Lounge of Tomorrow - Yes, we can.

Well that's anthropomorphism at it's finest.

No, Leo, life is not limited to human life. In fact, I'd say human life comprises an unfathomably tiny percentage of what is life.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you meant. But since it doesn't refute Strangler's point in the least, I felt like being obstinate.

Scalia even says he doesn't think the founders intended for the unborn to have the same rights as the born. He opposes Roe for other reasons.

But ISM, of course I know life isn't limited to human life. But since each species by definition gives birth to its own kind, if it is life, it would be human life.

Graphic Abortion Photos to be displayed on moving trucks in FL.

Story here.

Supposedly the organization is non-partisan, but they are going through a county that has been a battleground for the election.

Disgusting

This graphic approach was very common back in the 80s, and I never saw anyone respond to it in any way except to feel contempt for those who put up the display. It's not an approach that changes people's minds. (
and apparently, these trucks will also feature images of the Holocaust, lynchings, and 9/11. Won't the children be delighted! Won't parents have a fine time getting them to sleep that night.)

I gotta agree with JWB. Disgusting, not to mention stupid. (I imagine even the more thoughtful among "right=to=life" supporters will hate this just as much.)

I also wonder if it's illegal. Disturbing the peace with stuff that's very disturbing.

And like flippyshark sez, that sound you hear is the trucks' backfire.

There was a guy here with a truck with very graphic images that used to park down at Balboa Park. We'd have to pass it on the way to the zoo with Madz. Not something you really want your kid to see or have to explain.

Definately doesn't make me sympathetic to their point at all.

You'd think that there would something illegal about that - but I suppose they have a right to free speech as much as the rest of us.

The Washington Post endorses Obama:

Quote:

The choice is made easy in part by Mr. McCain's disappointing campaign, above all his irresponsible selection of a running mate who is not ready to be president. It is made easy in larger part, though, because of our admiration for Mr. Obama and the impressive qualities he has shown during this long race. Yes, we have reservations and concerns, almost inevitably, given Mr. Obama's relatively brief experience in national politics. But we also have enormous hopes.
