Abortion and SCHIP

(For those who don't know, SCHIP is a children's health insurance program for families who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to purchase private health insurance).

It appears as though most Republicans are fiercely opposed to abortion, regardless of a mother's or family's ability to provide the child with a healthy living environment.

It also appears as though most Republicans oppose the SCHIP, which would provide health insurance to children whose families cannot afford it.

Hypothetically, it appears as though Republicans will fight to the death for an unborn fetus to develop and live a normal life, but also fight against the notion of providing them with access to medical services.

MY QUESTION is not why Republicans oppose abortion. My question is why Republicans can oppose abortion and SCHIP at the same time.

No political rhetoric ("lib" v. "con"). This is a serious question.

I was pull over in a "speed trap" pass a down wered hill In San Diego, This Motor COP from Traffic Division said I was going 48 mph in a 30mph zone, however he wrote it as 40mph on my ticket and spelled my middle name wrong.

Should I fight This Traffic "Infraction" or go to a California Traffic School,

I am a criminal Justice major in college and i feel I was wrongfully cited in a low-income neighborhood where this cop only used radar gun to justify his citation.

What are your opinions and how should I fight this injustice for revenue!!

Are there any regulations or laws that state how much notice a national guard soldier must be given before deploying? What are the regulations or laws? Where can I find them?

If not, you're missing a real great debate.
Gravel is a genius, Hillary is genuine, Kucinich is sane, Obama is a visionary, and Biden is hilarious.

Or maybe I'm wrong about all of them.

A horrible, horrible field of candidates.

Citizens of the United States, I ask you which would you prefer. An amnesty that rewards illegals and those the illegally profit there from? Or attrition, by making it hard for illegals to get jobs and social services? Which do you want for the future of your Country?

Many people have and will continue to insist the 9-11 attacks were planned by the US Government, I would like to get the opinions of this community in hopes it is an accurate microcosm.

My opinion is that they were terrorist attacks which we simply failed to thwart. The CIA thwarts MANY attacks on a regular basis. There have been plenty of opportunities for at least one of these to fail.

I believe the General Population needs to blame the Government due to our own insecurities. We refuse to flat-out admit that our security was violated and an attack was successful on our soil. It was nothing more than a terrorist attack, no conspiracy.

I am considering putting in a package for STA-21 Naval Officer Commissioning program. I am currently enlisted and have almost 5 years in. I am an AW, rank E-5, Fully qualified. I am interested in putting in my package for the NFO program option, being that I fly with them everyday and know what the job entails. I just have one question/concern....

I enlisted with a GED due to personal issues, Don't have much of a Highschool transcript. I Scored above average on the ASVAB and obtained an SAT score of 1200 combined. I can get all of the recommendations needed.

My question is...Should I even "try" to submit a package for the program? Or will I be looked over because of the GED?


Does anyone know the approval rate? 1 out of 4?

Why is that important? Why do all police departments stress this question when hiring police officers. I don't see why this question is important. or is it important to them? I am in the selection process to become a police officer.

Did anyone here see a massive display of whining and crying and claiming the election was stolen when the Democrates won the Senate and the House by Conservatives? Or is this just something children and Democrats do when things don't go their way?

Did all of those machines just magically work this time? If there was a minimal amount of whinning immediatly after the election you certainly don't see anyone continually dragging it out still.

But I still see you lefties crying about the Presidential elections. Isn't your nose sore by now?
