I'm trying to get the general Tea Party pro-life/anti-life stance figured out. Am I getting close?

Seems to me that it all comes down to money and what the Tea Party people don't want to pay for.

If a woman wants to have an abortion, the Tea Party people don't want any of their tax dollars to pay for it.

If the same woman wants to have the baby, but doesn't have the money or insurance to pay for the delivery Tea Party people don't want to pay for that either and the baby and mother can just go ahead and die for lack of "personal responsibility".

It doesn't really matter whether the baby and/or mother lives or dies as long as the Tea Party people don't lose any of their money on the deal.

Is that basically right?

    Yes. The baby dies because it lacks personal responsibility.

    It should have known better.

    ummmmm no.

    Personal responsibility in what type of society?

    In a society that encourages the welfare state, as we do now, than personal responsibility doesnt exactly exist, cause she KNOWS someone elses money is going to pay for it.

    In a society that does not have the welfare state nor do they encourage it, then personal responsibility entails that they understand the consequences of there not being funding for an abortion.

    It is not an argument whether someone should pay for this or not, because the answer based on FREEDOM, a person has a choice to pay for someones abortion, if they dont want to, no law can constitutionally make them.

    If someone lives in a society where abortion is not acceptable, and someone wants an abortion, tea partiers would pay for the DELIVERY, not an abortion. Theres a difference.

    If you ignore the idea that no one will pay for your abortion, you ignore at your own risk.

    That should be pretty easy logic to follow. If you believe abortion is murder, obviously you don't want your tax dollars funding it.

    And on the flip side, if a woman wants to have a baby, she should first secure a proper means of paying for it. Why should everyone have to pay for something you want? It's called personal responsibility. People should be allowed to have children if they want, but once you start putting the responsibility on others to pay for your baby, it begins infringing on those peoples rights.

    PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. If you can't understand that, then I can't help you.

    You lack the clarity of thought to understand. I hear that there is a Sponge Bob marathon this afternoon. Maybe you would be better suited trying to determine their sexual orientation.

    Yep, we are tired of paying for low moral sluts to have their demon spawn. How about she keeps her legs closed, damn, what a concept. I for one am sick of paying for deadbeatrs, get her sperm donor to pay and leave my wallet alone.
