My horse bit me. It hurt. I almost cried. No-one will win this debate. Whenever we start talking about abortion it will eventually lead directly to religion. Then the fireworks will fly. I do however think that we are losing to many of our rights when it comes to health-care. That being said I also think that ANY pregnancy should be discussed to the smallest point before A decision is made on the life that is directly involved including what A wonderful experience raising A family is and the satisfaction of looking back on A life well spent. If A doctor is in fear of A lawsuit his judgement WILL be affected and health care will always be the victim. Do the doctors need protection? Not if they're ethical in what they practise.

War on Women continues???? I didn't know there was a war against them right now! Someone should have told me. I got a few I've been wanting to take out!

I was kind of fond of the "War on Poverty", envisioned money guns, aimed at me of course, ending my impoverishment. When that didn't occur, I reverted to old fashioned tactics like long hours, saving, education, stuff like that. Still, would like to get a glimpse of that money gun.

Just as the years of Prohibition created Organized crime, the only thing that has really come out of it has been the creation of Narco-Terroristic governments that can attack us with military force and internationally syndicated street gangs making big bucks because of the inflation of the cost of illegal drugs caused almost exclusively by "The War on Drugs". I can't think of a clearer illustration of Jefferson's warning regarding the surrender of liberty in the name of security. We have lost a tremendous amount of personal liberty in the name of security because of the war on drugs, and now we are reaching the point where we have neither.

Very well said! I know I've stated this number before but I'll say it again: Over 20,000,000 United States citizens imprisoned for marajuana laws created during the "war on drugs!" How outrageous a number is that?

How come nobody's quoted Benjamin Franklin yet? That's usually my favorite part of reading these political pissing matches on here.

"Those who would give up their precious liberties in exchange for security deserve neither" (or close to that) was always attributed to B.F., or so I thought, although someone above gives Jefferson the credit. I may be wrong, since I'm only relying on an already aged, and still aging memory.
