    It doesn't matter. If an activity is legal and has been found to be a Constitutional right by the Supreme Court, like abortion, the state shouldn't put up barriers to exercising it. What if there were only one hospital in the state allowed to perform an abortion? Would that be fair? What if there were only one gun dealer allowed to be licensed in the state? Still fair? - Dan G

    Roe Vs Wade, it's the law of the land. Don't like it, amend the Constitution. Don't try to backdoor it with BS doctor qualifications and building codes. It's like saying, "Sure, all handguns are legal, you just have to qualify 100/100 at 200 yrds with your eyes closed. You know, for safety." - Dan G

    Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought the comment the President made regarded the fact that he wasn't on trial. I don't remember Obama saying he was guilty or innocent, just that the case should be tried. - Dan G

    Not if she wants to exercise her Constitutional right to have an abortion. - Dan G

    It didn't pass for purely procedural reasons. I predict they'll pass it pretty soon, even if it means closing the gallery so protesters can't interfere. And it's a BS law. They pulled the same shit in Virginia, but they did it through the Board of Health instead of the legislature. The BOH decided that clinics that offer abortion needed to conform to the same building standards as full sized hospitals, which effectively shut them all down. Of course, they sold it as concern for the health of the mother, but it was just taking a backdoor to banning abortion without having the political power to do it through legitimate means. Texas is using the same tactic by requiring crazy hurdles for abortion doctors to meet before they can practice. Either way, it'll get struck down by the Feds. It will just waste everyone's time and money, and probably endanger a few hundred pregnant women in the meantime. - Dan G

    It's different in that you aren't getting paid. Otherwise it's just as obnoxious. - Dan G

    You clearly didn't understand the ruling. Try again. - Dan G

    Pointing it out 8 times is not more effective than pointing it out once. And did this actually happen to you, or did you cut and paste it from somewhere else? - Dan G

    Are you really complaining about spamming global warming discussions by spamming global warming discussions? - Dan G

    Actually, the better comparison would be the vast majority of nutritionists saying that overeating leads to weight gain, and the general public getting it's opinions from the guy on late night TV claiming you can eat all you want and lose weight if you just buy his book. Or, nutritionists predicting that someone who eats X number of calories a day will (on average) gain Y pounds a year, but McDonalds paying another nutritionist to find evidence of people who only gained 0.5Y pounds and then claiming that nutrition science is junk. No climate scientists are claiming that the world is going to catch fire from all the excessive heat next year. That's the sensationalist news media hyping shit for money, and partisans pandering to their ignorant base. Real climate science is doing an excellent job predicting the overall trends. Outliers and events that don't fit the model are not evidence that the model is a lie, just that it is not perfect. - Dan G

    Recent. All of it. Unless you think this is still 1957. - Dan G

    I'm not a "Liberal Deocrat" but I watched it and can report to the rest non-right wing cheerleaders that's it's a load of crap. He discusses how the Republican party was founded as a abolitionist movement, how Lincoln was a Republican, and how Eisenhower championed the Civil Rights Act of 1957. He conveniently ignores Republican history after that. He spends the last three minutes regurgitating Republican platitudes that bear no resemblance to how the GOP actually governs. It's regular Republican speechaking, only unusual because the speaker is black. - Dan G

    I get it now. You'r rather have safety than liberty. I suppose that means you're on the government's side in the NSA scandal. Very interesting. - Dan G

    Yeah, just like the fact that domestic surveillance needs to be approved by a secret court means that domestic surveillance has been banned. The rest of your "article" is equally full of bullshit. - Dan G
