The liberal supreme court decided women can murder their unborn children. 80% of abortions are performed on unmarried women. The fact that you cannot defend murdering unborn children tells me you have a problem with it. Just like kerry, he believes abortion is murder but it's ok for everyone else to do it. If you have time, pick up a Bible and read about God and His thoughts on unborn children. Message 21511310

BUSH ONCE AGAIN THREATENING THE ENTIRE WORLD SECURITY with his henchman for some money from ONE Canadian Company..and DELAY behind this treachery! ENERGY BILL = ACCESS TO BOMB GRADE URANIUM by Senator Russ Feingold Fri Jul 29th, 2005 at 10:19:25 PDT There were a lot of reasons to vote against the final version of the fiscally irresponsible energy bill in the Senate today. The bill does little to help consumers or lower gasoline prices and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. That's not to mention the billions of dollars in tax breaks and other subsidies to the oil and gas industry, which is reaping record profits while consumers are paying more and more at the pump. But one thing that happened to the bill in the conference committee was particularly startling to me today. A provision was tucked into the 1,700 page energy bill conference report that would ease export restrictions on bomb-grade uranium. This was a provision I and a majority of my colleagues in the Senate opposed last month but it was included in the final bill. * Senator Russ Feingold's diary :: :: * At a time when national security should be our highest priority, it is indefensible that such a reckless attitude is being taken about a material that we should be working to safeguard from those who wish to do us harm. This is exactly the wrong direction in which we should be moving. What we should be doing is focusing on th fight against terrorism. Stevo was nice enough to post a diary about the speech I gave this week on this issue. Focusing on the fight against terrorism means putting Iraq in the context of a broader national security vision. It means refocusing US efforts on a global campaign to expose terrorist networks, to deny them opportunities to sustain themselves and grow, and to defeat them decisively. And it means ensuring that our policies in Iraq and elsewhere are consistent with and advance the fight against terror.

US-Led Troops in Iraq Part of Problem - UK's Straw Reuters Tuesday 02 August 2005 London - The presence of British and U.S. troops in Iraq is fuelling the Sunni-led insurgency which has killed hundreds of people, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said in comments published on Tuesday. In an interview with Britain's Financial Times newspaper, Straw said it was crucial Iraq's draft constitution was ready by a mid-August deadline to pave the way for a troop withdrawal. "The more certainty you have on that (the constitution), the more you can have a programme for the draw-down of troops which is important for the Iraqis," he said. "Because -- unlike in Afghanistan -- although we are part of the security solution there, we are also part of the problem." The Iraqi panel drawing up the constitution has come under intense U.S. pressure to submit a draft on time. The Iraqi government and its U.S. backers see the constitution as a key part of any democratic process and hope it can help defuse the two-year-old insurgency and allow U.S. and British troops to withdraw sooner. U.S. General George Casey said last month he expected troop cuts after a referendum on a new constitution due in October and an election for a new leader in December. Casey made a similar prediction earlier this year, but U.S. officials have avoided suggesting a timetable since violence worsened sharply after the new government took power in April. Britain, Washington's main ally in the 2003 war to topple former President Saddam Hussein, has about 8,500 troops in Iraq, based mainly in the south. -------
