"@speedwell: It is never about the babies or life- it is about the morals behind someone else's decision to have sex. If it truly was about babies or life, then all the most ardent anti-abortion (and anti-contraceptive- if abortion is outlawed) protesters would adopt children- special needs children, older children, etc... I only support any of their legal requests to outlaw abortion when there is a waiting list for adopting children from state care and not one child waiting."

"@craptastico: "This F up is too colossal to blame on any one party." I have always blamed it on the two political parties which are business owned... Doubt that most of the alternative political parties would have stood for this type of stuff or, inversely, regulated anything at all (nor bailed out businesses either)... Teddy Roosevelt, where are you now???"
