“If the men get their Viagra then the women should get all the free birth control and abortions they want.”

“I so agree with this.

Maybe we should limit prostate checks by taking it out of insurance coverage.
You get to pay for your own tests - not included in the new coverage if the insurance company receives Gov. funding.
!
Sounds mean but so is their messing with a women's right to choose.”

Strong Clerical Support for a Woman's Right to Choose Does Exist

Commented Dec 07, 2009 at 17:25:42 in Politics

“This is no surprise to me. The Protestant churches with traditionally educated clergy have been generally supportive of Choice for decades, as well as women's rights in general.
The modern anti-abortion movement started in the early 80's, IMO as a rallying point for the new school born-again clergy. The abortion clinics in Seattle were unharassed until then, in spite of Catholic opposition to abortion. The Catholics were too respectful of legal due process to be out intimidating patients and providers at clinics when Roe vs. Wade went into effect, so the harassment didn't start in earnest for another decade when the new crop of Fundamentalist churches got traction and needed something to differentiate themselves from the old school Protestants.”

“Why shouldn't abortion be covered? Grrrrrr..... The only sense I can make of this idea is poor people shouldn't be having sex, since sex can lead to unwanted pregnancy even with birth control. That might sound like a great idea, but I don't think too many poor people are going to cooperate.

It really burns me up that the people who oppose abortion also often oppose any federal spending to support children and families or birth control or sex education. Maybe I'll start calling them the Anti-Sex party, but then they trot out Prejean and I have to laugh. Poor girl being picked on just because she's such a good Christian, sniff sniff.”

“Being POTUS is a tough job and that's no surprise, but I feel sorry for Obama at the moment. Most GOPers feel obligated to oppose whatever his does, no matter what, and the many Dems hoping for getting out of the Middle East sooner rather than later also oppose him.

I still trust him to make the right decision. He knows a lot more about the facts of the situation over there than I do, and although I don't support war in the abstract I don't see any easy way to pull out quickly now. I voted for him in spite of what he said he wanted to do in Afghanistan, and I hope he's right that that's the place to go after the Taliban. Will that make America safer? I don't know. Killing people produces more and more enemies, but plenty of people hate us already so maybe continuing the war doesn't make us even more enemies than we have now.”

“At some point the US has to make an earnest effort to reduce CO2 emissions, instead of pointing our fingers at China or cows emitting methane or people cutting down the rainforest or whatever. The SUV craze that lasted over 10 years and still isn't really over was a demonstration of national corporate and individual arrogance that still horrifies and embarrasses me for being an American. The US car companies are finally starting to pay some penance, barely, and only because they aren't making money even with SUVs anymore. Those big ugly things will be on the road for years, burning gas and money like its going out of style.
So whatever, Lou. Obama is the POTUS and I applaud his efforts to lead the US into the future. You are an annoying old school guy who misses being wined and dined by corporate execs on their private jets.”

His friends are liable for aiding and abetting BTW, and they were apparently chill with the possibility of Maurice killing more people as he continued to be free. Also if his stupid "friends" had turned him in he would still be alive. The No Snitching thing was apparently more important to them than these little problems, or getting him real medical care.”

“And as a journalism major Sarah knows that the reporter is almost never an expert on anything.

There is no logic at all for Couric or any other national or even state level news person to have the expertise that the governor is expected to have.
Sarah was a failed governor, even with her own party in control of virtually every level of Alaskan governmental bureaucracy.

Her comment is ifantile, petty, not professional, and unChristian. Sarah is burying herself under so many layers of denial that she has become mentally virtually nonfunctiona.”

“This reminds of the "You lie!" episode.

Some of these guys just don't see why its not okay to be rude to blacks and women and other people they perceive to not be as important as themselves, even if they're talking to the POTUS or a fellow Congressperson. I think they somehow discount the importance of that person's station and revert to grade school bullying tactics.”

“The hero's welcome the GOP gave Joe Wilson for "You lie" is emboldening these cretins. They should be fined or penalized in some way.”
