I'm pro-life.  If you think one may have slipped by you have just shy of 16 days before gastrulation occurs to deal with it.  The pregnacy can be stopped within the first 5 days with the "morning after pill"  (the earlier taken the higher effectivness rate 3 days around 90%, 5 days around 80%)  In my province anyone can walk into a hospital, clinic, sexual health centre, school nurse office, health authority office, etc and recieve the medication for free: or go to the pharmacy and pay for it.

I believe gastrulation is when the embryo becomes a human.  You can impregnate most mammals with a embryo from a mammal of another species, and it will implant itself and grow up until the point of gastrulation (I use the term most because as far as I know it has only been tried with cows, pigs, rats, monkeys, rabbits, horses, and whales).

It sickens me that in my country it is technically legal to kill the fetus even after labour has begun.  (I highly doubt anyone would do it but it still sickens me).

Here in America we do everything in our power to stop people from getting emergency contraception.  That is the American way!

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
