not to be rude, but had you been following any of his plans on the critical issues youd wouldnt need to ask that question, as he and the republican party (who honestly make romney a puppet, turning him from his more moderate stance years ago to the ideologies the republican party shares today) have said numerous times that they want to make any abortion illegal and cut any and all funding to planned parenthood and many organizations that promote contraception in people who dont want and cant care for children, especially teens.

So if in your mind he's a (lefty) political shill, then that makes you a righty political shill

Let him post those ''opinions''. It's his right to do so.
And one more thing, why don't you post some republican opinions if you think Vendor is biased, to even out the playing field

No I do not, I just think he is has a problem differentiating between news and propaganda. Partisan opinion is not news.

I post my opinions all the time. I just don't pretend that they are "news". He claims to be a "SubSim Newsman", I do not. See the difference?

The title Subsim Newsman, as Neal handed out for a "decent" time to go back, is a good title, since it refers to news updates, and by chance it will with the political moves, as well as it is about space or another in our everyday life, and with it, I would say that my posts are not intended to profess political color if there is one around here, which I think is, for example, leftists ..... our comitte built on independence.

See my preceding post. You can't truthfully claim to be a newsman if you post propaganda Gerald.

Opinion is just that, opinion. It is not news.

Republicans complain about people on welfare having more welfare babies (actually we really all do) ....

....and then remove access to contraception




but to me the moral standpoint of: I don't agree with it, so why do i need to pay for it?

well in that case can I not pay any of the debt for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?

So don't be rude. Understand abortion is not a critical issue for me. Roe v Wade discussions and what any president or would be president has been used fordecades as a tool. In the sense that a candidate will spew out abolishing to energize his base to obtain support and nomination. Others use this piece of legislation to energize opposition to turn support away from a candidate. There is really nothing different here from decades past with the same questions, answers, themes and ideology. What a great time to throw out a article like this when the women's votes(polls) appear to be swinging Willard's way. See this article for what it is. Read what Take posted. Some issues are paramount to some where others are not. Abortion, getting rubbers to kids and making sure women have day after pills is not in the forefront of my concerns.

Smoke and mirrors. In the political game ears need to be tickled. Promises need to be made. It's nothing new. And it won't happen. Social policies, abortion, same sex marriage, etc., never go backwards. People just wouldn't stand for it. That's progress I guess.
