I have two children, thank you, who were wanted and planned and were healthy and normal and are now normal and healthy 20-somethings.  I know what it means to be pregnant - there's a lot that goes into that - and I don't know that I could have made the choice to abort.

But I would never presume to weigh in on what any other woman might choose for herself, and I do not understand why some people find it necessary to craft legislation and preach from atop their moral platforms about something that is so personal and so just none of their business.

And no, the unborn "child" does not have any right, sorry; for one thing a fetus is not a child, and use of the term "child" is a typical rhetorical tactic used by those who oppose abortion to conjure up a pink-cheeked Gerber baby, instead of dealing with the reality of what a weeks-old embryo really is.

I'm assuming that you are not female, so for whom exactly are you opposed to abortion?  Not yourself, I guess - so for whom is abortion wrong?  Other people?  And what business is it of yours what other people - women you don't know and have no connection to - decide to do when they are pregnant?  

Or is it "the child" for whom you believe abortion is wrong?

If you are someone who wants to give personhood to fetal cells, you are not pro-choice, because your desire to protect the embryo/fetus puts you in conflict with the rights of the woman who is pregnant and it becomes not so fine that she chooses abortion.

You can oppose abortion - like I said, I'm not sure I could have chosen it for myself - but at least be honest enough to admit that your interests lie not with the woman but the contents of her uterus.

I know, Cheney lied and (insert names)died.

In the meantime, show me proof that he did.

Of course the kicker is, and the one that will hurt the Demos, is that Obama's man Panetta has stopped the program even though Congress now knows about it.

I still look forward to the Democrats explaining why they have quit attacking and trying to capture al Qaeda members.... Especially with Afghanistan and Iraq on going.

MT, as old opponents let's not mince words. You are a member of the Cindy Sheehan branch of the party which is to say you are anti--war and a pacifist. That means you aren't philosophically wired to understand that some people want to destroy our culture, kill those who oppose them and impose their laws and religions on us.

That doesn't make you a bad person. Just one who doesn't understand and who is terribly wrong.

All I am saying is let Cheney and Obama alone as along as they are using the CIA outside the country.

Unfortunately the Left wants to put lawyers on the battlefield....
