Mark, you taught us in Men in Black about that legal and moral abomination called Roe (see pages 60-68 in Mark Levin's Men in Black, y'all).

Hillary! and Howard Dean are trying to have it both ways on abortion. They think they can wrench away a red state or two by playing on peoples' ignorance of what Roe v. Wade has done.

We can't let them do it!

Dean is being exposed on many fronts (ewww, nasty thought, that) but hardly anyone is talking about this --although Rush discussed it for a few minutes today.

Bloggers need to pick up on Dean's huge gaffe about abortion --people won't recognize that it even was a gaffe until they're educated about what the Supreme Court's Roe decision really was: Which was nothing less than judicial usurpation of the peoples' right through their elected legislatures to make law.

"Special note to Chairman Dean... a woman becomes a "mother" when the child lives."

I think I understand the point you are making here, Ditto.

But I would point out that a child begins to live as soon as a new human life begins.

And that happens, if I remember my high school biology well, at the moment of conception.

A child that is not-yet-born is still a child that lives.

And the woman who carries that child is still a mother.

I think, anyway.

[Ditto]

Expectant Mother, perhaps?

But can one who "chooses" to cause the child's death, be considered a Mother in any sense of the word?

I haven't read the thread yet, but I do not favor overturning Roe. We should have a federal amendment instead. Giving conservative states back the power to restrict abortions will take the guts out of the movement. Dean probably knows this very well.

And I am sick of these Dems faking it! Trying to look pious and antiabortion. This is the one thing that bugs me the most in politics: when the other side pretends to be our side.

That's a great point. I agree, a life amendment would be better.

OTOH I don't give Dean credit for figuring it out. That kind of strategery and long-range planning is just too complicated for someone as illogical and over-emotional as Dean.

[firebrand]

They get fed this stuff. You're right, it's too complicated for Dean to have figured it out by himself. But a lot of Dems seem to be taking this little pose in the stained-glass window. Can't be coincidence.
