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: something that is never mentioned
Well you need to read some more then. Your emotions cloud your reasoning. If in fact you have an education, then you know (particularly as an ethicist) that uncontrolled outbursts are a sure sign of a hidden problem. I'm guessing involvement in an abortion. But maybe not. But surely, if that's the case, you'd have to agree that your ability ...

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. Are you then in agreement that abortion is wrong in subsequent trimesters? Here's a link about fetal development ...

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. But they're not really planning parenthood for anybody. Interestingly enough, the Crisis Pregnancy Centers who DO promote adoption are on PP's target list. ...

Re: something that is never mentioned
Sorry, your ten cents, isn't worth a nickel. Honest Pro-life folks see that women who are faced with a crisis pregnancy need the greatest compassion of all. Pro-Choice folks don't realize that she's not offered any choice at all except killing her child. Planned Parenthood doesn't offer (or want to offer) information about adoption options, ...

Palin Teenage Pregancy.
What no one is considering here is the possibility that this young girl could have been coerced/pressured by her boyfriend into having unprotected sex. She also could have been raped/incested. And given her mother's zero tolerance stance on abortion, that would mean that the possibility exists that this young girl is being forced by her mother to ...

Palin's Choice
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 ...

Just another man writing about how it's "her fault too"
This article is cliche and creepy, and I'm surprised and ashamed to see it in a left-leaning publication. Why do we need another argument by another man shifting blame onto victims, and as he specifies, young girls? Young girls are eroticized enough in pop culture - Slate shouldn't be adding to it. The laws that are currently in place are ...
