condoms discriminate against men

they are uncomfortable and cost us the money. better: insist on anal or oral sex

Wow what an ass

Anal sex, hmm it's painful for most women and transmits diseases a whole lot easier and most women can't or won't be receptive too that unless they've already had quite a few orgasms. Most women aren't porn stars willing to fake it for money.

Oral sex, well she does all the work and gets nothing in return except some lazy man's tounge.

Sorry but while I know men don't like condoms that much, I suppose you like child support and HIV better. Oh and women buy condoms too.

Oh and what about gay men, are they discriminating against each other?

Taking away the right to an abortion is a means to an end not the end itself

The real purpose is to end, or make as bad as they can manage, non-procreative sex.

Democrats: Can you make the connection?

Poverty + restriction of choice = more abortions

Anything in there NOT sound like something Democrats could sell to voters? As a party, they're supposed to be concerned with the root social causes of poverty and the consequences of restricting access to contraception and abortion options; and everybody is again MORE abortions.

Present an important issue that favors the party in a serious context that voters understand? Wait a minute...!

Naw, it would never work.

I'm curious about the 57% who carry to term...

Does the survey break down into how many have the baby and get married, either before or right after delivery; how many have the baby and raise it on their own; how many release the child to adoptive or foster care?
