So...let me get this straight: A kid can’t get a tattoo without parental approval or go to an “R” rated movie without an adult. A kid can’t buy cigarettes, or have a drink, or even stay up past the established curfew many communities now have installed. BUT - it’s okay to have an abortion (which means that the child has had sex - and quite possibly unlawful sex - or even that the child could have been abused) without notifying the parents.

Well, Im glad we have our priorities straight. Now, if you’ll excuse me I’m going to find a pillow to scream into.

Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed

Should parents be able to force their children to have abortions? Should it require parental consent to have a pregnancy?

The answer to both of your questions is “yes.”

Parents should have full control of their children.

So if a child wants to have a pregnancy, but her parents refuse, you would punish the cab driver who took her out of the state to have her child? That’s sick!

The fact that abortions are currently legal is pretty sick, but a parent’s autonomy in raising his/her/their child is worth protecting.  It is not the cab driver’s place to make that decision.

And a cab driver can already be held liable for helping a runaway stay away from her parents.

This shows you how radical the pro-abortion crowd is and how deep in the pocket Conrad and Dorgan are to the liberal interests in Washington.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Transporting kids accross state lines for abortions, I didn’t know postnatal abortion was legal, man that’s sick.

Yes, if they had done that, it would have, but they didn’t do that.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

Dru’s case went federal because she was taken over statelines. Abortion over statelines is equaly goulish.

Dorgan gets alot of facetime in news because of Dru’s case and she is dead. Why doesn’t he have an much interest in living babies?

It is SO ludicrous for the state of ND to be trying to get population lured back from other states, and then they have Dorgan and Conrad keep the doors open for abortions.

How is it that Dorgan and Conrad keep getting elected?

PN, it’s because they have millions in out of state money they get from political connections in D.C. which they use to drown out challengers who have to rely on money they raise in ND.

They’re buying elections, basically, with their out of state money and all the federal money they bring in.  Some may say that the federal money coming in is a good thing, but I personally don’t think its good for North Dakota to be so dependent on it.  That money comes with strings attached, and the more of it we get the less sovereignty this state has.

For better or worse, elections are lost and won based on money.  Conrad, Dorgan, etc. can spend millions drowning out everything their opposition has to say.

That’s why they’re winning.  IT sure as hell isn’t their policy choices.

Although, since we get to make things up about elections, can I say “elections are lost and won based on looks”? That’d be a little more exciting… and equally untrue!
