  george w bush and his right-wings friends are quietly pursuing their domestic agenda while the nations attention is focused on international terrorism.. bush's attacks on women's reproductive freedom continue.. examples;.

  1. on his first day in the oval office,bush re-instated the global gag rule,which takes family planning funds from organizations that even mention the option of abortion to their patients,risking womens lives overseas.. 2. bush has promised to re-visit the food and drug administration's approval of ru-486.and anti-abortion forces in congress have already introduced a bill to limit it's availability.. 3. with the expected retirement of 3 supreme court justices ,including sandra day o'connor,who is often the critical swing vote on abortion rights issue,bush has made it clear that he will nominate the most adamant opponents of abortion and civil rights.. the bush administration is committed to strategies that limit life saving stem cell research,criminalize abortion providers,reduce the availability of birth control and deny funding of health reproduction education in the schools.. what better way to take on the christian coalition and ultra-right leaders and movements,than to use your voice to speak up now!!.

  The granting of a writ of certiorari (Court agrees to hear the case) by the Supreme Court is indeed a victory, as such a writ is discretionary and extremely difficult to come by.

  Simon,

  No one is denying the wastefulness of the USA's use of resources, but the point is that overpopulation is the single greatest cause of environmental degradation. The population explosion is a worldwide problem, not just a US or developing country problem. Banning/restricting abortion will magnify that problem by increasing population further.

  Just a Thought:

  What planet do you live on? The population explosion is not "coming," it's here. Environmental degradation is not being sufficiently addressed by the "ways less drastic than discarding the weakest, most defenseless of our own." Hence, global warming, extinction of species, nuclear contamination, destruction of natural habitat, and pollution, to name a few environmental maladies, continue unabated and threaten to eventually destroy the earth and its inhabitants. Common sense dictates that banning/restricting abortion will only magnify these problems by increasing population.

  Your assertion that abortion should have improved the judicial/crime problem is meaningless, as there is no way to objectively determine the effect of abortion on crime.

  Just a thought, you've failed miserably to answer the questions raised by my post.

  Target,

  Have you any idea what the waiting list is like to adopt an infant?

  There's no waiting list to adopt minority kids, only white ones. Banning/restricting abortion will increase the number of unwanted kids. All the anti-choice folks should demonstrate their sincerity to their cause by adopting a minority child.

  Also, your conclusion that I believe most abortions are performed on the poor lacks any basis in the post I made, or in fact. Abortions are indeed had by all socioeconomic classes, but minority kids have the most difficulty getting adopted. The lack of a caring, nurturing family life (which is also experienced by many JW kids) often leads to emotional problems that manifest themselves in the form of criminal conduct.

  Abortion is not killing babies, it is terminating a fetus. I am offended by fascist right wing zealots who don't respect the freedoms this country stands for, including the right for woman to make choices with respect to their physical well-being. This is the USA, if you don't like it here, get out and live in a country with a totalitarian form of government.

  Target, you have also failed to answer the questions raised by my post. I'm not surprised, as there is no anti-choice answer that will make any sense.

  Juit, Rhett, Larc, and Target:

  Who will pay for the costs of raising the multitudes of unwanted children that would result from restriction/ban of abortion? Who will pay for the costs of incarcerating the high proportion of such kids who will become part of our judicial system? Who will pay restitution to the victims of the crime generated by these individuals?

  Do you have any comprehension of the detrimental impact on the environment caused by the population explosion? More people equals more trash, more pollution, more consumption of natural resources, and more destruction of natural habitat. Do you believe that humans should overpopulate the earth? If so, what benefits to the earth do you foresee by such human overpopulation? How would you mitigate the exacerbation of the population explosion an abortion restriction/ban would occasion?

  BTW, your arguments that your tax dollars should not go to funding abortions are financially irresponsible. A taxpayer funded abortion will be much less costly than the cost of the government-sponsored social services that will be necessary to pay the social services and judicical costs of raising these unwanted children.

  Rhett, too bad your mother didn't practice the abstinence advocated by the Bush administration. It would have meant one less cold-hearted asshole in the world.

  Tough Question for ExElders...

  by Xena in

  2. friends

  with a friend suddenly confronted with the prospect of being disfellowshiped recently it got me wondering about how an elder feels the first time he disfellowships someone.. the first time you disfellowshiped someone was there regret?

  sadness?

  or a sense of justice?.

  Xena,

  Are you feeling OK? You asked a whole series of questions for those who are ex-elders, and none of the questions related to sex. Conduct unbecoming to an apostate?

  Peace,

  I'm not advocating violence, but Beth deserves to get her ass kicked! I wouldn't tolerate her bullshit, I'd confront her head on and let the chips fall where they will.

  You're a special person and I hope it all works out for you. In the meantime, don't forget to make liberal use of the "Limpe'" to correct Beth's behavioral problems!

  Partaking of the emblems

  by pralis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i've always been curious as to the reasons why only "the anointed" were permitted to partake of the emblems at the memorial.

  we all know that the wtbts says the "other sheep" are the non-anointed christians who merely observe the memorial (by the way, by "other sheep" jesus was talking about the gentiles that would become part of the new covenant; he wasn't referring to some strange class of non-anointed christians).

  they've often compared the situation to the foreigners in the congregation of israel who were not permitted to observe the passover (see exodus 12:38, 43 -- they draw this correlation because the memorial is the replacement for the passover observance).

  I'm one of the annointed, and I'm pissed off at the congregation for serving me cheap wine and crackers without cheese. This year, I'm gonna sneak in a 40 ouncer of my Old English 800, swag it in the toilet, and invite the hot sisters upstairs for a little fornication and pornea. While the Jdubs are passing the brew, I'll be fondling the crew! Whoo ya!

  Your daughter's dress is likely to be too long for my church, which I am the pastor of. Anything longer than a thong bikini is outlawed in my holy temple. Please send her here for some spiritual guidance and counseling. Thanks and don't forget to put some cash in the contribution box.
