Crickets?
Thank you.
Holy smokes.
Yup. Roe should be trashed on the strength of procedural reasons.
Mea Culpa! Not noticing your sex, I assumed the masculine. I will endeavor to remember you are female from here on. I hope I represented your point of view correctly?
Yes, to all of this?
***So you would outlaw in vitro fertilization for couples that have a hard time getting pregnant, or advance fertilization for couples undergoing cancer therapy that might want to have children in the future?
***The position you take is much farther than overturning Roe v. Wade.
***It means that an IUD is murder. And the day-after pill is murder. Right?
You are kidding, right?
If I told you that my sister had stem cell replacement, would you tell me she just should have died a lot earlier?
Nonsense, you are falling for the debunked propoganda of the pro-aborts
* The overwhelming majority of all abortions, (95%), are done as a means of birth control.
U.S. Abortion Statistics, U.S. State abortion statistics, by Race, by Age, Worldwide abortion statistics, teen abortion statistics
* Only 1% are performed because of rape or incest;
* 1% because of fetal abnormalities;
* 3% due to the mother's health problems.

Reasons Women Choose Abortion (U.S.)
* Wants to postpone childbearing: 25.5%
* Wants no (more) children: 7.9%

As reported by:The Alan Guttmacher Institute Online:
Abortion is very rarely a "sad mistake" but is rather an evil and pre-meditated choice based on self-centeredness. If there were severe consequences for that choice, as there are for the commission of any serious crime, there were be even fewer "sad mistakes". The problem is we present murder as the ideal option for your 15 and 16 year olds and we don't teach them the value of chastity. We are a sex obsessed, depraved culture of death.
Errr, no. The day after the election when we accomplished a larger Republican majority in the Senate, leftie reporters dug at Specter looking for remarks they could use to divide conservatives and moderates. The left told conservatives to jump and we began pole-vaulting.
Think about it... the only hope Senate Democrats have is to cause a bloody battle dividing our Senators. It would be very helpful if conservatives would stop carrying water for Hillary, Kerry, Kennedy, etc.
"Holy smokes."
The Catholic position is unknown to you? And hey, about that retraction, have you not found the strength of character to apologize yet?
Post #200.
How many babies were killed so that your sister could have a few more years of life?
Now, about your lies, any retraction yet?
Isn't open debate great? You can expose the issue to the light of day and not kill anyone in the process.
If the "morning after pill" ought to be legal, then all abortion ought to be. Murder is murder. Moreover, it is an often DEADLY to the rape victim treatment, nor is it restricted now to just rape victims.
Well, at least you didn't blame it on Bush!
Dear ScholarWarrior,
As a "rabid pro-lifer," I assure you that the current intermediate goal is nothing more than the overturning of Roe.
After that, we "rabid pro-lifers" will change directions, and will mobilize to develop and pass the most restrictive abortion legislation that we can in each of the several states. If we can do it at the federal level, we will.
If we have to settle for intermediate results of banning some abortions and not others, we will so settle. And some of us will be upset by the compromises, and others will keep fighting to extend the law to protect even more unborn human beings. We will never give up until every human being is protected in law and welcomed into life.
But that's called politics. That's how it works. Right now, all we are fighting for is for the legal question to be returned to the realm of politics, rather than the realm of unappointed fat-assed morons who think themselves judges.
While we are not busy promoting legislation to protect unborn persons in law, we will continue to support the thousands of crisis pregnancy centers and pregnancy aid centers that, at very great cost, provide real, on-the-ground alternatives for women in crisis pregnancies. We will continue to hold our spaghetti dinners (our Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary raised a thousand dollars for our local Gabriel Project last week with a spaghetti dinners), we will continue to collect change and pass out lifesavers, we will continue our vehicle donation programs, we will continue to do all that we can, at considerable financial cost, to give real assistance to women so that they have real alternatives to procuring the death of their babies.
We are tireless and unrelenting. We will not give up. We will not look the other way. We will not rest.
Because a society cannot call itself just if it does not protect in law the basic human rights of all human beings.

I'm not a Catholic and I think those positions are reprehensible.
Don't bother talking about MY character; you should be looking at your own.
You say "(I love the smell of mandate in the morning.)", what part does the GOP Platform play in that "mandate"?
Great statistics.
It means that an IUD is murder. And the day-after pill is murder. Right?
Yes, absolutely.. now you are getting it. Abortion is a symptom of the culture of death that includes fetal stem cell research (killing babies for medical experimentation, paging Dr. Menegele), homosexual marriage (unions whose purpose is hedonistic not procreative), birth control (pregnency is a disease that needs to be treated and an evil to be avoided) You cannot attack abortion in a vacumn, its a useless as taking aspirin for cancer. The only answer is a repudiation of the whole cultural nihilism that underlies abortion, euthanasia and birth control and an unconditional reverence for life. : Evangelium vitae
