I guess that's a matter of perspective NK, the doctor is the one actually taking the life of the child - I guess you could say "murder for hire."

This is one area where I can actually feel comfortable playing the victim card. When abortion advocates have not only encouraged abortion - virtually made it their raison d'être - spent years desensitizing the public, sanitizing it as "choice," "health care," "reproductive freedom," denying the humanity of the child, what do you expect? Women have been deceived into believing abortion is nothing more than a legal, minor surgical procedure. Why punish the mother?

If the SCOTUS would just declare that the babe in utro is a citizen and has civil rights this slaughter would come to a screeching halt. I know, then the women will go to some back alley. But then, there would be the possibility of prosecution for everyone involved. The number of abortions would become statistically insignificant.

This is such a sad an painful issue and I would never voice my opinion on this issue. The reason for that is I just can't imagine the pain one must carry knowing what took place.
I would never point at someone's wound. Sorry, it's not making sense. I guess what I am saying is, it is too painful the whole thing and I just hurt for everyone and just can not even imagine what they must carry with them and would never stand in judgement. I hurt the way the must hurt. Anyway...

In high school, we saw a film about abortion. And unlike the Catholic school at that time, the ending was graphic and real. It showed what happens to the babies after the procedure. Where they all end up. Just would scar you for life to see.

I pray and feel for anyone who has ever had to contend with this issue.

Yes, and there are still billions of chickens that remember Col. Sanders as the worst terrorist to ever live. Terrorism comes in many forms. There are evil doors everywhere. We must work to crush terrorism at every turn.

OK, I got to go puke now. Scuse Me.

If an issue is that sad and painful to you, that's the time to voice an opinion. It just might help someone else avoid facing that pain.

Speech I hear you. I actually did March on Washington while in high school.

If I were asked, prior to it happening, I would in no uncertain terms share my belief.

My biggest fear, is the pain that I would cause, vocing my belief and someone seeing it or hearing it, after they had already acted on their decision. What good would that kind of pain cause. And that is my uge struggle for keeping it to myself.

I'm a head case I know. But an admitted one. Just feel bad for the Mr. :o

Speech - thank you so much. It's not intentional - I promise you that.

I picked it because it concerned me that I always thought with my heart and not my head.
When it comes to "thought" questions, you will see how much I struggle. It doesn't mean I am a good person, it's that I only use one tool :(. Not meaning to put myself down, just explaining :). And fessing up :).

It's when I use my head that all goes plllllllllllp. Not very well.

But thank you very much.

Methinks you may be a little too hard on yourself at times. :)

Apparently white-supremacists are a big concern to the author and right-wing terrorists are "extremists" while left-wing terrorists are merely "activists." Sounds noble doesn't it?

While you might be right and there might be some secret ulterior motive from the writer to evoke thoughts of right-wingers being "extremists" while left-wingers are merely "activists", it is my opinion that's a bit of a reach. :) From the standpoint of a writer, it is cumbersome to use the same term multiple times in a sentence or in a short paragraph; I suspect that is why you see the difference in terms used. It's a pretty short article, only 580 words.

The word "extremist" appears ten times in the article; including the headline. Five times it's used in conjunction with the word "domestic", twice as a descriptive word, twice with "right-wing" before it and once referencing environmentalists (left wingers). The first reference to "activists" is used with "environmental", which is common language, so to me, it's not an indication of bias from the author's standpoint. The second time it's used it is coupled with "left-wing", but it's used 14 words after the word "extremists", which, in my opinion is better because it would be awkward to use the same word twice in the same sentence. Of the three times in the article the author mentions "environmentalists" with a party affiliation, twice it's used with "activist" (which, as I already said is common language) and once it's used with "extremist".

Oh, and the three references to "white supremacists" were to illustrate the three types of extremist groups; political, religious and youth. It makes the most sense to use the same type of organization to illustrate this point because then the reader can see groups protesting the same thing can have different motivations.

So my opinion? Your panties and in a wad for 'nuthin! :D

There were some survivors. Chickens can't write (Chicken Scratch) so they pass down the stories generation to generation.
