It was not my wish to comment further than the title, but I certainly invite comment from all my American brothers and sisters. Read, if you will; it's not long.

Thank you for sharing this. I am saddened to find she had such a difficult life.

Big Mike-it is shameful that we spend billions accommodating illegals ,especially the criminals, while one of our own has to go through such a trying life. I can understand why someone in her situation would not want the responsibility of raising a child. Some people get all the breaks while others seem to have to fight all the way. Let us hope President Trump can ease some of those burdens. When buying drugs is less expensive than buying a candy bar, something is amiss. America First !!!

She changed sides on the matter of abortion, and worked to end abortions for the last part of her life. I have known several women who had abortions and not one was the better person for it. One comitted suicide.

May she have NO rest! I hope that she is now seeing each child's face who was aborted because of her lies! If possible, she should be reincarnated to be aborted over and over again.... suffering dismemberment while in the womb--one incarnation for each life aborted!

Because of her lies? A woman could lie all she wanted and still have a right to control her body Pennylynn. She will suffer no more than god will be forced to suffer for all the spontaneous abortions he causes...

The case that came before the SCOTUS was because she said she was raped and was denied abortion in Texas. Roe v Wade came of that. She later admitted she in fact had not been raped and had in fact lied repeatedly under oath. The entire Roe v Wade case was based on her lie. She in fact had 3 children and gave them all up for adoption by age 22.

It would have been so much better all the way around had she never gotten pregnant.

Abortion is not birth control. It is not a simple exercise as too many think. It is a surgical procedure and even in the most sterile of conditions can result in the injury, loss of future child bearing capability, or death of the female.

A woman who submits herself to such a procedure instead of using easily available birth control is playing Russian Roulette with her health and life.

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

EXACTLY! Thank you and well said!

Boo_Boo Loc: Jellystone

A woman has control of her body.... and that means being responsible before conception. This woman caused so much pain and suffering... I stand by what I said... I hope her passing was not easy.... that she was aware of her own death.

PaulPisces Loc: San Francisco

Wow! Your words are about as nasty as they come. I hope when you meet St.Peter at the gates of Heaven (or whatever end game you visualize) he is kinder to you than your words are towards her. There's still time! Cast out your hateful heart for something at least a little more Christian!

PeterS

Rape has nothing to do with a woman's right to control her body--a woman has a right to an abortion no matter how she was impregnated. And who said anything about abortion being birth control? If they had used birth control she most likely wouldn't have needed an abortion.

And with regard to contraception--Colorado has been pushing contraception as much as they push pot and their abortion rates have dropped to among the lowest in the country. Amazing how effective contraception is in eliminating abortions....

You act like abortion didn't exist before RvW. The only thing that changed was after RvW we started counting. Before RvW no one cared...

PeterS

It's god who does the forgiving--we can be as nasty and vengeful as we like...

You have your opinions, I have mine. This woman was far worse than Hitler. It is estimated that Hitler killed 5 to 6 million.... by this woman's actions and lies she is responsible for the murder and dismemberment of over 58 million people. BTW.... I am not a Christian, I am a Jew and I have no visions of Pearly Gates or a Saint welcoming me. Each person will receive exactly what they earn. And, take your own advice.... it is not too late for you to change.

It requires being held responsible for your actions. As long as abortion is seen as the easy way out and doesn't require being responsible for your actions, abortion will be the choice for those with no control of themselves.

You sound like a neophyte on this matter.

Roe v Wade was based on the lie of alleged rape. Rape is a valid reason for abortion. But Roe v Wade did not legalize abortion for only rape or as a life saving procedure. Roe v Wade legalized abortion on demand for any reason. Built on a lie.

And you need to stop and think before you pop off because this issue is far more than a "feel good" piece of legislation. You are advocating for women to be able to force a physician to place her life at risk. Don't talk. Listen

There are many issues within the medical field you know nothing about. It violates a physician's oath to perform an abortion upon demand. I won't waste time explaining it to you. Suffice it to say that the majority of physicians object to placing a woman in jeopardy for a matter of her convenience.

It takes 2 to get a woman pregnant, usually, and it should take 2 to decide the fate of the unborn child. That case will be before the SCOTUS in time. Abortion law nullifies the father's rights. That will be dealt with soon.

To say the woman has all of the right to decide what to do with her "mistake" is to say if I load the bullet, I decide where to put it.
