I don’t know, but if some random girl somewhere complains about
birth control, democrats should have to justify it.

And BTW missmolly, republicans are MUCH MUCH more worried about trying to stifle women’s sexuality than they are trying to “preserve life” or “prevent abortions” or anything like that. They’d rather a million people die of disease or overpopulation than talk about birth control. Considering that dropping bombs, one of the republicans favorite past times, is basically an abortion that kills the mother also, I’d say thier interest in preserving life is, at best, extremely selective, and at worst, downright hipocritical…

Don’t you think it is odd that someone wants to blame the government because they were irresponsible and didn’t “keep their legs crossed”.

The only person mentioning this story is you. This doesn’t even register on the lib outrage meter. I doubt anybody here will blame Bush for this young woman’s ruined vacation, as she had a number of viable alternative choices she could have made. If you’re really feeling argumentative, try to find a target with less straw.

But this brings up one point — albeit a small one: does anybody find it odd that the party that’s so against abortion doesn’t want to do more to prevent unwanted pregnancies than to just say “keep your legs crossed”?

Sounds a lot like:

“We are not goting to ahve them crawling through all of our papers. After all, WE are the President”

Don’t it?

Why does this administration love stone walls?

Use: Pedro, your immerd has escaped into your maize plantation – better break out the hose again to chase them off…

FTA:
At times the hoarding of power provides cities around power plants with 24 hours of uninterrupted electricity, a luxury that is unheard of in Baghdad, where residents say they generally get two to six hours of power a day.

Do you honestly believe that most Iraqis have electricity in their homes for more than ten or twelve hours a day? I would be quite cautious to give much credence to what the American government tells the American people and the rest of the world.

I thought I’d share :

So, it has come to this: A 20-year-old Illinois college student is whining because she won’t be able to vacation in Costa Rica, because she got pregnant, because she couldn’t get birth control anymore, because it cost $20-a-month more at the university clinic, because its federal funding was cut, because President George Bush signed the Deficit Reduction Act.

Boy, doesn’t that beat all. Bush lied to us, got us into an unnecessary war and now he got a 20-year-old pregnant and denied her the entitlement of drinking mai tais on a tropical beach.

Welcome to modern entitlement society, where ‘low incomes’ cannot afford birth control, but can afford to vacation in the Caribbean.

I did, I just couldn’t resist the Poland joke.

And Dubya’s life has been filled with getting things he didn’t earn through family connections, failing at his business ventures, etc. Even his being annointed for the presidency came from his family connections and his “fitting the suit” (we all know that Cheney is running the actual show).

He wouldn’t be worthless if we could point to something he accomplished in his life that benefitted humanity more than it did his direct benefactors.
