  • He's a RINO. He's the next Arlen Specter. How can he call himself a Republican? He is weak. He says you can hold a different opinion and disagree? He does not velieve judicial activism exists or if it does it's okay? He will not be reelected. He's out of the mainstream.

  • @ToxicOdiousOne i love when you guys disown your own! i also love it when you guys self-destruct regarding the constitution you hate but pretend is the most sacred document ever conceived by men and then proceed to piss all over it when things don't go your way. activist judges = constitutionally legitimate judges doing their jobs. don't like it? change the constitution, asshole.

  • Graham looks like the guy from Kids in the Hall

  • when does graham not have an idiotic moment?

    he is a closet homo.

  • Most likely when he's asleep! And please don't insult gays, they have enough of an image problem without having Graham associated with them.

  • i know of our image problems....but i seriously think that he is closet.

  • I didn't say that he wasn't gay. I was just saying that suggesting he might be gay could be offensive to some gays. But you could be right some of the biggest homophobes in the USA seem to have a problem with their own sexual orientation if you know what i mean. I mean most of these guys are hypocrites when it comes to their personal lives and yet they want to scold the rest of us about how to live our lives. But anyway he's not very bright whether he's straight or gay.

  • See Cons? The "liberal media" doesn't have to make you look dumb, you can handle that yourselves.

  • stop using cenks page to fight about if jesus was real or not and stay on fucking topic with what this video was talking about.

  • your right torture doesn't work!!!!!!!

  • lidsey and the gop = FAIL

  • I was gonna point out the 500 year old thing but it was already covered by the end of the video. Pretty fucking stupid, eh? Gotta learn to be light hearted in light of this shit so as not to spontaneously combust...

  • it is believable how ignorant these white guys with southern accents are.

  • stupid people are people too

  • STOOOOOOPER DUCK!

  • bill clinton administration never waterboarded anyone after the first world trade center and we never got hit again. Except for when we got hit when bush decided to ignore the loud and clear memos.

  • Ali Soufan is a real American hero.

  • I disagree with Cenk. Sen. Graham is playing dumb to help the former administration and cover himself.

  • Ya THINK!!!!! I can't stand Sen Graham....what a total waist of oxygen.

  • Republicans need to make up their minds whether the reason no further inquiry is needed is that all issues are already settled and torture is over forever or whether dropping things is needed so the CIA will go "hardcore" again when we "need it." Chilling them permanently is the whole point numbnuts Graham.

  • Don't confuse Lindsey with reality.

  • Why does Sen Graham look like he's stoned?

  • This guy is almost as big a fuckup as Joe Barton. Keep reaching for that rainbow conservitards..

  • No wonder the Republicans lost. Look at this fucktard!

  • I don't care whether Graham is gay or not.

    He's just a horrible person who has defended those who crapped on the US Constitution & caused many deaths, injuries, heartaches, and much misery.

  • well put.

  • This was a video on torture not right to life or whatever you all are blabbing about. You are all crazy....

  • Graham, all along, supported the evil being done...making him evli as well.

  • fuck you jong turks..fuck al turks!

    pigs

  • Rednecks like Graham are a dying breed. Thank god

  • The authorized harsh interrogation in April and May of 2002 well before the Justice Department had rendered any legal opinion had as its principal priority an attempt to force the confession of a link between Iraq and al-Qaida.

    It was not an attempt to obtain intelligence that would uncover the plans for some sort of terror attack against the U.S.

    The Bush and Cheney criminals used torture and the fear of imminent death to elicit what it wanted to hear. Confess, and we stop the TORTURE!!!

  • Just ignore the fact that Soufan lied and said that Zubayda was waterboarded 83 times. He was not.

  • When Sen Graham hit the Senate I very much liked him.

    And it wouldn't bother me at all if he is gay.

    But he keeps getting nuttier & nuttier every yr.

    I do hope the good citizens of his state will kick him out of Congress next time.

  • fuck u racist bastard towards obamamomwhitetrash

  • I remember when Cheney convinced me on the TV talk show circuit that there were definitely WMDs in Iraq. He wouldn't lie to us, again. Would he?

  • Leave him alone, HIS name is "Lindsey" for god sakes.

  • That reminds me of John Cornyn and his "24" question during the Holder confirmation. These guys are just embarrassing. It's like they have the cognitive skills of a child who still believes Santa Claus is real.

  • Generally speaking...Graham should shut up!

    We've done it for so long it must be good!

    Hell, we wiped out witches, didn't we?

  • We can blame the Republican party all day long about how they can't accept reality...but it seems the only people calling them out are folks like TYT. We can't be too mad at them if we don't force our mass media to stand up to these bullies. We are still treating them with kid gloves. It's time to take the gloves off....What they did was torture...there IS no debate...we shouldn't continue to engage in one. It's only distracting attention from what needs to be done....prosecution.

  • What are they talking about? Torture is illegal. So it doesn't matter, whether it works or not!

  • the real surprise is the fact that republicunts have any senators left

  • Short story: Sen. Graham is an asshole. 5/5

  • Republicans are a bunch of ignorant malcontents, who can be worked into a frenzy about anything. They simply can't live with the reality that they lost the election so badly. Their desperation has lead them to look increasingly insane. Their divorce from reality and retreat into the political netherland of subjective hate and fear, runs counter to the direction of the conciousness of our country. These Palinesque optics will lead them to a major defeat in 2010 and 2012. Life is beautiful.

  • Fact is, despite the Bush/Cheney presidency, a flawed Candidate McCain and his flawed choice for Veep running mate: Alaska Governor Sarah Palin - (she was politically attacked and defined "Dan Quayle style" by Dimmy Dems) - and despite being outspent $2 to $1 by Obama reneging on public campaign funding limits, Republicans only lost the U.S. Presidential Election by 5 percentage points. That is a very close election result, to my own view. Dems continue to "Write Off" White Men. We will see.

  • of course the repubs will gain power once again, but now they're led by a bunch of narcissistic, incompetent politicians. there is not one good choice to lead the republican party, so anyone holding their breath for the republicans to regain capitol hill will asphyxiate.

    popular vote is usually close, because the underdog party will still get out and vote. state by state, Obama beat McCain silly. electoral votes are what matter. in Bush v. Gore, I believe it was a different matter.

  • Sen Graham is a tool!!

    Was Graham in Gitmo? God, why do some people vote for such tools.

  • WHAT KIND OF IDIOT SAYS THAT WATER BOARDING WORKS! ITS PROVEN THAT IT DOESENT WORK! If you were to torture me I would confess to ANYTHING! ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love how these idiots(the republicans) are running around acting like it's no big deal however I don't see one of them offering to do it. And McCain needs to stand up to these jokers and tell them what I know he believes that it is wrong. One of them even said McCain couldn't testify because he jad been tortured. Who would be more qualified than someone who has experienced it? Come on Hannity you said you would do it for charity you coward!

  • some men have died from waterboarding,thinking they'd survive.were they murderd in name of national security intentional drowning is attempted murder that sometimes ends in death.

  • I agree, they just don't get it. Americans are sick of this kind of politics. It's corrupt and sneaky. We had a belly full of corrupt and sneaky the last eight years and if one republican wants to be seen as any thing other than vile they need to break with this shit. They need to stand up and say this wasn't right and we denounce it and it was a mistake and then we can move on. But as long as they try to defend this kind of behavior no one , but no one will trust them!

  • The republicans refuse to accept that the election is over. They are in total denial. So they will keep using the same failed tactics over and over and over again, even if it means they will lose more seats. They are completely detached from reality. Sad.

  • This is simply an attempt to divert attention from the truth that has come ut of these hearing! Do you really think Graham didn't know that the statement was retracted? He knew , but what he really wanted was a soap box to again make a pitch for the use of torture. This is one of the reasons I am so turned off by these republicans. Why can't they just come out and say we were wrong! We aren't gonna do it again. Then it might get resolved and we can move on! As long as they are defending it we ct

  • Hey slavery was also very effective for more than 500 hundred years.

    Is senator Graham saying that because of tradition with should continue the practice?

    long befores that Jesus Christ was also tortured, and even longer than that, the jews where tortured in egipt.

  • Israeli archaeologists have found that there is zero evidence the Jews were ever in Egypt and there is still zero evidence that Jesus ever existed. Please ... don't include Bronze Age myths in your argument. You only succeed in looking as stupid as Graham.

  • Wow, you deny the existent of Jesus Christ.

    What Scholl you graduated from? Did they replaced History with Conspiracy theorist?

    I guess everyone have the right to be wrong, you seem to be a big on that.

    Hey dude why stop there? Let me give you some more bit issue you can deny too.

    Holocaust, Global Warming,

  • Even the most radical of the Atheist and Agnostic on the Planet recognized the Jesus Christ was Historical figure.

    There are written record in the Vatican that Jesus was crucified by Roman Emperors Tiberius Cesar.

    There is written Record that the Romans emperor Constantine became a Christian.

    I am pretty sure that no sane Historian in the world disputes the existent of Jesus Chris,

    But I guess that you can find a Crackpot here and there that will deny the fact.

  • It is completely untrue that everyone agrees on the historical Jesus. And if I want the truth, the Vatican is the last place I would look for it. The fact that Constantine converted to Christianity has nothing to do with Jesus' believability as a historical person. By that standard I could say that Mars, Jupiter, and Venus also existed because Constantine believed in them first.

    As for crackpots ... I'm not the one who believes in zombies.

  • This guy represents me...

    ...I apologize to the nation and world.

  • R.I.P. GOP

  • fucking pwnt... graham the douchebag

  • its completely irrelevant if good info came from waterboarding....

  • fucking idiots

  • how can we elect a senator who is so stupid?

  • how could all of america have elected a president who is so stupid..................... twice

  • Xiller8, not all of America voted for Bush, get that straight. I would of thought people outside the US would know that already.

  • Bush stole the first election and there is substantial evidence that the second election was also fraudulent.

  • It's actually somewhat good that these dumb arguments get raised just so they can be debunked in an officially capacity. Like someone below me commented, people in places of power are hopefully smart enough to take the questions and answers for what they really are.

    Of course some of them are corrupt anyway but you couldn't convince those people no matter what you say.

  • The Republicans are trying to defend the indefensible. It just makes them look pathetic.

  • I didn't even expect the Spanish Inquisition.

  • don't worry, nobody does

  • Ali Soufan is a hero

  • I'll tell you why Lindsey Graham, at the end of that questioning, had a smug 'gotcha' look on his face: Because he's a politician. Even when he's just had his ass handed to him, he knows he has to pretend that he's 'won'.

    wouldn't it be great if people like him admitted they were wrong when they are shown to be wrong? Yeah, but that isn't ever going to happen. Intelligent people can see who was right in this video, that's what counts.

  • ImpeachCommieObama is a POE.

    Top notch.

  • Torturing primitive barbarian SONS OF BITCHES.

  • I can't believe the state of South Carolina re-elected this big douche.

  • This should really not even be an argument...How can we possibly torture and then go around promoting democracy? This is just silly, in WW2 we got an entire captured platoon full of nazis to give us strategic information for attack, and anything else at all that we needed, they sold out the fuhrer and can you believe it we didn't have to torture them!! So for anyone to say it is necessary or the only way, fuck off you're wrong case closed. There is no grey area here, you're just wrong. fuck you

  • the funny thing is, he thinks he's being smart and logical

  • Lindsey Graham is so sassy....lol

  • What ever happend to "moral values"? I don't hear you guys talking about that any more. I guess bringing someone within an inch of their life is as moral as you can get right? smh.

  • I don't believe the people of South Carolina are so stupid as to return this jerk to the Senate.

  • sen lindsay sounds like a frog. Anyone who talks like that should not be allowed to speak

  • To me, Mr. Graham sounds like Cleveland from Family Guy.

  • His name is Lindsey...

  • People like Graham don't give a rat's ass about the details - they only care about whether or not any particular issue can gain them political capital. They toss around serious issues like they're Monopoly play money.

  • Man these Republicans are really paying the price for relying on these rabble rousing Limbaugh types to increase their share of the votes. The let that Jennie out, and now its taken over the party, infusing it with its willful and vain glorious ignorance.

  • If they had not used them in Salem we would have never caught those damn witches. Water boarding has to be retained or we will be over run by those damn witches. Maybe Lindsey Graham is a witch. He sort of looks like one. Let's water board him and then ask him if he is a witch.

  • I just know this is not it this is not the wholeee story. yet he doesn't even know that the little piece of paper he printed out is usless. what a fucking joke. hell maybe i should become a senator, at least then i'd try to be informed on things before i opened my dumb ass fucking mouth.

    oh yeah, and you fucking idiots who keep calling everyone that bashes on these fucks "liberals" fuck off. I'm no liberal, and you're all full of shit.

  • Ali Soufan, damn now I see the advantage of speaking multiple languages and being of a diverse cultural background.

    I know this is prejudiced, but to me the Southern drawl is highly irritating, very ethnocentric i know.

  • no you are right, he sounds like his mother was his fathers sister.

  • I'm sure this Lindsay Graham is being played by Ricky Gervais.

  • Wow, Lindsay Graham's still living in the dark ages.

  • He has a girls name?! LOL...

  • That's retarded! Legally crafted to not meet the legal definiton of torture? In what way?

    Don't be a lazy conserva-fuck. Think instead of sucking on Rush's dick for a while.

  • How about read the constitution or the geneva convention. Then go wash your mouth out with soap.

  • well we know your not educated, as an educated individual does not resort to name calling :P

  • Looks like somebody's a bit of a sore loser. Mr. Conservative doesn't want a black man in the white house! Mr. Conservative only trusts old white men...Mr. Conservative thinks communism is the same as fascism. He never bothered to educate himself on the subject, or else he'd realize it's pretty much the opposite and Obama is no where near being a communist!! Mr. Conservative doesn't care, he goes about his day, fucking old white men and skinning puppies, all he wants is torture for all terrorist

  • millions of harvard-educated lawyers? what rock are you living under? please just stop, your misconstrued views are stunningly off base. I bet you think Palin is more qualified than Obama, huh buddy?

  • GOV. PALIN IS FAR MORE QUALIFIED THAN PRESIDENT GHETTO...

    All you loser Liberals can point to is that the negro went to Harvard Law. This isn't law school, son, it's leader of the free world. You must be a college dork.

    This burnt match has never done anything with his legal career. He practiced 3 years in a rinky-dink Civil Rights firm and was an adjunct lecturer. That's pathetic.

    Gov. Palin couldn't hire this ghetto scum as a low-level member of the Governor's Counsel's Office.

  • So instead of an educated person you want a moron who can't take care of and control her five kids...? Good job, idiot. Sarah Palin is the REASON so many republicans voted for Obama.

  • NO MORON...

    I'd rather have someone with professional accomplishments and an education like Governor Palin, not some random ape who has never accomplished anything professionally and who just paid off his student loans at age 47. The thought that this negro could turn around a $15 trillion economy when he couldn't even pay off a $100k student loan until he was nearly 50, is absurd. I knew it, but uneducated losers like you didn't.

  • Ah.. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Keep talking and prove yourself a moron, And bonus, Racist. Keep going.

    Yes, I'm uneducated... That's why Tax cuts for everyone would pay off a debt.... THE REPUBLICAN PLAN. Tax cuts and no spending. Yay lets NOT spend when it will make us crumble, unless it's on defense... then spend TRILLIONS.

    Are you forgetting the Economic policy of people like Palin got us into this mess...? Yay I'm a loser who remembers history.

  • YOU COULD POSSIBLY BE THE MOST UNEDUCATED MORON ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET...

    Give me on example of when Keynesian economics worked in history so I can humiliate you. I'll tell you when tax cuts and decreased spending worked--the 1980s. I'll tell you when tax cuts kept us from heading into an immediate Depression--2001. Take a basic course in economics at a real college rather than being ghetto trash.

  • one*

  • I'm going to Assume you mean TAX AND SPEND the democrats way of economics. What you are talking about was SUPPORTED by both sides.

    Tax cuts in the 80s did work. Yes. I agree. However you want to believe it, Tax cuts didn't help a whole hell of a lot when the president was spending trillions of dollars on two wars, one we didn't need.

    You're being stupid now McCain and Palin's plan was to freeze spending and give tax cuts only. THIS WILL NOT LOWER THE DEBT. And they also believed in bailouts.

  • EDUCATION TIME...

    Okay, here's my plan for you and your family. Liquidate all of your assets. Spend all the money by the end of the week on random things. Let me know how you're making out.

    Grow a brain, idiot. The only way things ever get better, for family or nation, is to act in a fiscally responsible manner. You save as much as possible, and spend as little as possible.

    Thanks to people like you, we have President Buckwheat. Check out the new RNC vid. Haha.

  • Lmao. He's not spending it on random things...

    Grow a brain.. You tell me to grow a brain and yet you aren't seeing the picture. Even if they halted some programs, there are others they HAD to spend money on, and they would have put anything else they had into defense. All while giving tax cuts.

    Education time for you.

    Here is your plan:

    Take your money... and budget it... Put money aside for your bills, ect... But cut the income you make.... and see if you have enough to pay off any debt.

  • What did people like you get us....? George W Bush.

  • Goddamn...

  • First of all you're a of shithead, and judging by your profile pic and name, I'm guessing you're lacking a life as well. Only an idiot republican would find a way to make fun of someone in college.

    Anyways, being senator is far more important than being governor. Palin is worthless; or do I have to remind you that she is unfamiliar with the continents, is unaware of the Bush doctrine, and couldn't name an American news publication.

    Burnt match? He's the fuckin president.

  • Lindsey Graham is far from being "Mr. Conservative." He's a big liberal-neo"conservative" douche.

  • You dirt piece of shit conservative.

    Education?

    Does it take an education to come here and insult people you scum sucking turd?

    YOU'RE A TYPICAL RATTY-ASS CONSERVATIVE...

  • WHAT, YOU WANT TO FUCK ME ?!?!

    WHAT KIND OF CONSERVATIVE ARE YOU...

    WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,

    I'LL LET YOU SUCK MY BIG BLACK GHETTO DICK.

    AND BRING YOUR WOMAN ALONG, I KNOW SHE WILL LIKE IT.

    Perhaps you're the one who needs an education asshole.

    Also, remember this one ape that you can't do shit about !

  • WHENEVER I FUCK ONE OF YOUR STUPID BITCHES...

    I long stroke the slut like I was Thomas Jefferson and the ho was Sally Hemmings. Nothing gives me more pleasure than busting that white nut in her mouth.

  • Wow, you're a retard. You also believe in a god right?

  • someone's missing some history knowledge.

  • First they tourture Arabs. Whats next. What will these Rednecks do next, who´s next Jews, Gays and Gipsys. Run fo the hills.

  • Yeah, and torture's been "working for 500 years"?!!! WTF!?! I cannot believe he said that.

  • What's sad is this man represents millions of people, WTF?

  • I'm absolutely certain that in the state of South Carolina, there are many young, very intelligent and honorable people who would do a much better job.

  • "The inquisition, what a show, the inquisition, don't you know, we know your wishin that we'd go away, but the inquisitions here and it's here to stay !"....Mel Brooks, History of the world part 2.

  • Lindsay Graham is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than this ass-clown. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Graham wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants!

  • damn, it's hard to believe someone woudl present an identical argument in multiple videos.

    bush is palin's dickless, balless pussy bitch too, huh?

  • Yes Dubya is also Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! ALL MALE POLITICIANS of this world are ALL Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCHES and PUSSIES!

  • 83 times.........not 35 seconds, wow thats close to the same LOL

    at least lindsey did open the interview supporting that waterboarding IS torture, unlike the rest of the republicans that support it.

  • you cant kill something that isn't born yet

  • Cenk but your wrong, he clearly says he tortured in this clip. He was the so called "Head Honcho" How can you distort that?

  • Sen. Graham cares more about covering Republican asses than he is in the truth.

  • Because its not as catchy as "anti-choice policies", which is probably a more accurate description for their position.

  • Good guess, but I am not a woman. And I don't have to be one to tell you to take that sexist, condescending tone of yours and cram it up your ass. And this video has nothing whatsoever to do with abortion, so why don't you ride your high horse over to some other video where you can circle jerk with other anti-choice degenerates.

  • No, you are not a girl. I checked your page, before I wrote that. You just sound like a female brain, not able to think like a real guy, like me in fact. Quite honestly, I don't know who or what you are, and I don't care. You sound more degenerate than me, based on your writings. American Society has degenerated, that's for sure, post-Abortion policies put in place by Supreme Court FIAT in 1973, with approval by sneaky special interest groups you know nothing about, and care to learn nothing abt

  • In your response to ShadeeFan, you show much of a disgusting little man you are. You sound like a female brain? What does that even mean? That he has a rational mind? Regarding the Supreme Court, it is their DUTY to interpret the Constitution, has been for 200 years. They based roe v. Wade on the right of privacy, a right described in previous cases that they were basically required to follow (by precedent). The 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th Amendments provide an implicit right to privacy.

  • Yes, I really LOVE it when you pro-Abort people talk about the "Right to Privacy" kind of like Gov't in Guantanamo suggesting those tortured prisoners have a right to privacy not to let those pictures of their abuse out, right? Ha hah - what a joke your argument makes. Corporations - Insurance Companies, Hospitals, telling Lawyers for Family Members -- Oh, we WOULD let you have records of how we screwed up your Loved One's Care, but we have to respect our Patients' Rights to Privacy. Yeah, right

  • You are obviously psychotic, so let me say this - who in the government is saying that that the prisoners in Girmo have a privacy right to not let those pictures out? I'm not even going to ask if you're nuts, because you so clearly are. By the way, a couple things about medical records - there is a privacy LAW that initially requires that they respect the patients privacy rights - HOWEVER, medical records may be discoverable in a lawsuit against the hospital/doctor.

  • The ruination of Germany, was the right to vote for women, which in Germany came before here in America. German Nazi Party assiduously courted female votes, and they actually succeeded in electing Adolph Hitler into national office. Today, Democratic Party in America, has figured for 20 or more years - at least since George Mitchell as U.S. Senate Majority Leader - they can win elections without White Male Votes. Again, we Witness the Ruination of another Nation -- this time, Our OWN. Bush=Obama

  • Any "implied" right to privacy -- and our privacy rights are pretty flimsy of late -- does not necessarily countenance or support a "right to abortion." Think about it - do your own constitutional rights permit you to snuff your neighbor? Anyone? No. Think of it this way: If you do not have the Right to Life, then all your other presumed, implied, legal or God Given Rights are Null and Void. The Right to Life has Primacy, and should not be subject to Politics. Why should My Life be Subject to Ur

  • For the 10th time, a day-old zygote is scientifically NOT a life, therefore it does not matter whether or not you can snuff your neighbor.

  • (Cont'd) We are not a Civil Law country where each and every right is written down in painful detail, where you are denied any right not specifically written down - we are a Common Law country, which provides for judges interpreting the law WITHIN LIITATIONS. It has nothing to do with making up laws and rights or forcing a decision out of "FIAT", you freak of nature.

  • Uhm - a day old zygote is not a "life" that you "kill" - in fact, the morning after pill even stops conception, and if the egg does happen to be fertilized, it stops the implantation just the morning after - it has nothing to do with "life". Perhaps if you let people use contraceptives, and taught them how to use them effectively, there would be *gasp* no abortions! How about that! And yes, it is ALL about choice, privacy and control over your own body.

  • The easiest and most scientifically accurate definition of life, is anything post fertilization, including pre-implantation. Referring to this new human life as non-life or non-human is unscientific, untruthful, and dishonest. Further, it opens the door to all manner of unethical BioTech experimentation on human beings. I say, slam the door shut by defining human life with scientific, moral, and political accuracy. Life begins at conception. Choose Life. Corps & Govt give privacy? Don't think so

  • mdelcamp -wow, you're an idiot - that is NOT the "scientific" and "accurate" definition of life. In fact, you don't even get a fetus, let alone viability, until 8 weeks into the pregnancy. To claim that PRE IMPLANTATION as life is "scientific" and "accurate" is plain ridiculous, and you have no proof to back you up. I forgot to mention in my other post to you, if it weren't for the right to privacy, the police could search you WITHOUT A WARRANT and no reason the second you leave your house.

  • Thanks for the attempt at ad hominem insult - that means we are getting somewhere fast. Viability, Trimesters, Quickening - we don't need these terms to discuss pre-Born Baby's Gestation anymore, because since 1973, we have Ultrasound, and Pictures of Beating Hearts, Real Fingers and Toes, much earlier than Eight Weeks. Any woman shown a video of her own, growing, preborn child inside her womb, would Never Abort. Women who bring their Children to Term Give Life. Sorrows in life, but Child is Joy

  • Actually, mdelcamp, we DO need to talk about viability, since earlier the Courts had focused on specific trimesters and now, because of medical advances, we are focusing on viability. If the zygote cannot live outside the mother, how exactly is that life? And, like I said, a 1-day old zygote is not life, even under YOUR definition. Finally, you think a woman who is raped would never abort simply because you shove a picture in her face?

  • You are not making the same argument of the pro-Abort Feminists, at all. They say Abortion should be readily available, a private choice, and doctors must be trained and willing or unwilling providers of same, right to the very last day of the Ninth Month of Gestation in the Mother's Womb. Even the controversy over Partial Birth Abortion seems to have passed you by completely. We are talking about Legalized, sometimes forced, Infanticide and Euthanasia here. Also, hormonal pills are very harmful

  • mdelcamp - as people have mentioned, nobody is "pro-abortion", they are PRO-CHOICE. Secondly, nobody has said that we should abort up to the ninth month - in fact, that would be illegal. There are some exceptions, such as if the health of the mother is in danger, but if you don't fit under one of the exceptions, it is illegal. You are psychotic if you think that a woman finds out she is pregnant early, wants to have an abortion, but decides to wait until the 9th month for fun - you are NUTS.

  • You know, people talk freely about "CHOICE" but only in the Life or Death Context of ABORTION. What "choice" are we speaking about? Why, the "choice" to snuff out a human life. The nature of arguments, all these red herrings about rape and bacteria and how I am psychotic, this is all typical of the pro-Abort arguments and Government Corporate Feminist crappola I have been listening to since 1970 at least -- 39 years of this pro-Abort NONSENSE. Oh, and then we have the U.S. Supreme Court FIAT.

  • mdelcamp - I am only going to respond to you one more time unless you can start making sense. I have explained to you about 10 times how a one-day old zygote is NOT a life, you are exercising control over your own body instead of having someone else control it with certain limitations) I have also explained why your idiotic screaming of the word "fiat" with regard to the Supreme Court is just plain wrong. THIS is why I call you psychotic - because you spew rather than reading and responding.

  • "ZYGOTE" -- refers to a new life in Biology, so if a zygote is what it is, how is it not life? One day old, one week old, one month old, one year old - LIFE. How old are YOU, by the way? You started YOUR life as a ZYGOTE. You figured that out yet, Honey?

  • mdelcamp - that is YOUR definition of a zygote - a zygote is essentially a fertilized ovum - it is YOUR decision to attach the label "life" to it. Yes, I began as a zygote, but I am ALIVE today because I grew to become VIABLE and BORN - my life did not occur at conception - hell, we still have gills during early development.

  • I know what a zygote is. I'm not on the edge of insanity like some people. Have you ever killed a bug? That's life. What about the germs you kill every day? Those are life. I know I sound crazy, but if you're going to get that specific, then I gotta fight craziness with craziness.

  • If you "gotta fight craziness" I can understand. Myself, I try to avoid killing bugs, if at all possible, so they do not come back like bad karma in another life, and eat me alive like a giant spider in a 1950s B-Horror Movie, or swarm me like beetles from a kitchen sink drain pipe like in a Stephen King screenplay. Plus, I feel better about myself, if I forego killing bugs or other creatures needlessly. Don't forget about that movie, "Starship Troopers" either -- intergalactic war vs the bugs!

  • I started my life with the first beat of my heart... Not a zygote.. not a fertilized egg. And medically, I started it with that too, because when your heart stops beating medically you stop living. It's not a joke... Look it up.

  • People are revived to Life from so-called "heart death" or "brain death" all the time within medical literature and other sources. People in comas for years, can revive and recover consciousness and live the rest of their lives, hopefully, and with thankfulness for their own "full measure" of life. Besides, the heart starts forming, and beating, in pollywogs, let alone human zygotes, very, very early in gestation. It is easiest politically, morally, doctrinally to define Zygote as Life beginning

  • "Brain death" You mean Brain dead...? I never said being brain dead meant YOU were dead. After all, you sound brain dead right now, and yet your heart is still going strong.

    I never said you couldn't be revived... If your heart stops, you die. You can die more than once, if they get to you in time. But if your heart stops for a certain amount of time YOU ARE NOT COMING BACK and medically dead. So tell me how something WITHOUT A HEART is alive.

  • Something without a heart is alive, because we are talking about very early, gestating, God Given human life in the womb of the Mother, which is growing, changing, developing, and which has a full, complete map for it's own existence, yes, apart from the Mother. It is a fully independent and self directed life, which the Mother of any two-year-old would be able to explain to you, far better than myself. I cannot see why people with no appreciation for the value of human life, should make policy.

  • Furthermore, A zygote does NOT have a heart. It does not beat until about 3 weeks into a pregnancy. You saying that the zygote is forming a heart, so it's alive is a false statement. Fetus' develop both male and female parts, very young... if the genes read the baby is female, the Penis falls off and becomes the sister organ, the clit. Does this ( to you) Mean all females have a penis... because it was forming? There is a difference in a forming heart and a beating one.
