Don't forget his family and many of the blue bloods are big in Malthusian Population Control, his father wrote the Title X bill in 1969. Once many of the Catholic Mexicans come here and assimilate into our culture, they too, will be encouraged to "prevent" and "control" births. Do you really think that it's about picking crops and votes the republicans will never get?
????!!!!!!!!!!
I am speechless on this one. How does a pro-life born again Christian support this one? We need to pray for this President now more than ever.
I just sent President Bush an e-mail about this, asking him to rescind the new FDA head nomination at comments@whitehouse.gov
Anybody want to join me?
Actually I believe he does realize this. It must have been a very hard decision to make having to choose the lesser of two evils.
This pill, by preventing pregnancy and "possibly" being an abortion, could help prevent future actual abortions.
I'll take it.
All good points.
IMHO, I find it utterly appalling that President Bush would allow this. Don't get me wrong, Dubya is a good guy and a man of principle.
But I'm seriously wondering what he's got up his sleeve--and if I'm missing something down the line.
It is plainly evident there now exists a glowing inconsistency in the President's platform. Much to his credit, he's spent a lot of time working to end the throwing away of embryos via stem-cell research.
But to explicitly sanction the use of drugs to throw away an embryo that's a few hours old because it's either unwanted or an "inconvenience" is just over the top. That's exactly what Plan B is.
The truth is that one of the biggest reasons why Bush won the White House over sKerry was the gains in the Catholic vote the Republicans made in the 2004 races. Coupled with a stronger conservative and pro-life base, we had a clear majority when the dust cleared. That gave him a clear political mandate--specifically that America wants a conservative leader who will stick to his guns.
Neither Bush nor the Republican Party can politically afford to lose those gains--or to deviate from his political mandate. IMHO, this decision is going to have a negative impact on the conservative political scene as we move closer to the election cycle. Which, in turn can have devastating consequences for Republicans--and conservatives in general.
Why? What he's done here is a kick in the teeth to the conservative, pro-life, and Catholic votes--further alienating these voters when we as conservatives and Republicans need them the most. He's alienating the support of his vital base just as conservative groups and even the RNC are working overtime to unite the conservative movement and keep it together.
IOW, it's three steps forward, two steps back. And if we continue that trend, we're going to get beaten big in this fall's political races. Clearly this is something our nation, nay, the world simply cannot afford.
Looks like the Culture of Death fifth column on FR has hijacked the keywords list on the thread.
