No, there isn't. Because this is the first instance in which the issue has hinged on fungibility.
That's a good point, maybe the fight is simply unavoidable.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
But Sophia, the "purity test" only mentions public funding of abortion, not its overall legality.
What I really want to know is if you get purity points for actually making abortion illegal, or does just fantasizing about it count?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The non-hypocritical stance would be "make abortion illegal." Which I also violently disagree with, but at least it would be honest.
Absolutely.

Yes, I agree completely on both counts.

As I happen to be loving on this blog post right now, I thought I'd share since Natter turned toward the topic. Synergy!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The single IM service I am allowed to use is not working today. Bah.

That's what I get for just skimming the darn thing. Also, I cannot believe that a "purity test" featuring almost biblical-like language with Ronald Reagan and Jesus is not a joke.
Also, I think liberals are just as unhappy with some liberal politicians moving away from what I think are liberal core values (equality for all in both a practical and legal sense, peace, saving the environment and protecting workers) as the conservatives are with the conservative party. We have a very liberal radio show host in Rochester who tries not to get into politics on air, but when he does he is really, really good at making an argument and pointing out the fallacies in others' arguments. He is about to be livid at Obama for sending more troops in to Afghanistan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had to see if the Kirk/Uhura kiss was included. (It is.)

I can't figure out what we should do in Afghanistan, so it's hard for me to be real critical of policy there. It feels like every choice sucks.
One of many reasons I'm glad not to be President.
