R,W&B - WE the people - better than you other people, demand this country for our own selfish ends, Amen. Nobody wants to "unite" with you fascists.

About the same liberal crap I expected. I can't understand why Americans continue to believe that abortion should be a means of birth control. It just sickens me. As you said yourself, Amy, my view is one which is articulated by many.

RW&B, I'm glad my mother was not your mother.

RW&B Midwest, well, I too agree that abortion should not be used as a form of birth control. That's why it staggers me that the administration blocked making the morning- after pill available over the counter and why it is not offered to all rape vicims who go to the hospital after an attack (only in some states. Yours? Find out!)The morning after pill prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus when taken a few hours after conception. Have you seen the pictures on your state sex offender website? Not exactly a bunch of Brad Pitts. Believe me, if your niece was molested by one of these guys, you would want her to have the morning after pill. And, looking at these guys, you might also start to understand why women have risked their lives to terminate unwanted pregnancies. I am glad you are against abortion, I am too, but from what I know about reality, I believe abortion must remain legal because women will terminate unwanted pregnancies, endangering themselves and causing more tragedies. I believe the morning after pill should be available to those who request it, and that is one reason I do not support "conservative" candidates who think pregnacy is a suitable "punishment" for having, or being forced to have, sex.

RW&B - You know what sickens me? People who think rights are granted by God until a fetus is born, and then you can send anyone to war or death row. You know - people who spew about how wrong abortion is and then say something like how they don't give a rat's butt about my loss of civil liberties? You know - people who hide behind patriotism and don't even believe what they're spewing? How many children have you adopted? How many unwanted children have you helped IN ANY WAY, other than your santimonious campaigning for additional company for them?

To red white and blue.....spoken like a true redneck! You and those who think like you just don't GET IT. You think all problems that people have can be solved with one simplistic solution...work harder!! Yeah right, thank goodness we have intelligent people who know better and realize we don't all fit one mold of the human existance.

RW&B from the Midwest, are you talking about the USA when you say an industrial nation? Most factory jobs are being sent to third world countries, except the ones like meat packing. That would cost the companies too much money because they would have to ship the cattle too. So those jobs are still here. But just look at who keeps getting arrested at the meat packing plants - illegal immigrants. So tell me, don't you think we are losing our industrial title? Plenty of service jobs, a lot of them low-paying jobs. But the factory jobs that paid good money, are for the most part, gone.
