the following summer and she supposedly had a spontaneous abortion in the toilet...(it sickens me to think of it even today), she explained that it was way to young a fetus to be alive and we went home for care. She refused to go to the doctor.
Then later that year I busted her with another man, so the wedding was off, and she eloped with him after defaming my good name as a woman beater because I shoved her away while going for the man's throat.
He was at least a few years older than me and apparently had all the things necessary like 3 years of college, a good paying job, and was from a rich family...all a man should have to marry...So I was left high and dry.....
Years later I found out from her best friend that she had been cheating on me for a year and she was pregnant when she left me. She aborted the baby to marry the jerk.
Needless to say that I was devastated because of it, while I was recovering from life altering surgery....
For that reason I no longer support the so called right to choose.
I will never support it again.
That was 30 years ago....I recently seen them...He wound up in a wheelchair for life, somehow he got into an accident.
She has to clean his krap for as long as she is with him now.
I have never found love since.
Thats' my story, and I'd repeat it anytime I hear about abortion rights. - Reply to this comment

- Going for the man's throat? Defamed you as a "woman beater"? Serves you right since you obviously decided that violence was the way to deal with the problem. Also, since you obviously are ready to play the violence card if it suits you, I have to wonder if the beater charges are true. Sorry, no sympathy here.
- Yeah she turned my friends against me by telling them I beat her up which I did not do.
She was a drama queen.
And yeah violence at the time seemed quite appropriate. I didn't get the chance to hit him, if it wasn't for the football team that stood between us as he ran away like the coward he was then and was when I saw his lame azz years later in a wheelchair crying his heart out.
I dont want your sympathy, just an understanding that some things come at too high a price. One is abusing your so called rights. The other, ***** like her.
- Sorry, but if she was that self centered then she would have made your life a living nighmare. As far as going for his throat..Good for you!!! My ex husband had a girl friend & when we meet ( we where still married only split a few weeks) I let her get a good taste of my hand. It felt good.
- Well I have one just as tugging on the Heart in the opposite direction. The ISSUE is just that by the way. The courts NOW say WE the PEOPLE make the decision on our RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, not some Snake Oil Salesman on Sunday TV OR one of the "Family Values" Politician's. The ISSUE should be settled as American's, by a WIDE Margin feel exactly as I do. We have MUCH more pressing needs right now and I'm just tired of hearing people SAY they are going to stop something that was NEVER stopped in the beginning! NO ONE is going to STOP Abortions and it's time we moved on!
- This is another example of sotomayors selective use of precedent when it fits her personal point of view, otherwise she reserves the right to invoke her sense of "empathy" to do whatever she feels at the moment.

- It sure didn't sound that way to me. In fact her reasoning on a LOT of these issues are the SAME as those of how many Judges of the Highest Court in our Land have agreed with her. You people act like you didn't LOOSE the election or something! LOL Grow up for crying out loud, other people have opinions that are DIFFERENT from yours and to be honest I trust this Tough Lady from New York to do the right thing BEFORE I'd give a Racist, FOR REAL, like Jeff Sessions a spot on ANY Court!

- No need to remove them. We'll just clean up the mess like us liberals always do and preserve the civil rights and freedoms of the American People.
But yes, this swiffer just isn't cutting it. ;)

- Why does her opinion matter on a settled law? cs4466, I'll help you mop up!

- Anybody got a mop for the floor in here to mop up the slavering drool from the anti abortionists that around bound to show up and start screaming, ranting and drooling all over the floor about how their religion and their god makes them fit to judge all these other people who do don't share their beliefs?
No? I have a swiffer right here but I may need some help. - Reply to this comment

- Sotomayor should not be approved because she is so naive or stupid to believe America's shame, Roe v Wade is "settled law." Only fools think that.
Even Constitutional Amendments have been repealed. 50 million have died since Roe v Wade, and no just society can ever allow such a holocaust to continue. It is just a matter of time before the tide turns.
- dowell100 you are the fool the question said the saw is decided as it stands or can you not read one or the other.
That said isn't that what the GOP have wanted is for them not to make law but to decide what the written law is about.
That could only mean to most of us that the GOP wants it to be their law but not the law of the land.
Sorry no sale.
- SpinningLiberals July 14, 2009 4:07 PM EDT, I'd just like to ask you why anyone who has ever had an HONEST thought to themselves would fall for garbage like you post. IF any of our Hispanic Citizens are out there you can rest assured this kind of person is welcome ONLY in the Confederate Party!
- What 'direct answer' did you want? No judge , or candidate for a judgeship, is going to tell you in advance how he or she would rule on a specific case, it would mean she had already decided before hearing any arguments! You are a 'typical American' who hasn't got a clue about how the judiciary works, or the importance of precedent and the concept of 'settled law'.
- Sotomayor should not be approved because she is so naive or stupid to believe America's shame, Roe v Wade is "settled law." Only fools think that.
