When you are in a fight with gutter RATS, you had better learn to fight like them or get the 'shite' kicked out of you every time---quit moaning and selling the 'high road' crap that has been getting conservative Americans kicked around lately--Medved can say what he wants and I will take Ann Coulter who has more guts than most so called men in the Pub Party
And I would actually give your side credit for an "honest political debate" if the same option was available to men.
As it stands, America operates under a sexual caste system.
Ah -- I'm sorry, I don't understand.
The man probably has a say, but since it's the mother's body that has to go thru the pregnancy then it seems like she has the final word, to me. But I haven't thought that much about it.
What would do you suggest as a better approach?
Get off it.
I am sick and tired of conservatites making a big deal out of any comment that might just possibly insult some people -generally people who don't give a rat's @$$ for our political views anyway.
The Dems - for this I give them credit - ALWAYS circle the wagons, defend their own and move on. Which is one reason why they are where they are - implenting their agenda - and we are where we are - quaking in the shadows.
I love Coulter. She is a fighter and goes after the libs tooth and nail and I don't need some self-righteous individual second guessing her and defending Edwards.
Edwards ia a pandering politician just doing what so many of them are so good at - exploiting ANYTHING to try and benefit himself.
Conservatives should get wise and emulate him in this respect.
It is fundamentally unjust to expect the man to exercise his reproductive choice before the woman involved is even pregnant when she has nine months to choose after she becomes pregnant.
Her relative discomfort for three or four months is NOTHING compared to the onerous and debilitating obligations enforced against the man in this country by the "choice" of the woman.
If the pro-choice advocates where actually engaging in "honest political debate" rather than gender apartheid, they would have no problem with the "paper abortion."
A paper abortion would be a legal instrument whereby a man, on becoming aware a woman he had sex with was pregnant or within a reasonable amount of time after becoming aware a woman had given birth claiming him as the father, could register a disavowal of parenthood with the local authorities. This would separate him from any obligation for the decision of the woman to reproduce.
If you do a little thinking on the proposition, you will find it is absolutely in conformity with the "stated" pro-choice philosopy, yet I promise you the rhetorical fires of hell if you actually try to advocate it.
For your reveiw re: Scooter Libby

If Thomas Sowell doesn't impress you, no one will.
I *love* that idea! I've never heard it before.
That's brilliant, the man should have that right, I agree.
I'm not so sure you'd get the resistance you think you would. I'm going to ask around later, and I'll see what kind of response I get.
Oh, believe me, I've followed the Libby story closely.
But that works both ways -- Clinton was nailed on the same kind of dynamic, a special prosecutor who went beyond his original case.
It was a political witch-hunt, without a doubt. And I would assume Libby will be pardoned, so the damage to him will be lessened.
Do tell?
I have GOT to hear your reasoning for THAT particular statement.
Will a pardon, which I don't believe is as easy as you do, recoup Libby's financial losses?
Clinton was nailed by the Whitewater special prosecutor. On an issue that had nothing to do with Whitewater.
:-)
Don't get me wrong, Libby was wronged. But he'll do okay, don't worry. He'll make out in the end, I suspect.
Yeah, cops and robbers are a two way street, also. They both have guns and talk mean to people. (rolling eyes)
