"Deciding to raise a baby that started as an unwanted pregnancy, or going to term with a baby and offering it up for adoption are admirable, honorable things that happen all the time, and I'm in awe of those women who do it. "

No, you're not. How can you be? Your position is "pro-life" or "anti-abortion" which means that to you no other choices are morally acceptable. Why would anyone profess to hold someone to be admirable, honorable or awe-inspiring just for not doing something they think is wrong.

Do you find it awe-inspiring every time you see people not stealing, raping, murdering or lying?

There is nothing awe-inspiring about people doing what the law compels them to do. And the "pro-life" position is about compelling pregnant women who might otherwise consider abortions to act as you describe above.

If you're ever around my neck of the woods you can come watch me not rob the supermarket,  not kill anybody and not destroy public property.  It's deeply touching.

It's deeply touching.

I'm pro-touching.

I hate raisins, but accept them in society. I am not "pro-raisin". Neither am I
"pro-abortion".

Oh, GREAT.  You're one of those fucking anti-grapers...

McCain is (sadly) going to win this thing by 20-30 electoral votes.  Much more than any of the polling indicates.

I think people underestimate the Bradley Effect. 

Obama's numbers in the primaries are very misleading.  Obama won as a result of caucuses, not actual votes.  If only delegates based on votes rather than caucuses were included, Clinton would be up against McCain.

I find it appalling that a candidate could win a primary but their opponent get more delegates because the state also had a caucus.

Choosing not to do something unlawful is absolutely admirable; but what is awe-inspiring is a woman sacrificing physical/mental health for several months even though she doesn't want the baby.  To do that and then give it up for adoption is one of the noblest things a human can do, because they have chosen temporary self-sacrifice over killing another (which would have been much more convenient).  To do that and raise the baby her/themselves is even more noble, because she/they have sacrificed much of the rest of their lives to preserve this human being.  As many here have said, making abortions illegal won't stop them from happening, so a woman deciding to go through with her unwanted pregnancy, whether abortion is legal or not, is an honorable thing.

Jodi, you said that security was one of the reasons no signs were allowed.  I pointed out that the Secret Service has no problem with signs.

So yes, if the campaign doesn't want signs then they can say "no signs".  Personally, I have no problem with that.  It makes for better television if we don't have to deal with signs being put up in front of cameras.  But don't blame it on security.

Again fighting non issue, how is the bailout sitting with you?

Kevin you have to admit they can sure sing. LOL
