After they are taken care of, then you can use it on pregnant Democrats that disagree with you. And since that will not satisfy you, you will come up with new issues to remove people that disagree with you.

Was there a study done?<BR/><BR/>why would you assume that every evangelical pro-lifer (which i am) doesn't actually want to prevent abortions... of course we want real solutions. (i.e. greater number of adoptions to care for all of the un-aborted babies).<BR/><BR/>your little joke at the end about aborting more republican babies in the first half of the twentieth century is so inappropriate. if you take a serious look... & I mean a serious look at the procedure to kill a living baby in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd trimester, (most) would see...it is a purely awful thing to happen. These babies pain sensors aren't even developed which means the process of being murdered by a Dr. is equivalent to being tortured in the worst way. Farm animals in America have more rights to dying a fair & humane death, than babies in the womb who suffer trememdously no matter what procedure is used to kill them. <BR/>It's one thing when folk argue that abortion should be used in the case of rape & when the mother will die, etc. But it's another thing all together to simply use abortion as an option b/c you accidentally had sex & got pregnant & mommy & daddy will be mad at you....<BR/>or if you want to prevent future watergates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1145127824421182392006-04-15T14:03:00.000-05:002006-04-15T14:03:00.000-05:00Here's a thought: If we want to reduce the inciden...Here's a thought: If we want to reduce the incidence of abortion, why not form a commission to study the Netherlands? Their per capita abortion rate is like a fifth of ours. Why? Well, for starters, they are more educated that we are. Also, they have a tradition of openness regarding sexual matters, which we obviously don't. But more importantly, they have a true desire to actually reduce societal problems, regardless of which end of the political spectrum they occupy, whereas we just want to use societal problems as cannon fodder for short-term political gains every election cycle. This is why every candidate pledges to get tough on crime even though the crime rate is on a 30-year decline. It's the same fear tactic employed by Madison Avenue. You know - "He's cute, but that itch" - that type of stuff. Fear sells and it wins elections, too.Big Daddy Malcontenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725748546162709868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1145054395717887512006-04-14T17:39:00.000-05:002006-04-14T17:39:00.000-05:00The last thing the Right wants to do is really ove...The last thing the Right wants to do is really overturn Roe v. Wade. Once they do that, they lose the impetus for the evangelicals to rush to the polls en masse.

He's not alone in making that argument, but he talks a good pitch.<BR/><BR/>I agree with him, of course. But I wonder, why are these Americans so anti-sex? Surely our Puritan heritage has been diluted beyond all recognition by the passage of time and by millions of non-Puritan immigrants . . . right? What explains this fevered hatred of sex? <BR/><BR/>Perhaps it's just a control issue -- men controlling women -- but that pushes the question back a step. Why is feminism so weak here, compared to other parts of the Western world? And that makes me think that people like Robertson and Dobson really are American Mullahs. It's the only thing that makes any sense at all to me. We're seeing the logical outcome of, what? 20 years of radical fundamentalist revival?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1144964022384625952006-04-13T16:33:00.000-05:002006-04-13T16:33:00.000-05:00Shoot!

I wish the Democrats would say that publicly and stop pandering to the same kookiness that gives kids inaccurate information about contraception and objects to vaccines for HPV and HIV.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651455277401911296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1144895846732154872006-04-12T21:37:00.000-05:002006-04-12T21:37:00.000-05:00It's not about religion, it's about stupidity.
