POPSDems comment on Palin Pick Clearly, McCain thinks women are stupid enough to fall for his pseudo-Hillary. Comparing Palin to Hillary Clinton is like comparing a high-school freshman to a PhD grad (actually, that almost has some truth to it...)

POPSBush "Troglodyte" I don't know how other women feel, but I'm tired of this idiot trying to make women second class citizens,AGAIN!

POPSCoat Hangers And Crochet Hooks. Since Roe v. Wade, American women now have the right to an abortion. The current conservative attitude in the U.S. is threatening that right. I've talked to many young women about this issue. They remain blissfully unaware of what it was like before Roe v. Wade. This piece will give you an idea.

POPSAbortion and the Earth Well written article for all sides and sexes. (Though it irks me that women allow men to give them their way of thinking.)

POPSBush: No Ideology Other than Greed This cracks me up. So: are right wingers strict-constructionists, decentralizing as much as possible and protecting states rights or big government federalists using consolidated power to engineer their ideal society? Depends on the issue: Prohibiting Abortion: Federalist unless it is a state trying to ignore Roe v Wade, in which case: State's Rights Integrating Schools: States Rights Unless it comes to Federal support for segregation: Federalists Marijuana decriminalization: Federalist Unless your state institutes ridiculously draconian and probably unconstitutional punishments: States Rights Gun Ownership: States Rights Unless unless you are Washington DC and pass restrictive gun control laws: Federalists Environmental Protection: States Rights Unless your state actually tries to protect the environment at the expense of big business: Federalist These guys believe in nothing, they just use any ideology they can to justify whatever it is the want.

POPSPerino's Bubble I guess it doesn't really matter. She's required to mouth the talking points; not to think for herself. Heck of a job, Perino!

POPSGet Your Coathangers Ready Anyone who believes that this has nothing to do with banning abortion is a fool. The other troubling point is that it, as mentioned in the article, could also affect birth control. Welcome to 1950 folks. Once again religious ideology takes precedent over rational thought. Once again, emotional pleading trumps reasoned, rational discourse.

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.

POPSPat Robertson's Endorsement: Blessing or Curse? Leave it to national politics to turn a normal guy into Crazy McGee. Giuliani is campaigning so hard to the Republican fringe that he seems to be sabotaging the traits that might have made him appealing in a general election. On the other hand, think about what Pat Robertson is saying: "the defense of our population from the blood lust of Islamic terrorists" W*$# the F@&#!!!! Now imagine if a liberal candidate got endorsed by a national figure who talked about the "Blood lust of Christian Colonialism and Capitalist Neo-Fascism." That would pretty much be the end of the trail for that campaign. It is horrific that someone who could say something like this is actually thought of as an important endorsement. How many people seriously think like that? Are we really that ignorant and angry? Why would anyone be proud to be endorsed by someone who sounds increasingly apocalyptic, paranoid, and deranged?

POPSRon Paul: arm airline passengers? CORRECTION BELOW Kook factor just jumped off the charts. So long, Ron Paul. ADDENDUM: Turns out RP was suggesting allowing pilots to have weapons, not passengers. Looks like truthdig missed it here. My apologies. See details in comments below.

POPSRon Paul's views on abortion i was very intrigued by Ron Paul and his views on taxes, etc., but have been put off by his stance regarding a woman's right to choose. having a personal beliefs against abortion is fine with me, believe what you want! but taking away a woman's right to make choices about her own body, and even trying to overturn Roe v. Wade?!?! its excessive, i feel.

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.
