Just a note for Janet to let her know that the District Court Judge in
Texas does not agree with her that students have no rights. According
to him, the First Amendment still applies to students.

Looks to me like the First Amendment part is still unclear.
------------------------------------------------
State District Judge Steven Thomas said the banners are protected by
the Constitution, Fox News reported.

But he didn�t rule whether the banners are protected under the First
Amendment�s free speech provisions, Fox News reported.

He said no law �prohibits cheerleaders from using religious-themed
banners at school sporting events,� in his ruling. But the Freedom
From Religion Foundation had argued the banners represented a
violation of the First Amendment�s prohibition against government
establishing a religion, and the judge�s ruling did not address that
argument specifically.

Nice to know, however this is nothing close to the situation where I was
told by the ACLU that minors did not have the same civil rights as adults.

That is NOT the way you phrased it. You stated that minors have
NO rights and said you got that information from the ACLU.

But your contention here was that minors do not have rights. Just
pointing out that a Texas judge doesn't agree with you.

Who brought the suit? A minor is not sui juris and can't file a law
suit on his or her own. An adult had to be appointed as guardian ad
litem to file the suit.

Irrelevant - when the Judge said the cheerleaders had the right to put
religious sayings on their banners, your position was dead. Rights are
rights - minors have rights. Might not be the same rights (or
administered in the same manner) but minors DO have rights. Your claim
was that they did not, and the judge granting them even one right makes
your position wrong.

Gotta be careful with the ACLU........

For years, I was the only person I knew that was both a NRA live member (since 1959) AND a member of the ACLU.

Then, just about 2002 or so, they "clarified" their position on the 2nd amendment.

It is now their official position that, in their opinion, the amendments contained in the Bill Of Rights apply to individuals.....as in guaranteeing an individual right..... EXCEPT for the second amendment, which is a COLLECTIVE right.

I no longer belong.

He was also found guilty of 21 counts of abortion of the unborn, 24

At 23 weeks, 6 days they're tissue. At 24 weeks they're "the unborn".

Says absolutely NOTHING about freedom FROM religion. If you could read,
the only thing the constitution protects you from (in religious terms)
is the GOVERNMENT forcing a religion on you. Every other person in the
country has the absolute right to attempt to convert you to his/her
religious beliefs - just as you have the right to attempt to convert
them to yours.

The thing is, you can make abortions illegal again..... but you won't
stop them any more than making drugs illegal stops drugs.

Making abortion legal means women can have them safely.... making them
illegal means back to the butchers.....

I have. For the most part I think he was Railroaded because he had
reasched a point at 72 where he was probably gong to stop providing

The same way that they "rationalize" that .08 is the legal limit (in this
state) for your blood alcohol level. There is a need to draw the line
somewhere between what the fundiethumpers "rationalize" and what the
Gosnells "rationalize".

Dr. Gosnell ran an abortion clinic that came to be called "A
House of Horrors". He used the abortion laws as a cover to do
illegal abortions.

The agency charged with inspecting abortion clinics hadn't
checked his in the past 17 years.....because of political
pressure from folks like you. The agency had received complaints
but never acted on them. It took a raid by the FBI to bring his
actions into the public view.

He wasn't convicted for doing legal abortions so you can put that
red herring back in the sack.

That reminds me - I saw an article yesterday in which Ruth Ginsburg said
that Roe Vs Wade was decided incorrectly. She said it was too broad a
decision and should have been limited to only the Texas case it was
based on; and that it should have been based on women's' rights not
privacy. I never would have thought that I would have agreed with her
on anything, but it sounds like she got this one mostly right.

This isn't the same story I read yesterday, but it says essentially the
same thing:

Well, you got that half right. .08 is the "bright line" limit -
anything over that amount is "impaired" by definition; but, if the cop
does a field sobriety test and the driver fails, he/she can be charged
with DUI with any measurable amount of alcohol in his system.

It has nothing to do with evil. We have an over populated planet.
translate that to anything that reduces population is not
automatically bad.

Ending problem pregnancies whether the problem is a health issue or a
financial issue for the mother is fine by me. That seems to be the
bulk of what he was accused and convicted of. The only case that I do
not know enough to have an opinion about is the woman who apparently
died from the anesthetic.

I also have a problem with a 72 year old Doctor still running a clinic
when a younger person should have taken it over by then. Evidently
there was nobody to do that. I think that was the driving issue. It's
too bad they did not just use the Health Department to shut him down.
As far as that goes the situation must have been going on for long
enough that they Health Department should have shut him down years
ago. I would be after folks there. Evidently they did not care but
some Conservative whacko attorney found him.

Since the day of the decision.......jurists like Robert Bork, conservatives like George Will, liberals like Mark Shields, and academics from law schools all over the nation have said -- and I have agreed -- that Roe v. Wade made the right decision using the wrong reasoning.

I thought you were old enough to remember when girls performed abortions on themselves. Girls who are pregnant and don't want to have a child will do anything to abort. Even if it means using a coat hanger themselves, or going to someones house to have it done by someone who doesn't really have the means or knowledge. When that happens, there is a possiblity of 2 lives being lost.

On a personal note... I think men should stay out of the debate and let the women fight it out.

I agree that many lines are arbitrary, but they don't kill you if you
blood alcohol level is over the limit.

Viability of the unborn has changed significantly over the years, but
the law hasn't kept pace.

Thousands of women are alive because they chose to have a safe legal
abortion..... Gosnell is a butcher, and obviously doesn't represent the

Many are sanitary and safe.... I didn't realize you were an authority on

Yes I do... and will continue to do so. Legal abortion means a quick end

To me, death is preferable to hell on earth...

So how does the militaryget away with having a chapel on every
military base? The government furnishes the building and uses
taxpayer funds to pay the chaplains.

"Chaplains are spiritual counselors and leaders who serve in many
areas of the U.S. Army. Like other Army officers, chaplains have
a set pay scale for their base pay, and also receive other
financial benefits, such as money for housing. In addition, army
chaplains may be eligible for signing bonuses of up to $10,000,
as well as reimbursement for educational expenses. In general,
Army chaplains have significantly higher pay than chaplains
working in other fields, such as hospitals or schools

Also, military cemeteries oversees maintained by our government
have either crosses or the Star of David on every grave.

The right decision would have been that it is a states rights issue,
then leave it up to each state on an individual basis to decide if it
should be legal there or not. There is no way to actually uphold the

Except that the woman has the sole choice to terminate the
pregnancy while the father has no voice.

If the woman decidesNOT to have an abortion, guess who is
responsible to pay child support for 18 years?

But the father has no voice in either decision.

As I recall he does at intervals. Most of the arguements are the
backdoor approach of picking on the method. contraception is fine as

Your "logic" is non-existent.
The military offers health care as a means to keep the troops in
a condition to do perform their military duties. It's also a
re-enlistment tool since family health care is also provided.
IOW the military is looking out for its own interests.

The military doesn't give a rat's ass if the troops ignore the
chaplain and chapel since it perceives religion as a strictly
personal matter.

To paraphrase what Owen said. What difference is their between
killing at 23 weeks and 6 days and 1 day later?

One is a legal killing and the other isn't, based on the criteria
of the passage of 1 more day? The patient and the abortionist
both know to the exact day when the woman became pregnant?

Give me a break.

Abortionists can (and do) lie to the patient. Gosnell had told
one woman she was 21 weeks pregnant but an examination of the
aborted child revealed it to show a development of 29 weeks.

An idea completely devoid of merit. I remember when Nevada changed from
.10 to .08 and we were given training in the new law. It was pointed
out that under the .10 limit the average DUI was .17 - I asked how
changing to .08 would help. They had no answer.

In that same class the instructor gave us the numbers for deaths related
to DUI and said that they wanted to cut that by at least a third. I
pointed out that half of those deaths were drunk pedestrians and asked
how changing the limit for drivers would change that - again, no answer.

What about the babies who were alive after the botched abortions
in Gosnell's clinic? Was the father consulted before
Gosnell snipped their spinal cords?

Wouldn't those fathers have the option of suing Gosnell for
wrongful death?

According to my knowledge of the law, they could. Gosnell was a
millionaire even though he claimed to only be helping the poor.

IMO, it would be a great thing IF the father could have a say in such matters. However, how does one know if he is the father until the child is born? Another thing is, how can the father stop an abortion? If a women wants an abortion, she will get one, even if she has to do it herself.

As a side question (because I dont' know the answer), can a man order a DNA test if the mother says he isn't the father?

So (hi, oz), are you saying that my answering your questions with my

Quite the opposite. I said that the CURRENT LAW obviously works WHEN it
is enforced - proving that we do not need new laws, just to enforce the

How I vote matters not. Given a choice between Hillary and, say, Ryan I
would bet the majority of US voters would elect Hillary thanks to Ryan's
mysonegistic stand on abortion and birth control - just like they elected
then re-elected 0bama. 0bama didn't win, the GOP lost. And they're
getting ready to do it again and again and ......

On an interesting side note, the actual genetics of the matter are
completely irrelevant for married men in most of the United States.
Under the law, If they are married, he is the "father" even if he did
not supply the sperm to make it happen.

I know of a case where the mother wanted to deny visitation/custody to
her ex-husband because he was not the biological father and she had DNA
evidence to prove it. The judge told her and her attorney that he did
not want that topic even brought up in court as it was inadmissible. In
that state the only consideration was that she was married when the
child was conceived, so her ex was legally the father. The former
husband now has full custody.

I guess I should've been clearer. I'll try again. If a single man "thinks" he is the father a child, can he have the courts order a DNA test if the single mother says he isn't the father, and the single mother refuses to name anybody as the father?

This is because the Supreme Court ruling was based on a woman's right to
privacy. The ruling had nothing to do with the right of the unborn
child/fetus, whatever you want to call the tiny life.

That law is part of the "women as chattel" mentality that went out of
fashion long ago.

I think it is extremely outrageous to make a man pay for the product of
his wife's infidelities. Just as outrageous as men who sire children
not paying for the support of those children.

But because of that law, people like Gosnell are able to open
their butcher shops and because of people like you, those that
are SUPPOSED to enforce the law avoid doing it.

People like you complain when the laws are enforced. You stuck
up for Stiller the baby killer when he was caught breaking the law.
You stuck up for the Dr. who wrote bogus diagnoses to justify
late term abortions right up to the minute they jerked her license.

IOW you FAVOR breaking the law and support those that do it.

You have yet to condemn anyone caught doing later-term abortions
because you see ANY abortion as a good thing.

You are still living in a cave.

Could you at least TRY to educate yourself?

"Amniocentesis also provides access to DNA for paternity testing
prior to delivery. DNA is collected from the potential father and
is compared to DNA obtained from the baby during amniocentesis."
