I love seeing Godwin's law in effect. Michael Godwin in 1990 states, "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

well.I think if you present your moms with soemthing creative and novelty, that will definitely make a hit.

If it is something ordinary,even if it is handmade,it can't get somewhere.

Take a look at this site http://www.htlgifts.com ,you will gain much from it.

You can buy sth from China with a somewhat low price in a convenient way.

Not many people know Chefs are in demand now and if you graduate with a culinary degree you can get a job right away http://ow.ly/1G7lM

People who do not live in Phx or have never been there and oppose the law are simply opposing out of ignorance. Illegals comprise almost a half million of the Phx area residents. Emergency room wait times can be as long as 7 hours and our classrooms are over populated due to illegals and their children. Phx is the kidnapping capital in the US due to the illegal immigration problem. Our legal tax paying dollars are being spent to aid illegals due to their inability to support themselves. When you get into a traffic accident with an illegal, the illegal simply walks away with a few tickets, which will never get paid. You on the other hand will be responsible for your own repairs. Would you want to live in a neighborhood that is overpopulated with illegals? Probably not. There are typically 20 people living in a single 3 bedroom home. The funny part is that a lot of them work in construction and are landscapers yet the homes that they live in are unkept. How's that for property values.

Ronald, you are very young and uninformed and you don’t have a clue about the consequences for that which you advocate for.

First, illegal abortion never has and never will stop abortion or even reduce its numbers. The number of abortions today is virtually the same as pre-Roe and we know that because of anecdotal information from pre-Roe days. Ruth Barnett performed 40,000 illegal but safe abortions in OR between 1918-1968. (The Abortionist: A Woman Against the Law-Rickie Solinger) That’s nearly 800 abortions per year. It would only take 1,250 additional illegal abortion providers across the U.S. during those years to reach a total of 1,000,000 million abortions a year. Feasible? Oh yes!

Dr. Josephine Gabler performed over 18,000 safe but illegal abortions between 1932-1941 in Chicago. That’s an average of 2,000 abortions a year. It would only take 499 additional illegal abortion providers across the U.S. during those years to reach a total of 1,000,000 million abortions a year. Feasible? Oh yes!

Dr. Edgar Bass Keemer, Jr. performed over 30,000 illegal but safe illegal abortions between 1938-1973. (When Abortion Was a Crime: Leslie J. Reagan and Carole Joffe- Doctor’s of Conscience) That’s an average of 858 abortions per year. It would only take 1,165 additional illegal abortion providers across the U.S. during those years to reach a total of 1,000,000 million abortions a year. Feasible? Oh yes!

The Jane Service, a group of women doing abortions in Chicago1969-1973 did 11,000 illegal but safe abortions including second trimester abortions. (Jane Legendary Underground Feminist Abortion Service: Laura Kaplan) That’s an average of 2,750 abortions per year. It would only take 364 additional illegal abortion providers across the U.S. during those years to reach a total of 1,000,000 million abortions a year. Feasible? Oh yes!

Moreover what’s different today than pre-Roe, the French abortion pill, RU-486. Think of it permeating the black-market. Go to LIfe and Liberty for Women and click on Illegal Abortion Pictorial on the left and see what illegal abortion looks like.

Next, it is extremely naïve not to know that illegal abortion maims and kills women while not saving babies. at illegal

Third, anti-abortion organizations and persons lament the lack of the will of Supreme Court Justices to overturn Roe year after year and I’ll tell you why the Nebraska law won’t change that. Despite what any of the anti-abortion conservative Supreme Court Justice has said or written about abortion and the restrictions they have upheld, there is a very huge difference in what they’ve said and all the restrictions they’ve upheld and turning the clock back to pre-Roe where those images I referenced above would become front and center and worse a reality in American life again. I guarantee you that no Supreme Court Justice wants to leave a legacy in which they are known for being the deciding vote for the carnage illegal abortion would leave across America again or even a legacy of having voted with the majority who overturned Roe vs. Wade. Even the so-called “Personhood” ballot initiatives that will be on the 2010 ballots in many states will fail – in a face to face with Roe – to overturn Roe because no Supreme Court Justice wants their legacy tarnished by images like that I referenced for you and even worse.

In addition, there is the consequence that anti-abortion people would have to face to implement criminalizing abortion again. For decades now your side has said abortion is murder. If it is murder it is so under all circumstances including when the life of the woman is at risk. If abortion is murder there can be no exceptions. Moreover, there is the subject of punishment for murder. In our country we don’t just punish murderers (doctors when abortion is illegal) but we punish solicitors of murder and when abortion is criminalized again that would be women and teenagers who solicited the murder. Women and teens would face life in prison or in states like Texas execution by the state. What happens then to mothers and to the families? And you would believe that any Supreme Court Justice wants to leave behind that kind of legacy?

They know there’s a better way to reduce the number of abortions that won’t maim or kill women or ruin their legacy. That’s preventing the need for abortion – that’s reducing the number of unintended pregnancies.

Finally, when men who pro-create within or outside of marriage are found by every conceivable poll in America to be the primary care givers of America’s children, the primary parent taking responsibility for raising the children they create, then we’ll talk about a man’s choice being equal to that of women facing an unintended pregnancy.

I think you have a reasonable idea going in your story. However, the SSA building was not created for only art students. It is a building for psychology, religion, and other areas as well. Therefore, I think your statement on "only allow art students" is unreasonable and would be an issue for many students on campus, including myself.

Our nation’s children work with what we have given to them. Too much of our popular media glorifies violence. Parents, teachers and citizens can do better for our youth. We have raised our children with patience and kindness, taking responsibility for teaching them to “Treat Others as we wish to be treated”. Our 3 children, who we do not HIT, are intelligent, reasonable and well-behaved and attend schools in an UNRESPONSIVE Paddling School District. We are unable to protect our children from witnessing/overhearing "teachers" threaten/HIT students with WOODEN PADDLES just outside class for minor infractions, then the battered student is further humiliated when they immediately face classmates with red and tear-stained face when they return to their seat. School Paddling creates a learning environment full of FEAR, INTIMIDATION ANXIETY, DREAD AND HUMILIATION! Maintaining order through fear and violence is NEVER JUSTIFIED! Tennessee State Law does NOT require Parental Consent or Notification for Children to be Physically/Corporally Punished in SCHOOL!

Corporal Punishment of Children in Schools in ILLEGAL IN 30 STATES where schools operate everyday without physical punishment! There are Pornographic Websites that promote Corporal Punishment/Sexual Assault of Children. NOT EXACTLY EDUCATION'S "BEST PRACTICE".

Our nation's most prominent and trusted Children's Health and Education Organizations have issued official Position Statements OPPOSING Physical/Corporal Punishment of Children in Schools!

A School District in Leflore County, Mississippi was SUED TWICE IN ONE MONTH for $500,000 EACH TIME by the families of elementary school children INJURED by school employees hitting them with WOODEN PADDLES to deliberately inflict physical pain and suffering intended to PUNISH them and an elementary school principal in La Vega, Texas was ARRESTED last month for INJURING a child by administering Corporal Punishment (hitting him with a wooden paddle). A Federal Lawsuit was filed in Mississippi February 2010 to ban school paddling and also seeks a Declaration that School Corporal Punishment is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! The Cost to ABOLISH Corporal Punishment of ALL CHILDREN IN ALL SCHOOLS IS $0.

U.S. Congress just passed the “Safe Students Act” and it is expected to pass the Senate, BUT it doesn’t keep kids safe as paddling is still allowed in schools in 20 states!

Until Congress forces states to stop the practice of administering physical/corporal punishment to children in schools, as urged by our nation's most prominent and trusted Children's Health and Education Organizations, children will still be subjected to suffering physical, psychological and emotional injuries from beatings in many schools in this country and school districts continue to run the risk of lawsuits.

Jarrod,

I appreciate your strong feelings about abortion, and I certainly understand if you felt uncomfortable reading the details of an abortion on Twitter. What I would encourage you to think about, however, is what relevance your response to Ms. Jackson's actions - either the act of ending her pregnancy or discussing her experience online - has to the world around you. You and I are, or at least ought to be, on the margins of any dialogue on this issue. In obtaining an abortion, Ms. Jackson made a private decision neither you nor I will ever be in a position to make for ourselves. It would be inappropriate for anyone to pass judgment on Ms. Jackson for ending her pregnancy, without walking in her shoes, but it is especially problematic for you as a male to criticize her - calling her "stupid" multiples times - on an issue that has nothing to do with you.

As far as live-tweeting the experience is concerned, an act which made Ms. Jackson's private decision quite public, again, I struggle to see the relevance of your opinion. You may have personally found her speech offensive, perhaps because you perceived that she was trivializing the moral significance of her actions. But then again, it wasn't for you. It had nothing to do with you. The simple fact that you identify as "pro-life" does not afford you any protected status. You are not a victim of Ms. Jackson's words. You disagree, and that's okay. Her actions - which, as you failed to notice, did accomplish her goal of demystifying abortions for other women - created a space through which we can all cross borders and better understand the experiences of others.

Unfortunately, your approach thus far has been to attempt to silence Ms. Jackson and other women who might speak about reproductive rights - calling her "stupid," attacking her for offending your delicate sensibilities, and suggesting that she ought to log off her Twitter account (the one that I'm assuming you had to go out and find in order to self-righteously rant on about all the ways a stranger's unintended pregnancy is all about you). That's no way to open yourself to learning. And if, on the other hand, you published this editorial merely for the sake of making an argument, there are much more effective and responsible ways to do that as well.

In closing, I hope you'll continue to share your views, especially through the Tack. But don't forget the assumptions, biases, privileges, and most importantly, the limitations, that you bring to the table as a writer. It doesn't take a rhetorician to point out that you're speaking from a position of ignorance and intolerance in your editorial. That doesn't mean you shouldn't write about controversial issues, but take seriously the implications of your words and your responsibilities as a writer.

Thanks!

I'm a woman, and I am offended by your article... I had a misscarriage of twins and they took the second baby, just like what happened to this woman... If anybody is strong enough to educate woman and the public, more power to her. You will never understand and until you educate yourself on the subject, you have no right to have an uneducated opinion...

Thank you for sharing your perspectives. It is my hope that coming out of the controversy is better understanding about the need to protect and uphold the rights of students to have the option to express their religion through school assignments -- and that there also will be a better understanding about the benevolent nature of the Wiccan religion and other forms of Nature religion. It also is important that teachers and other staff in public schools treat students of various religious orientations equally and fairly. More problematic than his violation of the policy permitting student religious expression in class assignments, is the teacher's public slurs against the Wiccan religion and his own admission that his prejudice against the Wiccan religion was the real reason that he wouldn't permit the student to create the Wiccan altar. Hopefully, this whole controversy can be transformed into an educational opportunity for the need to dispel misconceptions and bigotry through dialog and understanding. The American Pledge of Allegiance concludes with "Liberty and Justice for All" -- may this be upheld for all, especially in our public schools.
