So I had a little free time at work and discovered your blog. I’m having a little trouble understanding why this is such a hot topic?

I am also unclear why it is “poor judgement” for a woman to have a right to choose. As far as I am concerned, a bunch of conservative men are attempting to make decisions for women, which is insulting.

There is not enough time to explore this issue properly in a comment post.

If this is being approached from a Christian angle, as Christians, we have free agency, and that is the belief that humans can determine what is right and wrong and act accordingly.

I would also like to point out that our society does not offer enough support and resources to aid women/families encountering adverse circumstances in family planning.

It is safe to say that not everyone believes in the same thing nor has the same convictions, which is why America is great.

I will go ahead and call out the elephant in the room: I am a liberal. I have studied gender politics in depth in academic settings (this is part of my past and proposed research). The point of an abortion is to terminate a pregnancy, which is why I am not commenting on the legislation you mention above because I think it is just a microcosm of a larger issue.

Your family is about to be blessed, but for some, it is not always a blessing or joyous occasion. It is not just what perhaps you consider irresponsible behavior or callous decision-making, but often something else that makes it a terrible choice: rape, incest, illness, economic hardship, etc. The last thing a woman in this position needs is someone dictating what is right and wrong.

Isn’t it Christ that teaches us tolerance, patience and compassion?

All in all it’s still awesome though.

killer review! i’m looking at throwing down some lettuce for this exact combo. however, i’m curious — have you had any problems with the particular setup? do you still like the owc external enclosure?

any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

cheers,

what a wonderul realization. saving these precious individuals should be a #1 priority, it’s sad that many people do not think so

i plan to make sure he holds good on his promise to balance budget line by line with scalpel… that will take him 4 years so he won’t have time to pass the FOCA to continue massacring innocent human life or socializing the health care system so it’s unaffordable and crappy for all… like in canada and great europe…

no to mention… all americans now that the responsibility to ensure ethics and integrity are restored to government by revoking all government funding to folks like ACORN…

when you win elections by denigrating heroes and playing Machiavelli with a gentleman… history will not be kind to you.

if only MLK was still alive… he’d have made a great first black president… this guy, however, is going to make us regret ever electing him if he’s serious about the things he says outside of stump speeches.

i can’t wait to slave away the rest of my life to pay for everyone else and not getting a thing in return. if he takes it too far, the public will be outraged.

they’re going to be anyway once all his worshippers realize that he can’t pay for their gas or their mortgage… it’s a shame the intelligent and ignorant alike were duped… are there no mere mortals left that can reason well?

now reigns the age of lawlessness and zero consequences unless you speak dissent…

and as joe biden said… it won’t be six months before this guy is tested… and we’ll think he’s making the wrong decisions…

God help us once we realize what we’ve done.

The country needs to put aside the creed of altruism if it is to succeed.

Many immigrants (such as my parents) came to this country precisely to be able to work hard, prosper, and give their children a chance for a better life. They came to this country with little more than the clothes on their back, but did well over the years, sent two children to college and medical school, and are now enjoying a well-earned and comfortable retirement. Their lives have been a real-life embodiment of the American dream.

If we want America to remain a beacon of hope to millions around the world, we should re-affirm our commitment to free markets and capitalism, and reject calls for more socialism and “redistribution of wealth”.

This country is great precisely because it allows people like my parents to attain selfish goals such as their lives and happiness. Americans should be proud of that fact, not condemn it.
