    Stressful for whom?

    And, again, in this example, they are not the ones in the most stressful situation:

    “The fetus is able to mount a physicochemical stress response to pain starting around 18 weeks of gestation. It becomes capable of experiencing pain between 20 and 30 weeks of gestation.”

    Is it me, or do some GOP House leaders know how bad the health care bill is and, just because they promised to overthrow Obamacare, are moving it through committees at warp speed?

    Then do something about it. But all the lip service is boring.

    Lots of smoke. Needs to be investigated thoroughly by Congress to be sure there's no fire. To protect America.

    Liberals hate them some fetuses. Best to kill 'em before they become a problem.

    Oh, they know exactly how bad it is, which is exactly why they want to ram it down the public's throat without hearings, CBO scoring and all the things they accuse of Obama not doing for ACA - but that actually happened.

    Are you jumping on the Starman bandwagon along with OOPBot?

    Please, give me an example of political activism that you think goes beyond lip service, and is not boring.

    What do you respect? Wearing a pink "Pussy hat" and taking selfies of yourself at a rally?

    The weird thing is, if the Republicans just passed their big tax cut and did nothing more, Trump and they could bask in the continuing economic expansion and be pretty popular. But their main priorities (repealing Obamacare, immigration crackdown) are both more likely to disrupt that expansion than not. People suddenly paying a lot more for the same insurance policy or without insurance altogether are unlikely to boost their consumer spending in other areas. Subtract a few million people from the economy, and it shrinks, not grows.

    Silliness. There's as much smoke here as in the Vince Foster suicide, or in the Bill Clinton body count.

    In no other context does the argument that we have no evidence, therefore we must investigate, hold any water.

    Oh, Lord, there's a metric shit ton more evidence than those two whackadoo things you referenced.

    Yeah. That was sure let go of quickly and in no way dwelled on for decades.

    Of course, when the vice president's son joined the board of directors of Ukraine's largest gas company on the heels of the NATO/U.S.-supported coup in Ukraine . . . no smoke there. Not even an ember.
