2. The baby was already born - then died....
...right to life only applies to the 'unborn'. They have a right to be born - as soon as they are, well, that's a different story. Any Robertson, Dobson and Falwell supporter can tell you that....

19. I call them
pro-fetus. That's what they are. They don't deserve to be called "pro-life" because of the policies they believe in that do not make life. It's all for selfish reasons.

30. yes pro-fetus

6. Yup -
A Gawd given right to be born and die in poverty and misery - but,ya can't expect good Jaysus fearin', hard workin' Repukes to care about those ol' lazy poor people and "welfare babies", do ya? The hypocrisy of those sorry pieces of maggot infested fecal matter knows no bounds. I'd vote for a piece of stinking road kill before I'd vote for a god damn Republican.

14. Please, let's bring back the guillotine.
I'm so angry, and I really don't give a fuck about being politically correct.

Or a pike. Whatever's easier.

20. Liberty / equality / fraternity
I've always had a greater affinity for the French Revolution than for our own, anyway. A great leveler of classes.

8. The hell ?? How long were mother and baby in the Stench dome?
The mother and baby should have been airlifted to a hospital asap after birth.

Shit, only fetuses and brain-dead people have a right-to-life. All others are on their own. :cry:

10. Right to life for white babies
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 10:07 PM by Southpaw Bookworm
Poor brown women dying in childbirth or from botched coat-hanger jobs? They never had much to say about the evils of those.

Hell, there are areas of this country that have infant mortality rates worse than countries like Afghanistan and Somalia. I don't hear the pro-birthers taking any action about that, do you?

16. I can't wrap my brain around this kind of stuff
There were so many stories of women just out of childbed who were stuck outside the convention center and inside the dome. All those elderly people without medications stuck outside in the heat for days on end. This happened inside the United States? It's fucking criminal.

17. These are the stories that should be gathered together
in one place and not allowed to die. They should be brought up every time * makes a stupid remark about this. We can't let the memory of these people die.

29. The referenced post has no source and is disrespectful of AfricanAmericans
I don't exactly believe it. I believe things like that might happen, but let's have some traceable sources not some anonymous fourth-hand reporting. And the language used seems to be very disrespectful of African Americans.

31. I didn't read the referenced post, but I did hear on one of the news
stations(CNN or MSNBC) that a baby was born and died in either the dome or the center. It was a brief statement made sometime over the weekend. I don't remember hearing what happened to the Mother.

Going to read the referenced post now..
