POPSCondemned to Die: Abortion in Latin America "In this profession, we see all kinds of things, like people using witchcraft, to whatever pills they can get their hands on," said a doctor, who charges about $45 to carry out abortions in women's homes. He spoke on condition that his name not be used, because performing an abortion in Colombia can lead to a prison term of more than four years. "They open themselves up to incredible risks, from losing their reproductive systems or, through complications, their lives," the doctor said. Such arguments have done little to sway an anti-abortion movement that is largely led by influential leaders of the Roman Catholic Church.

POPSMaternity Leave for Students Thankfully Colorado rejected federal "abstinence only" money. I've worked with populations where teenage motherhood is endemic, and I was constantly struck by how many of the girls and women never graduated high school. When education is not seen as important, the next generation follows suit, and the next thing you know, you're a grandmother at 30. It is imperative that all of our kids, and especially our most vulnerable kids, get comprehensive sex ed, have access to safe and accesible abortion, and support if they do get pregnant and give birth to make sure they graduate high school and can go on to college. In this way cycles are broken.

POPSHuckabee the Theocrat Check out this video. I remember all the crap back in 2000 about how "down home" GWBush was, how we'd all like to have a beer with him. Huckabee is more of the same, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
