Sweeping abortion bill approved by Kansas House committee
You are entitled to your opinion. Remember, though, it is simply YOUR opinion. You do not have the right to impose your beliefs on other people. If you don't like abortions, then hope you are never put in the difficult situation where you may need to choose one....don't like it, don't do it.

Sweeping abortion bill approved by Kansas House committee
Seems Norway, who was recently declared as the "happiest country in the world," is doing pretty good with their socialist government. Then there's Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, etc....every country in this world is having a hard time with their economy (since the world's economies are interconnected). It is not due to socialism. Communism and socialism are not even close to the same thing. Maybe read up on the subject from actual fact-based sources. You sure drank enough of the ultra-conservative, republican propagandists' cool-aid.

Yes, since it takes two to tango. Each party is just as responsible as the other, whether or not the decision is made to keep the pregnancy. This issue is about personal rights, rights of your own body. If men could get pregnant, this wouldn't be an issue. Men are the ones in control of our state's government; they're the ones trying to take rights away from women.

I never made a claim if I am for or against abortion. I believe it should be left up to the individual, since no one should be able to force anyone into pregnancy (or out of for that matter). It is a personal rights violation if you try.

Sweeping abortion bill approved by Kansas House committee
The belief that a fetus is a human in all the rights given is a very new, modern concept. Even if it were determined beyond doubt by scientific evidence that a fetus is fully human in every way, it still does not mean that fetus has more rights than the mother. It is a slippery-slope when you take rights away from a woman simply because she can become pregnant. Whether or not abortion is morally right or wrong does not matter in the grand scope of things. An individual (already born) rights are more important than a mass of cells with the potential to someday be human.

In Time is a good movie, conceptually thought-provoking.

No charges yet, but information about alleged turkey abuse case sent to D.A.'s office
What difference does it make if it were rented or owned? Abuse is wrong in either situation.

Riordan leads Lawrence City Commission candidate field in fundraising, new reports show
Terry Riordan is an upstanding man and will definitely get my vote. Is there any actual evidence of him being otherwise?

Kansas Senate committee OK's plan to exclude courts from school finance
Kansas...are you filled with a bunch of idiots? Or just sheeple who go with whatever the "right" person tells them? In this case, the "right" person is the governor since he claims to be a Christian. I have lived in Kansas my whole life and my attitude towards it has changed since moving to the eastern side. But I still keep being embarrassed by the rest of this backwards state. When people I meet from another state or country ask where I'm from, I don't like telling them Kansas. I really want to be proud of this state, but not sure how that will happen considering the nonsense the government keeps pulling.

Lawrence man found guilty of animal cruelty after tying dog's hind legs
Being an idiot is not an excuse. The dog obviously bit him because of something he did to provoke her. Whether or not it was intentional does not matter to an animal that reacts off of instinct. Being bit is absolutely no reason to tie the dog up with zip-ties. Like I said, being an idiot is not excusable when it comes to harming a innocent animal. By the way, there are no bad dogs, only bad owners.
