Re: something that is never mentioned
I had no doubt that some of you would dismiss the first source. That's why I arbitrarily picked it - Chapter One, Footnote One. However, this claim may ALSO be verified through Gallop. But more importantly, there are multiple sources - some I'm sure you wouldn't dismiss. Unless of course, you've already to decided to dismiss information from ...

Re: So sick of this.
Correction.... one point six million murders per year. Almost fifty million since Roe v. Wade. That's roughly 17% of our population. That's 1/6 of our population - young people who would be starting their own families now, paying taxes, buying houses and contributing to society that are missing. Yep, no issue is bigger than slaughtering 1.6 ...

Re: something that is never mentioned
HA! You've fallen for the hype that ''It's just a blob of tissue.'' of ''A bunch of cells.'' But let's just assume (for a moment) that this is true (as you think) during the first trimester.

Re: something that is never mentioned
Check your facts folks. PP does NOT encourage or promote adoption. IF they did ''Planned'' ''Parenthood'' would be a natural segway toward adoption and offer the services themselves.

I love the thought of women ascending to high office. While women haven't hit the executive office yet, many fine and talented woman have been in the Senate, Congress, and cabinet positions for decades. As a child of the 70s I myself am abundantly gifted with the benefits of the 70s woman's movement. But the thing that bothers me about Sara ...

This is what I find VERY annoying about Sarah Palin
As the parent of a special needs child it is moments like Sarah Palin being offered as a role-model that are truly exasperating. Let me start by saying being in this position is full of difficult choices. When I joined a local support group for parents I was told basically, one parent will HAVE TO stay home to take care of the child, and it's ...
