Gack! What convoluted logic! A two parent (Father and Mother) is better. True. So to achieve that, we advocate killing any baby who is not fortunate enough to be born into the ideal family?! In the words of the immortal Moe, "What a maroon!".

“it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct.” - Justice Antonin Scalia

Ken, I can't really add anything to this, you summed it up beautifully in your last paragraph.

That is exactly what bothers people like Weisberg and others like him.

"America isn't the problem...America is the solution." ~ Rush Limbaugh

 ... as does your observation that Weisberg's fear stems from "a Republican whose pro-life values come not from calculated political expediency but a heart-felt belief in God."

To a liberal, principled beliefs are the last refuge of scoundrels.

Their cheese has slipped off their crackers. Their hatred of conservatives has sent them on a one way trip to Meshugehville.

Yeah, I saw this on Slate, and frankly it gave me shivers. Weisberg is the same guy who, a couple of weeks ago, claimed that the only possible explanation for Obama losing is racism. The guy is out there.

The arguments are chilling examples of circular illogic. It assumes what he's trying to prove. He favors abortion on the "family values" grounds that only marriages between partners above the age of 25 have a statistically acceptable chance of lasting. Therefore, we're looking for two qualities: being over 25, and being married. To any mother not married or not 25, Weisberg believes it's best to abort the baby. 

But like so many other abortion arguments, the exact same logic applies to six-month olds. All arguments in favor of abortion apply equally to six-month old babies.

• Yes, it would be better (for the girl) if unmarried young girls didn't have six-month old babies to "punish" them or "enslave" them into servitude. Does that alone give the young mother the right to kill the six-month old baby?
• You can hear the pro-abortionists shout: Of course not! You can't kill a six-month old baby! But ... if that's true ... what makes killing a six-month old fetus any different?
• Their answer is inevitably that a six-month old fetus is morally different than a six-month old baby.

OK, maybe so, but then the morality of abortion has absolutely nothing to do with whether the mother is married and over 25. For all your ideas of "beneficial effects," you still haven't come close to justifying abortion.

(Amost every pro-abortion argument can be made about six-month old infants. It's kind of an easy test. The only legitimate pro-abortion arguments have to explain how a fetus is morally different than an infant. If the argument dwells instead on any other question, it's automatically invalid.)

In what way is it counter to the conservative belief structure for a MARRIED woman with five children to be pro-life, believe in the sanctity of marriage and LIVE the belief that a two-parent home is best for children?  I would say she REPRESENTS that belief structure.  You know, being pro-life does not mean one encourages single women to have babies.  It means one encourages single women NOT to have sex - and if a single woman SHOULD become pregnant, to consider MARRYING the father or putting the baby up for adoption.  

Dan Quayle criticized the TV character of Murphy Brown as a single woman having a baby with absolutely NO interest in marrying the father - and having it touted as admirable.  That is also not a contradiction of conservative beliefs.

You know, even Sarah Palin's child-care arrangements are not a contradiction to conservative beliefs.  As I have read, her husband chooses to work 3rd shift so he can be home with the children during the day and she is with them at night.  There are perhaps millions of Americans who do the same thing so they can have careers and also raise their families.  It appears that as Vice President, her husband will most likely be at home with the children (and a LOT of domestic help, which is given to ALL Vice Presidents).  How is any of this a contradiction??? 

I don't believe I've ever seen the liberals so freightened.  It is amazing to watch. Bringing Gov. Palin on board was just brilliant. The liberals are hanging themselves. Conservatives don't have to do a thing but stand back and watch. Simply brilliant.

Speaking of abortion, can anyone tell me precisely what McCain's stand on abortion is, please? I've looked for it...just came from his website and there is nothing specific. I would like to hear or read a flat statement from him that says, essentially, "I am against abortion and will do everything in my power as president to end abortion in all its forms." Or words to that effect. Just saying, "Abortion is one of our problems in this country..." is not enough for me since I don't trust him anyway.

If I could read or hear him state his absolute opposition to abortion, I might, MIGHT, vote for him, but only because of Palin.

Can anybody help me?

"By vaunting their pro-life agenda over everything else, conservatives are abandoning one of their most valuable insights, that intact, two-parent families are best for children and the foundation of a healthy society."

Yeah, that makes sense....if you're a simple minded fool....or a liberal(as if there's a difference).

Folks, that morons like this can get decent jobs is proof positive that the American Dream is alive and well, because if they can do it, anyone can.

Assassinating unborn human beings may well be a core value of media leftists, but not to the rest of us.

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?

Gov. Palin has terrified the left-wing extremists and has them running scared. I suggest a new dress code for them - kilts and tennis shoes so they can s--- and run at the same time.
