'I Had An Abortion'

So says the new shirts from Planned Parenthood. The shirts caused such an uproar that they required Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood, to make a public statement defending the decision to sell them.

This reminds me of one of my favorite debating tools when debating abortion with an individual. It goes something like this, in abortion debates, it is always common for the other party to make statements like "We all agree abortions should be rare and unnecessary", or "we all agree in an ideal world there should be no abortions". The moment they say that, I immediately respond with "why", or more specifically, "why should abortions be rare and unnecessary"? You see, the minute the person admits that abortion is anything less than "great", they have admited the pro-life position. If abortion is not the killing of an innocent human being, than why would we want abortions to be "rare and unnecessary", why would anyone "agree in an ideal world there should be no abortions"? Go ahead, try and answer.

You have to give Planned Parenthood credit for atleast remaining consistent on this issue. Planned Parenthood has figured this out, and followed the pro-abortion arguments to its logical end. If abortion is not the killing of an innocent human being, than you should be proud of it.

    I don't think the act of abortion is the issue but, the right to choose an abortion.

John Kerry And Gay Marriage

With the recent resignation of Democrat New Jersey governor, announcing his homosexual affair , and the recent California Supreme Court decision voiding homosexual certificates I thought it a good time to discuss Presidential Candidate John Kerry's view on homosexual marriage. A few months ago there was a bill going through the senate that would have created a constitutional ammendment defining marriage as only between a man and a women. Kerry used the states right argument to argue against it. Arguing that we should let the states decide instead of forcing at the federal level. That's odd he would use that argument because when a bill came through the senate pushed through by Bill Clinton, called the Defense of Marriage Act, arguing for the exact same thing, Kerry voted against it . A bill that was passed with 85% of the senate voting in favor of it, with both Democrats and Republicans voting for it. However Kerry, being the extreme liberal that he is, voted against it. In c...

The Importance Of Kerry's Cambodia Claim

Image
As I have posted on this blog before , The Swift Boat Vets against Kerry have already caught Kerry in at least one lie; the claim that he was in Cambodia on Christmas of 1968. Joshua Muravchik, writing in the Washington Post explains why that lie is so significant, he writes , After his discharge, Kerry became the leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). Once, he presented to Congress the accounts by his VVAW comrades of having "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires . . . to human genitals . . . razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan . . . poisoned foodstocks." Later it was shown that many of the stories on which Kerry based this testimony were false, some told by impostors who had stolen the identities of real GIs, but Kerry himself was not implicated in the fraud. And his own over-the-top generalization that such "crimes [were] committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command...

Do The Markets Prefer Kerry Or Bush?

Image
Eric Engen has an interesting article explaining how the markets react inversely to the Kerry Presidency. The article states, The accompanying chart plots the trading price of futures contracts for Sen. Kerry's share of votes along with the value of the S&P 500 composite index since March 3, the day after the Super Tuesday primaries. When the expected vote share rises and thus the implied probability of Sen. Kerry winning the election increases, the S&P 500 index tends to decline sharply. The pattern is consistent and significant. Given the negative response of the stock market index to increases in his electoral prospects, this suggests that a Kerry victory, or its inevitability in the run-up to the election, could cause a significant stock market decline. The correlation is apparent even when the lackluster response to Sen. Kerry and the Democratic convention depressed the value of the Kerry futures contract, and the stock market simultaneously rallied. The stock market...
