Who is "they?" And if it is nothing, why did all the protesters show up? They thought it was something. Are they controlled by the "they?"
They are getting all of "y'all" worked up about NOTHING. Yeah, I said it, NOTHING.
Those are all terrible, and I think Congress, and Special Prosecutors should go after the administration for these and more. I agree with you.
Spying, murdering of journalists, NDAA part 2 et al
Who are the freaks? I thought the case was over and no one was spending time on it anymore, except for some discussion.
This is what they do, they did in California last week with the SC decisions to remand the gay marriage bill back the the lower court. Then all the freaks are spending all their time and efforts on that.....

What are these entitlements you speak of?? Are they the corporate pigs at the trough??

I don't know. We've got the DPS saying the stuff was there and they didn't keep it. I don't know what they gain from making it up. The protesters were allowed in after all. And the DPS gets nothing but attacks for it's efforts.
Charles,
Do you deny that this was a lie, put forth in order to slander the pro-choice female protesters?
By saying that's what "prompted" it, they're saying that when they saw one woman come in with that stuff, they put up an alert for officers to check for it in case there was more. It's pretty much always one event that "prompts" something.
So, only one women with loads of feminine hygiene products prompted the ban, not jars of fecal matter and urine.
So, unlike GrantedBail, you think it's a big deal. I'm sure you'll be able to resolve that little disagreement.
This bill is a big deal, but I'm certain that the courts will shoot it down. It's unconstitutional on so many levels.
I agree with you that we're being distracted, especially away from important federal issues. Add to your list Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS, the decision not to enforce laws, or create new ones that haven't seen the inside of Congress. Oh, I quite agree.
And the flame is fanned by the media. "Oh noes there were bags of feces and tampons". Do you realize that they are laughing at those that buy that story.
Assume for a minute that the jars of paint and everything else are just imaginary. We do know they were planning on throwing something. If nothing else, the orange paper and the tampons beyond those necessary for personal use. But really, I don't care much if they threw those things. They throw them, the police arrest them or escort them from the grounds, problem solved.
I do have trouble that this was a scheme to make the protesters look bad. They were doing a pretty good job of it themselves. Preventing the people's representatives from doing their work (getting labelled as "sore losers" in the process), and chanting "Hail, Satan," pretty well finished them off as far as reputation goes.
On the other other hand, the protesters say they brought some stuff to throw, but it was all harmless stuff. I know what the protesters gain from denying the jars.
If the courts are going to shoot it down, you don't have to worry, let's go on to something else. As far as being unconstitutional, the posters and the law seem to agree the 20 week restriction is constitutional. Perhaps requiring doctors to have admitting priveleges is what you're referring to? Any way, it will be heard by the courts, and I'll be delighted to talk with you about it then. The Supreme Court may get to it next year, unless they see it as an emergency.
The pregnancy-associated mortality rate among women who delivered live neonates was 8.8 deaths per 100,000 live births. The mortality rate related to induced abortion was 0.6 deaths per 100,000 abortions.

There's nothing arbitrary about the pro-life crowd. Life begins at conception for them, and those methods of birth control that most women are using are NOT pro-life methods, as they end a pregnancy under the pro-life definition of "pregnancy."
You can't have it both ways. If life begins at conception, contraception has a tendency to end life.
Since 98% of sexually active women, of child bearing age, are using said birth control methods, your arbitrary claim that millions of women are pro-life, is false.
As far as the 20 week ban, that's not what this bill is about. It's about ignoring the medical community and the American Medical Association's definition of pregnancy, at fertilization, and redefining it to conception. Not a medical consensus.
Again, that's not accurate. The ultra-religious view it that way, most people consider it to be a viable pregnancy only when the fertilized egg attaches to the uteral wall.

Uh, No. The pro-life consensus is, and we hear this chanted all the time, "Life begins at conception"! And that's what this Texas bill states. "Life begins at fertilization."
You can't have it both ways, NuT.
