[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Omega, Let me spell this out for you: It is not for me an individual (or you, an individual), to decide for a woman what is (or is not) a *private* matter involving ... well, herself. She'll have to live with her actions for the rest of her life ... and frankly, perhaps she'll choose to have the baby. We can give her the info on aborting and keeping the child, but in the end, there can be only one ... An attempt at humor =) In the end, the choice is hers alone. Now, myself, I feel that a woman should have the option of an abortion for the first three months, then she wouldn't be able to (this is an extra 6 weeks atop of what you want). I can't make the argument that a child doesn't have a right to exist. Why not? Well, it doesn't involve me, and I've no right (unlike Republicans) to go around telling people how to live their lives. And Omega, I find it amusing that you accuse me of "spooing" from liberals. I've never heard you say anything but the Republican party line ... chapter and verse. You defend the death penalty, but decry abortion. I decry the death penalty, and my moral stand on abortion is a private one, while I respect the woman's right to privacy. Regarding Mumia Abu Jamal: I haven't followed the case, and I've made no assertions of his innocence. "Cases where a person has been executed despite evidence of innocence (weight of the evidence is subject to dispute} " Joseph O'Dell (I mean, come on, the sperm in the victim's body wasn't even HIS! Also, no evidence matched his personal effects, and *someone else confessed*! The FBI themselves addmitted the testing was flawed. Leonel Herrera - "presented affidavits and positive polygraph results from a variety of witnesses, including an eyewitness to the murder and a former Texas state judge, both of whom stated that someone else committed the crime. The supreme court ruled that innocence alone does not justify a federal hearing on this evidence now was federal habeas relief available for *mere* innocence." Barry Fairchild - Sentenced to death for kidnap, rape, and shooting murder of Marjorie Mason. Conviction based on videotaped "confession" ... blood, hair, semen didn't link to Fairchild. 13 other black men questioned by Pulaski County police were subjected to extreme physical and mental torture. Michael Johnson states "he heard Fairchild's screams and noises similar to beating using a baseball bat." In another category, Jess Jacobs was *convicted* and *sentenced* to death ... then the state convicted another man for the same crime ... and *left him on death row!* [/QB][/QUOTE]
