Geraldine Ferraro said this?
Amazing! And RIGHT on the money!
All pro-lifers should be thanksful for the Sonogram. That disproved the theory that an unborn baby was just a mass of tissue. As a result of that (and slowly growing church attendence), support for abortion is gradually fading.
Thing is, the only way to defeat legal abortion is to slowly chip away at it. Partial birth abortion was the ideal place to start. Criminal statutes against killing both pregnant women and their unborn children is another. It's gonna take patience and fortitude to win this, but things are now heading in the pro-life direction.
Neither side has enough votes for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. So the best, the very best, that would happen would be that the USSC decides it's none of their business and returns the issue to the states (where it was prior to 1973).
Even if that happens, it is likely that half the states will continue to allow abortion, with some restrictions.
The good news is that citizens will get to decide the issue, not judges.
Geraldine Anne Ferraro
Resumé:
Vice Presidential candidate on the losing side of one of the biggest landslides in electoral history - a whopping 13 electoral votes. Worse than Carter '80. Go Gerri.
Reagan on Ferraro [paraphrasing]:
"I have no problem with women holding office but frankly there were much more electable women in 1984 then her."
In other words, no one cares what Geraldine Ferraro has to say. You are a silly, silly person, Gerri.
I wish it was so, I think you are being a tad bit optimistic.
This struggle will only be resolved and won by blood in the streets and political blood letting
That's not a threat to anyone, but mark my words.
The liberal mind does not comprehend such things.
The manner in which you formatted Jack Wheeler's article makes it appear that all of the text after the colon (:) was spoken by Geraldine Ferraro.
The only portion that Ferraro said was:
"You know what? Just let me make one point. You were talking about the map before. If indeed all those blue states all got together and seceded from the union, think what would be left for those red states, nothing. There would be no educational system. You would have nothing. What would be left to you? I mean, where is all of this talent in this country? It's on both sides, the Northeast corridor."
The remainder of the article was Wheeler.
You have to learn how to post correctly!
i agree that abortion is on its way out. let's not let sancioned homosexuality take its place.
Remember Folks when Rudy G. attempts to take the stage. He will never get my vote, nor MILLIONS in the Red States for whom this will always be a litmus test.
You can't ask this of judges, but you have to answer this to voters. For further info, please read Psalm 139.
What is needed is for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade and not outlaw abortion, but simply return the power to the states, where it belongs. Then, we can finally have the debates the Supreme Court silenced with the Roe V. Wade decision. Abortion can't stand up to an open discussion. You simply need to see the results of a late term abortion and you know it's wrong. Once you have accepted a late term abortion is wrong it is impossible to find a point at which it is acceptable.
I am afraid there will have to be a chastisement from God before people of the NARAL mentality can be dislodged from their obsession with abortion.
Im thinking.. you know maybe secession of those NE states, New York and California might not be a bad idea. And we could charge them one god awful toll when they wanted to cross back and forth.
Baby-butchering has no defense, only defenders...
And to the rest of you, hope you don't mind me pinging you, I'm not ping happy so I promise not to make a habit of it, but in light of the discussion we were all a part of earlier, I thought you might find it a good read too.
The Dred Scott decision was dreadful, reprehensible, immoral - but NOT unconstitutional. Remember, it was decided while slavery was illegal, and found NO constitutional provision forbidding slavery or allowing for the *legal* personhood (i.e. ability to file suit) status of the slave. Given the constitution *as it existed* in the 1850s, Dred Scott was FAR more constitutionally consistent than Roe.
They'll be back when their food runs out.

Let them eat talent, and keep warm burning books!
"Nothing" in the Red States? Nothing except their food, water and power.
Where does California get its power? Where does its natural gas come from? Where does a lot of Southern California's water come from?
How much of the NE's power is generated in the Midwest? Who refines most of the NE's precious fuel oil, gasoline, and diesel? Who grows the corn and distills the alcohol for their E85 and 'winterized' gasolines? Who digs the coal for their power plants?
Go ahead and secede; make my day.
