How is this not all hypocritical of the Republicans. I don't get how now it is ok to be teen & pregnant and what about the more pressing issues our country is going through - economy, dependence on foreign oil, global-warming, health care?

Remember <A target="_blank" href="http://www.vicepresidentdanquayle.com/speeches_StandingFirm_CCC_1.html">Murphy Brown</A>? I always thought the former vice president was <A target="_blank" href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/family/danquayl.htm">on solid ground</A> when he called it morally irresponsible to encourage women without the TV character's resources to embark on child-rearing on their own. In today's GOP, Quayle wouldn't condemn Murphy Brown. He'd call her up to the stage and salute her for choosing life.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CB725B8C-D7C5-4E1F-A68D-4AA030DFFC83/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
