So you're saying that Frist is best qualified to identify judges who are pro-abortion because "it takes one to know one?"
Terrorists=disregard for innocent human life.
Abortionists=disregard for innocent human life.
There is no difference, other than the fact that the abortionists have killed exponentially more victims.
All Americans, born or unborn, have an unalienable, God-given right to life...guaranteed by our Declaration of Independence and the 5th Amendment to the Constitution.
This is an attack piece on Frist and you are right to encourage others to recognize that before they make up their minds.
Here are Frist's postions. On abortion it is exactly the same voting record as for Lott. I'll try to post the whole thing because it's more visible. It's found at click for frist positions
You're right, these are mainstream, respectable hospitals, not abortion mills as the headline implies.
You're right. I think the author proves pretty conclusively that he does still own the stock...so the word 'reputed' is probably not necessary.
Research might reveal that the number of 'white collar' crimes substantially decreased in NYC, post Sept. 11, 2001.
This is the typical suicidal behavior that the Republicans could use to lose the House and Senate in 2004.
I challenge all these high and mighty moralists to review and purge their own stock portfolios of "abortion friendly" stocks like any pharmaceutical company, any health care provider, anyone who could provide transportation to a clinic, anyone who produces food that abortion providers eat...
Get real, stay focused on the problems facing our country like...Demoncrats.
So anyone who wants to make an issue out of this had better stay out of any major hospitals because because if they don't, they're supporting abortion with their money.
And as such, he would be, in the eyes of the Frist supporters, imminently qualified to serve as ML.
Are you willing to do that? Or will the closest hospital be just fine with you?
BTW have you ever been treated or has any of your family members been treated at any of those hospitals? I'd be willing to bet you have.
To equate Bill Frist with Muslim homicidal bombers and terrorists is STUPID, WRONG, AND HOLIER-THAN-THOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS.
Your shrill, extremist form of one-issue abortion politics is no different than that of NARAL's, NOW's, and Planned Parenthood's. I have respect for neither of you.
Welcome Back, now behave yourself.
