Abortion-Keep Legal, Yes or No?
I figured since it’s currently a hot topic in the gun thread, I’d start an abortion topic thread. I’ll begin by responding to benjs’ last post in the gun thread: who says a woman is obligated to carry until term? Why shouldn’t that be her decision and hers alone?

Yet, it seems like every person they hire is a disgraced politician. last night they had Tom Delay on, saying he has no ethical problems. tonight it's Bernie Kerik. geez, is no one too…

A thread about Bill Maher
I know you're not all Maher fans but starting at 2:30 (please post a link with just the last part if you have one, thanks!) in this video, Maher sums up what is really going wrong in this election cycle and American politics in general and probably in our society as a whole.

Health, Science and Environmental News
It occurred to me that tons of really important stories around these topics don't get discussed here because there are so many of them that wouldn't have their own thread.
