A woman who has been a victim of rape? Or the abortion she would have to end the pregnancy? Just wondering where our priorities lie as a country. Oh, and don;t tell me the statistics of rape in abortion...unless you ALSO state the NUMBER of women, not the percentage...you know, instead of saying 'only 3% of abortions are from rape victims', you instead say ' only this many thousands of abortions are from rape victims'. I am also wondering why, if rape is moe of a concern' don;t we spend as much time voicing outrage at the number of women who are victimized in this country everyday...rather than blaming her for resulting consequnces. Feel free to use the unpaid child support argument as well...

I know a 97 year old, has been in this country since 7 years old through green card. Tried to become citizen some years ago, however there was a conflict and INS at the time attempted to deport this individual, the individual's attorney negotiated a deal with the INS court. The individual could stay, however never apply for citizenship. So I'm wondering if the president can grant citizenship.
If so how would one go about it, are there forms??????

Downtown Houston, Texas, May 1, 2006. Jim Moore was reporting for KHOU-TV, a Houston TV station working an interview with an illegal immigrant. The following is a transcript of that interview.

Jim: Juan, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are
marching in the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is
your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?

Juan: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we
are. We will bring Houston to its knees!

Jim: What rights?

Juan: Our right to live here...legally. Our right to get all the benefits you get.

Jim: When did you come to the United States?

Juan: Six years ago. I crossed over the border at night with seven other friends.

Jim: Why did you come?

Standard pat answer to any 'conflict' ( I hate that characterization too) is, " WE WIN WHEN THEY SURRENDER". Well. Iraq surrendered , now what? When you tackle IDEOLOGY ( religious dogma and a thousand years of religious hatred between sects), can the outcome anticipated, approach anything like democratization ( or better yet for the military -industrial complex, capitalism)? How will we know when we beat 'terrorism' ? Is increased terrorist group recruitment and cell growth, a sign of losing the war on terrorism ? How do we measure success? If Saudi Arabia supports the Sunni's and Iran suppports the Shiites, are they likely to be covertly drawn into the war? Does Israel have a stake in us staying there? Would a permanent base (think germany and korea) be possible? Likely? How does that effect our view of "winning", in the interest of minding the oil...................

I am in Lee County, FL. Although i had every intention on serving my jury duty, the date just sort of came and went without me even realizing it. (I suppose the fact that i just moved had a lot to do with me being so unorganized). Now, I am TERRIFIED. I have left messages for the Lee County Jury Clerk and have not recieved a call back. I have also checked the Lee County Sherrif website, and no warrants are out on me. Exactly how much trouble am I in? Is there anything else I can do?

Does a person have to go through a lawyer to have a legal will made up? I don't have much, no property or anything, just personal belongings and antiques I've collected over the years that I'd like my kids to get once I'm gone.

Can I do this myself? How?

at a high risk of death or the child a product of forceable rape, that the mother then is imeaditly setrilized, so that she can no longer opt to abort? Many women have had multiple abortions, that is a fact! Isnt a woman who keeps having abortions a mass murderer? Even hear of a baby chosing to die?

I think this may be the case, if these countries were "allowed" to develop.
1. they would be able to get a fair price for their commodities / mineral wealth
2. they would be a considerable opponent on the world trading markets

America doesn't want blanket amnesty, the politicians are pushing it and Bush is lying and saying he is getting tough on illegal immigration.

Please read the bi-laws and subsections of the new open immigration bill:

He lied to just about everyone in the country, including his family, he cheated on his wife, then was too much of a coward to stand up to the terrorists that attacked us several times during his administration. should such a person even be classified as a human being?

I was leaning towards Hilary, but it seems John Edwards and his terrorism as a 'bumper sticker' remarks makes him the clear front-runner in either appeasing terrorists or running from them.

If a defense attorney proves to the jury that the alleged victim has lied over 10 times to the jury about things not related to the actual alleged assault, would that jury believe what the alleged victim says about being assaulted? Also there are no witnesses, marks, bruises etc, only the alleged victims word against the defendants word. The defendant has not told any lies in court. Would the alleged victim have any credibility with the jury after being proven to have lied many times to that jury?

My Daughter was born 6 weeks early. The first two weeks of her life. She had tubes in both arms and in her stomach. At birth, the doctors only give her a 30% chance to make it. And claimed that she could've given up at any time.

I would visit her in the evenings. Just putting my hand in her crib. She'd grab ahold of me for dear life. She had many reasons to quit. But had only life, as a reason to live. Exactly 12-Hours BEFORE they were to remove her tubes. She pulled them out, herself!!

She turns 30, next month. She's healthy and has two children of her own.

Yeah! You can say I'm Pro-Life.
I have proof of what a newborn wants.
And what a Life deserves

QUESTION:
Stories, like this, go on everyday.
Would this make someone change their opinion about Abortion?

I was wondering the other day, if I ran for president, what would be my campaign promises?

I made a list I'm certain can get me elected.

If I'm elected president, I will…

Require members of Congress to work out on the Total Gym 15 minutes each day – or else they can't vote on anything.

Cut spending by dismissing the Secret Service, at least for my eight years in office (why would I need them?).

Resurrect Bruce Lee and appoint him head of homeland security (OK, the CIA and FBI too).

Give a presidential pardon to … no one, ever. Baretta was right in the '70s, "Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. Don't do it!"

I was charged with traffiking hydrocodone after my friends mother (who is about 80 years old) dropped her prescription in my car. I have never violated the house arrest, i have been going to a rehab( court ordered), i have a job, and i live with my DAD. The state attorney has withheld the fullest punishment and i receive no breaks from them or the county courts. Is this wrong?

"The people were in fact, the fountain of all power, and by resorting to them, all difficulties were got over."
"The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government."
When legislators make mistakes they cover them up --to protect their careers & egos.
"The will of the majority is the natural law of every society and the only sure guardian of the rights of man; though this may err, yet its errors are honest, solitary and short-lived."
I learned of this from a question and have been reading about it since..migod does it make sense...

Please read the sources before going off on a rant...and maybe you can identify the founding fathers who I am quoting...none of this is mine but I sure wish it was...

Here is a solution to 2 of America's problems.All the illegal Mexicans they catch jumping the fence they should send to Iraq to fight the terrorists,if after 2 years they are still alive we will make them legal(if they get lucky they might kill a few terrorists lol)But they would also be good spys being the same color and looking so much like muslims! Also it will save us money and men,because from the looks of this worthless,stupid war with Iraq,this country will be broke before it ends !
