Eric Keroack, appointed in November by President Bush to oversee federal family planning programs, has resigned. Keroack was a nationally known advocate of abstinence until marriage who had worked for a Christian pregnancy counseling group that opposes contraception. Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards responded, “It’s a good day for women’s health. … The Bush administration must replace Keroack with a legitimate, mainstream public health expert who supports family planning and access to birth control.”
UPDATE: Ann at Feministing has more on Keroack’s ethics problems.

Answer to Bush Veto:
A member from the House and Senate each introduce a bill to fund bringing our troops home now.
After all, Bush vetoed (coming soon) the bill to fund them (and protect them while they’re in harm (sic) way), so if bush doesn’t want to fund them, we’d better bring them home right now… and here’s the money to do so.
What do you think?

March 29th, 2007 at 10:24 pmIf I married the first girl that I had sex with I would be in jail or a mental institution by now. And as far as god’s gift…I only remember the two of us there. And who gives the gift to the heathens when they bump uglies?

Who guarantees you the lock on the truth? If I say your “Christian” god is a false precept based upon the word of man, how can you prove me wrong? Remember, you can’t cite the Bible, because the Bible, as written, is a perversion of god’s word, and was written by man.

I hear what you’re saying: Silence (when he vetoes it), but politically, I’m afraid, that will hurt us. Silence from us can be successfully described by them as “non-patriotic.” My post referred to not only stopping this war, but dealing with it politically that the public will support.
I wish every Democrat just said: NO MORE MONEY FOR THE WAR, but I understand that’s not realistic and that we have to settle for the next best thing. I’m sad to say this, but we just don’t have the votes to stop the funding. We have to find the best alternative, I think.

Would you like to go back to early Christian times, when children got married (an arranged marriage by their parents, by the way) soon after puberty?
Would you like to see junior high school children entering into Holy Matrimony for the rest of their natural lives?
Without the opportunity for divorce, except in the case of adultery?
How many problems would that create, in our society?

Doesn’t that make God pretty incompetent if he took almost 2000 years to reach the Americans, while millions died in sin and were condemned to *hell*? Pretty unchristian of god - don’t you think?
If god was so intent on humanity knowing his gifts, why were the millions of new world inhabitants unaware of Noah, or his *teachings*? Pretty obscene of God to condemn the world, just because he wouldn’t teach them.
Then again, the *ideas* of you right wingnut religious Taliban type always break down under *reason*. That’s why you hate separation of church and state, and democracy. Too much *liberalism* that breeds people that can think for themselves. Then there are the *idiots* like you that despite all of the gifts of this country, still sound more like an Al Qaeda terrorist - than an American.

People would just get married earlier and the divorce rate would become even higher than it is today. Married people cheat on their spouses and today are a cause of spreading disease just as non-married people do. Unwanted pregancies would still occur because of cheating. You cannot create a law to enforce no sex before marriage any more than you can create a law (prohibition) to stop people from drinking alcohol.

As it was hypothetical question so follows the answer. The bible has been around for a long time. And as you said earlier 90 of American believe in a God or higher power. Then we can argue that religion has not cured the problems you associate with sex before marriage.

No, you asked a hypothetical question, if you only want answers that you agree with then it’s not hypothetical. HIV won’t be cured by not having sex. It will be cured thru science just as polio was. You may as well say cancer will be cured thru not having sex before marriage.
The thing is Jake people will always find a way to have sex married or not.

At 75 years old he’s had many years to perfect that winnowing out the weak from the herd. Of course as soon as he finds that person is wise to him he strikes back and gives up the “grooming phase†of the victim. After all if he’s not getting anything out of it why pretend to be nice.

Abortion has been around since the beginning of time. Women had ways and at the same time remained true to their spirituality. To the Christian crazies out there - Do you suppose God added morning sickness to the first 3 months of pregnancy as woman would be deterred unless she truly wanted and was ready to have a child? A way of preserving the human race?

On a mountaintop shines a light
Day and night it shines so bright
It is seen as far as you can see
Across the lands, oceans and seas
This light is an everlasting beam
To remind us where we have been
And to guide us to where we must go
This light exists in all of us to know
Few choose to know, others turn away
Only to be reminded of the lights ray
This light that shines so bright always
Is Jesus smiling face with all His glory
Summoning His children to come home
With open arms there is plenty of love

March 30th, 2007 at 1:00 amLet’s define a few terms up front too:
Pregnancy = fertilization, not implantation in the womb
Contraception = preventing pregnancy
Comment by Jake — March 29, 2007 @ 10:20 pm
Uhhhhh, Jake baybee, pregancy DOES equal (=) fertilization and implantation in the womb (otherwise known as the uterus). Biology 101… C’mon, didn’t you see those films in school? If not, here’s a Cliff Notes version….
Female, mid cycle, ovulates and emits an egg into her fallopian tubes, ripe for fertilization. Man and woman have sex in the biblical form and man ejaculates in the woman. One of man’s sperm searches out and pierces the shell of woman’s egg and fertilization occurs; locking all other sperm out. Fertizilized egg hangs for a while, in the fallopian tube, splitting the fertizlized egg into two, four, eight, sixteen, etc., cells until it travels down the tube into the uterus and finds a comfy spot. Once the zygote implants itself in the uteran wall, a placenta begins to grow; the source of life and the multi-cell organism (otherwise now known as an embryo) begins to grow. The woman is pregnant. If the fertilized egg implants itself in the walls of the fallopian tubes, the mother is still pregnant, but she and her embryo, are destined for certain death unless a physician notices the condition or the woman is admitted to the hospital at three moths under excuriciating pain. But you knew this already, right?
If you were my partner (and this is highly hypothetical), I’d have a sex surregate. If you are that stupid to not understand human biology, screw someone else.

2) Do you think FDR / Truman were “peacemakers†considering the lasting peace they acheived with Germany / Japan?
3) That took “war†though, didn’t it?
4) Are Viking and JetMech sockpuppets?
As I told you above, it is neither rational nor realistic to expect me to continue answering all of your questions when I don’t get the same common courtesy in return.
March 30th, 2007 at 1:02 amNot Jake’s Egg Donor:
Did you know that, until recently, standard medical textbooks defined pregnancy as fertilization (regardless of implantation)? It was not until the PC “birth control” craze that pregnancy had to include implantation as well. BTW: ectopic pregnancies do not necessarily have to end in certain death for both (although death is always a certainty given the human condition, some unfortunately just sooner than later — prayers and thoughts for RUCerious of course).
March 30th, 2007 at 1:07 amComment by Not Jake’s Egg Donor
Since Jake showed up here, he’s insisted that pregnancy is at fertilization, not implantation. It doesn’t matter how much information he’s given to the contrary — Jake just knows better.
Somehow we need to re-work the miscarriage rate — in JakeWorld it’s astronomical!
I expect that soon Jake will advocate the arrest and imprisonment of women who turn down dates on Saturday nights — if she’s ovulating, a potential pregnancy has been thwarted!
March 30th, 2007 at 1:07 amComment by Not Jake’s Egg Donor — March 30, 2007 @ 1:00 am
You are SO ON THE LIST! I had one of those tubal pregnancies and I suppose the Jake-types would rather the mother died than have that pregnancy terminated. After all it is only the unborn life they have respect for. We brought up the 1/3 of pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion but since so many of us are on THE LIST we didn’t get a response.
March 30th, 2007 at 1:08 amthere is nothing “common” about your courtesy, Jake.

Wow. Birth control is a “PC” craze. And hey, the science advanced and improved, so the definition of pregnancy was perfected. Jake, you’re a moron.

2) Do you think FDR / Truman were “peacemakers†considering the lasting peace they acheived with Germany / Japan?
That war was fomented by these peacemakers. In the worlds history thats a blink of an eye. As you know the neo-cons are fomenting a clash of the civilizations.
3) That took “war†though, didn’t it?
War is war. Peace is moderation. Did we go to war with Russia?

Jake about 1 in 100,000 ectopic pregnancies migrate out of fallopian tubes but they do not implant in the uterus. So if the other 99,999 don’t terminate the pregnancy they will die from a ruptured tube. Which is why up until the last 50 year women routinely predeceased their husbands. So are you saying you believe that this termination of pregnancy is also a sin - I think god wants to talk to you again.

March 30th, 2007 at 1:28 amJake seems to be proof that No Child Left Behind should be extended to adult education. If pregnancy were the same as fertilization, we’d have a lot of happy in vitro parents. A fertilized egg is not a pregnancy until it’s successfullly implanted in the womb. That doesn’t happen a lot. But relying on it not happening is not very good family planning. Neither is that aspirin between the knees. But then Jake knows that.
The cynical apointment of Dr. Keroack was the same as appointing a lumber and mining lobbyist to run Interior, or someone from DuPont, Dow or ADM to run the EPA. That’s just what this President does; Mr. Rove considers it a lost opportunity to do anything else.
That’s not government. It’s just rape and pillage modernized by an MBA, Karl Rove’s rolodex, and Ken Mehlman’s supercomputer.

March 30th, 2007 at 1:35 amHAH!
#177 Most people do not agree with Jake so arguing with him feeds his ego and wastes time. It seems there is an open slot once held by Eric Keroack. So since Jake has nothing to do with it we should discuss options based on that realization. If creationism is true it does not matter since there is the separation of church and state. If Darwin is correct then we are dealing with superstition. Regardless, creating children that will suffer in harsh poverty is the only option expressed by Jake. He can’t see that if overpopulation is not brought down through reason then there will and must be die-offs or EXTINCTION will result.
We have to do the worrying since Jake is finished regardless being 75 years old. Those of us with children have problems to face. We are running out of energy FAST and look at the mess things are now in. Again, who cares about Jake regarding this topic? He can’t relate, @ 75 he should not consider fathering at this late date and he does not know about divorce. None of that has to do wit
