I'm sorry, the title of this post is quite funny.

"YA!"

Well... once again Barbara Boxer shows she's a "hard head". Epic Fail.

Hey, Ms. Boxer.. the difference is.. a living being doesn't die as a result of taking Viagra. In fact, a living being enjoys life more.

Oh please, who's the Epic Fail? Your ram-rodding of that joke called an amendment just fell 54-45 in the Senate.

As for a living being not dying after taking Viagra, I guess you haven't heard of the old people with heart conditions (diagnosed or otherwise) dropping dead after sex, have you?

CM, if conservatives/Republicans put as much energy into making sure that the fathers of children who would otherwise be aborted be present in the life of the child, and support the single mother, then I think your statement about a "living being dying" would find less resistance. But the fact is that (largely male) conservatives/(often)Republicans simple condemn abortion and then do nothing to deal with the consequences of single motherhood (or being the victim of incest or rape). In fact, conservatives/Republicans often actively try to take government benefits away from single mothers, so their wealthy supporters can avoid paying taxes and maintain a lifestyle that is destroying the earth.

I am not saying Barbara Boxer is not being simplistic here, but your point is no less simplistic.

The notion of the sanctity of human life in undermined by concepts such as that people who are not citizens of the United States should not have the rights of US citizens, or even rights at all, if we choose to classify them as some particular form of combatant. If you are not consistent in your treatment of humanity, you are cognitively dissonant.

Boxer and Maria are just misandrists.
CM, killing a baby/fetus/clump of cells/parasite is equal to older men being able to rape.
Since to feminists all heterosexual sex is rape.
