How a ruling in a case 30 years old can now be reversed is beyond me. Then again considering the Fourth Reich America has become, (I don't think there's a single democrat in all of washington anymore) there doesnt seem to be a time more fitting.
I really can't believe how far to the right we've moved. Even so, this almost seems like an extreme. The fact that a small group of corporate-friendly, old, ultra-conservative white men will soon be able to tell women across the nation their own bodies are not theirs to control (not that this is anything new), simply because a few characters in an archaic fairy-tale-turned-religious-beaurocracy said so.
To get some perspective on who many in washington are now alligning themselves with (including King George II, who phoned in his support at a pro-life rally) guess who said the following quote: "I want to end the idea that a woman is free to choose what to do with her own body." I'll give you a hint: HITLER. there you go, we are well on our way arent we.
but let's forget about that,.. and the economic tailspin, and bush's corporate felon friends.. and let's focus on our favorite "threat" of yesteryear, mr. hussein. also, nevermind the fact that the fbi and the cia knew all about 9/11 before it happened, and that bin laden is still alive, and that the taliban has regrouped.. yeah! fuck all that! hussein KILLED HIS OWN PEOPLE (umm.. in the mid-80's) .. kinda like a certain governor of texas that exercised the death penalty more times than anyone in the state/nation's history..
anyway.. back to the original rant, the united states may make abortion's legality a state-by-state basis kind of thing. i.e. it might become illegal in many bible-belt states, while it will remain legal in others..
I personally believe women should be able to have an abortion all the way through the end of the third trimester, while many are lobbying to get it limited to just the first.
anyone who considers themselves to be "pro-life" (how's THAT for a euphemism?)

anyone who considers themselves to be "pro-life" (how's THAT for a euphemism?) needs to check themselves: how "pro-" are you the lives of those born from rape and other unwanted pregnancies??
I want to get your opinions on this topic and what might happen with the ruling in this monumental/controversial case.
peace

Pro Life is shit. They should have the choice.
Hussein should be attacked before he develops nukes. There is no telling what he would do wit hthem
North Korea needs to be coerced to put their nukes the fuck away and stop selling them out.
The Gov't did not have previous knowledge of 9/11, why don't you give me proof otherwise.
That is all, in summary.

it's quite a sad state of affairs indeed..the deliberate erosion of human rightscurrently underway in the States is so sad and yet humurous on an ironic level as the US and UK keep going on about human rights violations in opressed devestated warn torn countries who have have gone through decades ofcivil wars and blood sheds and are understandably shaky about relenting some of the human rights to the masses..and here..now in the US..once tragic event and the police state being invoked is equal if not worse then any of the Eastern Bloc countries in the days of the Iron Curtain..

you don't remember the little feud the fbi and cia had recently? they are two of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the country and they were keeping information from each other like little kids.. like this was a competition.. rather than working toward a cause...
the report of the possibility of a hijacking/attack on america was sent to the white house 3 days after everything went down... on the 11th bush was at his texas ranch.. the man has been president for almost 3 years now and he's been in washington for like 15 minutes combined
hussein is an aging dictator without any ambitions of conquering the US, (who could!?) he's not a threat, but american propaganda is turning has turned him into one for the second time
very true flea..

Not a threat? If he has no ambitions why is he working on building nukes (Don't deny it, you know it's obvious).

having a 'just-in-case' arsenal is almost a requisite for being a strong nation/government.. honestly,, do you think fucking north korea's gonna do anything? please.. if given the opportunity pretty much any nation's military would take nuclear weaponry.. almost just to say "what, you don't want to try me.. look what I have".. it decreases perceived vulnerability
