I think the law should be based on the morals of the society as well as fact. However, much like the speed limit, it is often based on convenience, otherwise we would all be driving a lot slower. As we become more secular and subsequently less moral, than I guess fact is the second best option.

I don't think there will ever be common ground in this debate. The only thing that will clarify the issue is honesty. When you have an abortion, you are killing the life you are carrying. Is that something you are willing to accept? For many frightened young women the answer is yes. Is the subsequent taking of that life something that society will accept? Once again the answer is yes. Yes, we as a society are willing to kill innocent life for the sake of the mother's convenience. I guess according to some post that is 60% of us. We're just so progressive.

There's plenty of blame to go around. Once you stop blaming, then what?

Everything Obama says and does should be of concern to intelligent, free thinking and freedom loving people everywhere. Focusing on Asia, Obama fashion, means reducing our Navy, that could easily decimate the current growing Chinese Navy, and seceding the freedom of the seas and shipping lanes to COMMUNIST China. Has no one even reacted to what China is doing to Japan and the desire to "own" the South China sea? Perhaps looking at an atlas every once and awhile should help bring into focus what the Islamic control of the Suez Canal and the Chinese control of the South China Sea would do to the American Navy's ability to promote freedom of the seas.

Does anyone care to address why there are so many abortions? Does not the breakdown of society bear some responsibility for those numbers? If sex is devoid of reproduction it looses it's connection to creating a life. There is no logical or scientific argument that could be made to deny life begins at conception. The real problem is the rationalist argument that it is a woman's right to do what she wants with her body. That is true up to a point, when it is no longer her body.

I'm always late to these discussion boards, because of being really busy. But, Oliver North couldn't be more correct in his assessment. I am the mother of 2 children in the military. My youngest on his third deployment, an officer in the Navy, and my oldest an enlisted 34 young woman in the Army. Just what is this country all about? I don't even know anymore. Thanks to the media and the political totalitarian bent and a completely uninformed public we're all screwed.

I simply can't listen to all this analysis as it is irrelevant at this time. The American people and ideal lost to a corrupt and cynical Ideology firmly held by the media, immoral politicians, and an electorate that has no sense of history or perspective of what their actions reap. Ignorance rules. What remains constant is that Mitt Romney is a good man, and Obama is King Con.

Reread paragraph 9. "The EPA itself acknowledges, between 1970 and 2010..." Do you honestly think that given that history that the majority of the US population does not support reasonable regulations? Or do think you can enlighten us?

Hey, faultroy, what do you do to earn a living? Or, are you still in school and living off parental units? Educate us on how we should all prosper since you have the answers.

Well I guess we're all wealthy now.

Great ideas. And thank you for your's and your husband's service. We need more people like you. May God bless you and your endeavors.
