No, that is where they induce labor, and deliver the body. Then before pulling out the head they pierce the baby at the nape of the neck and suck out the babies brains. See they do it this way so the baby never can actually breath on it's own therefore it never really was a baby. Just an embryo or my all time favorite.... a parasite.

Socialism .... Capitalism.... I guess there are pros and cons to both sides.

I'm not really sure why anyone would want a partial birth abortion or why anyone would want to perform one.  Sounds completely crazy to me.  Limiting guns for those that are legally able to purchase a gun is rediculous.  We know where all the guns would be.  Socialism...hmmm.

The grossly rich should be ashamed of themselves everytime they see a child in need.  I'm pretty happy with the little I have.  I can't imagine living life barely scraping by, knowing my kids were hungry, knowing they needed things I couldn't provide.  And I guess thats a capitalist's point of view of thinking.....Should have, could have used birth control, too bad.

Capitalism has nothing to do with the belief that women who don't want or can't afford to have children should use birth control or not have sex.  That's just common sense.  I see abortion as unnecessary in a majority of cases, if women would just exercise a little responsibility.

Olivia, Bush isn't running again. :-}

"Not sure Hillary is it.  But is Bush?  I don't think so.  He kind of reminds me of the Village Idiot."  :-}    :-}    :-}

Olivia, I had a conversation once with a nurse that preformed early term abortions for 15 years at a clinic. She helped preform one partial birth abortion, she walked out of the clinic that day and never went back!!

Well I looked up Mao to see his proper spelling, and it led me to marxists.org.  So now I'm probably on some FBI watch list... haha!
But, while I was there, I figured I might as well read up on some marxist philosophy.  (I particularly enjoyed the section labeled Capitalism: 1776 - [present]  "Contains the The White Book of Capitalism & Democracy: A history of the crimes committed by “democratic” nations. This archive also includes information about GATT, the precursor to the WTO.")  I never did make it through the Communist Manifesto.  Guess I'll need to suck it up and get through it.

Alright I googled "mao tse dung" and found that the proper spelling of the former communist leader of China's name is either Mao Zedong or Mao Tse-Tung...

gretchansdad, silly you, I know that bush isn't running again.  What I meant was I'm not sure if Hillary would do such a great job.  Because Bush certainly isn't. "This Country definitely needs something different.  Not sure Hillary is it.  But is Bush?"  I should have used "was Bush". 

Madkow, being responsible and using birth control when you can't afford children, is the responsible thing to do.  However, some poor people want to have children.  I don't know if calling them irresponsible is making their decision to have children any easier on them.  People are irresponsible in many ways.  I know about the global warming topic.  I also feel that everyone should be able to have children and not worry that they are going to go hungry in this Country.  I'm not so sure that Republicans feel the same way.

Bush won the election in 2000 because the people really didn't want AL Gore to be president because of his connection to Clinton, the people wanted a change, Al Gore couldn't even win his home state, Bush really never did impress me, it was the people he put around him with experience that seemed to be a good choice, but, Bush turned out to be a disappointment to most everybody, me included. So, on Hillary, do a google search of "Hillary socialism" and you will find Tons of facts on her socialist views, it is true, what I don't understand is why Hillary is so popular, if you look at some of the far left web sites like Daily Kos, or Huffington post, most people there don't like her, take a look at these samples from books written about Hillary by people who were around her, people who knew her, http://www.snopes.com/polit...

Olivia, you say, except for the picture I posted, what else is wrong with her?,  perhaps you didn't know what was happening in the 90's with the Clinton's, but you could fill a library with scandals and corruption that they were involved in. Here is an excerpt from Kathleen Willey's new book, Target, in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

After President Bill Clinton Sexually assaulted Kathleen Willey, in the Oval office, the Clinton machine went into overdrive, unleashing both a smear campaign and terror tactics to try to silence her.http://www.amazon.com/Targe...

which is something Hillary always did to smear the women Bill had relations with, she didnt care what he did, she just didnt want him to get caught,

So, I know most people here are liberal, what is so appealing about Hillary?

Stardust Al Gore LOST the election in 2000 because he distanced himself from Clinton. Get your facts right. I asked you yesterday to stop trying to tell us why we need to be afraid of Hillary and tell us why your candidate is so great and why you are going to vote for him. Stardust you are so afraid that Hillary will WIN the White House that all you can do is tell us that we need to be scared of her.Tell us about your guy. If your guy has such great character then why are you beating Hillary up? So Bill Clinton screwed a lot of women.......So what! get over it, It is old news.

As I understand it - a baby is in the midst of being delivered when it is aborted.  This procedure is called "Partial Birth Abortion".  And who would disagree that Clinton, at the very least, leans towards socialism?

When is criticism called "Mud slinging"?  Just when it is directed at Clinton?

I see that the extremist is back! Price is this who you are posting under today?Hey i dislike Bush and i have said so on here, but i don't take every opportunity to bad mouth him. To do so would be asinine.
posted by gube on Nov 27, 2007 at 08:18 AM
Price who is your candidate and what makes him so great. Tell us about his character and why we shouldn't be afraid of him.
