On the article Is Media Absence in 'House of Horrors' Abortion Clinic Trial an Indication of Bias?

ReplyBlah blah blah...same argument, different date. The advocates still think the anti crowd is a bunch of morons; the pro crowd still thinks the pro crowd is indifferent to the child's plight. Nobody is gonna budge. However, There are a few new points to be made here.
One, the question asked: Is the media trying to guide the national conversation towards a more abortion friendly tone? When Tod Akin infamously made his idiot remarks about rape and pregnancy, the media jumped all over it. When the dicussion involves legal "women's clinics" being cast in a poor light, there is a huge difference in coverage. There's this disgusting situation in Philly, but most of the coverage is about the lack of coverage.
Then there's the examples you don't hear about. The darling of the abortion advocates, Planned Parenthood, has had a clinic shut down in Delaware over complaints from several of it's own nurses...

And then there's this...Planned Parenthood's indifference to children who are accidently born live in a botched abortion...Baby born, crying on the table...you'd think that would be obvious that that is a person with a right to live...but according to Planned Pregger's, it's still "up to the family and doctors" if the child lives or dies...
Where's the media coverage on that?

I disagree, completely. Why punish achievement?
Let's make an exemption for retired, fixed income earners, so as not to double tax them. A few generations from now that won't be an issue any more.
Everybody buys stuff. there's no way to cheat your way out of a consumption tax. Most of the proposals I've heard already put an exemption on the most common goods, such as bread and milk. In Georgia we could call that the milk sandwich exemption and we'd not be taxed to death everytime Glenn Burns says the "s" word

ReplyProvided there are provisions in place to prevent unintended consequenses on folks like Mr. Harris (who brings up a valid point), I think the consumption tax is a great idea.

Yeah, it's plastered all over the national news alright...
One...ONE local channel covered it. Meanwhile, let some moron say something stupid about rape and pregancy and it's everywhere. Not saying it shouldn't be, but is the coverage equal? Not so much...
