And President Bush !

Are you advocating violence? I hope not.

Either your knowledge of the English language is sorely lacking, or you're
simply trying to squirm out of your statement, Jon. The word "a" denotes the
singular. And what is the antecedent for the pronoun "who" that appears
twice in your sentence.

Dave, you're unqualified to lecture about the English language. It's
your third or fourth language.

Do you want to take a guess at how many rapes result in pregnancy? I
bet you don't.

The vast, vast majority of people support a woman's right to
choose to have or not have an abortion.

If that is indeed the case, why would you be unwilling to let that vast
majority act through the political process in their own States as they did
prior to the time the legislative power was usurped by the nine wise men?
Ah, I have it. Those evil racist legislators would flout the will of the
people.

It's quite apparent that you don't know squat about civil rights. The
vast majority has acted through the political process. They seek to
defend the rights of those who can't defend themselves. One of the
consequences of this has been the right to privacy, which includes the
right of a woman to choose whether or not to have an abortion.

Do you want to guess how many rapes result in pregancy? I bet you
don't.

That's not true.

Definitely not true. You also get SS benefits if you're disabled.
Blacks, for example, don't live as long on average as whites,
nor do they make as much, they do have higher disability rates, and
thus do get benefits.

Some of us have memories, Jon.

So, the answer is no, you can't.

OK, Jon, since you're an expert in this field as well, enlighten us. Explain
the structure of your fractured sentence:

Sorry, but it's clearly too deep for you. Look it up.

No, wait a minute--that first dependant clause would be too complicated for
you. You can start with the words "a baby" and just follow the preposition
"from," its object or objects, the appositive if any, and the dependant
clauses following. Be careful though, since if you're not careful you may
end up describing a situation in which a single child has 3 biological
parents.

So, you refuse to answer the question. Got it. Do you know how many
rapes result in pregnancies? Probably you should look that up too!

Do you want to take a guess at how many rapes result in pregnancy? I
bet you don't.

I'm not at all sure what the relevance of that question is to the
discussion, as I've already indicated that in my view the answer that should
be arrived at through the political process is that the guvmint should avoid
getting involved in the decision to terminate pregnancies.

It has a huge relevance, since you would deny abortions to these
girls, as would Bush. It's a matter of law that they have the right to
choose, but you and Bush would take that away wouldn't you....

What a humanitarian!

Hmm. I must have missed that election where we voted for the justices.

Hmm... you've missed a lot.

He probably also missed Republican golden boy, Rude Guiliani, who today

Very nice!

Amazing... Bush fails to do the right thing, then has one of his
surrogates blame the troops. I actually had some respect for Guiliani
until I heard him say that. Now, BushCo is claiming it was out of
context. It wasn't. I listened to it.
