The Senate health care bill “[…] includes ‘conscience clause’ language that protects both individuals and entities that refuse to provide, pay for, provide coverage for, or refer for abortion.”
You don’t approve of abortion? Ok, fine, but choose a profession that doesn’t put you in the situation of assisting one.

Ever notice how babies are like cigarettes? The first one is always hard to get out of the pack. You like yours, but if they belong to someone else, they’re annoying.

Blame Shifting
Investment professionals and econo-pundits claiming to speak for Wall Street have been blaming President Obama for the recent run of losses in the stock market. In their view, investors around the world are giving a daily thumbs-up or thumbs-down to the administration’s manifold policy initiatives. “Obama’s Radicalism is Killing the Dow,” read the headline of a Wall Street...

Music of My Heart
He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
Crazy Communication
“… crazy communication — problems caused by confused, vague, misleading, misconceived words and gestures. […]
I’m not talking about communication by crazy people. I’m talking about communication that makes people crazy. Like when someone talks and you can’t figure out why they’re saying what they’re saying. Or they act like they’re disclosing something you feel like they’re hiding something. Or...

No one has a right to force a woman into an abortion, so it’s ok that she carried the pregnancy to full-term. She is opposed to abortion so it seems expected that she didn’t get one. Bottom line: Palin got pregnant and gave birth. She...
