Just to stir the pot a little...what makes this definition any less arbitrary than the current one?  What makes the status quo definition either legally or scientifically correct?  I think the real answer is "b'cus we say so."  10 years ago partial birth abortions were legal, but now not.

On an interesting side note after being in the UK last week I learned that there is a growing epidemic that the poor are no longer finding easy access to free abortions in the UK because doctors are refusing to perform the procedure, especially doctors right out of med school.  They are having a sort of "professional" boycot of the procedure.

IP, I have no idea if his argument is arbitrary or not.  He refused to discuss anything of merit.

Since he's been given plenty of time...

It's Bates MO to jump in, shoot off a few Neocon rounds, then jump out.  He's a paper-tiger, he's not going to debate you or anyone else, he collapses too easy.  

That's what blogs and radio shows are for, to project one's ideas without being questioned.  He does both, he doesn't have to debate.

Speaking of talk shows, is it just my imagination or are Gwen and Chris trying to find as many different ways to re-quote the talking points of Limbaugh and Hannity as possible?

Every time I tune in, it's the same thing over and over, just worded a little different.  It's tired already. []

Well that's too bad, I had respected Mr. Bates as he seemed to be an informed and well thought out person.  Oh well...

Is it bad that I do not know who Gwen and Chris are?
