How is Obama not pro-choice, Tep? (Asking, because I half convinced someone to vote for him on the basis of what I perceived to be his pro-choice stance.)

How is Obama not pro-choice, Tep?

Everything I've read about him, he is *personally* not pro-choice. He's never used inflammatory rhetoric that some anti-choice people use, but he's really not pro-choice.

I'll have to see if I can dig up some of those articles/speeches. I'm sorry I don't have citations to hand. (I mean that for real, not sarcastically.)

But I'm serious when I say that I think that, at the very least, as a Constitutional scholar, he'll uphold Roe. He just doesn't have to be in favor of it.

smonster, the urge to block this guy on FB isn't overwhelming yet?

He's not my friend. This particular argument is on another friend's wall.

No, no, MY wall is currently playing host to "I get to decide what you do with your hard-earned money, you food-stamp-(ab)using lazy slob, you." With a side of drunk driving, I still don't know where that came from. I think they've been cowed into submission, if not shown the error of their privileged middle-class white boy ways, but rugby weekend could be interesting next year!

I think an AR-15 is really a better choice.

I wouldn't know an AR-15 from an AK-47 if it blew a hole in my chest.

I still don't know where that came from.

Vikings. Duh.

Fucking drunk sailing Vikings.

Those freakin' Vikings. Corb always warned us.

I wish I could find the quote from Sports Night when Jeremy is trying to decide what charity to give money to, and Isaac says that he gives $20 bills to guys lying in the street, and hopes they spend it on booze.

If fucking Isaac Jaffe says it, it's true.

Dan:  Who do you give your money to now?
Isaac: I give it here and there.  There are plenty of good causes.
Dan:  That's the problem.
Isaac: Hmmm.  Danny, every morning I leave an acre and a half of the most beautiful property in New Canaan.  I get on a train and come to work in a 54-story glass highrise.  In between, I step across bodies to get here. (sits behind desk) Twenty, thirty, fifty of 'em a day.  So, as I'm stepping over them, I reach into my pocket and give 'em whatever I've got.
Dan:  You're not afraid they're gonna spend it on booze?
Isaac:  I'm hoping they're gonna spend it on booze.  Look, Danny, these people, most of them, it's not like they're one hot meal from turning it around. For most of them, the clock's pretty much run out.  They'll be home soon enough.  What's wrong with giving 'em a little Novocain to get 'em through the night?

Exactly. And I know that's not exactly the conversation going on in smonster's FB, but still.

FWIW, there are already three or four gay bars in that neighborhood. I doubt very much that the Cordoba Group would be surprised by this fact.
