Imagine yourself, a senior in college, sitting in the middle of your dream medical-school interview. Because you have done your homework, the interview is going exceedingly well. You seem to have established a rapport with the interviewer, and your answers are crisp, clear and intelligent. It’s going so well that you are starting to feel confident regarding your chances of gaining admission.
That is, until the interviewer hits you with this question: “Suppose a young pregnant woman and her boyfriend come to you seeking an abortion. What would you do?”
What would you do? How would you answer? For pro-life medical-school candidates, there is only one answer: You counsel the couple not to have an abortion. The problem is that, in some cases, this answer could ruin the candidate’s chance of admission.
It is routine for medical-school admission interviews to include open-ended questions on ethical issues. Primarily, these questions are included in the process to see if students can articulate clearly and defend adequately their thoughts on complex issues. If this were the sole reason for their inclusion, questions about abortion and abortion access could play a legitimate role in the interview process. But that is often not the intent of such questions.
The reality is that many schools are using abortion-related questions to screen out pro-life candidates.

>>700 burn incidents, some of them 3rd degree, being described to the jury as “statistically insignificant,” turned out to be damaging to their case. <<
It IS statistically insignificant and in the end, the courts saw what a gold digger this woman and her legal team were.
Come ON, she stuck a cup of hot coffee between her legs and dumped it. Why would anyone put a cup of steaming coffee between her legs? It was a stupid mistake. It was HER stupid mistake.
Personal responsibility is conservative.
Expecting HOT coffee to be warm is stupid.
“what’s worse? A little white lie, or abortion? “
The problem here is that God has given us an absolute commandment to NEVER lie or kill. So both are sins!!
I say best to go with Venturer’s idea!!
“I would merely tell them hat I did not study for 8 years to murder their child, and would send them to a murdering SOB who did.”
She was "willing" to be paid off for 20 grand? She didn't deserve to be paid for her stupidity in the first place.
I'm not sure about that. We're commanded not to murder, and not to bear false witness. Killing for food, or self-defense isn't sanctioned, and, I think, neither is telling an untruth in defense of the defenseless.

I agree. You can kill to save lives, even your own. You can certainly lie to someone who is committed to killing unborn humans if that is necessary to get through medical school and to be able to start a career helping people in an ethical and moral manner.
