Yeah, right...only when they're awake.
The solution to the "unwanted" children who are being born is get them adopted into loving homes.
Simultaneously, you strengthen the concept of family and personal responsibility such that couples and single women work hard to prevent unwanted pregnancies... LIKE CONTRACEPTION!!!!
Sorry... women who believe they have a right to abortion, but don't bother with a minimal of the pill and second form of contraception just annoy me to no end.

Interesting how lefties always think children belong to the STATE.
Subjects on which I'm sure he's equally unbiased.
Does anyone have any links to his stories on the Catholic Church? I'm going to go google but I'd sure like to read a few before I send an email. It always helps to have extra ammo.
BUMP!
First thing I found out he came from the NYTs.

021227-- Ghost hunters raise ruckus in old Baltimore
BALTIMORE: Tales of ghosts and spirits are all very well, I told my hosts, but a reporter needs something objective and tangible upon which to peg a story.That's when the fork came flying out of nowhere -- or rather over a low partition separating a group of diners in a corner of a cosy dining room with closed windows and no door.
"Did you see that?" I asked one of my table mates, Towson State University student Michelle Salapka. She nodded her head but couldn't bring the words to her now gaping lips, her eyes wide as saucers, staring at the fork on the table between us.
The dinner, hosted by the Maryland Ghost and Spirit Association at the Baltimore seafood restaurant Bertha's Mussels, was turning into a rousing success. The 800-member group, whose Web site is at http://www.marylandghosts.com, is dedicated to investigating "ghostly paranormal phenomenon" at Civil War and other old sites around Maryland. [snip] "She just caught two orbs!" shouted Litsinger.
Images of weird glowing orbs, floating in the air over the tables inexplicably, were showing up on digital cameras. One photo showed an odd cartoonish hazy grey figure with huge almond eyes standing in the background.
Other participants were dashing up and down the stairs and into back rooms of the restaurant, taking readings with temperature guns -- looking for hot and cold spots. And then there were the strange electromagnetic readings showing up on the EMF (electromagnetic field detectors) that some were wielding. [snip]
I'm still a little sceptical, concerned that this feature is going to read like something in the Halloween edition of a high school newspaper. After all, maybe the fork was sitting on that partition all along and somebody walking past had knocked it off and rushed into the next room. Or something.
Litsinger thrust an EMF detector into my hand and pushed me over to a stained glass window behind a glass partition in a passage in the restaurant. I read "Bertha E. Bartholomew," amid flowers and angels and clouds. It was some sort of memorial.
The reading goes off the dial, at the edge of the red. Must be a fluorescent light or something in there, I said. Then the reading goes back into the green near zero. The light didn't even flicker. [snip]
But there's another angry presence. "Sometimes the cats will come hissing down the hall with their backs up," Norris said.[snip]
"Have you seen them?" I asked a waitress. "No, but she has," she said, pointing to a young woman carrying dishes.
"I'm kind of busy right now," said the second waitress, who identified herself only as Delvina.
I pressed her for more.
"It was sort of cloudy, milky white," she said finally.
HOTBED OF HAUNTINGS
"Ectoplasm," I nodded sagely. Where was my sceptical hat? [snip]
The story surrounding another nearby restaurant, the Zodiac, is better known. It seems the owner of a speak-easy on the site, a surly, hard-drinking man, hanged himself there after his wife ran off with another man.
"I asked the spirit if it would move something for me and there was a pole that just started rotating," said Karen Corkran, a member of the ghost association, of an outing there.
"I felt something extremely powerful up there. I got real tight in my chest and I couldn't breathe."
"Why ghosts?" I asked Litsinger at her home.
"I've always been able to pick up and communicate with them. My daughter inherited the ability," she replied.
"But why do they stick around?" Why not go on "into the light" or wherever it is we end up, I inquired.
"God gives us freedom of choice on Earth, and if you die he doesn't take it away," she explained.
"Some stay behind to watch over loved ones or take care of things they needed to do and some people take time to realise they're dead." [snip]"-Reuters
ping to me for later rant...ahh...comment...LOL
Todd Eastham reveals himself to be one of the worst kinds of racists, those who hide their racism, but act on it every day.
So who goes to prision in the view of liberals? Minorities!
Reuters coddles terrorists, so coddling a racist probably goes unnoticed. So what is Todd's solution? A final solution, for minorities that is.
Remember, Planned Parenthood's founder saw abortion as a remedy for classes of people she called "genetic weeds".
Bumping for the truth about the left-wing media (old media)
mark for reference
The feedback form at Reuters would not let me copy & paste my letter to them, but believe me it was one of the best things I have ever written in my life.
So there, nah-nah-nee-nah-nah!
