You missed the point. The GOP could have easily passed the bill through a normal majority vote. But instead, they insisted on requiring a 2/3 majority, which they knew they wouild not get. The conclusion is obvious: The GOP didn't want to pass the bill because it is unenforceable. They just wanted to use it to make the Dems look bad. (Which is not a bad thing in and of itself.)

Women have a right to say no to a man trying to impregnate her. Don't want a baby? Don't have sex. After the fact is the wrong time to choose. BTW...rapes generally don't result in pregnancy, but even so laws restricting abortions usually include exceptions for rape. Regardless, its not relevant to the topic of the post.

It is leading to an imbalance. In fact, adoptions from China have slowed as China is attempting to encourage more in-country adoptions. The problem is that they haven't address the conditions that lead to the unwanted children.

So now you refer to the dependency argument, which is demonstratably false. Even a baby born after 27 weeks or one born at full term would die without aid from another person. That does not, however, prove or disprove the baby's human-ness. Try again.

The problem with this argument is that the point of viability is based on our technological ability to help the baby survive a premature birth. Currently, that point is about the beginning of the third trimester. But what happens when our technology improves and we can sustain a premature baby born even earlier? You can't judge a life human based on things that are external to it. It must be intrinsic qualities. No...the baby is fully human from conception.

"A woman's choice, a woman's control over her own body, is a sacred right." A right that she should exercise BEFORE having sex. That is is the time to choose not to be pregnant - not after the fact when an innocent life is involved.

If she can't afford to raise a child and can't afford to get an abortion, how about not getting pregnant in the first place?
Obama's mother was a US citizen. That makes Obama a natural born citizen under the Constition. Case closed.
The only zombies left now would be those who think Ron Paul actually has a chance at being President. Time to come to grips with reality folks.
