Yesterday Nancy Pelosi made this statement!

Today we recognize the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade -- a cornerstone of the womens reproductive rights.
On this day in 1973, the Supreme Court recognized that a woman has the power and fundamental right to choose what happens to her body and, by extension, her future.
I will continue to fight for the right to choose, for safe and quality reproductive health care, comprehensive and medically sound reproductive education, and access to contraception in the United States and abroad.

Today I answer this statement!

The reproductive system is designed so that a female produces an egg which has half of the chromosomes of a complete cell. The male produces a sperm cell, which also has half the chromosomes of a normal cell. When the sperm and egg cells combine that makes a complete cell, like other cells. This new cell is UNIQUE and will become a unique human being, never to be duplicated. It grows to become an offspring of it's parents. A human cell, does NOT become a dog, a rat or an elephant. A chicken cell does not become an eagle. muskrat or chimpanzee. Parents produce offspring of themselves.

An egg or sperm might be considered just a part of their originator, but when they combine, they become a totally, completely new being, with half of their chromosomes coming from their mother and half coming from their father. To destroy this is to destroy a totally UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL. A COMPLETELY INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL. This is the definition of murder.

To argue that "life is in the blood" and that, a single cell has no blood and therefore has no life is disingenuous. The cell uses the mother's blood to sustain it's life, until that cell can divide and produce blood of it's own. Clearly, no single celled organism has blood and yet they exist and reproduce. Are they saying that all the microbes and bacteria are not alive? If they admit that microbes and bacteria are alive and are uniquely different from each other, then how can they deny that a fetus is alive? And a fetus is undeniably UNIQUE! This argument is spurious and vacuous. The statement that the life is in the blood, is a simple reference to the fact that a multicelled being would die if his/her blood were removed.

A human egg, fertilized by a human sperm, becomes a human being! To say that it is not human simply because of the state of it's development is absurd. Will we soon say that people over fifty are not human, simply because of their state of age and development? Some might even dare to do that, but they are probably not over fifty!

What of a woman's rights? First, a woman has an absolute right and an absolute moral obligation to say NO, to anyone except her husband! Second, half or more of aborted babies are women, female, what of their woman's rights to even exist? To argue that abortion is a woman's right when it is being used to select gender by destroying women seems to indicate a major defect in logic. And what of the child's rights? Do any of us have the right to kill an innocent person just because it suits our convenience? Then, why is this "right" given to women? The right to LIVE is a fundamental RIGHT, GIVEN BY GOD! NO ONE has the right to destroy an innocent, unique and human life! NO ONE! The right to life transends all other rights for without life, THERE ARE NO OTHER RIGHTS!

What of the mother's health? This is a matter that can and should be taken into consideration before pregnancy. If it is determined that a pregnancy poses a serious risk, steps can be taken to avoid pregnancy. Further, this is very often a false excuse. Rarely is the mother's life in such serious danger that steps like c section before full term could not resolve the matter. All possible steps should be made to save both mother and child.

A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.


The study concluded that the statements "were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses."

The study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel did not comment on the merits of the study Tuesday night but reiterated the administration's position that the world community viewed Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a threat.

"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said.

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.

"It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al-Qaida," according to Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in Journalism staff members, writing an overview of the study. "In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."

Named in the study along with Bush were top officials of the administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and Scott McClellan.

Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al-Qaida, the study found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al-Qaida.

The center said the study was based on a database created with public statements over the two years beginning on Sept. 11, 2001, and information from more than 25 government reports, books, articles, speeches and interviews.

"The cumulative effect of these false statements — amplified by thousands of news stories and broadcasts — was massive, with the media coverage creating an almost impenetrable din for several critical months in the run-up to war," the study concluded.

"Some journalists — indeed, even some entire news organizations — have since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was far too deferential and uncritical. These mea culpas notwithstanding, much of the wall-to-wall media coverage provided additional, 'independent' validation of the Bush administration's false statements about Iraq," it said.

Israel has closed all border crossings into Gaza, cutting off food and humanitarian supplies to the coastal strip in a bid to pressure its Hamas rulers to stop a barrage of rocket attacks on Israeli towns, defense officials said Friday.

Ten rockets slammed into southern Israel on Friday, one damaging a day care center in the town of Sderot and another hitting Ashkelon, a town of 120,000 people. No injuries were reported.

Israeli aircraft fired on rocket launchers in northern Gaza in retaliation. Hamas security officials said two Palestinians were killed — a Hamas militant who had just fired rockets and a 17-year-old civilian who apparently was an onlooker.

The rocket attacks escalated following an Israeli anti-rocket raid in Gaza that left 19 Palestinians dead Tuesday, including the son of a prominent Hamas leader.

About 20 trucks of food scheduled to enter Gaza on Friday would not be allowed through, said Defense Ministry spokesman Shlomo Dror. The crossings are routinely closed Saturdays, and may not be reopened Sunday morning if the rocket fire continues, he said.

The territory, home to 1.4 million Palestinians, receives food and humanitarian supplies from Israel and aid organizations.

"It's time that Hamas decide to either fight or take care of its population," Dror said. "It's unacceptable that people in Sderot are living in fear every day and people in the Gaza Strip are living life as usual."

Israel has maintained a blockade on Gaza since Hamas violently seized the territory in June, but continued to allow in basic food items and humanitarian supplies. With those now cut off, life is certain to become more difficult for Gaza's already impoverished residents, who have suffered from erratic supplies of some food, fuel, spare car parts, computer paper and goods.

Dror said Gazans had enough food that no one would go hungry and assured "there will not be a humanitarian crisis in Gaza."

The increasing violence has clouded Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, resumed after a Mideast conference in November sponsored by President Bush. The Israeli operations have drawn condemnations from moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who rules from the West Bank and is Israel's partner in the peace negotiations.

The United Nations condemned Israel's order.

"This can only lead to the deterioration of an already dire situation," said Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for UNRWA, the U.N. agency in charge of Palestinian refugees. Closing the crossings "can only lead to the further radicalization of a depressed and demoralized people."

UNRWA's leading official in Gaza, John Ging, said Israel had informed his office that the crossings would be closed for a few days. On a regularly working day an average of 120 trucks of food and humanitarian supplies enter Gaza, Ging said.

Dror said about 9,000 cows have been allowed into Gaza in the past two months, enough for several weeks even if meat supplies are cut off.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Israel's decision was "part of the ongoing Israeli escalation and aggression policy against our people."

At least 30 Palestinians have been killed since Tuesday, mostly armed militants.

Hamas and other groups have fired more than 150 rockets and mortars since Tuesday, according to the Israeli military. The strikes caused no serious injuries, but have further traumatized Israeli residents who have been living with daily barrages for years.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Thursday that Israel would not stand for the relentless salvos and vowed to strike at Palestinian militants "without compromise, without concessions and without mercy." Olmert toured Sderot, the Israeli town that is the preferred target for Palestinian rocket squads, late Thursday.

A spokesman for Abbas, Nabil Abu Rdeineh, said the violence was calling into question further peace talks. "No one can proceed with negotiations when the situation is like this," he told The Associated Press.

Israel's military has been unable to counter the low-tech, short-range rockets that have plagued Israel's south for six years, killing 12 people. Airstrikes and pinpoint ground operations have killed hundreds of Gaza militants, and full-blown invasions have caused widespread casualties and damage — but none of the measures have stopped the rocket fire for long.

While ratcheting up its military response in Gaza, Israel has scaled back operations in the West Bank as it talks peace with Abbas' government, and has granted amnesty to hundreds of Palestinian gunmen there. But some army raids continue, especially in the town of Nablus, considered a hotbed of militant activity.

Early Friday, Israeli troops in Nablus killed a wanted Palestinian militant from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed group tied to Abbas' Fatah movement, according to the military and Palestinian officials. The military said the man was responsible for planning suicide bombings and manufacturing weapons.

Too easy to predict, everyone that is capable of any brainwave activity could have called this, lets watch and see how many more terrorist nations we can support in the Middle East.

Former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, and now Hitler jr. George Bush claimed handing over Gaza and the West Bank would ease tension in the region, what a joke!

The total debt in America (Federal, municipal, corporate, real estate & consumer debt) in 1980 was about $2 1/2 Trillion. Presently it is over $17 Trillion! This means it has increased more than 600% in 25 years! We have a collapsing economy that is not capable of repaying that debt! This indebtedness exceeds the total real estate and corporate equities of the entire country! We're insolvent. We owe European bankers. The Federal government must borrow over a trillion dollars in the next 12 months - more than a billion dollars per day, just to pay the interest! ----New World Order.

When the United States gets into financial trouble it causes world-wide economic instability. We really do have an insurmountable problem, based on the inability to pay back our debt right now. What can we do now? Some are saying we will have hyper inflation- printing more and more money to pay old debts. This is what ruined the economy of Germany before World War II. The effect of this is that people's hard-earned savings will become practically useless. In Germany people had to take a wheelbarrow full of money to the store just to buy a few groceries.

Every time you charge interest you create a problem. Money has not been printed to cover that interest, so there isn't enough money to cover all the debts. Picture this simple scenario. Suppose there was $1000 in real money printed, and half of it was loaned out at 10% interest. The total amount of money now held or due would be $1050, but there would only be $1000 to cover it!. Imagine how this problem is compounded by the constant lending of the same money. Another way of looking at this is that if everyone demanded the money due them there would only be a fraction of that total amount available to meet that demand

If we were strong enough morally, to stand alone, we could conceivably let the rest of the world do whatever crazy things they want to do, but we don't have that luxury, because we owe so much to foreign banks.

Our financial weakness also gives rise to trade wars and what might be unfavorable trade agreements, such as NAFTA and GATT. The GATT agreement is a 22000 page document which includes provision for a World Trade Organization (with no practical means of withdrawal).

There is no doubt about it. The terrorists in the Middle East are winning the war on terror. Whether they are the Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq or Hezbollah and Hamas in Israel, the forces of evil, death and destruction are prevailing. The United States has lost its credibility by not standing behind the rhetoric on how to succeed in the war on terror that once emanated from the Bush administration.

The forces of terror have brought the giant to its knees. The world's great superpower, the United States now stands in a position to negotiate with those who make no secret about calling for it's destruction.

And for the Jewish people and the land of Israel? With Hamas clearly in power in both northern and southern Gaza, we can expect that the amount of Kassam rockets directed at Sderot and other Jewish communities in the western Negev to continue unabated. We can expect more attempted kidnappings of Israeli soldiers and the wanton murder of Israeli civilians. Was it only two years ago, back in the summer of 2005 that the Jewish people in Israel were promised peace on its southern border by evacuating the settlements of Gush Katif and handing over the land to the Palestinian Authority. The world watched as Israeli soldiers forcibly removed thousands of Jewish inhabitants of the Gush Katif region. Prosperous businesses, schools, homes, synagogues and yeshivas were burned to the ground in the name of "peace" with their "Arab neighbors".

"Let's give the Palestinians in Gaza their independence and full autonomy," the forces of "peace" declared. They insisted in their arrogance that this move will insure peace in that region and will expedite the process of long term harmony between Israelis and Palestinians. So much for that fallacy and for those who peddled that garbage.

The state of "Hamastan" was helped through the birth canal by a Jewish state that has lost its sense of purpose, vision and clarity. The state of "Hamastan" exists today because of empty and mindless Jewish leaders of Israel who did everything in their power, directly and indirectly to create this entity. And so today, if we see a multitude of Kassam rockets being launched by Hamas into Israel, rest assured that this will be nothing compared to what lies ahead. Let us stay mindful in our perspective on the extent to which the Jewish State is in danger. Now, Judea and Samaria, also known as the West Bank has been transformed into "Fatahstan" as well. The violence is Gaza is just a harbinger of things to come in the liberated territories of Judea and Samaria. While the US may tout the line that Fatah is a "moderate" Palestinian force, we know the opposite to be true. Their rhetoric is on par with their rival Hamas as far as Israel is concerned and they make no bones about it. They too are terrorists of the worst kind and are dedicated to shedding the blood of all Jews. Their bloodlust is not more "moderate" than Hamas.

So there you have it. "Hamastan" and "Fatahstan". Two new terrorist Arab states, living side by side with Israel.
