I sure wish this whole Roe V Wade thing would just dry up and blow away. It's allowing to much crap to be pushed on to America.

Agreed.

It's a poorly constructed law, and while I consider myself more pro-choice than otherwise (but am sure people at both extremes of that debate would have some not so clever things to say about my views) I'd be fine if it was undone.

I might agree with you if not for the millions of women in conservative states that would turn control of their bodies over to the government. I wouldn't be OK with that.

It's also dishearting to see somebody in Bill Frists position using that fact that another group will find something to be a "nightmare" as a way to pander to others. I realize a lot of you folks wish hell upon your fellow Americans if they don't agree with your politics, and that a number of our elected leaders do as well, I just think it's f**ked up.

Bill Frist is a corrupt piece of sh1t. So is his family, whose for-profit hospital chaing HCA  paid the largest Medicare fraud settlement in the history of our country.

What is gained and what is lost?

The woman's right to control her own body, obviously. This right would be lost in many states if Roe v. Wade is overturned. It would be a disaster.

I think you are taking a worst case view of this (which is possible, but I think doubtful), I doubt that we would see draconian legislation put forth

Of course we would! Hell, many states already have laws banning abortion as soon as Roe v. Wade is overturned. I think your underestimate the impact it would have. Put yourself in a woman's shoes, do you really want the government controlling your reproductive decisions?  Quite a horrifying thought.

and if we did, those doing so would pay a large price.

Quite possibly, but it's still not worth the damage to womens rights.

I don't understand Republicans' obsession with Daily Kos.

Hell, I can find hundreds of nutty statements from Republican websites like Free Republic, Little Green Footballs, and redstate.org. Maybe I'll start posting them for kicks.

We don't generally post articles from those sites, while jfern has copy&pasted dozens of wacky articles from DailyKOS.

Totally irrelevent. And most of what jfern seems to post are diaries from Daily Kos that link to news articles.

I think I'll start posting diaries and comments from Republican websites like one current diary on redstate.org called "Democrats are a far more dangerous threat to the United States than Al-Qaeda".

ing crazy right-wingers!!!!

Uh, two wrongs don't make a right--especially when the same team commits both wrongs.

All I'm saying is that if you right-wingers keep trying to demonize Daily Kos and post every stupid comment you find then I can find way more offensive stuff on right-wing websites like Free Republic and redstate.org.

Hell, on Free Republic they celebrate whenever any Democrat or environmentalist dies. You should have seen their comments when the founder of Greenpeace died last year or when former Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson died a few months ago.

When I come across complete whack-job postings, I'll cut n paste like I did there.

I'll do the same then. When I read about right-wingers celebrating the deaths of Democrats and how Democrats are more of a threat than Al-Qaeda I'll start a thread here.
