Hmm...Natalie Maines is pregnant right now...I wonder if she excercized her "choice" at the rally? The most sickening thing about this rally was seeing young children there, being brainwashed at such an early age.

[Paul Atreides]

Big list of has-beens, never-weres, and never-should-have-beens. All sharing the common trait of soullessness.

[victoryatallcosts]

I'm also struck by just how thin the list is, given how large it is. A great number of people are notable by their absence.

Martin Sheen, I understand, requested he be removed from the list as he's pro-life (though, naturally, he's one of those 'pro-life Catholics' who've managed to mangle theology in order to let themselves support Democrats).

I'm slightly dissapointed to see Lauren Graham on the list.

I would have been disappointed to see Kirsten Dunst, had I not listened to the commentary track featuring her on the Spiderman DVD (which convinced me that she is truly and throughly stupid).

[victoryatallcosts]

Damn- Maggie Gyllenhaal's on the list too.

[mrs. a]

It's great to see all the celebrities rallying around the cause to save the lives of the many unborn women killed each day!

What?

Never mind...

[vpintheak]

Wow, they have a bunch of uneducated, pompous, overpaid freaks. It is a shame that these people have any influence at all.

[epigone73]

Reads to me like the nucleus of a good, old-fashioned "enemies list".

Seems that, given accusations and hysteria about "McCarthyism", the least we can do is oblige them. let us refer this list to Ashcroft, for registration as subversives.

Any other additions we should make?

[Paul Atreides]

What did Kirsten say?

[Charles Henrickson]

You're calling Bonnie Franklin a has-been?!

[Dark Knight]

Abortion is not being treated like any other medical procedure. We know that a common side effect is severe clinical depression in as many as 40% of the women. Where's the open disclosure during the explanation of the procedure? Non existant.

Does that constitute malpractice? Yes.

Why no suits? The women are terribly effected years after the procedure and past the statute of limitations.

Where is the outcry for these women who suffer in silence? Where are the feminists, their sisters?

What are the common traits? They were young and impressionable. They were pregnant. They were told that the baby inside was just a blot of tissue, nothing more than a fingernail. These women said okay. Years later, pregnant with other children, they experienced the whole pregnacy and their current thoughts about pregnancy was totally different than their experience when they had "the procedure". And they torture themselves. Courtesy of feminists that should know these facts by now. But the feminists are caught too. They can't have an open mind about this issue, it would kill their movement. Do they even ask the questions anymore?

It is obvious to a rock, that if a baby can be born, and live, it is a baby. Real doctors may have to choose which life to save in an emergency, but only abortionists would let the baby die when it was not absolutely not necessary.

Technology marches in, and doctors can save babies earlier and earlier. 1 lb preemies. Septuplets. When are they babies? Possibly earlier, but definitely when they can exist outside the womb without their mother. It's an uh duh. But tech is getting better. What are the feminists arguing, partial birth is okay, until the baby is born it is a blob of tissue. Doctors won't do the operation, except where the mother's actual life is threatened. Abortionists will. And it is an important distinction. A doctor's promise is to first do no harm, and he has two patients, a baby and a mother. An abortionist has only one patient, a woman, and that is not semantics.

Abortionists have gone off the deep end, and feminists are scared their followers will wake up. And it is happening now.

Too Cool.

Kirsten Dunst really is dumb. I have seen a couple of interviews with her (even watched Oprah one time to see her interviewd (yeah - I know..)). She has nothing going on upstairs at all, and I am sure her agent said that doing this march would be a good career move. ....

And I am disappointed, what, no Julia Roberts on the list?

[Charles Henrickson]

Yes, it's disappointing to see actresses you formerly thought of as "hot"--Lynda Carter, Dana Delany, Fran Drescher--or an actor whose work you liked--Ed Harris--marching for such an evil cause.

Fortunately, a lot of these folks I've detested all along--Bea Arthur, Ed Asner, Alec Baldwin, Melissa Etheridge, Whoopi Goldberg, Ted Turner, et al.

“I consider myself a liberal Democrat, but I'm against abortion,” said Mr. Sheen, a devout Roman Catholic.

Actor Martin Sheen Backs Out of Pro-Abortion March Sponsorship

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Actor Martin Sheen has backed out of being listed as an endorser for the pro-abortion march sponsored by leading abortion advocacy groups. Whether the listing of him as a sponsor was accidental or if Sheen didn't know the march's purpose is to support abortion is still a question.

That Sheen, who plays a fictitious president on the hit NBC drama "West Wing," was listed as a sponsor of the pro-abortion march was a surprise. Though he holds liberal views on other political issues, Sheen is a longtime pro-life supporter.

In 2001, Sheen was listed by Feminists for Life, a pro-woman group, as a "Remarkable Pro-Life Man," along with actor Ben Stein, Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), and columnist George Will. Sheen's wife Janet signed off on the article.

Sheen has also been a longtime supporter of the Seamless Garment Network, a pro-life group that also opposes war, poverty, abortion, racism, and capital punishment.

Calls from LifeNews.com to Glennis Liberty, Sheen's publicist, were not returned by press time.

However, Serrin Foster, the president of Feminists for Life, suspects that Sheen or a representative may have signed up to be a sponsor of the march because of other political issues, not realizing that its main thrust is promoting abortion.

John Kerry's Wife Backs Abortion, Says it "Stops the Process of Life"

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- In an interview with Newsweek magazine, Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry, says she backs abortion. She also retracted a previous statement indicating she wasn't fully 100% committed to the pro-abortion cause.

"I'm more old-fashioned than a lot of women ... I don't view abortion as just a nothing. It is stopping the process of life," Heinz Kerry told Newsweek contributing editor Melinda Henneberger in a recent interview.

Henneberger followed the Democratic senator's wife around to various campaign events over a three week period to obtain a profile of the potential First Lady.

When it comes to abortion, Heinz Kerry told Henneberger, "My belief -- and I maybe am very wrong -- is that women, generally speaking, do not want to have abortions."

"With the exception of people who are mindless -- and there will always be mindless people of both sexes -- most women wouldn't want to," Heinz Kerry explained. "So starting on that premise, I'd say it's our duty as a society to help women arrive at the best conclusion."

Five years ago, Heinz Kerry gave an interview in which she called herself "not 100 percent pro-choice."

Now, she accepts the political realities that come with being married to a presidential candidate who kowtows to the abortion lobby.

"She says she is no longer allowed the luxury of such qualifiers," the Newsweek editor writes.

"Ultimately you're either for choice or you're not, so I am" for abortion, Heinz Kerry says. "I ask myself if I had a 13-year-old daughter who got drunk one night and got pregnant, what would I do. Christ, I'd go nuts."

Meanwhile, when Henneberger asked Senator Kerry whether his wife's views on abortion are different from his own, he dodges the question.

"I do not know the answer to that. We've never -- she's never had to vote."

The Newsweek profile shows that Heinz-Kerry may be open to the abstinence message.

"We should start emphasizing mystery; save it for another day," she tells Henneberger about sex. "I came from a more romantic time."

During another conversation, she expands on the topic: "It would be interesting to show young people that sexuality and sensuality are very different, and that being sensuous is more charming, more sustainable, more beautiful."

The story, "Teresa - Is John Kerry's Heiress Wife a Loose Cannon or Crazy Like a Fox," appears in the May 3 issue of Newsweek that will appear in stores on Monday.

I don't remember exactly- I just remember that it was the most vacuous commentary I've ever heard on anything- and that's damned well saying something.

[Mike Bates]

Someone to iron his shirt.

For an all-star celebrity list it's not actually all that long and if these are the biggest stars on the list, it's not even impressive since many are unknowns and many are has-beens. No really big stars like Mel Gibson.

[Skooz]

Frances McDormand is the only one who disappoints me. She was brilliant in "Almost Famous."

The others I can boycott with no problem. Most of them are has-beens or never-weres anyway.

[Skooz]

You know, it's possible that some other names are on this list that don't belong there.
