  • Re: Lots of ways to be pro-life

    I agree, and after watching last night's debate, I have to confess that I'm a bit surprised that there's been so little attention paid to Senator McCain's statement that abortion being allowed when the health of the mother is in danger is ''extreme'' and ''pro-abortion''. To me, this is a huge slap in the face of women everywhere. Senator ...

  • The final debate

    Ladies: I have to confess that I'm a bit surprised that none of you have addressed Senator McCain's statement that the stance that abortion be allowed when the health of the mother is in danger is ''extreme'' and ''pro-abortion''.

  • Questions for and Re: to Spiker

    Spiker, thanks for the response. I'm glad you're willing to discuss this with me. I think you raise some interesting points. I intend to clear up one point, and I have some questions for you as well. Then rather than go point by point I want to focus on four or five areas where I think you have shed light on the debate. If there is something ...

  • Re: Birth Control in Schools

    To begin, I think that the point made by Jannipur about how educating girls to say no to sex is a sexist behavior is well made. I also find that Antistokes' argument about other legitimate uses of the pill is too often forgotten in these sorts of debates. That your daughter goes on the pill doesn't mean that she's having sex. That said, I think ...
