Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
So says strange-lookin’-woman-with-hyphenated-last-name. If the abortions that took place in ’05 represent the women who wanted them and also were able to afford to have them, then that number is too low.
If the 1.21 million abortions that took place in 2005 (http://www.guttmacher.org/…) represent the number of women who needed abortions (and in my opinion, if a woman decides she needs an abortion, then she does), as well as the many women who chose to terminate pregnancies that they very much wanted but could not afford to carry to term, then that number is too high. The work of reducing the number of abortions, therefore, would entail creating an authentically family-friendly society, where women would have the support they need to raise their families, whatever forms they took. That could include eliminating the family caps in TANF, encouraging unionization of low-wage workers, reforming immigration policies and making vocational and higher education more accessible.
On the other hand, if those 1.21 million abortions represent only the women who could access abortion financially, geographically or otherwise, then that number is too low. Yes, too low. If that’s the case, then what is an appropriate response? How do we best support women and their reproductive health? Do we dare admit that increasing the number of abortions might be not only good for women’s health, but also moral and just?
So if your mother would’ve aborted you if only she could’ve afforded it, but she couldn’t afford it, then you’re not supposed to be here. You are a walking moral aberration. Unless I’m somehow distorting her meaning?
Hat tip to Vital Signs, by way of blogger friend Rick.

What disgusting people.
Leftist thought brings with it some serious dehumanizing element where they can talk about killing babies as a rancher would about culling his herd of cows. A thoroughly evil ideology. Would that the American people shed their apathy and make an effort to understand these things, then maybe, maybe we wouldn’t have the debacles that were 2006 and 2008.

You spend a lifetime being immersed up to your eyeballs in that crap, then others act surprised when you’re manipulated by a celebrity-looking president?
- cylarz | 05/03/2010 @ 00:2230 to 40% of all abortions are performed on black women. Does she mean that more black fetuses should be aborted?
I suspect that overall the great majority of abortions are performed on Democrat-voting women. Should all future Democrat-voting fetuses be aborted?
Someday there will only be Catholics and Muslims.
There is a Darwin Prize waiting for this woman.
