Planned Parenthood was founded by a genocidal racist and aids and abetts child molestors. The abortion industry harbors doctors who hurt women because they can’t find another doctors to do abortions. As for contraception, 58% of women who had abortions were using contraception before they got abortion, so the idea that using contraception presents abortion is nonsense.

Julie the far left opposes parental notiication and parental consent, which 80 +% of the American people support, opposes 24 hour waiting periods for abortion (while in many cases supporting waiting periods for handguns), opposes informed consent. In my old state of Montana, the far left sued to overturn a law that required that only physicians be able to perform abortion. These are regulations that make abortion safer and rarer, yet they are opposed by the far left. When the opposition to these type of common sense measures stops, I’ll reconsider whether “Safe, legal, and rare” actually means anything.

I’ve never said I have any problems with people using non-abortifacient birth control (such as diphrams, condoms, what have you), vassectomies, having tubes tied, etc. yet you mischaracterized me as wanting to force every one to have as many children as God wants them to have. So in asking me stop mischaracterizing the left’s position, you’re choosing to mischaracterize mine. And if you went to the Democratic Convention and listened carefully, you saw Republicans mischaracterized all over the place. It was not an honest discussion of what the GOP actually believed, but rather was filled with exaggerations to throw red beat to the base.

Every abortion is a tragedy. But because abortions have happened throughout history and will never go away, we must be realistic and keep the procedure “safe, legal, and rare” (I still like that phrase). You demonize Planned Parenthood, but no organization in this country has prevented more abortions by helping women access contraceptive services (namely the Pill) that help women decide whether and when to have children.

Of course, I realize that you believe birth control is wrong and that women should have as many children as God wants us to have, and so you oppose contraception, too. But that’s a fringe view and also one incompatible with being able to sustain life on our planet, at this point in our history.

Please stop mischaracterizing progressives’ views.

No one’s saying it is sufficient. But it is a part of who she is, it says something important about her, and it is most definitely praiseworthy.

She is a gas bag who should just drop into the obscurity she came from (After running Lucent/Nortel into the Ground)

That said, she has run a state, and her experience is almost exclusively executive.

And I’m not sure how Obama could attack Palin for a lack of experience, seeing as how at best he’s almost as experienced as she is, and he’s actually running for president rather than as vice president. Though it looks like his campaign is falling for the trap.

The fact that Sarah Palin is a Vandal and an Idaho native may hurt my side by a few percentage points here in the Gem State, though not nearly as badly as Mitt Romney could have. But nationally, this choice is being derided among the worst in history.

The VP pick is a presidential hopeful’s first big decision. It’s good to know you’ll agree (and disagree with your friend Bryan F) that McCain blew his.
