POPSNorth Dakota's outlawing abortion On the dresser sits a frame With a photograph Two little girls in ponytails Some twenty one years back She left one night with just a nod Was lost from some back alley job I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly She never saw those birds again Sally's pigeons, Cyndi Lauper

POPSPriest removes Obama books from school I am SOOOO tired of religious dictators!!! Why must the IMPOSE their beliefs on others? NO WOMAN wants an abortion, but sometimes it is necessary and who has the right to decide on that woman's body other than the woman herself?

POPSYou Fornicated At Your Own Peril "It's cool that the filmmakers explore the beginnings of the gay and lesbian pride movement, and how the Stonewall uprising of 69 was the watershed moment in the movement. But it would've been nice if the directors had acknowledged that it was black and Puerto Rican drag queens such as the late Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera who got things started back when the cops showed up at the Stonewall Inn."

POPSNew Challenge to Roe vs Wade and Birth control Just can't win. If your in a position where you do not have the ability to care for a child and have to make an extremely hard choice. But no matter what choice you make , you get slammed. If she decides to abort she is a monster. If she decides to keep the child even though she would have to go on welfare to do it , she's a drain on society. And those who would be the most damning towards these women for either case are those who have never or will never have to make this kind of choice or live with the attitudes of the self righteous later.

POPSObama vs. Clinton on Supreme Court Decision Is he REALLY trying to play up this "everyman" image that much!? I'm a little frustrated by that quote. Are you KIDDING ME? "Look into the heart"?! Isn't that a Roxette lyric? Empathy in the supreme court is our qualifying criteria? Ugg. Don't get me wrong I know that he's trying to counter what's viewed as lacking in her image but comeon baby!

POPSStudies show the death penalty has a deterrent effect on crime These studies are under attack because of the conclusions that are easily drawn by the statistics. A normal person would conclude that if one execution of a murderer prevents 18 murders, it is worth it. But I guess we don't support the rights of innocents to live, that was proven with Roe Vs. Wade. And interestingly, the murder rate started to rise after Roe Vs. Wade. Ya think there might be a connection?

POPSDemographics in a post Roe vs. Wade world What would states do if Roe vs. Wade was overturned? 22 states would impose a restriction on abortion. 4 states passed "trigger" bans on abortion that would go into effect immediately if Roe were reversed.

POPS'Partial-Birth' Abortion Ruling a Mistake: Physicians I would like to point out that not all late term abortions have been baned just the Dilation & Extraction (PBA) Procedure (aka partial birth, which by the way is a term first coined by the right to life group.) Doctors may still use what is basically a C section to abort the fetus. This was a purposeful move. The reasoning is the thought of having a major and higher risk medical procedure will frighten some away.

POPSBush's appointee - Scalito For all the people who voted for Bush believing he would "never" appoint a justice who would overturn Roe vs Wade, say hello to this guy. Still think that?
