I don't see "inconvenient" in there. Or "most convenient means of birth control."

Saying an abortion is the most convenient way of birth control is the same take that so many people choose to be homeless. It doesn't add up. Given a "choice" other means of birth control would be chosen. No question. But that starts with education.

And while you're at it, why do right to lifers not provide a viable solution for the newborns? If Andy's stats are right, we'd have 3,700 more babies born every day in the U.S. alone. Where do they go? How do they get educated? Fed? Clothed? Loved?

I believe the fetus is part of her body and a man or anyone else for that matter doesn't have the right to tell her what to do with it. Would you appreciate a group of women insisting that you give up your foreskin? I don't think so.

The reason why this is a gender issue is because it has historically been white men that have made the legal decisions regarding a woman's body. I am not one of them and I choose to not be associated with them. If a woman wants a man's opinion about their body, they'll surely ask, but who are we to mandate anything they do with their own body.

Complex opinion, eloquently expressed. But being that I'm a male, I'm going let my opinion stop there.

This is when being 100% against the death penalty helps answer the question. It also doesn't give him "what he wants".

It would be more interesting of a sport if big people were racing with little people on their backs whippin' their ass.

I brought the guys some souvenirs back from SXSW! I was wondering if anyone would catch that. Good eye!

Some people, myself included, don't need to know the people personally who die to be affected and care about them and mourn their death. And knowing specific numbers doesn't reflect the amount of sympathy one can feel either.

Giving the prisoner that they are about to kill an extraordinary meal makes the state feel and look as if they are killing with mercy. It's the same motivation that many people have when giving the homeless their pocket change. They're not really helping, but it makes them feel good. It appears that they are doing for others when in fact, they are doing it to relieve their own feelings of guilt. The prisoner may get a brief moment of satisfaction from the meal, but in the end, it's meaningless. The homeless person may be able to get a cup of coffee, but is still confronted with finding a place to sleep.

I remember when I lived in Florida and back in the day when "old sparky" (I swear that was the electric chair's nickname) was going to be put into use, the news would mention it (barely), but the public wasn't concerned at all. If you're weren't paying attention, you'd never know the prisoners name nor the crime that got him into the chair.

It's a clever self-preservation device of the state's advocacy and use of the death penalty. If the media would cover the crime, the prisoner and the execution closer, inevitably the public would care more. And I would guess they'd begin to object to such a primitive punishment being meted out by a "civilized" society.

our government spends their time and money trying to frame potential "terrorist" in hopes of making a conviction. if they succeed, they can brag about keeping the country safe. the fact that they can't get a conviction of "terrorist" they framed, make me feel anything but safe.

That's our newest editor, Nick. Sadly, he didn't make the cut so we included him by making him the thumbnail.

Watch the previous show where LC does talk to other people there. It was a little difficult for her to interview in jail. She had to smuggle the camera in and have it quickly confiscated. I can't think of any other source letting the people know what it's like to go through the arrest process. Not really sure what would make you happy.

And what exactly are you doing to make a difference, Super Lame? Albeit, organized and a bit contrived, at least she went through the motions to make her point.

The reporter suggested that he was there to further his own political agenda, therefore risking distancing people from the issue.
