ReplyDeleteWhen we engage we need the best information we can get, both so we can fight the best fight, and so the other side can't discredit our arguments with accusations of hyperbole and misinformation.
David, Congratulations on being the "Standout Examiner" featured in Examiner.com's December newsletter. You are doing an excellent job representing our side- the right side.

ReplyDeleteThe Hue & Cry will ensue when they start publishing a Abortion permits database.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, the government doesn't require permits before obtaining a concealed abortion.
Never mind.
