Resolution signed UN can not stop US from attack. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Choose what? Let's stop the duplicity and call it what it is: a woman's right to kill her unborn child. The propaganda on this issue is so thick that it's warped people's ability to call it what it is. I fully support a woman's "right to control her own fertility," in the sense of a woman's right to prevent conception. After conception, it's no longer one individual we're talking about, but an independent life, complete with a unique genetic code that will enable that new life to grown to full maturity as a human being.
People here resort to ad hominem attacks when it's obvious that someone is so lost that reason will have no effect on them.
I am a woman and I chose my form of birth control long before I engaged in any sexual activity. I am not one who will tell another woman what she must do, but in the same sense, I should not be responsible for her stupidity, carelessness, or any other reason for having an unwanted pregnancy.
I have always been told that abortion is for rape or incest. In this case, should not each woman who has an abortion, funded by my tax dollars, be required to identify the rapist or incestuous partner? Police should be at every Planned Parenthood clinic to file reports and then issue arrest warrants. This should definitely slow down the cases of mass rapes that apparently go unchecked in this country.
I doubt GW wants me pregnant and barefoot. He hasn't shut down the shoe industry yet. But maybe he feels like this woman (remember, I am a woman, and this is an issue that concerns me, more than a man, John) and thinks we should not have to abort to have birth control. The pill is almost 50 years old, condoms are fairly safe, my niece says her IUD has worked for over 25 years. How about those choices?

Really? I'll have to listen for that. Journalists have a style manual, and there is flexibility in such matters, but they have to be consistent. If they aren't consistent, someone might get the idea they are reporting in a biased manner. It's right there at that point of perception that the reporter becomes the news. Network talking heads know better, and PBS wouldn't even try it because they know the demographics of their audience includes college professors who get a kick out of finding errors on students' term papers.
Yes. Maybe Precision bombing. Hollywood San Francisco Oakland Berkely. Portions of LA. And a Daisy Cutter for Barbara Streisand Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange. And drop some relief to Tom Cruise. The man needs a makeover. He is a hideous looking creature. Have you seen him lately. Oh yeah. Bomb Brad Arm Pitt and Jennifer Anistons house.
The"attack" was not ad hominem. In the spirit of freedom to choose, we just choose to call you a "5" and tell you to go back to DU where your faux intellect will be appreciated.

help for those of us for whom the dream of wealth has been a nightmare
What help? You realize that average joe pays almost 50% of his income (middle class) due to taxes at all 3 branches--income, property, payroll, sales and hidden taxes. Welfare is for completely lazy people whom have no desire to work.
the irresponsibility of the Bush tax cut for the wealthy and how we're going to pay for it
The tax cut makes up like 3% of the budget for the next 10 years. My family is middle class, I got a tax cut. If you are not paying taxes of course you can't get a tax cut because there is nothing to cut. And yes, the wealthy deserve a tax break too. Anyone who can pay over 33% of their income in federal income taxes ALONE deserves a break. Nevermind that the top 5% still pay 30%+ of all tax dollars. I guess that isn't enough for you. If you like economic equality, I will be more than willing to give you a one way ticket to China.
above all the right wing reactionary, activist judges that Bush is trying to stack the deck with
I think you need to find out what the definition of an activist judge is before you call right wing judges activists. Activism is making up the law. There is no federal jurisdiction for abortion in the US Constitution. According to amendment 10, that power is delegated to the states. That means if New Jersey wants to have legal abortions on demand, that's their prerogative. If Texas doesn't, that is theirs also. It is not the business of the USSC to simply make up 'rights' out of thin air.
