Liberals have no issue "dictating" when the policies are in their favor. Why should they care about a woman's rights?

Try real hard, maybe some day you'll understand the difference between 'life' and 'human being'.

As in: Algae is 'life', an amoeba is 'life', a paramecium is 'life', they ARE NOT human beings.

Why should conservatives cry for government to ban abortion when one of their prime claims is a desire for less government interference?

The truth is they're hypocrites.

He supports killing a baby after it is born (partial birth abortion) just because the mother decides that a baby is too much of a burden to her lifestyle. Abortion is an unnatural, and selfish act. More selfish than anything else in the world.

Some people have decided that getting arrested would be worth making a point, and I congratulate them. They are doing what is right. I would do the same if he was at my school.

So thanks to all of you who interrupted a man who supports the murder of millions of babies. You are true heroes. Just as Rosa Parks refused to move, it is time that we refuse to move. We also have morals on our side as did Dr. King and Ms. Parks. We will win, and we will not be silenced, because we must speak for those who never will be able to.

Were they the same people who protested against the war in Iraq?

Its not so much banning abortion as it is stopping the killing of innocent life.

OK, consider your word marked. I've just marked my calendar to return to this post in June 2010. We can then compare the donations made Jan-April 2009 vs. the donations made Jan-April 2010. Somehow I don't think we'll see a big "Obama Speech Effect" on the totals.

Of course it's way over your head to understand that life begins with a single cell. Only a liberal could revise biology to fit their agenda. Very sad indeed.

I tend to think the scientists at Princeton and abroad know quite a bit more about it than you. But as an pro-abortion liberal, its no surprise that these facts are lost on you.

The protesters were kept a distance from the Joyce Center. The graduates who boycotted the ceremony held a prayer service at the Grotto, out of respect for the university.
If you watched the audience, you would have seen many who did not applaud unless Obama was speaking about the accomplishments or the future of the graduates, including several individuals seated directly behind him. The students not wearing their caps (mortarboards) during the speech did so as a silent protest.
If Obama was not such a egotist, he could have easily declined the offer to speak and be awarded an honorary degree, or simply withdrawn his commitment when he learned that his attendance was causing the university to be in the center of a swirl of controversy.

Where do liberals dictate policy based on ideology. Name them and the law changes? Conservatives have no problem trying to dictate abortion and gay marriage, accepting torture, illegal wiretapping and invading sovereign nations while claiming they believe in the constitution and want government out of their business.
