      I've always said that if we'd redefine the death penalty as extreme post natal abortion the wingnuts would go away for at least a century until they could evolve past their exploding heads.

      I didn't know that the men at Gitmo had female reproduction organs. Since when did Ann become an expert in child birth? She has no children thank goodness.

      To Sean, Ann can do no wrong. He worships this woman like a goddess. I beginning to believe he cares more about Ann than his wife.

        FNC Liberal,

        I believe Annie is an expert on a woman having male reproductive organs. So she qualifies to comment in this field. How can she have children? She is too busy.

        I think SeannieTheSissy has NO idea what is right or wrong. He has handlers who point the SissyRunningLyingAboutBeingWaterboardedHateLovingCon in the right direction and give him words to say. Annie probably laughs at him behind his back.

      The point is (and I think all of you know it),that partial birth abortion is murder, which is far more tortuous that waterboarding that hasn't killed anyone.

      personally i don't care about abortion, the point is how can the left defend itself about human rights and torture when they kill their own.

      Prior to responding I am not talking about when is an egg actually a human being etc etc etc, we are talking after birth (partial birth) actually killing a baby that has done nothing wrong, not a suspected terrorist which the left is so vehemently trying to defend.

        So you pretend to understand a liberal position and our concerns on abortion. In the space of 40 odd words you've determined that we're all souless baby torturing enthusiats whose real sympathies are alined with world terrorism.
        Thanks for bringing so much lite to the conversation. Still I wonder what wonderful plans you'd my have for my future participation in our collective societal endevors.

          Weston I didn't determine that "you were all souless", the question still remains why is partial birth abortion, not torture, and why is nobody on the far left screaming about human rights when a baby has a device drilled into their skulls and their brains are sucked out until they die.

            Its not torture because you say it is. If you say we are enabling torture then we're not people whose opinions matter.
            Abortion has a long history. No one revells in it. Its unfortunate in many ways. Its also the bearing woman's call. Unless you, I,or someone offers to be a surrogate mother in the case its not our business to force her into complanence with our wishes.
            If all the energy put into anti abortion efforts were instead focussed upon creating a society in which any woman felt few fears for the process of giving birth and knew society would support her in raising her children. Abortion rates would drop dramaticly.
            As a characature image, a pro life labeled mind somewhere is going, "Well where's the fun in that?"

              Actually, I posted a link the other day to a group of tancredo supporters who do revell in torture. They believe it is god's will because it will scare Osama Bin Laden enough to surrender among other things. One of those ends justifies the means arguments.

            By your logic, Republicons are pro-life but kill innocent women by approving of illegal wars..and voting for them.

            Most people on this site are not pro-abortion but Repubs are pro-killing the infidels. Nice choice those loving Repubs make.

            This post is about the absurdity of Coulters' comments. Go fight your abortion battle with Bush/Chene and the Repubs who bitch about it during the election cycle and do nothing after being elected.

            P.S. If someone murders someone else, they should be prosecuted.

              No one is "pro-abortion." I believe abortions should be rare. But I also believe they should be available to any woman who has to make a decision that is one of the most difficult she will ever face.

              The United Nations has found that as many as 50,000,000 children may have died in Africa as a result of the unnecessary banning of DDT. While we're prosecuting Republicans for their 'illegal war" can we also prosecute environmentalists for their criminal negligence leading to death?

              Also, quite a number of prominent Democrats voted to authorise that "illegal war." Can they be included in the prosecutions the way Pelosi is going to be included in any prosecutions for the use of waterboarding?

              At least you got something right about Coulter's comment. Absurdity. She was pointing out the absurdity of making an issue out of waterboarding when a variety of abortion procedures far exceed that in brutality and lethality and yet are defended by many of the same people who get upset over the idea of the use of non-lethal interogation techniques.

        partial birth abortion is murder, which is far more tortuous that waterboarding that hasn't killed anyone.


        Do you know what the word "tortuous" means? I do not believe it means what you think it does. It means "winding," or "serpentine."

        As your hero Limbaugh says, "words mean things." In your case it means you're bone ignorant.

          let's use definitions from the dictionary then:

          Murder- to kill someone inhumanely or barbarously.

          I think that pretty much sums up partial birth abortion.

            That's funny, the definition you cite is the second listed by the Oxford English Dictionary. Maybe you missed the one that appeared right before it? You know, the one that reads, "To kill (a person) unlawfully spec. with malice aforethought (in early use often with the additional notion of concealment of the offence)"?

            I'm sure it's easy for you to ignore things like lawfulness and personhood, but in this case they're just a wee bit relevant.

            Not quite. It is impossible to "sum up" something that does not exist, and there is no such thing as "partial birth abortion."

      The Republican Hannity/Coulter/Christian opinion on end of life issues is frightening. (Read King Solomon's words in Ecclesiates, Chapter Four) As a prostate cancer patient, I was ask if I feared death? My answer was NO since I realize that death is inevitable and I believe in the Deist God.

      What I do fear about the situation is lying on my death bed in a coma, attached to a respirator/feeding tube and having George W. Bush, Hannity, Coulter, Fox News and the Terry Schiavo demonstrators come busting into the hospice room trying to stop my doctor from "pulling the plug!"

        gwmok, I gave your post a thumbs up.I think it's important for people like you to express your opinions. Many sane people may be inclined to write off the nonsensical ramblings of pinheads like Coulter, assuming nobody takes her seriously, and nobody could be mentally stunted enough to describe her rants as "true" or "funny".

        Decent Americans can become complacent in thinking Coulter and her type represent only their own money-grubbing propagandizing selves, so it's good to be reminded that there are actually humans out there who are buying it.

        Thank you, you are useful.

        Torture doesn't work. So you are OK with using ineffective methods inthe name of national security. Torturing someone for information is like slashing your tires because you've run out of gas. You end up with slashed tires, and the car still won't go anywhere.

        It's also like invading Iraq because 17 Saudis attacked the US.

      I don't cotton much to Ms. Coulter, but, damn, how can a partial birth abortion be performed on a male? Most of our detainees are men (or boys...or were boys when picked up), so how are they gonna get preggers to even be subject to any kind of gynecological surgery? Unless she's figured out how to get guys pregnant? Wow!

      OK, I realize she meant they should never have been born--but, oh my, she is pretty messed up, no?

        Do NeoCons now "know" not only which countries have WMD so that they must be preventively invaded, but now they know which fetuses will become political liberals?

        Of course, with their track record, not a good idea to let them choose...either countries to invade or future libs.

        That's too easy. The same way it is performed on fetuses as they "crown" on their way to becoming infants. A hole is punched into the top of their heads and their brains are scrambled using any hard instrument. Then the remaining intact corpse is pulled out of the vaginal canal using forceps and the umbilicus is clamped and severed just as it was when each of us is born. Occassionally some of the lower level brain functions have survived and the heart still beats and lungs can breath. In these cases the mutilated body is taken to what's called a "dirty" or "soiled" utility room, the room where waste materials are taken for diposal. Since the fetus has made that few inch passage into the world it is now an infant and theoretically is now entitled to the same civil rights you and I hope to enjoy. However, thanks to Legislators like Barak Obama, who was an active supporter of this procedure in the Illinois Legislature, the injured infant is left on a tray or pan in the Soiled Utility room to die of exsanguination, hypothermia, anoxia or starvation, whichever kills it first. Since this infant has been denied the staus of humanity, it is usually packageded of along with other biological waste and sent to a contrator for incineration.

      Coulter is better in print. I know she's got the blond hair and the ubiquitous cocktail dress, but her schtick is old hat. She's a better writer than a stand up.

      The preciousness anne so misconstrued isn't abortion that liberals fight for,it is the rights of individuals and not the state to intervene in private and personal issues.Abortion is a topic that fits in those lines.
      Anne should appreciate the Left's concern over what women can and can't do to their bodies.
      I've always found it interesting how conservatives defend policies that are adverse to their own interests.
