Republicans said the darnest things. I know a good question to ask one of those guys. Just walk up to them and say, "Give me one name of a person who's been aborted. C'mon, give me a name."
That'll stump 'em.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
Wasn't that the idea? That as human society progressed, we wouldn't be held back by archaic laws based on archaic thinking? The founding fathers seem to have had a lot more faith in us than we often have for ourselves.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
I can't stand when people say 'the founding fathers said......" or "the founding fathers believed...." The founding fathers were a diverse group of people who believed in multiple and conflicting ideas. Some had slaves, some were abolitionists, some were democrats and some were even theocratic (Look up the beliefs of Patrick Henry!) They were had all kinds of beliefs. Some of them probably were 'Sodomites.'

That does not augur well for their good intentions.
Ah. The good ol' days. When it was plainly evident who was available for discrimination.
