  • BC is not as effective in overweight people

    I've watched this show before and noticed that many of the women are overweight and on BC. It annoys me that they never mention that BC is not as effective in overweight people. They are missing out on an opportunity to educate people and possibly prevent surprise more babies. Perhaps they do this to avoid making overweight people feel worse ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • The Cost Of Reckless Sexual Appetite

    The Abortion Cartell is making Billions on plaing their bets between a zipper vs a knife. Now the Cartell prospers in the same fashion as the Bank prospers when one bounces a check. In the end does it really matter if it was by accident or reckless disregard? If an honest mistake, one can call the Bank and pleads one's case for mercy. ...

  • Where is a discussion about Father's Rights?

    Up front allow me to say that I am a clear supporter of abortion rights under any and all circumstances. I was raised in a strongly feminist household and support equal rights for women and do not believe they have been achieved yet. And yet I was deeply troubled by the language Linda used in this article in its absolutism about it being only ...

  • Good for you!

      I agree with the concept of ''autonomy''; that's what's really at stake for women.  I'd like to make the controversial observation that five of the Supreme Court Justices--Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito--are Catholic. Catholicism forbids abortion. Should we consider limiting the number of members of a given religion that can be ...

Man the 90's sure ...

  • Have your Cake and Eat it Too

    Of the many problems plaguing America, this is one which I have the least sympathy and harshest judgement towards America. Abortion? Teen sex? Abstinence? Viagra? You decriminalized all sex outside of marriage. You made all sex a public choice. You virtually removed all moral, religious, and ethical standards surrounding sex, except consent. ...

  • Birth Control for 12 year olds...

    Here’s a question: If a 12-year-old gets a prescription for the pill so she can have sex with her 17-year-old boyfriend, is the school contributing to statutory rape? No one uses birth control to have sex. It's used to do what the name implies: control birth. Kids are going to have sex whether you like it or not, pill or no pill. Given that, ...

  • 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 ...
