If there's "nothing wrong with it"?

I worked for 6 years for an adoption agency in Queens; we had waiting lists for Down, spina bifida, and many other "wrong" babies. The demand for Down babies was one we couldn't fill; most of their kind are killed before birth.

I personally supervised 4 Down babies; one case was of a black woman who adopted 2; both died of heart failure in their first years. She also had a healthy Down boy who was doing very well, thank you, in grammar school.

We have to be very careful not to project our distain for the "less than perfect" onto others, who value them, and who value kids of all kinds.

GOP Senators Introduce Eavesdropping Bill

WASHINGTON - Four Republican senators introduced a bill Thursday that they hope will end the furor over President Bush's surveillance program by writing it into law.

--Fox News (AP)--

The problem here is that since the president has inherent power under the Constitution to gather intelligence on an enemy during wartime, congress has no authority to usurp that power. Contrary to what the leftmedia are saying, the Constitution does not require any court to oversee any type of eavesdropping. The Fourth Amendment doesn't even mention conversations, it only applies to “persons, houses, papers, and effects”, and even if you stretch it to include conversations, it only precludes “unreasonable” searches and seizures, and requires that “no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause”. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that a warrant has to be issued by a court. I see no constitutional reason why a warrant issued by the president or by congress isn't just as valid as one issued by a court. - BK

Carter Seeks Vote in U.N. Against U.S.

President Carter personally called Secretary of State Rice to try to convince her to reverse her U.N. ambassador’s position on changes to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, the former president recalled yesterday in a talk in which he also criticized President Bush’s Christian bona fides and misstated past American policies on Israel.

--New York Sun--

Carter's working to subvert U.S. diplomacy is nothing new; but his apparent belief that he can speak on behalf of the country while doing so is rather stunning.

It must drive him crazy to know that John Tyler was a member of the Confederate Congress when he died in 1862; that makes it hard for Carter to surpass Tyler as the most anti-American ex-president in history. But we doubt he'll ever stop trying. - James Taranto, OpinionJournal.com

Linda,

I doubt it would be possible to revoke Carter's citizenship, but here's another thought: Impeach the traitor.

Here's what the Constitution says about impeachment:

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

As a former president, Carter certainly holds a position of "trust and honor", which includes Secret Service protection for life. He's been going around the world telling foreign leaders that as a former president, he can speak for the U.S. government. This needs to be stopped, and if impeaching him is the only way to do it, why not?

Author: Linda Cebrian

Carter is a traitor, plain and simple.

His citizenship should be revoked.

Catholic church teaching does not say the Death Penalty is wrong. That a spin put out by the liberal establishment. Here the facts.A pastoral voice — non-binding

Regarding capital punishment: While the pope demands that "capital punishment be applied in a very limited way, or even that it be abolished completely" (Evangelium Vitae, Section 56), he does not use the language of tradition or the language of prohibition. On this matter he is using his pastoral voice and making a prudential judgment. Since the Church has always recognized the right of the state to protect itself from criminals through the use of capital punishment, it is not inconsistent for a Catholic politician to uphold its efficacy for retributive justice and the good order of society. Therefore, there can be no equivalence between a pro-choice and a pro-death penalty politician. One is strictly illicit, while the other one is licit within the tradition.

Security Experts Counter Dem Attacks on Port Deal

An additional 45-day government review of the controversial bid by a Dubai-owned company to operate some terminals at six U.S. ports will do nothing to change the minds of congressional Democrats like U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader.

Good question, Leo.

From what I've heard, no American company bid on the deal.

The question should be,"why can't an American companies do it?" I guess it just like Long Beach and the Chinese. Has America lost it's self reliance? Must be, we have illegals doing job Americans don't want so we are told!

Condi Rice is Pro-choice. She won't even get the support of the Republican National Coalition for Life. Another RINO. Many Republicans are for Choice like Ruddy and Pataki, etc.

I want to know much much more than I do about Senator Allen's stance on LIFE, Marriage, and Embryonic Stem Cell Research, and any of the Social issues.

Am more interested in Secretary Rice coming around to our way of thinking. She would be good against Hillery, as would Rudy G. but can no way support him and unless she changes her mind I do not know about Secty. Rice. Most certainly some one that is all that I have mentioned and yet would wipe the floor with Hillery. Most men would be too gentlemanly to win over her.

BK,

Catholic church teaching does not say the Death Penalty is wrong. That a spin put out by the liberal establishment. Here the facts.A pastoral voice — non-binding

Regarding capital punishment: While the pope demands that "capital punishment be applied in a very limited way, or even that it be abolished completely" (Evangelium Vitae, Section 56), he does not use the language of tradition or the language of prohibition. On this matter he is using his pastoral voice and making a prudential judgment. Since the Church has always recognized the right of the state to protect itself from criminals through the use of capital punishment, it is not inconsistent for a Catholic politician to uphold its efficacy for retributive justice and the good order of society. Therefore, there can be no equivalence between a pro-choice and a pro-death penalty politician. One is strictly illicit, while the other one is licit within the tradition. However, the pope's teaching on the death penalty

What I meant was if there were no life threatening defects. I should have worded that differently. As long as that child will be able to have a quality of life, let it live.

If there's "nothing wrong with it"?

I worked for 6 years for an adoption agency in Queens; we had waiting lists for Down, spina bifida, and many other "wrong" babies. The demand for Down babies was one we couldn't fill; most of their kind are killed before birth.

I personally supervised 4 Down babies; one case was of a black woman who adopted 2; both died of heart failure in their first years. She also had a healthy Down boy who was doing very well, thank you, in grammar school.

We have to be very careful not to project our distain for the "less than perfect" onto others, who value them, and who value kids of all kinds.

I know there are couples out there every day wishing they could have a baby. Unless there is something seriously wrong with that baby, why not adopt it out? I could not live with myself to think that I had murdered another human life. It's not my place to decide who should live or die. That is up to the man upstairs.

Dear Anonymous:

Let's meet! I will give you $500 if you can best me in a debate over abortion.

I'll give you 5 bucks to just peer around the bush you're hiding behind, and tell us your name.

After all, you must be so PROUD of your opinions, not to mention your grammar and spelling!
