I'm sorry. Could you point out where in Roe v. Wade the ruling states that the government must pay for contraceptives and/or abortion, or that it must mandate that insurance companies pay for these things? Cause the ruling itself was a stretch, but even it didn't go anywhere near that far.

Ah. When liberals talk about "access to X", they're usually talking about having someone else pay for it, so forgive me if I missed the switch there.

So are you arguing that the Az law violates Roe v. Wade? Care to show this? Or are you just talking out of your hat again and hoping no one will call you on it?

So the 1000000 time that Obama said that his health care reform was about providing people with "greater access to health care" he was really just talking about putting better doors into health clinics? You're kidding, right? That word is overwhelmingly used by the left to mean "someone else paying for it".



Allows. Does not require. It requires states to allow elective abortion through the end of the first trimester. It gives them leeway to restrict abortions past that point, and recommends strongly that states should limit abortions to maternal health past the point of quickening (22-24 weeks). It absolutely does not prevent a state from passing a law banning abortions except for such health cases past 20 weeks.

If you think it does (or anyone does), by all means prove it. Because that would be a wholly new and inventive re-interpretation of the ruling that I've never heard of before.

I thought I was clear that it was everything about his post, not just his unimaginative excuse to be a homophobe. When you start ranting about women getting too many abortions and not enough money being spent in outer space, well, I'll call you a virgin too. Until then, *eye socket thrust*

Learn to read. Specifically the part where I wrote "The govenrment shouldn't care who is sleeping with who" for example. The only other part in there where I reference same sex couples was when I stated they, OR OPPOSITE SEX COUPLES shouldn't get tax breaks for being married. Period.

Are you usually this dense, or do you really just not know what that word means?

Space is cool & is our future as a species, provided we don't kill each other first. I think we should spend more than less than half a penny on every tax dollar on it.

It doesn't have to be a moonbase, but not having an active shuttle program is ******* embarrassing.

I'm glad wise got extended though. Finding extra solar planets is ******* cool & is changing what we know about planet formation & stuff.

The education budget doesn't need to be expanded. The people spending the money need to learn how to spend their money smarter. The United States spends more than any other developed country (except Switzerland, apparently) on education between the ages of 6 and 15.

When I hear something like that and then find out the US is middle of the pack at best in education, it's obvious to me it's not the amount of money we're spending that's the problem.

Our education system definitely needs to be changed, I'm just not sure which direction it needs to go. Education has gone downhill since the creation of the Department of Education in 1979, but I hardly think it's all, or even mostly, the DoE's fault. It is quite telling, though, how many states have seen upticks in testing with the recent advent of "charter" schools and voucher programs. I'm very excited about some recent education reform that was passed in my home state of Louisiana, especially with a 3 year old who will be starting school soon, possibly in August.

I think parents need to take a more active role in their children's education. I think teachers need to be held accountable for students who were able to learn under a different teacher in previous years. We're falling further and further behind. America is progressively growing dumber compared to other countries, especially in things like math and science, which I think most people would agree is the future. I also think the education budget in this country needs a complete overhaul and if that means asking foreign countries for tips on how they do it, than the US needs to swallow its pride and ask for help.

Well, your Grade 12 testing scores beat ours. As a matter of pure pragmatism, I don't care if the kids are dumb as bran muffins to age 17, as long as they're beating the tests at age 18 when we boot them out into society.

Uh, yeah right. Well, have fun laughing with that huge gender gap and saying how much it doesn't matter. Hope wrestling with the semantics to convince yourself it ain't no thang makes you feel better

It's no-lose short of him having some sort of mental breakdown and physically attacking the audience. Worst case scenario is that he sucks and people say "At least he went through with it and could laugh at himself". It's not as though anyone will be expecting him to be good.

I totally want them to have him do a Romneybot skit.
