So let me get this straight. These women are basically held as slave labor with no rights whatsoever, and the only thing Curtis and company are concerned about are their fetuses?

They are also sex slaves, hence the forced abortions. The fundies obviously have no problem with sex slaves, but they should be forced to give birth to the result of the rape, rather being forced to abort it.

I think he forgot to mention he also got TEN rugs for five dollars

wow…just wow…

Isn’t that a tad weak ? Is he saying they didn’t hold the abortions in the middle of the public square and toured him around the other side of the square ?

Is he saying that he didn’t observe a forced abortion but observed a few dozen un-forced ones ?

I support a woman’s right to choose, and her pregnancy should be between her and her doctor, and abortion should be kept safe, legal, and (hopefully) rare.

However, when women are FORCED to have abortions, this is unconscionable. This has nothing to do with a woman’s right to choose — in fact, her “choice” is completely taken away from her.

The United States has too much invested in China to make a whole lot of noise about this issue, and must pretty much look the other way when it comes to China’s abortion practices, even if those practices reach over to Chinese workers working outside of China.

Even though the Northern Mariana Islands is an American territory, and even though Schaffer’s trip was an obvious Abramoff-paid boondoggle where Schaffer only saw what he was supposed to see, and even though Colorado Right To Life is correct in calling attention to this, I don’t expect anything to be done. Our leaders will never offend the Chinese.

Now that the right-to-lifers are attacking their own candidate, let’s see what happens.

Any Coloradans in here? Can you shed any light as to how this might affet the race, if at all?

“Duh” indeed!

Bless your trousers, sir, and salud!

Well, duh!

It’s the “Right to Life” movement, not the “Right to QUALITY of Life” movement.

Because you were too busy dodging machine gun fire and IED’s going off………

Wicked pithy comments! Demonstrably sometimes less is more!

I flagged as ‘recommend’ for being so wicked.

Thanks.
It’s the difference between progressives and conservatives. Progressives at least try to imagine what may be beyond their personal experience, Conservatives REFUSE to do so.

They spruced up the place for Schaffer’s visit for 5 days. And stopped hurting the women while he was there; I guess he never bothered to talk to any of them. What was I thinking, that would have cut into his time on the boat fishing and sunbathing.

He probably never went into the building. This way he didn’t see anything he wasn’t suppose to.

It’s the SYMPTOMS that are to be decried, NOT THE CAUSE, according to RTL, and only the individual enabler and not his suppprters who should now be punished–with temporary unemployment!

What happened to “hate the sin, not the sinner”?
RTL is hating the sinner (Shaffer and these more than unfortunate women), but loving the sin (of abortion).

“I just stayed in my hotel room and watched porn.”

Ergo anything beyond my realm of personal experience has never happened or doesn’t exist.

On this basis I hereby declare my intention to run as a Republican candidate for the US Senate in 2008.

I think you summed it up perfectly, you definitely have the Republican rhetoric down pat. LOL-Thanks
