Brinkman tries to ban abortion, again
An abortion rights group slammed state Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Mount Lookout, today for reintroducing legislation to make all abortions illegal in Ohio.
Kellie Copeland, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio, said Brinkman’s decision to resurrect his "unpopular and dangerous bill" banning abortion "reinforces that he is out-of-touch with Ohio mainstream values."
"In 2006, Ohio voters made clear they wanted a new direction for the choice debate by electing Gov. Ted Strickland who has pledged to veto any ban on abortion,” Copeland said. "Just as we did last year, pro-choice Ohioans will vocally oppose this bill.”
Last year, Brinkman sponsored a bill that would have made it a felony to perform abortions in Ohio. That bill died in committee.

Post a Comment*I didn't know NARAL was an anti-abortion group.
Either way, Brinkman should spend more time making sure he and his fellow Repugnicants are following the law and less time wiping his rear end with the Constitution.
Brinkman is an idiot.
Kellie Copeland is so typical of the fearmongering liberal left.
A challenge her to name a single case in Ohio where abortion was necessary to save the life of the mother or protect her from irreversible harm.
I guarantee she cannot find a single case.
Love him or hate him, Brinkman stands on principle and that is rare in a leader.
An anti-abortion group slammed state Rep. Tom Brinkman, R-Mount Lookout.....
NARAL would be a pro-abortion group. You might want to change that sentence.
Thank you to Representative Brinkman for looking out for all Ohioans, including the unborn! It's nice to see someone stay true to their word.
Don't worry libs. Murdering the unborn is alive and well in Strickland's Ohio, and will be for some time.
Thank you Brinkman! There are some people out there who feel that personal decisions such as abortion should be made by a woman, her family, and her doctor. But we know who really should be making that decision -- the government!
Thanks for speaking out for those of us who believe that the government needs to be making more of our personal decisions for us.
Wow, I'm glad that with all of the problems that Ohio is facing that Tom Brinkman is once again spending time on an issue that will really gain a lot of ground. All of his knee-jerk right wing bills always just sail through the state legislature.
I just love how they say they say "pro-choice". That sounds so positive. Everyone likes choices. But what ARE the choices? Let your baby live or kill your baby. Two people go into an abortion clinic but only one comes out alive.
Thank you Tom Brinkman for speaking up for those who have no voice.
Tom and I often disagree. But I respect his principled stand against the killing of human beings developing in the womb. Jefferson said it best--Americans have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
How Brinkman can consider himself a fiscal conservative when he routinely wastes time, money and resources pursuing pointless and unpassable legislation is beyond me.
His pro life agenda would invade on the rights of individuals and enslave women while, at the same time, squander tax dollars supporting the worst criminals in the state by not letting us execute them.

"....It's nice to see someone stay true to their word. 8:40 PM, July 10, 2007..."
This seams strange since, on the brink-man will be aborting the county jail tax initiative vote !
Seems the timing way off on everything !
We wonder how a pro-death candidate can come out with such bizarre behavior ?
He doesn't seem to want to save lives in IRAQ !
PATHETIC HYPOCRITE !
ENOUGH is ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
Maybe a bill calling for the ban of the sale of fetal tissue will smoke out some underlying intent of the pro- abortion crowd. How ‘bout it, Brinkman?
Once again the wRong wingnut html stalker strikes again !
Thanks for considering us your idols !
lol, lol, lol
PATHETIC !
HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
Two people go into an abortion clinic but only one comes out alive.
what a bunch of superstitous religious bullpucky. if you don't want or need an abortion then don't get one, otherwise stay out of peoples personal lives.
Kellie Copeland is so typical of the fearmongering liberal left.

There is a thing on the internets called the Google. Try googling maternal mortality and morbidity. Those are what you call the educated terminology whereby you get the scienticic reality-based information and not some bloviating right wing nut like Blackwell type information.
In the developed world, the maternal mortality ratio averages around 21 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births."
If I was a child I think if my pregnant mother had an acute case of preeclampsia I would like to keep my mom and lose the sibling I never met. But that's just me.
Anon 1:25-- How is that statement superstitious OR religious. It is biological fact.
By the 6th week of development, the child has a heartbeat-- it is unquestionably alive.
If one were to run a DNA test, the baby (just like you with your parents) would have half of the mother's DNA and half of the father's DNA. It is a separate human being.
Therefore-- 2 people go into the clinic (mother and child) and only one comes out alive (mother of a dead child)
No religion necessary, just biology
Defending the defenseless and innocent is not meddling in the personal lives of people. It's saving precious human life. I'm "pro-choice" up to the point of conception. From that point on I'm absolutely against killing the human being developing in the womb.
Tom Brinkman, Jean Schmidt, Geoff Davis, Michelle Schneider, John Boehner and Steve Chabot agree with me on this vital issue, and I'm grateful to each of them for their efforts on behalf of unborn human beings.
.
"...I'm absolutely against killing the human being..."
Unless, it is the killing ( for oil ) fields !
PATHETIC HYPOCRITE !
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !
I wish you right-wingers who want the government to have control over women's bodies would spend more time on this:
Hamilton County’s already poor adoption rate got worse last year when the number of children placed with new parents fell to its lowest level in years.
A report released this week found that the county’s Department of Job and Family Services placed 137 children with adoptive parents in 2006, or about 25 percent of those children eligible.
That’s a drop from 36 percent in 2005 and about half the rate of Ohio’s other large counties.
How many children have Tom Brinkman, Jean Schmidt, Geoff Davis, Michelle Schneider, John Boehner and Steve Chabot adopted? Or are they just self-serving hypocrites?
Do all of the anti-abortion people who profess to respect ALL "precious human life" really mean it?
My belief is that abortion is murder, but I also feel (again, on moral grounds) that the taking of ANY human life is murder. I am deeply troubled by the fact that so many of you who feel as I do about abortion are so narrowly focused on JUST abortion that you rail against terminating a pregnancy, but don't give any consideration to the moral imperative of preserving lives once born into the world. Killing in ALL its forms is certainly covered in God's commandment "Thou shalt not kill". Where are the loopholes? Does God allow the luxury of picking certain parts of that commandment to follow? Certainly not!
So, if you are going to protest the immorality of murdering a fetus, isn't short-sighted to not also protest the immorality of murder in all it's other forms as well? Murder has many different aspects: wars( especially for profit, as nearly all of ours have been), preventable starvation, preventable death from illness or disease, yes, even capital punishment because we are passing a judgement reserved to God Himself. After all is said and done, ending a human life at ANY age, except by accident, is still murder, and the moral consequences are the same whether you caused the death directly or passively permitted it to happen.
I truly feel that you are right in protesting abortion, but your scope is too confined .Enormous benefit to the whole of humankind can be achieved if you apply your zeal and determination to the wider fight.
So, how about it? How precious IS life to you?
hey, tnp - "Tom Brinkman, Jean Schmidt, Geoff Davis, Michelle Schneider, John Boehner and Steve Chabot" are playing you for a fool.
They know that they're not accountable to their constituents as long as they can count on a certain percentage voting robotically on this one issue. They're free to go about their business any way they please because your vote's in the bank.
And now here comes Brinkman dangling a shiny object in front of you... and you're falling for it... as always... just like you're supposed to.
The sixth Commandment (Exodus 20:13) is best translated "Thou Shalt not murder." Pro-lifers like me who oppose abortion but support the death penalty and the conduct of just war believe in defending the innocent and punishing the guilty, protecting the defenseless and vanquishing enemies in self-defense. We will never agree on these issues, and I suggest that we simply terminate this give and take while continuing to duke it out in the arena of politics.
tnp,
Very well put
Usefullidiot, thanks for your kind words. Kindness is a very rare commodity on this blog.
and on the seventh day tnp said:
i'm right and you're wrong. since you'll never agree with me, why don't you just go away...
and tnp saw that all was well.
Anonymous at 5:45 pm, 7/14, nope. Don't just go away. Stand and fight, just not uselessly on this blog. I'll be meeting you and every pro-abortion, cut and run socialist on the politics arena floor, and there we'll shed some verbal blood where it counts. Be there, you glib, irreligious twit, and I'll see ya.
TNP for President! Better yet, run for Brinkman's spot will ya? He's a bit incongruent with this bill...obviously trying to distract people from his COAST group's team up with pro-abortion Frontier PAC before throwing his 4th hat into the 2nd congressional race ring. He tried to say that other group members acted autonomously, but gave them a complete pass. I'll never vote for him again...for anything.
