I never stated that, but I do wonder how many people understand what overturning Roe means. I don't know how well people understand Roe and what overturning it would mean. I don't think Americans want abortion outlawed. As you just said, Pres. Bush wasn't elected because people want abortion outlawed. As AD says, abortion isn't the most important issue to most Americans and shouldn't be. If Roe is overturned and the Republicans attempt to pass federal legislation outlawing it, basically they'll be completely destroyed by it. People aren't up for a giant change like that. People don't like change in general. People aren't even ready to overhaul Social Security and that's something that is desperately needed. Overturning Roe would probably result in a ban on partial birth abortions and some states outlawing it.

Actually, it's a pretty big difference. The anti-abortion people aren't the reason you're having a baby - you are the reason you're having a baby. You're the one who got pregnant. Being against abortion is saying that terminating the human being growing inside of you is not a valid option. And before you say that it isn't fair to women that having sex - even once - can result in a pregnancy that completely flips their life upside down, I'll agree. It's not fair. But that's just the way things are. Keeping the option of terminating the unborn as a means of making sex as "low risk" for women as it is for men isn't much of a solution. It's not my job to speak on behalf of every group that opposes abortion. But for the most part it seems that groups vehemently against abortion and contraceptives are also against sex outside of marraige, which is easily the best way to prevent unexpected pregnancies that people aren't prepared for.

No, merge all those blue states in the Northeast into one big blue state. Less room in the Senate for people like Hillary and Chuck.

The same percentage of Christians rioting and burning down their own country?

Being pregnant is what forces you to have a baby. Outlawing abortion is forcing someone who is already pregnant to not terminate that pregnancy. I doubt anti-abortion activists are trying to force women who aren't pregnant to get pregnant and then have a baby.

Of course I acknowledge it. It's pretty cut and dry. I doubt it. A few states might outlaw it, but I don't think there are enough Republicans willing to make that vote on a federal scale. Yes, the Republicans hold the majority in Congress but, no, I don't think there are enough who want to force such a dramatic shift in American culture. Outlawing abortion nationally wouldn't eliminate abortion any more than outlawing drugs eliminates drugs. I think that argument would win out at the end of the day, along with people not being comfortable with a massive change in the medical industry.

Man, I think I dated that chick.....

....Bruschi (We're not worthy!)! Thank God they put him up there because I hadn't been reminded of his greatness in the last 15 minutes.

Probably the response from the 57% of people in that poll you cited who don't want abortion illegal nationwide (and most likely think that is what happens when Roe is overturned).

Link Sweet. So basically all that stuff the Emperor was saying in Return of the Jedi was good advice. "Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you." I'm gonna go punch someone in the face.

Someday soon, someone should do a study to see how many Americans actually understand the reasoning behind Roe v. Wade and, more importantly, what would happen should that decision be overturned. More specifically, I wonder how many Americans think that overturning Roe would immediately result in abortion being illegal in the United States, which is not even close to being true.

One Reuters article minimizing the immigration make-up in France doesn't mean it isn't an issue. Amazingly, people who have been paying attention to this for more than, say, 2 or 3 days predicted this long ago. But that was back when the same people rioting this week were only concerned with attacking Jews. Over three years ago.... This week's riots have been in the works for a long time.

Yeah, the link is called GOOGLE. The riots have been going on for 7 nights now and you can't find any information on them on your own?

She has no talent. But she cleans up real nice.

Considering the influx of muslim immigrants to Europe with the attitude "you adapt to us", there's probably a pretty good chance this isn't about economics. This week is the one year anniversary of the Van Gogh murder in Holland, BTW.

Awesome. They still haven't found out about me.

Adding any states would screw up having a nice round number of stars on our flag. Our flag will look stupid with 53 stars on there.

They already are trying again with Alito. Chuckie Schumer tap dancing on Rosa Parks' grave and asking if Alito will roll back the gains she made kicked things off nicely.

Which brings the total number of CIA leaks this year up to, what, a million?

I'm 24 years old and I know that most of the best movies I'll ever see in my lifetime have already been released and that I already own the DVD in most cases.

His point was literally that both parties pull the same crap. How did you get DemsBAD!! out of that?

That's not what he was implying at all.

I heard that the other day. With John Cena (from WWE) as the star. Predator minus Jesse Ventura's politically incorrect lines minus Arnold plus One white guy from WWE who raps equals..... ....we're screwed.
