It may interest you to know that 1 in 7 US soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq are women.
Not everyone realizes how different the Iraq war is for women than any other American war in history. More than 160,500 American female soldiers have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East since the war began in 2003, which means one in seven soldiers is a woman. Women now make up 15 percent of active duty forces, four times more than in the 1991 Gulf War. At least 450 women have been wounded in Iraq, and 71 have died — more female casualties and deaths than in the Korean, Vietnam and first Gulf Wars combined. And women are fighting in combat.
So what do these serving soldiers get from the crawling morons of the pro-life brigades?
“Thank you for your service”?
Oh no.
The last thing any loyal American would want would be for a US soldier serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, to be able to get full healthcare at the military base where she serves. The crawling morons at Secular Prolife regard it as their loyal American duty to force a serving soldier who needs an abortion, either offbase to deal with a foreign doctor, or to request emergency leave, fly home, and use her pay to get an abortion from a civilian doctor.
“Thank you for your service? Fuck you very much!” from pro-life Americans to serving soldiers in a war zone.
Ironically, they have this picture of a US soldier
illustrating their post about denying her healthcare. Wonder what’s it’s there for? Target practice?
Jesurgislac's Journal 
I’m pretty sure that the US military discharges people who have more than two children. I’m certain that you (male or female) have to have two or fewer children in order to enlist.
I’d like to wonder what those sorts of people think of this. It’s directly analogous to the myth of the “welfare queen” deliberately having kids to get more welfare. Removing someone from their job (or cutting welfare) if they have more children provides just about the biggest inducement to abortion that I can think of.

Rob F is full of shit.
People can thank you for your service and then call you a lying whore in the next breath. It’s meaningless—and if anybody knows, it’s me. I saved all the emails. If you’re liberal, it’s ‘fuck you and die’ from conservatives. The hippies, the queers, the outcasts—those are the ones who’ve backed me up and supported me. The ‘you babykiller you’ ones are far less commoon than the ‘you’re liberal, you MUST be lying’ ones.
And strangely enough, it’s the ultra patriotic ones who can’t match my service who accuse me most often of exaggerating or lying about it.
