POPSHow much is life worth? This article makes me ill. Just what does he think women are? Did he not stop to think for even one minute that perhaps some women really have no choice but to terminate? Then there’s the issue of perhaps some damaged soul thinking its a free $500 and not even realizing the other consequences of the pregnancy. This is more devaluing (and demeaning) to the women and to the fetuses than an abortion could ever be. I can see his passion and what he thinks he’s doing but his ways are extremely insulting not to mention not very well thought out. Sometimes I’m proud to be a liberal.

POPSHappy Bride This is just touching. Nothing with any great social impact or deep meaning- it just made my eyes damp. I'm a bit of a cam freak. I have thousands of photos and every one is special. If I thought my wedding photos were gone - I'd simply break down. This is one very lucky couple :)

POPSGirl aged 11 saves her mom I have ulcerative crohn's - I recognize and understand those weak spells. That baby girl deserves the biggest ice cream sundae. I'm crying reading this. My daughter is 11. It could have been us. Bless that child.

POPS Medicine needs hybrid embryos, scientists say I don't know what to say. For or against? having a long history of chronic illness and disease I suppose it could have its uses but still - I keep having these horrifying visions of "The Isle of Dr Moreau"

POPSFriday Fun: Waterproof your electronics Navy SEAL-style I dunno, it could be useful for something...I think its kinda neat anyhow..I wonder about those super ultra sheer polyurethane condoms? I can't afford an underwater lens for my camera but wouldn't this create a neat effect for artistic purposes? Call it gross but even a vaseline sheen over the rubber. Could be a really cool effect.

POPSA real gender bender... How did this not come out sooner? I was under the impression that most US jails and prisons at the very least stripped the prisoners before admittance. Canadian jails do - even our county jails...Certainly most jails do a simple physical check-up before they lock away the prisoners? If not - after this - they should.

POPSBlueNotes yanks T-Shirt Promoting Date Rape. This sickened me. Anyone who has been through it should be disgusted and outraged. There is no humour in this type of display and I'm happy to see that bluenotes has seen the err in their ways. This doesn't excuse the fact that they allowed it to happen in the first place but its heartening that they're willing to take responsibility.

POPSPotato Bombs This is amusing but also alarming! My father was a longshoreman and they used to pull up old bombs all the time but a grenade in your potatoes?

POPSAntifreeze Murder This is just ridiculous. The defense is trying to say she had nothing to do with death yet both men were intimately involved with her, both men were with her when they died, both men died of the same type of poisoning. Is it not fair to say that since she's already been proven gulity of one - she is likely responsible for both? Unless of course there are mate killing gremlins living in her sock drawer and then I truly do feel for her. The worst MY gremlins ever do is steal my coffee so that I try to gulp an empty cup and make myself look foolish.

POPSClubbing Seal Hunt Myths I have to comment that this is about bloody time if you'll pardon the expression. The activists have been flaunting videos taken in the 80s when the Canadian seal hunts really were brutal and bloody. In theyears since - the hunts have become much more humane and in reality are a necessary part of life in the Canadian North. Different countries have different ways. People need to read the facts before they blindly judge because Paul McCartney says they should.

POPSCourt to hear case of teen strip-searched for ibuprofen I have NO words for this mess. I have teenage children, if I give them OTC pain meds - they have proper instructions for taking them and there is a note sent to the teachers. If the school said she couldn't have them and I felt that she needed them then I would keep her home until she was better, if they stripped her? Heads would roll.

POPS"No God" bus ads banned in Italian city Odd this, buses have been allowed to go running ads that say things like "God is watching" and more, why not a voice from the other side? Christianity is not a requirement for having rights and freedoms.
