Well, the citizens elect their congressmen.
Almost all the democrats are pro abortion.
Get a realistic grip on things.
President Bush has already had Barbara Walters and every newspaper in the country on his back over the SC Justice picks. I think the people are to blame.
Apparently, the majority are pro choice.
That's my point.
Unless the citizenry holds DC accountable, nothing is going to change. I don't care how many marches they have, how many letters they write, or how many speeches are given from the pulpit.
Unless we demand it, Washington will NEVER act.
I'd have a lot more respect for pro-lifers if you demonstrated that you cared about babies after they're born.
"Yawn..."
Yeah, your response is pretty boring too. Maybe an aborted baby will perk you up?
The L/MSM is controlled by idiots [in my opinion] -- who have a left wing agenda.
It is also who: Jennifer O'Neill will be at the Convention signing her book. There is the Silent No More gathering at the Supreme Court.
But in Georgia, there is a major change in the works -- the Democrats have lost the House & Senate -- mirroring the US Congress. The wheels are greased in Georgia for some new laws to be passed and be signed by a Republican Governor.
I think Georgia will have 20,000 folks on Friday. Then some of them may travel to DC over the weekend -- since DC has the march on Monday.
Oh, and before I get flamed to death, yes, I'm pro-choice, no, I don't think that abortion is a good thing or should be encouraged.
Whats that suppose to mean?
You must be advocating social welfare right?
After all it is the governments resposibility to provide us with everything right?
Sorry but before government welfare people had kids and took care of them and we dont need a nanny state, but we do need a state that protects innocent life.
I think the guy posted the same stuff a month ago, and that opened the cage doors to the zoo then, and it probably will now. The guy wants Bush to try stuff that would cause me to favor his removal from office, eo instante.
Wake up and smell the coffee. This issue is going to bury the GOP.
And here I thought it was illegal immigration. So many issues fatal to the GOP - it is a veritable death watch.
In your dreams.
In World War II, the people of Germany turned up the organs in the Churches so as to not hear the screaming Jewish people on trains -- on their way to death camps.
My challenge is simple -- see what Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of NARAL, and former abortionist who performed 70,000 abortions. Just view Silent Scream once.
Besides the dead babies, there alot of women hurting out there -- from the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr to Jennifer O'Neill. Many woman regret their abortions. Many abortions are sterile because of their abortions.
Anyone who is an advocate of Women's Rights knows that it is in the best interest of MEN, not WOMEN, for abortion to continue to be legal.
Just look at the recent Baseball Bat abortions.
I'm a registered Democrat, I've voted Democrat in every election since I was old enough to vote
"You target his natural constituencies, for example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you're an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion." - Moby
I'm not going to rehash the eternal abortion debate here.
What I'm saying is that if you claim to love babies so much and feel that every fetus should be brought to term regardless of whether or not their parents want them or can afford to care for them, then you'd better have a plan in place for taking care of those babies if and when their parents either neglect to do so or are unable to do so.
And yes, that plan is inevitably going to involve gobs of money being sucked up by a social welfare system.
That doesn't sound appealing? Then stop trying to force a bunch of women who are unwilling or unable to care for their children to have them.
It's common sense. Somebody is going to end up having to take care of these kids, and that somebody is going to be you and me, in the form of our tax dollars.
It's perfectly true that the president doesn't have to do anything he thinks is unconstitutional. Abraham Lincoln took that position, and succeeded. But Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to do it at the height of his power and failed.
Politics is the art of the possible. It can't be said to often. If Bush had simply refused to follow the direction of SCOTUS, he would have been vilified, he would have lost the support of the cowards in his own party, and he would now be on the beach looking for employment. Meantime nothing would have been done toward ending the abortion holocaust.
Bush has taken more positive measures in a pro-life direction than any other president, including Ronald Reagan. Give him some credit. Now I think he has positioned himself to do more, in the way of judicial appointments. God willing, he will start cleansing our judiciary of death-dealing activists and start us on the road to ending court-mandated abortions.
He has also accomplished something else that may be more important than such actions as restoring Reagan's Mexico City policy. He has shown the politicians and the media spinners that abortion may be a losing game. Psychologically, that's a huge step forward toward turning the momentum around.
It's the perfectionists and the all-or-nothing people who have caused much of the trouble we are in now.
Re: "...read it all, get so tired and have to post a yawn. Way to add to the discussion of the slaughter of millions of babies."
What do you expect? Perhaps some people have the moral awareness of a junk yard dog, or a crack addict. I'm not naming names mind you but maybe if you included some porn some people might stay awake. Let just face it 50 million dead babies just doesn't do it for some folks.
