Newsflash: a law doesn't curb all illegal activity. Pre-Roe abortions happened all the time.

That's BS. The advocates and candidates simply don't talk about it. They rail against the act but rarely, if ever, about ways to prevent pregnancy or finding productive, positive alternatives to abortion. According to you, this is a genocide. Then where is the daily campaign from mainstream advocates? It barely exists. You rarely, if ever, see a mainstream campaign to lower the rate of abortions. If anything, the last true public discourse came from Bill Clinton ("Safe, legal and rare"). Where are the commercials, the public campaign, the rallies to prevent unwanted pregnancy and alternatives to abortion? The reason you only see the radicals with the fetus posters and insane rants is because that's all there really is. Message: Have an abortion and go to Hell. Gee, that's effective. I mean, this is a "war against abortion" and that's the best they can do? You don't get it. Abortions will ALWAYS occur, no matter what the law says. That's a fact. The trick is to prevent the pregnancy from the beginning or find productive, alternatives to abortion. Unfortunately for everyone, the anti-abortion movement has done very, very little to promote those positive policies. Ironically, I think it's radical, nutballs like yourself who have likely contributed to more abortions than any abortion doctor. What have YOU done to prevent unwanted pregnancies? It's not about supporting anti-abortion candidates but finding solutions that work. Until then, it's all bullshite.

If government should look out for the health and welfare of the "unborn," how come so many of those advocates appear to be against funding neo-natal, infant and children's health care programs? Why does this concern for the child seem to end at birth? How come we rarely (if ever) hear about programs to fund orphanages, child abuse programs, and after school activities? Should this mother who was willing to "kill" their "child" be allowed to parent that child? Shouldn't the government take the responsibility away from this "unfit" parent?

There is nothing to "admit," that's all fair game and I'm just as curious as you how she'll answer that line of questioning.

You're insane if you think the GOP's Sotomayor predicament is the fault of the media and Democrats.

If the GOP talked about concern for her positions on the issues and the other things you mention, then the Party would be in MUCH better shape than it is now. Unfortunately, the party is essentially led by those who called her a racist, an affirmative action selection and dismissed her as unqualified (which is ridiculous). Your anger should be directed at the idiots who couldn't keep their feet our of their mouths. (BTW, the GOP senators on Sunday morning did a good job, too bad for them it was four days, and quite a few points in polling points too late). Maybe you should tell the nutjobs to shut up and let the adults speak for the Party.

Hear that? . . . . . . . . That's the sound of the Republicans keeping their mouths shut because if they were in power they'd do the same thing. It's not cool, it's not what anyone wants to do, but it needs to be done. It sucks, but GM's immediate demise may have set off an economic tidal wave. Do we know for sure? No, but did you really want to find out?

In Kansas, I believe you can perform the procedure if the mothers life is in danger. I'm sure that's not an easy decision for anyone.

I don't know any pro-abortionists, do you?

If you can't read, I can't help you.

Jesus H. Christ. It's my friggin' post you moron.

Are you purposely playing stupid? Which part of "this has nothing to do with Anthropology" don't you understand?

Jeez Louise, this has NOTHING to do with Anthropology. (Do you REALLY think that?) It's what the community thinks of themselves. Most "Hispanic" leaders often say that the term is broader than the literal translation - "the people" "the community" "this collective, yet not homogeneous, group we call ourselves." It's all very simple yet there are those who either don't get, don't want to get it or purposely disparage it for short-term political gain. Which are you?

Good luck criticizing Obama for the Somali situation. I mean, you may have 5% of a Americans on your side. Maybe you can also attack Santa Claus for breaking and entering.

May be the most ignorant post I've ever read. It's difficult to know where to begin but if you think Hispanic is a PC/liberal term then there is likely no point engaging with ignorant morons like you.

There's also a huge difference between racial and racist.

You are a parrot of nutballs like Tancredo. That is NOT La Raz's motto, never was. Get a friggin clue.

I still say this person is another Hogboy. Either way, he should be ignored.

Good thing most Americans say your wrong. He has held countless interviews and press conferences without a teleprompter and has demonstrated a high degree of intelligence, knowledge and ability to communicate. The Right's chilidishness on the teleprompter thing is great, it just shows they got nothin' on Obama. Please keep trying to convince everyone that Obama is stupid and clueless, that's been working so well. I feel stupid just trying to explain basic politics to people like you.

For once, look something up to see the story behind the story.

You know why these sophomoric attacks don't work? Because Americans don't think Obama is stupid. Actually, they think he's quite bright and will reasonably give him the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't know every one of the literally thousands on government agencies; especially four months in. Likewise, this attack would not work with Bush I or Clinton. Bush II's problem was people really didn't think he was all there.

How about educating yourself before making lowest common denominator statements? Go look up WHY isn't called La Raza and explain what is so offensive. Moreover, It actually IS like the NAACP, Bnai Brith, and, in many ways, like the Polish and Irish societies.

How about this one? Can you guess who uttered this beauty about Judge Sotomayor? "Let's hope that the key conferences aren't when she's menstruating or something, or just before she's going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then." ANSWER
