Today marks the 34th anniversary of the US Supreme Court handing down its decision in the now famous Roe v Wade case. In the years since pro-choice and pro-life groups around America have, literally, been slugging it out as each puts forward their position.
Today, as in all past years, large numbers of vocal pro-choice and pro-life groups will be out, demonstrating, at the steps of the US Supreme Court in Washington.
It was reported on NRP Radio this morning that George Bush will address the pro-life group. What a paradox!- and how offensive. Here is the "chief-architect" of the Iraq War speaking to pro-lifers when his very actions have resulted in over 3000 Americans lives being lost in Iraq and thousands more being injured, physically and mentally - and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis being killed and maimed.
Meanwhile, NRP also reports that a humanitarian crisis has developed for the Iraqis who have fled Iraq - some 1 million to Jordan, more than 1 million to Syria and approximately 150,000 to Egypt. Over at the the BBC Radio's Newhour program it is reported, today, that whilst Britain was one of the main-players in the Coalition of the Willing, resulting in the war which has led to many Iraqis fleeing their country, in 2005 it only granted permanent residency to 5 Iraqis.

MOST of the people who try to prevent women with problem pregnancies from solving the problem, are also in favour of criminals executions and wars of any kind.
Most people who believe in the autonomy of a pregnant woman, also abhor:
wars and hangings,
and strip-mining,
and forest clearings,
and cruelty to animals.
Fascinating. Whatever can it mean about the human brain?
