    Gah. I bluntly refuse to vote on abortion. The Republicans had 6 years of Pres+senate+House of Reps and accomplished almost nothing. They don't give a about abortion, they're just looking for votes.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    What's next? A 'vegetarian case against Obama', sponsored by Vegetarians Against Abortion?

    Hmmmm.... People from one end of the political spectrum have a problem with a guy from the other side?

    I'm shocked!

    Since I can't find another abortion thread, this story about fetal viability is amazing.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Link

    A premature baby who was pronounced dead "came back to life" Sunday after five hours in Nahariya Hospital.

    The baby girl, who was in a cooler at the hospital, suddenly showed signs of life and was being treated in the premature baby unit.

    Doctors estimated that the cooler brought the fetus "back to life."

    The mother, 26, from a Western Galilee village, was in the fifth month of her pregnancy when she underwent a series of tests, during which it was discovered that she was suffering from internal bleeding and that the fetus had ceased to show signs of life.

    The woman underwent an abortion and the baby, weighing 610 grams, was extracted from her womb without a pulse, hospital officials said.

    A senior doctor pronounced the baby dead and she was transferred to the cooler.

    Five hours later, the woman's husband came to the hospital to take what he thought was his dead baby girl for burial.

    When the baby was taken out of the cooler, she began to breathe. The premature baby was then taken to the intensive care ward, where doctors were attempting to save her life.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

    And let's not forget that these salfsame Catholics have no problem with torture, even though that is also supposed to be a deal-breaker. See, Catholic values trump everything, except when they don't. Why ask for consistency?
