The issue is a series of 30 criminal counts alleging illegal late-term abortions and inappropriate medical diagnoses that had been prepared by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline against late-term abortion specialist George Tiller of Wichita. Within hours of those charges, which had been reviewed and endorsed by two separate state judges in Kansas, being filed, the worked with yet another judge on her request to have them dismissed. Subsequently, a special prosecutor hired by Kline was fired by the state's new attorney general, Paul Morrison, who had campaigned on the statements that he didn't think the abortion industry in Kansas needed to be investigated. "Are we going to be a nation of laws or a nation of men," asked Cass, "and if what I know to be true about the charges is true, and it seems to be confirmed by these other judges, there's been a material violation of Kansas law."

Saddam fasted and look how it helped him to keep his head when those about him lost theirs.

But gradually, from Terri Schiavo to Plan B to stem cell opposition, the right wing overreached. In that reddest of states, South Dakota, voters in November repealed an abortion ban that echoed the theme: No exception! No compromise!
Snip...
As Cecile Richards, head of Planned Parenthood, says, "You have to search far and wide to find a doctor who opposes family planning to run the nation's family planning program." This White House found one. The president picked Keroack just weeks after the election delivered anti-choice defeats. "He didn't get the memo," says Nancy Keenan, head of NARAL Pro-Choice America, in what will be the epitaph for this presidency, at home and abroad.
If you missed the first gasp at this appointment, Keroack is an OB-GYN who was the medical director for A Woman's Concern, a network of faith-based "crisis pregnancy centers" in Massachusetts. This group not only promotes abstinence until marriage, it regards birth control as "demeaning to women, degrading of human sexuality and adverse to human health and happiness."
Keroack's PowerPoint lectures should be regulars on "The Colbert Report." In the most infamous, titled appropriately "If I Only Had a Brain," he teaches that "premarital sex is really modern germ warfare." His unique 'scientific explanation' of why multiple sex partners are bad has to do with, uh, oxytocin. "People who have misused their sexual faculty and become bonded to multiple persons will diminish the power of oxytocin to maintain a permanent bond with an individual." More sex leads to less bonding? This ranks with old-time warnings that you-know-what leads to warts.
Yet Keroack is supposed to be the nation's chief advocate for family planning. This is from the man who will have power to funnel and direct funds.

Thread by wagglebee.
President Reagan felt passionately about the vacuum in modern life caused by the loss of belief in God. Indeed, the two most important issues to him, school prayer and abortion, were closely intertwined. President Reagan thought abortion was a particularly grievous wrong. Indeed, he thought it was so evil that he wrote a book, Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation—the only book he wrote besides his two autobiographies.

Let us know what you're thinking when you think of it :-)
I'll think about it.
While it's true that she had a positive attitude about herself, that's not what I was referring to. She had a positive attitude about Hitler's children, and trusted that they really had changed. I mean, she really trusted! How likely would you be to trust one of their counterparts that we see regularly? What would it take to convince you so thoroughly of their change, that you'd willingly put yourself at their mercy? Their definition of mercy is torturing their own family members to death! We can see after the fact that her trust was well placed, but what kind of courage did it take for to give that trust?
Don't forget.
I'll bet CPAC will be a world war this year :-)
Eh?
Oh, forget it! ; )
Intriguing observation.
I think........ that in Germany, "Hitler's children" were shamed. They were the pariahs of the civilized world for decades. They were forced to see the horror, even as the American army, in 1945, made German townspeople see the horror by marching them past the corpses at the death camps and making them bury the dead. Hitler's children learned to be decent people again. (German churches were at the forefront of the people's rebellion that brought down the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the Soviet Union itself soon afterward.)
It is our own liberals' children who were never shamed, never forced to see the horror of what they do. To the contrary. Our little "red diaper" babies were encouraged and financed by their elders to destroy American morals and culture. They became the "Hitler's children" or "Pol Pot's children" of our time -- here in America. They preach a "right to die" but they mean -- and know they mean -- "our own license to kill."
I'd like to forget it but I already did so I can't remember what I am supposed to forget.
Yes, it does. It also leads to with more venereal disease (now called STDs), more abortions, more depression, more suicides, more cervical cancer and less sex. So there, Ellen Wormtongue! I love that last one, that married church-going people have more and better intimacy than singles.
Thanks for providing the update on Scott!
thanks for the updates. stay warm & well!
I am at a loss for words for what Nancy's parents did to her.
And in the case of Terri, there were/are many who feel the same way right here. Remember how many objections this video aroused?
I certainly do.
The video clearly shows cognitive function. Terri's laughter is appropriate to the moment, not random -- this is how we know it is not a reflex. She isn't even laughing at some momentary experience of the senses. She is laughing at a memory. She has correctly processed verbal commands, called up the right memory, remembered the humor of moments long ago, and laughed anew. Terri is "in there."
This video powerfully belied the Felos/Greer line.
They talk about a "right to die,"
But lie, and lie, and lie, and lie.
Let's watch it one more time. Nobody that is not silly could disagree with what you said.
