just one tool to do that.

As I have said, I predict that the next legislative wave of effort, after they have made abortions scarce, will revolve around making the legal requirements to run a child-care facility prohibitive so that child-care becomes scarce and expensive.

the issue of women deciding what to do with their own bodies.

It would be different if he said abortion is not AN issue, he said abortion is not THE issue.

I sure like Howard Dean
I never felt so down in my life when the media destroyed his chances for the Presidency.
Those who control our media were scared to death of him, you can bet on that

I think a lot of Democrats were scared of him and his "radical" ideas.

It's too bad because he has done a lot for us.

He always had the ability to go to the heart of an issue in a few short sentences.

He's absolutely right here. The issue is control.

You'll be hearing of some of them because we'll be electing them to go to D.C.
