    GOP will do no better.

    It's sad to have to admit, but I think a complete collapse of the economy is likely. There are now too many peolpe living off the government largesse, and far too little political will to change things. Hyperinflation or default on sovereign debt is now unavoidable. Republicans will try modest -...

    The new GOP Bill. "Protect Life Act"

    I understand your concern about the practical effects of our laws, but my position is not primarily based on legal solutions. I am pro-life because my concern for the sanctity of human life leaves me no alternative but to reject any attempt to describe a fetus as nothing more than a clump of...

    The new GOP Bill. "Protect Life Act"

    Your comment seemed to indicate under other circumstances as well as when unwanted. I think I would have understood your comment the way you meant it if you had left off the word 'even.' Also a fetus does not have a right to enter a woman's body, the fetus has no choice at all about it. I'm...

    I can't answer that hypothetical, because it depends so much on the circumstances other than what you've just mentioned. This isn't to make light of your question though, as this is very nearly the kind of Sophie's choice presnted when circumstances really do come down to saving either the...

    The new GOP Bill. "Protect Life Act"

    You are right: this is about protecting vulnerable, innocent life. But when these women make the claim of having a right to complete control of their own bodies - which is actually a property rights claim to which I'm sympathetic - I bet they would not be willing to extend the very same right...

    Article on what is going on in Egypt
