...machinery if extracted from the womb." But the staff argues that abortion will still be morally acceptable when medical technology becomes capable of saving very young fetuses, making them "viable" according to the ahove definition. The staff never resolves this apparent (and real) inconsistency. Using the argument that a fetus' viability determines its moral worth renders the staff vulnerable to the argument it anticipates: that if viability is the criterion for deciding when a fetus is a person, then abortion rights would have to be restricted as technology pushes the age of viability back further and further...
...confederate flag is an inappropriate symbol for the Georgia state flag. Gov. Zell Miller, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the majority of those whom I know in Atlanta area all agree with this portion of Brown's tirade. His broad generalizations and prejudicial attacks, however, undermine his argument.

...then, on Feb. 19, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Hillary, in a fierce argument with Bill, had smashed a lamp in the family living quarters. The story spread like wildfire, embellished with the claim that Hillary had actually thrown the lamp at Bill in a raging argument. Hillary assumed the story came from the White House security detail, confirming her fears about their loyalty, and was upset that no one from the Secret Service came forward to deny it. The story soon appeared in Newsweek, and Hillary and Bill vented some of their anger on Foster and Watkins...
