Surely you know this is ridiculous, but in the spirit of bi-partisanship we can pretend Waco was a battle of two sovereign entities, but even if Waco was a battle, the death toll was only about 25% of the Wounded Knee battle, which is only 1/163rd of the death toll of the bloodiest battle on US soil. What is your point?

That neither Waco nor Wounded Knee were battles. They were both massacres.

Looking at the definition of "massacre" at dictionary.com, in the spirit of bi-partisanship, I can agree.

Waco was a "massacre" as defined as:

"the unnecessary, indiscriminate killing of a large number of human beings or animals, as in barbarous warfare or persecution or for revenge or plunder."

Wounded Knee was a "massacre" as defined as:

"a crushing defeat."

Exactly.

This might be the oddest discussion ever to have taken place on this board.

This board is populated by educated urban dwelling legal professionals who have spent today posting nonsense about John Edwards’ hair and Wounded Knee and Waco, none of which are relevant to anything and yet SCOTUS puts down a devastating decision today that can and will in fact detrimentally alter the rights of women to choose and almost nothing is said. I just don't get it sometimes, but the passiveness of our populace explains how a chimp like Bush could rise to power.

In my evil heart and dark soul, I hope that the Cheney family and the Bush family both have to experience the pain of this decision personally. But I know this will never happen because if their wives or daughters or granddaughters did want abortions, they could go to another country. Few laws actually affect the very wealthy. The laws of Bush and his cronies at SCOTUS are to keep the poor and minorities in their oppressed place.

Only 642 days left.

Think of all the lives that will be saved.

If you serious then you are insane. If you joking you are inhuman.

Lives will not be saved. Lives will be lost. My sister-in-law would have died if she carried her fetus to term. She wanted to complete the pregnancy, but was left with an almost certain death sentence if she didn't have a late term abortion. She chose life and rightly so. A year later she had a beautiful child. There are many more who would have been and now may be sentenced to such deaths. The thought of these moralistic prigs denying women the right to choose life infuriates me.

This is not okay. This will never be okay. This is why I cried in 2000 and 2004 when Bush was elected and again at the confirmation of each of Alito and Roberts. This is why elections are important people. Get over Edwards' hair and look at the fvckin issues before we lose all of our rights!!!

I'm a reptilian humanoid. Anyway, I was mocking Senator Brownback, whom 2 posters here support.

• Republican Sam Brownback, a presidential hopeful favored by abortion foes, said the ruling would result "in lives being saved." He also voted for the ban in 2003.

I disagree with the decision, but I do believe the law allows an exception to the ban where necessary to protect the life of the pregnant woman. I'd just hate to see doctors prosecuted by an overzealous, politicized prosecutor over whether the pregnant woman's life was actually jeopardized.

Welcome newber!

I know you couldn't be aware of this, but almost all of us have Icantread on ignore because of similar feelings he has raised in us in the past. When you quote his posts you force us all to read his hate-drivel.

As I'm sure you are quickly learning, Hank likes to drink, and his reading comprehension slips and his writing becomes incomprehensible. He probably just didn't realize you were talking about my post.

Dissent. I believe he* was disgusted by both of you, and rightly so.
